Every developer remembers two kinds of deals. The first got away because the feasibility numbers arrived a week after the committee made its decision. The second went ahead because the site looked right, the seller was persuasive, and nobody wanted to be the one to say stop. Both cost money, and neither failed for lack […]

Ask ten people about the Mumbai property market and you will get ten different answers. That is because there is no single market. There are dozens of Mumbai micro – markets, and a Lower Parel penthouse, a Ghatkopar redevelopment flat and a Panvel launch near the new airport have different buyers, different price logic and […]

A Turning Point in Redevelopment Governance Maharashtra’s housing‑society redevelopment framework has entered a new era with the Government Order dated 30 September 2026, issued under Section 79A of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act 1960. This order replaces the 2019 Resolution and all circulars under it, responding to years of complaints about opaque tendering, arbitrary developer appointments, expired committees taking major decisions, and […]

You have just been sent a land opportunity. The location looks promising. The plot size sounds right. The broker has already quoted an FSI, and the asking price is pegged to what “similar plots” nearby have fetched. Then someone asks: “Okay. But what can we actually build here?” That question can change the entire conversation. […]

Before calculating FSI, project cost or land value, there is a more fundamental question every real estate developer needs to answer: Who actually governs the land? How many real estate authorities are in Maharashtra? In Maharashtra, the answer is rarely a single authority. A land parcel may fall under one Planning Authority, be owned or […]

A LandWise feasibility read on a sea-view Worli plot where reservations shape the whole deal Vaitarna Bheema Worli Sagar CHS (Plot 26/28, BHEEMA, Sir Pochkhanwala Road, CS No. 751) has invited sealed bids under DCPR 2034. The tender document is on sale at the society office from 16 to 26 September 2026 for a non-refundable […]

If you have ever sat across the table from more than one developer about the same plot, you know the frustration. One offers you 40% of the built-up area. Another offers a flat number in crores. A third throws around the phrase “market rate” like it settles anything. Ask any of them how they got […]

A housing society invites bids for redevelopment. One developer offers 30% additional area. Another offers 40%. A third offers 50%, a higher corpus and better rent. Who has made the best offer? From the society’s perspective, the answer may seem obvious. From the developer’s perspective, it is not. The real question is: How much can […]

For a developer evaluating a land opportunity in Mumbai, the first question is often: “How much FSI can I get?” But FSI is only the starting point. The more important questions are: Which scheme applies? Can it be combined with another scheme? What development potential does it create? What does it cost to unlock? And […]

Mumbai real estate realisation and asking price have quietly stopped being the same number in 2026. Your sheet carries one price. Your bank account will see another — and the distance between them is where margins are going this year. A developer in Borivali West told me his sale price without pausing. Thirty-two thousand a […]
