The society comprises a total of 11 buildings, which were constructed in 1968. All the buildings were built on an ownership basis by LIC staff. The project is expected to hold a total construction and development potential of over 1 million sq ft.
The company is currently working on approvals and the construction is expected to commence following the formal handover of the site by the society. The completion of the project is targeted within 36 to 48 months thereafter. The total investment for the project is expected to be around Rs 750 crore, including construction costs, floorspace index premium, rentals, and corpus to the society. Sunteck Realty is likely to fund the entire development through internal accruals.
The company has recently signed the 79 A agreement with the housing society and is currently working on the further planning of the project. An agreement with the housing society under Section 79 A of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, requires majority consent of members before finalizing redevelopment plans. This structured process emphasizes transparency, member rights, and legal protection.
Real estate projects involving the redevelopment of old housing societies and rehabilitation are the mainstay of the Mumbai region’s property market. The land-starved city and its peripheral areas have few vacant land parcels. In 2023, the government of Maharashtra stated that a member of a housing society that undergoes redevelopment need not pay stamp duty on the allotted permanent accommodation as part of the project.
Following this, the member of the housing society undergoing redevelopment is expected to pay only Rs 100 as stamp duty, while the principal agreement between the developer and the housing society will be charged as per the conveyance. The state government’s decision and ongoing buoyancy in the property market have been playing a key role in pushing the redevelopment of many old and dilapidated housing societies across key cities in the state.
