• The land is held on pension-and-tax tenure — a Bombay City quasi-freehold.
• There is no lease running down and therefore no renewal premium for a future society to find, which removes an exposure that costs several other properties in the Altamount-Cumballa set real money.

• The land itself belongs to Meridian Construction, which is not the developer.
• Magnum Landcon took the right to build in 2014 on a revenue share, and then in January 2024 took the sole and exclusive right to sell the apartments by a registered deed of conveyance.
• That 2024 deed is what the entire sale now rests on, and neither title opinion in the file covers it — both are dated July 2022, eighteen months earlier.

• The opinions themselves are compliance documents rather than investigations.
• The search behind them stops in 2021.
• The advocate records in his own words that he raised no requisition on title and relied instead on a declaration from the promoter's own partner that no third-party rights had been created.
• And his flow of title lists two notices of lis pendens registered against this land in 2015, out of a company petition brought against the landowner.
• Consent terms in 2017 and 2018 disposed of that petition — but nothing anywhere says the entries were cleared from the property record, and a search that stops in 2021 could not have reported it if they had been.

• Set against that, several things a buyer would worry about are closed.
• The long-standing confusion between 3,476 square metres in the 2002 deed and 3,119.31 in every official record is resolved on the face of the agreement, which names the Property Card as the operative figure.
• The finance is an ordinary registered mortgage to a scheduled commercial bank.
• There is no live litigation against the project.
• And the rehousing obligation that usually clouds a redevelopment title has been fully performed.

• Both buildings on this compound are finished and certified.
• The rehousing wing took its occupation certificate in December 2024.
• The sale tower took one in May 2026, covering the basement and ground-floor commercial areas, all nine parking decks, the service floor, the tenth-floor amenity level and the eleventh to thirty-fourth upper floors, on a fire clearance issued four days earlier.

• The rehousing was done first and done properly.
• Two hundred and thirty-eight tenants and shopkeepers from seven demolished chawls signed permanent alternate accommodation agreements, and vacant possession was taken before construction began.
• The possession disputes, un-vacated pockets and pending tenant claims that shadow almost every redevelopment in the Altamount-Cumballa set are simply not present here.

• The progress certificates agree with the certificates of occupation.
• The architect signs off every structural line complete and finishes at ninety-five per cent; the engineer records ninety-seven and a half per cent of the estimated cost incurred, with about four crore left to spend on a hundred and seventy crore project.

• What remains is small and administrative.
• The thirty-fifth floor of thirty-five is covered by neither the commencement certificate nor the occupation certificate.
• The last commencement certificate expired in June 2025 and no successor is on file.
• And Magnum Landcon has no other completed project in the Girgaon set, so there is no track record to read this delivery against.

• An occupation certificate that never reaches the regulator's page is common enough to be unremarkable.
• Promoters advertise completion and do not always file the certificate, and this one did exactly that — the website says construction is complete and it is telling the truth.
• Treat the absence as ordinary practice, not as evidence about the building.

The finding is what the portal does say. Four of its data fields are wrong at the same time, and not by rounding.

• Permissible built-up area is published as 25,300 square metres against a sanctioned statement of 17,446.91.
• Sanctioned built-up area is published as 20,869.33 against a proposed 19,257.48.
• Parking is published as 247 spaces, with every two-wheeler, four-wheeler, bus and visitor column reading zero, against a sanctioned table totalling 304.
• The number of rehousing units is declared as ZERO — against a twenty-two-storey rehousing building that holds fifty-six per cent of the sanctioned envelope and has held its own occupation certificate since December 2024.
• One building is listed where the approvals draw two and a separate parking tower.

• Two documents that ought to anchor the file are also missing from it: the amended approval of July 2024 that every later permission was granted against, and any entry at all in the commencement-certificate table.
• Both were eventually recovered from the annexures to a privately registered agreement, which is where a diligent buyer will have to go as well.

• None of this is individually fatal, and some of it is likely clerical.
• The practical consequence is narrower and worth stating plainly: the public file cannot be relied on as it stands, and anyone doing diligence here has to rebuild the approval record from private documents before any of the published figures mean anything.

• By the standards of the Altamount-Cumballa set the marketing is unusually close to the record.
• The parking claim — ramped podium parking across nine storeys — is exactly what the sanctioned plates draw, which almost never happens.
• The quoted carpet areas tie to the developer's own regulatory disclosure within a foot. 'Construction status: completed' is true and provable from the certificate.
• The double-height lobby and the twelve-foot lift lobby are both in the registered agreement and on the drawing.

• Two claims do not hold.
• The site sells a sea view without qualifying it by aspect or by floor, when three sides of the building are blocked at every floor by towers taller than its own roof and only the west is open.
• And drone captions reference a thirty-sixth floor, which does not exist: the approved plans stop at thirty-five and both certificates stop at thirty-four.

• The address is sold two ways.
• The body copy says Girgaon, correctly.
• The search-facing copy offers flats 'at marine lines' — a different locality on a different postcode from the registered address of Girgaum 400004.

Three material things go unmentioned anywhere in the marketing: the open-space deficiency the municipal approval charged a premium for and ordered disclosed to buyers, the two uncancelled registry entries against the land, and the fact that most of the compound by area is a rehousing building.

• The building's highest apartment stands at about 115 metres and its terrace at roughly 118.
• Three neighbours within a kilometre are taller than that: a tower to the south at around 280 metres, a fifty-storey cluster to the east at about 155, and a sixty-storey tower further east at about 186.
• When a neighbour is taller than your own roof, it blocks its slice of sky from every floor of your building.
• There is no clear-above-floor to buy your way to.
• The south and the east are closed from the ground up.

• All three are live construction rather than long-settled skyline.
• The eastern aspect is still partly open today only because one of those towers has about fifty of its sixty-odd floors standing.
• Beyond the three that can be named, there is substantial activity across the kilometre around this plot and further land parcels still to come forward.

• That leaves the west, and the west is the entire premium — a genuine ocean aspect held at distance across the Girgaum grid towards Marine Drive.
• It is also the least defended thing about this building.
• The tower does not front the sea.
• It borrows the view over three-to-five-storey chawl stock, and nothing protects that stock: the Development Plan snapshot records no reservation, there is no coastal strip and no heritage listing in the way.
• The entitlement that would close it is precisely the one Magnum Landcon used — the cessed-building regulation that turned seven low structures on this very plot into a thirty-five-floor tower.
• Every neighbouring plot has the same door open, and the neighbours to the south and east are already walking through it.

• One credit runs firmly the other way, and it is worth real money.
• Nine parking decks, a service floor and an amenity level sit below the first apartment, lifting the lowest home to about thirty-seven metres above the road.
• Girgaum's ordinary fabric is well below that.
• The low-floor view discount that applies almost everywhere else in the Altamount-Cumballa set does not apply here — the eleventh floor sees what the twenty-fifth sees, on the arcs that are open at all.

• About seventy-one per cent of what the apartment occupies is carpet you own — measured off a fully legible sanctioned plate rather than inferred from a brochure.
• The floor is a clean rectangle of roughly twenty-eight by thirty-one metres with the core in the middle.
• It yields four hundred and ninety-eight square metres of carpet across six apartments, against about seven hundred square metres of apartment envelope once the core is taken out.

• The plate does the sensible things.
• There is no butterfly circulation.
• Columns sit inside walls rather than standing in the middle of living rooms.
• Every kitchen is on an outer wall or against a proper ventilation shaft.
• The servants' toilet is kept off the plate at the core, so it does not eat into the flat.

• What costs it is density and the lobby.
• Six homes to a floor on the lower two-thirds of the building, served by a three-and-a-half-metre spine and two staircases, means a meaningful share of every floor is circulation that sits outside the carpet anyone pays for.
• The upper band is a different and better proposition — three large homes to a floor instead of six.

Read as an effective rate, the registered carpet price of about 32,700 rupees a square foot becomes roughly 46,100 against built-up area.

• The agreement adds seventeen and a quarter square metres of 'additional exclusive usable area' on top of the carpet, described only as arising from the building design.
• That phrasing is the shape of a grant a buyer pays for and does not own, and it is the pattern the Rexray set checks hardest.

• Aerial imagery of the finished tower settles it.
• On the top five floors the facade breaks its rhythm and a slab projects clear of the elevation on each one.
• Those are decks.
• The apartment in question sits inside that band, where the building runs three large homes to a floor rather than six.
• This is disclosed open space the buyer actually gets — a feature, not a deduction dressed as one — and no restricted-common-area finding arises.

• Two things keep it short of full marks.
• The deck is not separately priced: carpet, exclusive area and projection are folded into a single consideration figure, so nothing on the face of the agreement shows what the projection cost or what happens to that value on resale.

• And it exists only at the top.
• The sanctioned plate for floors eleven to nineteen draws no balcony at all — only shallow weather projections, corner service slabs and ducts.
• Whatever the same wording grants a lower-floor buyer is therefore something else, and that has not been established.
• It is a question for a lower-floor purchaser rather than for this band.

• The one registered transaction on record prices a high-floor apartment at about 32,700 rupees a square foot of carpet, in bare shell condition, with two covered podium parking spaces.
• Against a street band of sixty thousand and upwards for a high-floor sea-facing home here, that is a shade over half the market.

• It is also seven per cent above the government's own ready-reckoner valuation of the same flat.
• That is the tell.
• A price that lands just over the statutory floor, rather than anywhere near the asking market, is the shape of a large cash component — and on Rexray's reading roughly half the consideration on a home of this kind sits outside the instrument.

• The gap is not compensation for anything scored elsewhere in this report.
• Bare shell is worth perhaps ten to fifteen per cent on a home this size.
• One uncertified floor at the top, a lapsed commencement certificate and a conveyance tied to sell-out do not add up to forty-five per cent on a building that already holds its occupation certificate.
• A discount with a cause is evidence the market is working; this one does not have one.

• What the unrecorded half costs a buyer is not money — it is standing.
• It cannot be financed, so no lender will fund it.
• It is evidenced nowhere, so no warranty in the agreement reaches it and no remedy under the Act touches it.
• And on resale the next buyer either carries the same structure or pays the recorded price.
• For comparison, a materially better-branded project a few hundred metres south sells above ninety thousand a square foot.

• Two residential towers and a parking tower stand on a plot of 3,119 square metres in the middle of Girgaum.
• The sanctioned meter-room calculation works from three hundred and fifty-five tenements on the plot, against a hundred and twenty-two apartments in the registered sale project.

• The rehousing building is twenty-two floors and takes fifty-six per cent of the sanctioned envelope — more of this compound, by area, is rehousing than is for sale.
• Two hundred and thirty-eight households and shopkeepers from seven demolished chawls live in it, with shops running up several of its own floors.

• The mitigation is structural rather than cosmetic.
• Rehousing and sale occupy separate buildings with separate access gates drawn on the approved block plan, sharing only a common ground floor and basement.
• That is a materially better arrangement than the same-building configuration that costs other properties in the Altamount-Cumballa set, and it should not be scored as though it were the same thing.

What remains is plain density on a small central plot, and it is the price of the address.

Girgaum by 2032 will be denser and taller than Girgaum today, and the process is visibly under way rather than speculative.

• The plot itself is clean.
• The Development Plan snapshot of January 2021 places it in the residential zone with no reservation against it, which removes the municipal-facility, road-widening and public-amenity exposure that burdens several other properties in the Altamount-Cumballa set.

• The surroundings are another matter.
• This is chawl-scale cessed stock in the middle of a redevelopment wave, and this building is one of the wave's products.
• Three towers within a kilometre are under construction now, two of them well above this building's own roof, and further land parcels are expected to come forward.
• The street grid is narrow and will absorb the construction traffic first and the resident traffic afterwards.

None of this is a defect in the property. It is a direction, and the direction is one way.

• Sixteen minutes to the nearest coastal-road entry on a weekday late morning.
• The sea is near in metres and far in minutes, which is the Girgaum condition — but the more immediate constraint is closer than that.

• The sanctioned ground-floor plan marks a single opening, six metres wide, labelled for entry and exit together.
• That one gate serves the whole compound: about 360 households once the rehousing wing and the sale tower are both counted, together with 304 car spaces and twenty-five two-wheeler spaces.
• It gives onto Bandu Ghokhale Path — Cow Lane, historically — dimensioned at 12.20 metres, one of the bylanes running off Jagannath Shankar Sheth Road, the district's artery.

• The Corporation's own approval treats those lanes as sub-standard rather than merely narrow.
• The plot has surrendered 32.45 square metres to a road set-back; the compound wall had to be built clear of a road widening line; a separate property card has to be raised in the Corporation's name for the surrendered strip; carriage-entrance permission was required; and the access road had to be made up to its full width in water-bound macadam before construction could begin.
• That is the municipality recording, in five separate conditions, that the approach needs improving.

• And the load on it is rising.
• Three towers are under construction within a kilometre, two of them well above this building's own roof, with further parcels expected — construction traffic first onto the same grid, then the residents of everything being built.
• For scale, the best address in the Rexray set measures a single minute to the coastal road from Worli Sea Face.

Read off the sanctioned drawing rather than assumed, every kitchen on the floor has a confirmed path to outside air.

• The four kitchens flanking the central spine end on a nine-hundred-millimetre parapet onto open service area rather than a full-height wall, with a service slab and duct alongside.
• The middle pair open directly onto a ventilation shaft measuring three by five metres.

• Fifteen square metres of open shaft is a genuine air path, not the token light well that fails this test elsewhere.
• No kitchen on this plate is interior, and none depends on mechanical extraction to clear cooking smoke.

The core carries four lifts in the east bank at 2.70 by 2.10 metres — two passenger and two fire lifts, which residents use in the ordinary way — plus a further car on the west bank and a separate fireman's evacuation lift, all opening off a lobby three and a half metres wide.

• Twenty-five habitable floors are served at six apartments each, on a measured floor-to-floor of three and a quarter metres and a real height to the eightieth-percentile floor rather than the model's default assumption.
• Lift speed and capacity are not printed on the floor plan, so the calculation was run across the luxury band.

• On five effective cars the waiting grade is A to B, an interval of twenty-five to thirty-four seconds.
• On four, discounting the fire lifts entirely, it is a straight B at thirty-two to forty-two seconds.
• The conservative reading is what has been taken.

On a finished and occupied building this stops being a model. A buyer can stand in the lobby at half past eight on a weekday and count.

The municipal approval carries the standard water conditions rather than a shortfall: extra water and sewerage charges paid to the ward before construction, remarks obtained from the hydraulic engineer's department, a rain-water harvesting scheme designed to the state directive with a consultant's completion certificate, and separate clearances for the storm-water drain and the sewer connection.

The sanctioned section draws the plant in full — an on-site treatment train running bar screen, grease trap, equalisation, anoxic and aeration tanks, two settling tanks, a collection tank and a treated-water tank — with domestic and flushing tanks provided separately for the sale wing.

• What no sheet read states is the per-head water allocation or any shortfall against the number of connections applied for, so the actual headroom cannot be quantified.
• On an occupied building that is an easy question: ask the residents what the pressure is like on the upper floors in May.

• The test that decides parking is whether a resident can drive to their own space, and here the answer is yes.
• Both podium plates draw a six-metre oval ramp at a slope of one in twenty-six and a half, serving individually numbered self-park bays on every deck.

• The count runs eighteen bays on the second podium, thirty-three on each of the third to eighth, and fifty two-level stack bays on the ninth, with twenty-five two-wheeler spaces and a separate thirty-eight-bay mechanical tower alongside — three hundred and four spaces in all.
• The regulator's page reports two hundred and forty-seven with every vehicle-class column left blank.

• The mechanical tower is a supplement, not the primary access, and the retrieval model applies only to it, returning a comfortable grade.
• Modelled as though the entire three hundred and four bays were lift-served, the same calculation saturates completely — which is the plainest available measure of what that ramp is worth to daily life here.

• Two things weigh against it.
• Nine decks is a real climb and a single two-way ramp is not as good as two dedicated one-way ramps.
• And the contract side is weak: the bay is licensed at Magnum Landcon's discretion rather than deeded, allotment is deferred with none yet allotted, and no private-bay charging right was found in the agreement although the marketing promises charging stations.
• Nothing is parked on a habitable floor, which matters more than any of it.

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.

• The compound mixes two hundred and thirty-eight rehoused households and shopkeepers from seven demolished chawls with a hundred and twenty-two sale apartments.
• They occupy separate buildings with separate gates, but share a ground floor, a basement and the podium.

• That is what a buyer joins, and it is a genuine mix of economic and social circumstance rather than a nominal one.
• It is neither a fault nor a hidden fact — it is the deal that made this building possible, and it is disclosed in the approvals if not in the marketing.

• The sale tower is itself two products.
• Six homes to a floor at seventy-seven to ninety-six square metres up to the twenty-ninth, then three larger homes at a hundred to a hundred and eighty-six above it.
• That will produce two rather different constituencies inside one society, with different expectations of what the building should cost to run.

Society formation and the resident profile have not been fed from the field, so this is a considered placing rather than a measured one.
