Detailed Report · as of 06/26
The Imperial Worli
Worli sea-facing ultra-luxury (one apartment per floor) on an MCGM-land slum-rehabilitation (SRA) leasehold scheme, one plot inland of Lodha Sea Face. The slum-rehabilitation (SRA) makes the redevelopment subject to a live perpetual-lease suit; marketing hides the on-plot rehab, an officially deficient open space and a sea view the neighbours are closing in on.
INVESTIGATErevisit on a current status of suit 456/2016, a unit-level mortgage release, and full-height commencement certificate (CC)as of 06/26
BMC land on a standard 30+30 lease (renewal negligible), but redevelopment the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) makes subject to a live perpetual-lease suit + a Rs.125 Cr mortgage RERA omits + a ~2-year-stale record — against ~20+ floors already built, best-in-corpus 3-min access, an efficient full-floor home, a clean white price and a homogeneous UHNW community.
A genuine Worli sea-facing home with three-minute coastal access, already rising past 20 floors — but on BMC land whose redevelopment the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) itself makes subject to a live perpetual-lease court case, with a Rs.125 Cr developer mortgage the RERA filing omits and records two years out of date.
The strengths are real and the build is visibly progressing — ~20+ floors are up (June 2026), with an efficient one-apartment-per-floor 4BHK, a good kitchen air path, ~3-minute Coastal Road access (best in the corpus), a fully-white registration (~2x ready-reckoner) and a homogeneous Rs.35-70 Cr UHNW community. The tenure is a non-issue (a standard BMC 30+30 slum-rehabilitation (SRA) lease, negligible renewal). What holds the verdict back is the legal fundamentals, and that they are under-evidenced: a pending perpetual-lease suit (456/2016) with a live 2018 injunction the slum-rehabilitation (SRA)'s own approval makes the scheme subject to, and a Rs.125 Cr Piramal mortgage the RERA portal doesn't show — both of which a buyer must run as live due-diligence (including a no-lien release of their own unit), on a record that is ~2 years stale with no RERA filing in ~2 years. Add an officially 'deficient' open space, concealment marketing, and a sea view open today but the most exposed of the four aspects (Lodha's rehab, a possible ~30-floor Aarey tower in front). The verdict is Investigate, leaning Skip until the suit/injunction and the mortgage (and the unit-level release) are refreshed and cleared.

The five things that decide it
1A pending suit by claimants to a 999-year lease (LC 456/2016) holds a live 2018 injunction, and the slum-rehabilitation (SRA)'s own permission makes the redevelopment 'subject to the outcome of the suit' — a buyer must check its current status before committing.
2The title report flags a Rs.125 crore Piramal mortgage on the development rights while RERA records 'no encumbrance'; a buyer should secure a written no-lien release for their specific apartment.
3Records are ~2 years stale (mid-2024) and RERA hasn't been filed in ~2 years; the building is clearly rising (20+ floors as of June 2026), so it's a filing lapse not a stall, but the legal position must be refreshed.
4The sea view is open today but the most exposed of the four aspects: Lodha's rehab sours the proper west and a ~30-floor Aarey redevelopment (under discussion) sits directly in front; the reel hides the on-plot rehab and an officially 'deficient' open space.
5The strengths are real and durable: a standard BMC 30+30 lease (negligible renewal), an efficient one-per-floor 4BHK, ~3-minute Coastal Road access, a fully-white registration (~2x ready-reckoner) and a homogeneous Rs.35-70 Cr UHNW community.

Clear Title5/10
BMC land on a standard 30+30 lease — but the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) ties the scheme to a live perpetual-lease suit
- The land is owned by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (BMC), and the buyer takes a standard slum-rehabilitation (SRA) 30+30-year lease.
- That tenure is not the concern: it is the normal slum-rehabilitation (SRA) structure and, on BMC land, renewal cost is negligible.
- The concern is litigation.
- The claimants — heirs of a 1945 BMC lessee — assert a 999-year perpetual lease over the plot; their suit (456/2016) is pending with a live 2018 interim injunction, and, critically, the slum-rehabilitation (SRA)'s own permission states the redevelopment 'is subject to the outcome of the suit'.
- Higher courts have favoured the scheme (Bombay High Court 2018, Supreme Court 2019), but the leasehold-declaration suit itself is open, and the record is about two years old.
- Tenure: standard BMC 30+30 SRA lease — renewal negligible, not a real risk.
- Live risk: the 456/2016 suit + 2018 injunction, which the SRA ties the scheme to — verify the current status.
- Pair it with the mortgage check: get a no-lien release for your specific unit.
The objector's parallel challenges were dismissed by the Bombay High Court (2018) and the Supreme Court (2019); what remains live is the City Civil Court leasehold-declaration suit, its 2018 injunction, and the SRA's condition tying the scheme to that suit.

Imperial Worli ranks 12 of 12.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Clear Title” on the X-Ray page ↗- What is the current status of suit 456/2016 and its 2018 injunction, and will my specific apartment be released from the Rs.125 Cr Piramal mortgage (a no-lien confirmation for my unit)?
Delivery5/10
Already 20+ floors up — but unproven builder, stale RERA, and upper floors still to be cleared
- This is the first Imperial/D&A project Rexray has assessed, so there is no builder track record on file yet, and the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) scheme has run since 1999 with developer churn.
- But the building is visibly rising — 20+ floors as of June 2026 — so it is no longer a stalled-shell risk.
- The remaining delivery questions are the upper full-potential floors and the triplex penthouse, which need further commencement certificate (Commencement Certificate) above the 21st floor, and the fact that RERA has not been updated in about two years (a filing lapse rather than a stall).
- RERA completion is June 2028.
- On the builder itself, there is no completed, occupation-certified portfolio to assess yet for this brand, so the track record is treated as unproven rather than graded.
- As we build out the Rexray portfolio, we will be able to track delivery adherence at the builder level.

Understand “Delivery” on the X-Ray page ↗- When is full-height commencement certificate (CC) expected and what is the current construction level?
Developer Compliance5/10
RERA filings are incomplete and two years stale — legibility fair
- The MahaRERA record is incomplete and has not been updated in about two years, though what is there is fairly legible.
- Rexray therefore reads the registered Agreement for Sale as the primary instrument.
Two reconciliations stand out: the portal records 'no financial encumbrance' although the title report flags a Rs.125 crore mortgage, and the boundary orientation differs across the RERA record, the agreement and the title report.
Where this sits across the corpus · Developer Compliance
Imperial Worli ranks 8 of 12.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Developer Compliance” on the X-Ray page ↗- Can the developer provide a clear area statement and reconcile the RERA 'no-encumbrance' entry with the title report's mortgage?
Brochure-vs-Reality4/10
The marketing reel hides the rehab next door and the wall in front of the sea
- The Instagram reel sells an open Worli sea outlook and is framed to exclude the on-plot New Sagar Vihar rehab building, the adjacent Lodha rehab, the MCGM/slum-rehabilitation (SRA) tenure and the pending leasehold suit.
- It also shows the sea without its north-west Lodha wall or the Aarey compound in the foreground.
On the positive side, the sea-view claim is substantiated for the high floors today and there is no floor-count inflation. A formal builder-level score needs three completed projects assessed.

View5/10
Open sea today, but the most exposed aspect — Lodha's rehab and a possible 30-floor tower in front
The subject sits one plot inland of Lodha Sea Face, so the in-corridor raycast puts Lodha's own tower and slum-rehabilitation (SRA)-Dairy rehab across the north-west, walling that aspect below roughly the 77th floor — and Rexray's field read is that the Lodha rehab also sours the proper west.
- West: open Arabian Sea today, but only over the low Aarey/Dairy quarters — whose redevelopment is under discussion and would rise to ~30 floors directly in front, walling the sea below ~F30 (band 4).
- North/north-west: walled below ~F77 by Lodha Sea Face's tower and rehab (band 3).
- South: the genuinely clean aspect, largely open; Godrej Trilogy clips a sliver high up (band 7).
- East: the Worli mill-belt plus the rear on-plot rehab at the base (band 4).
This is the 'different, worse view risk' to flag against Lodha next door: Lodha's own west sea is open, whereas Imperial's is soured to the north-west by Lodha's mass and exposed in front by a redevelopable Aarey compound.
Today: West sea open over the low Aarey quarters; north-west walled below ~F77 by Lodha's tower + rehab; south the clean aspect.By 2032: A ~30-floor Aarey redevelopment in front (under discussion) would wall the west sea below ~F30; watch any rise of the adjacent/rear rehab.

Layout & Living7/10
Efficient one-per-floor 4BHK (~85%) with a wraparound balcony
A single apartment per floor on a roughly 412 sqm plate (about 2,716 sqft carpet) means very little internal common-corridor waste; the kitchen vents to an external utility, there are staff quarters, and a curved wraparound balcony avoids the no-deck penalty at this price.
- Efficiency draws in below the ~92% of Lodha next door because the three-lift, twin-staircase and fireman-lift core is proportionally large for a ~2,716 sqft home.
- The ~85% is drafted off the plan and seals once the layout is confirmed.

Imperial Worli ranks 9 of 12.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Layout & Living” on the X-Ray page ↗- The west-face glass specification — brand, glazing thickness, and the heat-trapping (SHGC / U-value) number.
Non-RERA Area5/10
You pay for a ~321 sqft floor lobby you won't own — eased by one-per-floor
- The agreement separately lists 320.98 sqft of 'Appurtenant/Limited Common Areas on the floor' — about 12% of carpet, the private foyer/lift-lobby zone in this one-apartment-per-floor tower.
- Rexray's field read is that this is priced in: roughly Rs.3.4-4.1 crore of exclusive-use common area the buyer pays for but does not legally own.
- The mitigation is the layout itself: with one apartment per floor, the risk of future municipal enforcement against that lobby is relatively low (the Nautilus precedent).
- The disclosed 304 sqft balcony is owned and not a concern.
Where this sits across the corpus · Non-RERA Area
Imperial Worli ranks 11 of 12.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Non-RERA Area” on the X-Ray page ↗- Is the 320.98 sqft appurtenant/limited-common area priced into my consideration, and do I own it?
Pricing6/10
Rs.35.08 Cr, ~2x above ready-reckoner — fully white; a tight Rs.35-70 Cr ladder
The unit registered at Rs.35.08 crore against a ready-reckoner value of about Rs.17.44 crore — roughly twice, i.e. fully white at a premium (the opposite of a cash-component signal; stamp duty Rs.2.10 crore).
The ticket ladder is tight and high — entry around Rs.35 crore, duplexes to about Rs.70 crore — which narrows the buyer pool (a mild resale-liquidity consideration) but keeps the community homogeneous and ultra-high-net-worth.
- ~Rs.129,170/sqft on carpet alone.
- ~Rs.116,159/sqft on carpet + balcony.
- ~Rs.105,000/sqft on carpet + balcony + the appurtenant area.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Pricing” on the X-Ray page ↗- What is the all-in cost — including stamp duty, registration and goods-and-services tax (GST)?
- What is the rate on the area I actually own (carpet plus deck) versus the marketed area?

6.9/10FairPillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.
Compound Density4/10
A rehab building for ~83 families and an officially 'deficient' open space — none of it marketed
- Under slum-rehabilitation (SRA) Reg. 33(10), the marquee one-per-floor sale tower (Building No.2) shares a small ~1,612 sqm MCGM plot with Rehab Building No.1, which rehouses roughly 83 eligible slum families at about 225 sqft each plus the scheme's amenity tenements.
- Lodha's slum-rehabilitation (SRA)-Dairy rehab sits just to the north-west as well.
- Because the plot is small, the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) approval records the scheme as planned with deficient open space, and the developer must make buyers accept it and indemnify the slum-rehabilitation (SRA).
- None of this — the rehab building, the deficient open space — appears in the marketing reel.

Neighbourhood5/10
Open to the sea today, but a dense and contingent surround
- The west is open to the sea today, but the surround is dense and contingent: the redevelopable Aarey/Dairy quarters in front, Lodha's rehab and tower to the north-west, the rear on-plot rehab to the east, the Worli sewage works nearby and the wider mill-belt pipeline.
- What the buyer experiences by 2032 depends heavily on the Aarey redevelopment and the corridor.

Peak-Hour Connectivity9/10
About 3 minutes to the Coastal Road / Sea Link — best in the corpus
- Access is seamless off Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan Marg — roughly 3 minutes to the nearest Coastal Road / Sea Link entry (right beside Lodha Sea Face).
- Among the very best access in the corpus.
Fixable? Builders like to sell connectivity as kilometres from a landmark — but the real test is time, not distance: how long you would actually be stuck, at peak hour, just getting to a fast arterial like a Sea Link or Coastal Road on-ramp. The access route and the on-ramp are municipal and outside the developer's control, so there is no fix to offer — only an honest read of the peak-hour reality today and the area's trajectory by 2032, once the surrounding pipeline has built out.
Where this sits across the corpus · Peak-Hour Connectivity
Imperial Worli ranks 3 of 12.
Kitchen Ventilation9/10
Kitchen vents to an external utility — PASS
- On the typical floor the kitchen sits on the external east wall next to a laundry utility and service entry, giving a confirmed exterior air path — important at this price for heavy Indian cooking.
- KVF PASS.
Where this sits across the corpus · Kitchen Ventilation
Imperial Worli ranks 10 of 12.
Lift Wait7/10
Grade B lifts — solid, a notch below best-in-class
- Three passenger lifts plus a fireman lift serve one apartment per floor, giving an up-peak interval of roughly 34-43 seconds across the luxury speed band — Grade B.
- Comfortable, though one notch below the Grade-A standard a ~Rs.35 crore ticket ideally wants (Lodha next door runs a six-lift Grade-A core).
Even on conservative all-stop assumptions, waits stay in the B (occasionally C) range.

Shorter is better. Imperial Worli ranks 11 of 12.
Water Adequacy6/10
slum-rehabilitation (SRA) scheme on recycled water and a trunk-main dependency — WARN
- The slum-rehabilitation (SRA) conditions provide for an on-site rainwater-harvesting tank, organic-waste converters and a bio-degradable waste treatment plant, and the project's bulk water depends on Water Trunk Main and Aqueduct remarks required before the rehab building's further clearance.
- The exact sanctioned water-No-Objection Certificate unit count is not in the set, so the adequacy delta cannot be precisely computed — WARN rather than FAIL.

Build Planning & Qualitynot yet scored
A checklist to verify with the builder — Rexray will score this attribute as the field database grows.
Rexray's database will, over time, be enriched with the attention to detail and quality ethos of each builder. For now, below is the checklist you should verify with the builder before you decide.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Build Planning & Quality” on the X-Ray page ↗- Who's the architect, and what comparable have they delivered?
- Do the lobbies need lights during the day?
- Gym/pool/lobby sized for how many residents? (gym sqft / residents)
- Does this unit's layout meet your Vastu requirements (entry, kitchen, master)?
- Can a fire tender or an ambulance reach the lobby?
- Who is actually building it?
- Mivan or conventional — and how are the tie-holes grouted and cracks controlled?
- What's the realistic floor-cycle, and how does the monsoon factor in?
- Which steel/cement? Facade glazing spec? MEP contractor? STP/solar?
- Which marble/fittings exactly? Which window system? VRV brand?
- Deck/bathroom waterproofing system? How's the facade sealed into the structure?
- Gypsum or block internal walls — and are the party walls insulated?
- Does the back-up generator power my whole flat, or only the common areas?
- Is the parking solo, tandem, or a mechanical stack — and how wide are the bays?
Community8/10
Homogeneous UHNW community — a tight Rs.35-70 Cr ladder
- With an entry ticket around Rs.35 crore rising to about Rs.70 crore for the duplexes and penthouse, the community is homogeneous and ultra-high-net-worth — fully white registrations, large full-floor 4BHK-plus-staff homes.
- The rehab co-habitation is a density (IPD) matter — the societies are legally separate after possession — and is not a community-composition input.
What to ask the builder
Understand “Community” on the X-Ray page ↗- What is the ticket-size range in the building — the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive home?
- Is the building vegetarian-only, or skewed to a single community?
- Is it owner-occupied, or investor- and tenant-heavy?
- What is the pet policy?

Pending perpetual-leasehold suit (LC 456/2016) with a live injunction — the SRA itself makes the scheme subject to its outcome
MarketedRERA portal lists the litigation (456/2016) but marketing is silent
DocumentedThe legal heirs of Lulu Vas (claiming a 999-year perpetual lease from a pre-1945 MCGM allotment), through POA Shailesh Chheda, have a PENDING City Civil Court suit (LC 456/2016) seeking a declaration of a valid subsisting perpetual lease + permanent injunction. By order 07.03.2018 the court granted them INTERIM RELIEF restraining the defendants from acting on MCGM's 2015 decision; that injunction is still operational. Higher courts dismissed Chheda's parallel challenges (High Court 2018, SC 2019), and the advocate notes mitigants (no lease deed ever executed; no adverse order against the scheme), but the leasehold-declaration suit + injunction survive. CRITICALLY, the SRA IOA (condition 77) expressly states the buyer/developer 'shall abide to the decision of City Civil Court in suit no. 456 of 2016 & redevelopment of the said land is SUBJECT TO OUTCOME OF THE SUIT' — so the SRA approval itself conditions the entire scheme on the Lulu Vas leasehold suit.
Claimants to a 999-year lease hold a pending suit + live 2018 injunction, and the SRA permission makes the whole redevelopment subject to that suit's outcome.

Rs.125 crore Piramal mortgage on the development rights — RERA portal says 'no encumbrance'

Evidence base is ~2 years stale on the most dynamic fundamentals; RERA not updated in ~2 years
Marketed(not addressed)
DocumentedEvery key fundamentals record dates to mid-2024 — the title report and SRO/litigation searches (Jun 2024) and the RERA filing (Jun 2024) — and the MahaRERA portal has not had a quarterly update in ~2 years. The items most likely to have moved are exactly the high-stakes ones: the status of LC Suit 456/2016 and its 2018 injunction, the Rs.125 Cr Piramal mortgage balance, Commencement Certificate progress above F21, and sold/unsold inventory. A 2-year RERA reporting gap is itself a compliance lapse and a possible stall signal against a 30.06.2028 completion date. NOTE: the building is visibly rising (~20+ floors as of Jun 2026), so the 2-year RERA silence is a COMPLIANCE LAPSE (building-but-not-filing), not a construction stall — but the legal items (suit 456/2016, the Piramal charge) still require a current refresh.
The title/RERA records are ~2 years old on the most live items (the lease suit, the mortgage) and RERA hasn't updated in ~2 years; the project is clearly building (so it's a filing lapse, not a stall), but the legal position must be refreshed before relying on it.

DocumentedThe building is sanctioned to a full-potential 31 floors (RERA); Commencement Certificate is granted to the 21st-floor RCC. Rexray field: the building is physically ~20-25 floors as of June 2026 — i.e. built to roughly the Commencement Certificate'd extent, so the structure is visibly rising (not a stalled shell). The remaining contingency is the upper full-potential floors + the triplex penthouse (above ~F21), which need further Commencement Certificate, on a small SPV / ~25-year scheme. RERA completion 30.06.2028.

DocumentedThe SRA IOA condition 81 requires the developer to give a registered undertaking that the building is planned with DEFICIENT OPEN SPACE and to insert a clause in buyer agreements that buyers accept it and will not complain to the SRA, indemnifying the SRA and its staff. A direct consequence of squeezing a rehab building + a marquee sale tower onto a ~1,612 sqm plot.

The direct West sea arc is open today but only over the LOW Aarey/Dairy quarters, which are redevelopable prime government coastal land that could rise into the foreground. South is the cleaner open aspect; East faces the Worli mill-belt + the rear on-plot rehab. The marketed sea view is real today but materially more exposed than Lodha's own.
The sea view is open today but sandwiched — Lodha's tower walls the north-west sea and the redevelopable Aarey quarters sit in front.

On-plot rehab + adjacent Lodha rehabs concealed in the marketing reel
MarketedPrivate ultra-luxury sea-facing estate (reel)
DocumentedThe marquee one-per-floor sale tower shares its small ~1,612 sqm MCGM plot with the on-plot New Sagar Vihar rehab building (~83-106 rehoused families at ~225 sqft each, 'the SRA behind the sale building'), and the adjacent Lodha SRA-Dairy rehab sits just north-west. None of this appears in the marketing reel, which is framed to exclude it.
A slum-rehab building for ~83-106 families shares the small plot (and Lodha's rehab sits next door) — concealed in the marketing.

'Appurtenant/Limited Common Areas' of ~321 sqft on the floor — a possible paid-for unowned common area
MarketedSold as a full-floor residence
DocumentedThe Second Schedule separately lists 320.98 sqft of 'Appurtenant/Limited Common Areas on the floor of the Apartment' (~12% of carpet) — in a one-per-floor tower, the private foyer/lift-lobby zone. If it is priced into the Rs.35.08 Cr it is a Bucket-3 finding (exclusive-use common area the buyer would not legally own); if it is an unpriced Nautilus-style bonus it is a positive. One-apartment-per-floor keeps BMC-enforcement risk low either way. The 304 sqft balcony is a disclosed owned deck (Bucket-2), not an RCA finding.
About 321 sqft of 'limited common area on the floor' may be priced in — pending whether the buyer pays for space they won't own.

Five questions to ask before you commit
- What is the current status of suit 456/2016 and its 2018 injunction — and since the slum-rehabilitation (SRA) makes the scheme 'subject to the suit', what happens to my unit if the claimants win?
- Will my specific apartment be released from the Rs.125 Cr Piramal mortgage? Get a written no-lien/No-Objection Certificate for the unit; what is the charge's outstanding and release schedule? (RERA shows 'no encumbrance' — reconcile.)
- Everything on file dates to mid-2024 and RERA hasn't been updated in ~2 years — can you provide a current court status, a fresh charge search, and the latest commencement certificate (Commencement Certificate)/RCC level?
- What is the final top floor (the layout sheet shows ~20 floors / 15 apartments, the agreement's payments run to the 28th slab, RERA records 31) and when is full-height commencement certificate (Commencement Certificate) expected above F21?
- Is the 320.98 sqft 'Appurtenant/Limited Common Area on the floor' priced into my consideration, and what could a ~30-floor Aarey redevelopment do to the sea view?
