Bhendi Bazaar, Mumbai

This 16.5 acre majestic project is the largest urban renewal project in India, and is the first Smart
Neighbourhood. This project will help turn a squalid city pocket into a green heaven without burdening
Mumbai’s shaky infrastructure. It will uplift the living standards of more than 3200 households and 1250
shops. Changing the face of the old city centre with its crumbling infrastructure, poor sanitations,
inhabitable buildings and lack of public green spaces will be replaced by habitable homes with cultural &
community spaces and better infrastructure. Bhendi bazaar will be transformed to meet needs of
growing population. The project acts as an ideal module for future development of the City.
This magnificent project attempts at bringing in orderliness to existing fabric of Bhendi Bazar without
losing out on the essence and character of 20th century neighbourhood. This undertakes responsibility
to spiritually, socially, economically & psychologically uplift the locality; to provide the residents with
new ownership apartments; to offering wider roads, 50 % more open spaces, well lit houses with
parking facilities, amenities, community spaces and shops; and in doing all this maintain religious
structures within the site. The project takes a step towards an environmentally friendly Mumbai.
