One of South Mumbai's Last Large Land Parcels, Reimagined by Lodha
Price on Request
Lodha Malabar Hill Redevelopment is the transformation of one of the last large, contiguous land parcels in South Mumbai into an address of considered luxury. Lodha, which has delivered over 110 million square feet of real estate since its founding in 1980, acquired the development rights from the Sorabji Kanga Charity Trust in January 2026 for a consideration of Rs 106.12 crore, with the market value of the development rights assessed at approximately Rs 621.71 crore. The project carries an estimated revenue potential of around Rs 2,800 crore, reflecting both the scarcity of the site and the depth of demand for residences at this address.
Malabar Hill is not simply a premium postal code — it is a neighbourhood where the Arabian Sea is a constant presence, where Kamala Nehru Park and the Hanging Gardens sit at eye level, and where the city's noise recedes into a quieter register. Residences here face out over the Queen's Necklace, the arc of Marine Drive that has defined Mumbai's civic identity for nearly a century. This project is designed to preserve that relationship between architecture and open sky, delivering homes where the view is not incidental but structural to the design.
Lodha brings to this site the craft it has applied to projects such as Lodha Altamount, Lodha Malabar on Walkeshwar Road, and the World Towers at Lower Parel — each a study in how South Mumbai's specific urban grain can be read and elevated through precise architecture. The Malabar Hill site carries a permissible FSI of 4.0 under DCPR 2034, enabling meaningful height and volume while the surrounding neighbourhood ensures low-rise character at the immediate street level. Construction will follow Lodha's established approach: RCC-framed structure, large-format flooring, curated fixtures, and building-management systems consistent with the developer's upper-tier product.
The timing of this project aligns with a measurable shift in the Malabar Hill micro-market. In 2025, the area recorded 41 sale transactions with a gross sales value of Rs 1,038 crore; by Q4 2025, average rates stood at approximately Rs 1,37,500 per square foot, up sharply from Rs 98,566 per square foot in the same quarter of the prior year. The completed Phase 1 of the Mumbai Coastal Road, with its twin tunnels running beneath the hill, now connects Marine Drive to Worli in a fraction of the previous travel time, adding a connectivity advantage that was absent even five years ago.
Enquiries for Lodha Malabar Hill Redevelopment are open to those who understand what it means to hold a stake in one of Mumbai's most irreplaceable addresses. Reach the Lodha channel-partner team for configuration details, payment structure, and pre-launch access.

Malabar Hill, South Mumbai, Maharashtra 400006 · Mumbai
Malabar Hill sits at the southernmost tip of Mumbai, rising above the Arabian Sea on one side and Back Bay on the other. The neighbourhood commands panoramic views stretching from Marine Drive's arc of light to Girgaon Chowpatty and Nariman Point's skyline. Raj Bhavan, the official residence of the Governor of Maharashtra, anchors the hill's heritage character, while Banganga Tank, Walkeshwar Temple, and the Hanging Gardens give it a cultural depth found nowhere else in the city. Property values here range among the highest in India, driven by an almost complete absence of large, undeveloped land.
The site acquired by Lodha spans 17,403 square metres — approximately 4.3 acres — making it one of the last remaining contiguous land parcels of this scale in Malabar Hill. Nariman Point and Cuffe Parade, Mumbai's principal commercial addresses, lie within 10 kilometres. Breach Candy Hospital and Jaslok Hospital are within 2 kilometres, while Bombay International School and The Universal School are reachable in under 3 kilometres. The now-operational Mumbai Coastal Road, which runs twin tunnels directly beneath Malabar Hill, has materially shortened travel time between South Mumbai and the western suburbs, reinforcing the strategic value of this address.

The 10.58-km eight-lane expressway from Marine Drive to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, with twin tunnels running directly beneath Malabar Hill, is now operational, cutting travel time from South Mumbai to Worli to approximately 10 minutes.
A 5.25-km promenade from Priyadarshini Park to Worli, inaugurated in August 2025, provides residents of Malabar Hill direct pedestrian and cycling access to one of the world's great waterfront public spaces.
Mumbai Metro Line 3, connecting Aarey to Cuffe Parade via the city's central corridor, brings underground rail access to South Mumbai for the first time, improving connectivity from the broader Malabar Hill precinct to BKC and the airport.
Phase 2 of the Coastal Road, extending approximately 19 km northward from Worli to Kandivali, is under active development by the BMC and will further reduce north-south commute time when operational, benefiting Malabar Hill residents travelling to western suburbs.
Under the DCPR 2034 redevelopment framework, Lodha will hand over 38,990 square metres of built area to MHADA as part of this project's approvals, funding upgraded urban infrastructure and social housing within the broader South Mumbai precinct.
New large-footprint supply in Malabar Hill is structurally constrained by topography, heritage regulations, and near-total prior development. This 4.3-acre site, assembled through a single agreement with the Sorabji Kanga Charity Trust, is among the most significant land positions in the precinct in years.
Malabar Hill's elevated position delivers panoramic views of Back Bay, the Queen's Necklace arc of Marine Drive, Girgaon Chowpatty, and the open Arabian Sea horizon — views that are constitutionally protected by the absence of any future obstructing construction on the hill's western face.
Lodha was founded in 1980 and has delivered over 110 million square feet of real estate, including Lodha Altamount and Lodha Malabar on Walkeshwar Road in the same precinct. The developer's institutional knowledge of South Mumbai's regulatory landscape and construction environment is directly relevant to this project.
The operational Phase 1 Coastal Road, with its twin tunnels beneath Malabar Hill, now connects Marine Drive to Worli in approximately 10 minutes. Residents have direct access to the 5.25-km sea-facing promenade inaugurated in August 2025.
Average transacted rates in Malabar Hill rose from Rs 98,566 per square foot in Q4 2024 to approximately Rs 1,37,500 per square foot in Q4 2025 — a near-40 percent increase in twelve months — underpinned by severe supply scarcity and sustained demand from ultra-high-net-worth buyers.
Malabar Hill is home to Raj Bhavan, foreign consulates, and the residences of India's most prominent business and public figures. The neighbourhood's regulated, low-density character means the lifestyle it offers today is structurally preserved for the long term.
