About the Project
The Bombay Development Department (BDD) was set up in 1920 by the then Governor, who designed a massive housing and development scheme on 22 hectares of land in Worli. The construction of 121 chawl buildings, each with 80 rooms, was completed between 1921 and 1925 to solve the massive housing shortage during that time. Currently around 9,700 families reside in the project precincts. Since the housing colonies are now more than 90 years old and have completed their life cycle, the Government of Maharashtra decided for its redevelopment .
The project is being developed by Mumbai Housing and Area Development Board, a regional unit of Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority and will be constructed in 5 phases in 8 years. The project comprises of around 98 rehabilitation and sale buildings having 22 to 66 floors and involves construction across 26 million square feet. The project also requires construction of around 720 units in transit camp. Around 10,000 employment opportunities will be generated through this project.
