Simana - Wing A, Phase 1 (Bhoomi Properties), C.S. 126, Parel, Mumbai 400033
Overall Score6.1/10as of 2026-09-02
A freehold Parel mill-land tower, delivered and fully occupation-certified, that lives up to its ready-to-move sell - with a Rs 50 crore project charge to get released and a third estate tower rising against Wing B's east.
Flags- Get Kotak's written per-flat NOC releasing your flat from the Rs 50 crore project mortgage before you pay - the RERA portal wrongly shows no charge.
The five things that decide it
1Get Kotak's per-flat No-Objection Certificate releasing your flat from the Rs 50 crore project mortgage before you pay; the RERA portal wrongly shows no charge.
2The always-planned third tower is now sanctioned hard against Wing B's east, closing the eastern harbour view the brochure sold.
3The only working way in is the narrow, festival-choked Ganesh Nagar Lane; the wider G.D. Ambekar Marg gate stays shut until the third tower reaches podium level, and is itself on a congested road.
4Unusually for a large redevelopment, the MHADA rehab share sits on its own separate plot, so the sale towers keep genuinely open space between them - no rehab block against a home.
5Delivered and fully occupation-certified (occupied, GST-free), freehold with fully-consumed floor area (FSI) and no rehab, a deep-podium view open south and high-west, and 12 minutes to the Atal Setu.
Fundamentals
6.0/10FairPillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.
Clear Title5.5/10
Freehold and cleanly agreed, but charged, and not yet the society's to own
- The land is freehold former mill land, and the deal behind it is clean: the 'JV' documents turn out to be the single registered 2007 development agreement, a fixed Rs 26 crore payment to the landowner rather than a revenue share, so the owner has no continuing claim on sale proceeds and the developer holds the entire development right.
- The title opinion from a top-tier firm reads clear and marketable, and there is no rehab or tenant obligation on the plot.
- Three things hold it to the middle.
- A live Rs 50 crore Kotak mortgage sits over the land and every unsold flat, so each sale needs a lender release the public register does not mention.
- Legal ownership still rests with the landowner, and the agreement defers conveyance to the society until the last building on the plot - Wings B and C and a further Phase-II parcel - is finished.
- And a decades-old registered deed in the chain could not be examined.
Understand “Clear Title” on the X-Ray page ↗Delivery7.0/10
Delivered and fully occupation-certified - ready, occupied, GST-free
- There is no delivery question left to answer.
- A part occupation certificate of August 2025 was followed by a full OC around April 2026, both towers are built out and have been occupied for roughly a year, and the homes are ready and GST-free - a finished building a buyer can inspect in full.
- What holds the score just short of the top is the developer rather than the building: Bhoomi is new to this tier with an unproven track record, and the estate is still growing a third tower.
- Neither is a doubt about what already stands.
Understand “Delivery” on the X-Ray page ↗Developer Compliance6.0/10
Legible filings and a real part-OC, behind a portal that has gone stale
- The filings themselves are well-kept and easy to read, and the tower genuinely holds a part occupation certificate - so the headline issue is a stale record, not a stalled project.
- The portal still shows the project lapsed and carries a suo-moto complaint marked 'order approved' (its content is not in the file, so we do not characterise it), and it is separately wrong on floor count, encumbrance, coordinates and parking.
- The approved drawings and the occupation certificate are the things to rely on, not the portal.
Understand “Developer Compliance” on the X-Ray page ↗Brochure-vs-Reality5.5/10
The OC and no-GST claim holds; the charge and the tower next door go unmentioned
- To the marketing's credit, its 'OC received, no GST, move-in ready' line is true - a part occupation certificate backs it - and the sanctioned floor count is honestly represented.
- What the sell leaves out is what matters: the Rs 50 crore mortgage, and above all a third tower now rising inside the compound east of Wing B that appears in neither the brochure nor the layout buyers were shown.
- The open-east imagery is contradicted by that sister tower, and the agreement disclaims its own brochure.

Livability
6.2/10FairPillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.
Compound Density5.5/10
Relatively open for its size - the rehab share was kept off the compound
- This is a denser point in its favour than most large redevelopments manage.
- The MHADA rehab share owed under the mill-land rules was taken as a SEPARATE, cordoned-off plot to the west rather than as rehab towers wedged inside the compound - so the sale towers keep genuinely open, landscaped space between them and no rehab block sits hard against a home, which is the opposite of the typical SRA-dense pattern.
- The qualifier is that the sale cluster itself is filling in: Wings A and B, and now the added Wing C, all on one podium.
- Net, it reads as relatively open for its size rather than low-density.
Understand “Compound Density” on the X-Ray page ↗Neighbourhood4.5/10
Redeveloping mill district - and a real way in that clogs every festival season
- The setting is the Parel/Lalbaug mill belt mid-transformation, with a wide arterial and the Eastern Express Highway alongside and an MCGM recreation ground to the west.
- But the tower's actual primary approach is Ganesh Nagar Lane - a narrow, congested lane, not the arterial the address advertises - and it gridlocks for weeks each year during the Lalbaug Ganesh festival, when crowds and road restrictions for Lalbaugcha Raja take over the pocket.
- Convenient on a map, tighter and more seasonal on the ground.
Understand “Neighbourhood” on the X-Ray page ↗Peak-Hour Connectivity6.0/10
Twelve minutes to the Atal Setu - the east is the fast side
- The harbour side is where this location pays off: about 12 minutes to the Atal Setu (the Trans-Harbour Link) entry, against a slower ~30 minutes to the western Worli coastal road.
- For anyone using the new eastern sea link and freeway, this is a strong access position.
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.
Understand “Peak-Hour Connectivity” on the X-Ray page ↗Kitchen Ventilation9.0/10
Clean exterior kitchen air path on every home
Every kitchen opens to an external utility or dry balcony with a duct on the outer envelope - a proper exterior air path, with no interior or recirculation-only kitchen anywhere on the plate.
Understand “Kitchen Ventilation” on the X-Ray page ↗Lift Wait7.5/10
Comfortably lifted - Grade A-to-B on four cars
- Four passenger lifts on the central core serve six homes a floor over 43 storeys, returning a lift-wait of Grade A-to-B right across the luxury speed band.
- Well provisioned for the density.
Understand “Lift Wait” on the X-Ray page ↗Water Adequacy5.0/10
One open question: was the new tower ever in the water approvals?
- Water adequacy is neutral but carries a live flag.
- The newly-added third tower has its own sewage plant, which is something - but whether the plot's original water and drainage sanction was ever sized for the extra tower has not been confirmed, and on a topped-out estate that is a checkable, negotiable question.
Understand “Water Adequacy” on the X-Ray page ↗Parking7.0/10
Drive to your own covered bay - a proper self-park podium
- You drive to your own covered bay across five podium levels on climbing ramps, with no car lift, no mechanical stacker and no bay pressed against a habitable room; provision meets the requirement including visitors.
- The only thing holding it back from the top is that bays are licensed and developer-allotted near completion rather than deeded to the flat - worth pushing for a low level near the core.
Understand “Parking” on the X-Ray page ↗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- 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?
Understand “Build Planning & Quality” on the X-Ray page ↗Community5.0/10
Ordinary mid-luxury owner/investor mix, new-tier developer
A two- and three-bedroom building of roughly Rs 4.5 crore homes, six to a floor, with no rehab mix - an ordinary owner-occupier and investor community, under a developer new to this price tier.
What to ask the builder- 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?

Findings register
16 findings · severity-ranked
Every marketed claim set against the documented fact, sourced. Critical and high first.
HIGH
A live Rs 50 crore Kotak project mortgage sits over the land and unsold flats - recorded everywhere except the RERA portal
Marketed[REG] The MahaRERA portal declares 'Financial Encumbrance: No'.
Documented[SEC/REG] A registered mortgage of 30/09/2021 (BBE-2-11360/2021) charges the land + 529 unsold Wing A/B flats + development rights to Kotak Mahindra Investments Ltd for Rs 50 Cr. It is on the Sub-Registrar's record, on CERSAI, and disclosed in the agreement (Recital X) - only the MahaRERA portal omits it. The title opinion makes a Kotak No-Objection Certificate a condition of any sale.
MEDIUM
The land is owned by Byramjee Jeejeebhoy, not the developer, and has never been conveyed to it
Marketed[MKT] Marketed as a Bhoomi Properties project.
Documented[SEC] Legal ownership of that land parcel vests in Byramjee Jeejeebhoy (Pvt.) Ltd; Bhoomi Properties holds only DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS via a 2007 Development Agreement + irrevocable PoA (monetary consideration, not a revenue-share, despite the portal's 'Revenue Share' tag). No conveyance to the developer; the PR Card still shows the old company name; the Commencement Certificate is addressed to the landowner (condition 4: 'does not entitle you to develop land which does not vest in you'). [REG] The registered 2007 DA is a FIXED Rs 26.02 Cr monetary deal (not revenue-share, resolving the portal tag), so BJ has NO ongoing economic share or lien - but legal ownership still sits with BJ pending conveyance to the society/developer-nominee (DA cl.38).
MEDIUM
Almost the entire price falls due on a fixed calendar date with no link to construction, into a project that then lapsed
Marketed[MKT] A staged, milestone-style purchase is implied.
Documented[REG] The payment schedule is CALENDAR-driven: ~19.7% at booking, the balance to ~99% by a fixed 17/01/2026 date, and only ~1% at OC/Commencement Certificate - no slab or floor milestone. The reference the agreement shows ~99% already collected into the Kotak escrow, and the registration is now Lapsed (C33).
MEDIUM
The agreement carries the full set of builder-tilted clauses - pre-consent, due-diligence waiver, forfeiture asymmetry, brochure disclaimer and promoter-set maintenance
Marketed[MKT] The brochure's amenities and layout are presented as the deal.
Documented[REG] All five C08 limbs fire: irrevocable advance consent to future development/extra wings/floor area (FSI) (Recital xxix, cl.4.2.6/4.4/8.37/8.38); a title-investigation waiver (Recital Q, cl.4.1); a forfeiture asymmetry (buyer default forfeits earnest money + up to 10% admin + brokerage + resale shortfall, no interest, over 12 months, vs the promoter's MCLR+2% on delay); a brochure disclaimer (Recital ix/x); and promoter-set maintenance (Eighth/Ninth Schedules).
MEDIUM
The MahaRERA portal is wrong on floors, encumbrance, coordinates and parking all at once
Marketed[REG] The portal record is presented as the authoritative filing.
Documented[REG/GOV] Portal 'Sanctioned Floors 52 / Commencement Certificate up-to 52' for Wing A vs the Commencement Certificate's actual 43rd floor + LMR (the 52 is the total-levels count mislabelled - C31); 'Financial Encumbrance: No' vs the Kotak mortgage; Latitude/Longitude 0/0; the 'Parking Details' table all zeros; landowner tagged 'Revenue Share' vs the title report's monetary DA (C07). [REG] The 'Revenue Share' landowner tag is now confirmed WRONG - the registered DA is a fixed monetary consideration.
MEDIUM
This is one of three registered towers plus a future parcel on the same plot, and the buyer pre-consents to all of it
Marketed[MKT] Marketing foregrounds the single Wing A tower.
Documented[REG/GOV] The plot carries Wing A (this leaf, 43 floors/237 units), Wing B (P51900033361, 53 floors/292 units) on the same Phase-I podium, Wing C (PR1170002500564), and a Phase-II undivided-land building - a Whole Project of up to ~1,50,000 sqm floor area (FSI) (C24/C54). Conveyance, the apex body and residual floor area (FSI) all reach across every wing, and the buyer gives advance consent to the future development (C08a).
MEDIUM
Wing A's east is walled at every floor by the taller Wing B; the other aspects are largely open
Marketed[MKT] Open-view / 'Urban Oasis' imagery.
Documented[REXRAY-FIELD] Rexray field read for Wing A: EAST walled at every floor by the taller on-plot Wing B (C15); WEST into MHADA to ~F25 then open to Gundecha Gardens / Minerva-Prestige; NORTH relatively good with a NE harbour glimpse minus Lodha Venezia; SOUTH the best, clear to Piramal Aranya far. The +18.5 m podium clears the low-rise near field (C48).
MEDIUM
The third, always-planned tower is now sanctioned hard against Wing B's east, closing the harbour view the brochure sold
Marketed[MKT] The brochure names 'three towers' and a 'future development', and sells 'the incomparable eastern harbour view' - but its site plan draws the eastern parcel as green open space, not a tower, and the renders foreground the two twin towers.
Documented[REG/REXRAY-FIELD] The estate was always a three-tower scheme: the brochure names three towers and future development, and the sanctioned block plan marks a Phase-II proposed building on the eastern parcel. What has changed is that the third tower (Wing C / Building No.2, PR1170002500564) has now been sanctioned under a DCPR-2034 layout revision as a full tower - its own basement, sewage treatment plant, podium and RG - immediately EAST of Wing B, at a scale the podium footprint suggests will exceed Wing A/B. The parcel a buyer saw as green open space is becoming a tower against Wing B's east.
MEDIUM
The added third tower's water and sewage load may sit outside the plot's original approvals
Marketed[MKT] A complete, serviced residential estate.
Documented[REXRAY-FIELD/GOV] Rexray field flag: confirm whether Building No.2 / Wing C was accounted for in the ORIGINAL the building approval water/drainage allocation for that land parcel. Building No.2 carries its OWN sewage-treatment plant on its 2nd-basement plan (some separate provision), but the shared potable-water / hydraulic-engineer No-Objection Certificate count against the now-larger tenement total (Wing A 237 + Wing B ~292 + the added Wing C) has not been verified.
MEDIUM
The only working entrance is a narrow lane that gridlocks for weeks during the Lalbaug Ganesh festival
Marketed[MKT] A well-connected Parel/Lalbaug address on a wide arterial, minutes from the highway.
Documented[REXRAY-FIELD] The main (and currently only operational) approach is Ganesh Nagar Lane, a narrow, congested lane; during the annual Lalbaug Ganesh (Ganeshotsav) festival the footpaths outside are boarded over with queue sheds and the pocket gridlocks for weeks (the project hoarding itself was obscured by the festival arrangements on a recent pass). The sanctioned second vehicular gate on G.D. Ambekar Marg is NOT yet open - it is expected to open only once the third tower (Wing C) is built to at least podium level, perhaps a year away - and G.D. Ambekar Marg is itself a congested road. The plan's other frontages (Dinshaw Petit Lane, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marg, the fire gate) do not change the everyday single-lane reality.
LOW-MED
Conveyance is deferred to the last wing - standard, but it keeps the plot's future development in the developer's hands
Marketed[MKT] A completed, self-governed residential address.
Documented[REG] The Wing-A society is conveyed only the STRUCTURE of Wing A within 18 months of its OC; land/common-area title (the apex body) waits until the OC of the LAST tower/wing on the plot (Wings B, C, further wings, Phase-II). Deferring conveyance to the end of a phased scheme is normal, and a ready wing can still form its society and self-manage without it; Maharashtra deemed conveyance is a statutory backstop if the developer stalls.
LOW-MED
A thirteen-year approval crawl on mill land - now a part-OC'd, near-complete building
Marketed[MKT] Near-ready / new-launch framing.
Documented[SEC/GOV] The commencement certificate was first issued in 2010 and the certified extent crept 2019 (4th floor) -> 2021 (21st) -> 2022 (36th) -> 2023 (43rd + LMR); the title report records only the 6th floor built by November 2021. Former cotton-mill land redeveloped under Reg-58 (C44). [REG] The structure is now 100% complete with a part occupation certificate (28/08/2025) for the habitable floors; the long delay resolved into a finished building, not a stalled shell (C26).
LOW
The portal still shows the project 'lapsed' - a non-renewal on a completed, occupation-certified building
Marketed[MKT] Marketing presents an actively selling Parel tower ('The Urban Oasis' / 'Purnata', new-launch campaigns).
Documented[REG/SEC] The MahaRERA portal records the project as LAPSED and shows a suo-moto complaint SM12400013 as 'Order Approved' (its content is not in the file). The project has since received a full occupation certificate (~April 2026) and is occupied, so the lapse is non-renewal on a completed project rather than a sign of trouble; it still needs regularising.
POSITIVE
A deep podium lifts every home about 18 metres over the low-rise mill-district grid
Marketed[MKT] 'The Urban Oasis'.
Documented[GOV] The first apartment sits at +18.50 m above road, over a basement + stilt + three podium parking decks + an amenity E-deck + a service floor. The surrounding Parel/Lalbaug stock (chawls, institutional low-rise, mill remnants) and the MCGM recreational ground to the west are largely below that line.
POSITIVE
The sanctioned floor area (FSI) is fully consumed with no Transfer of Development Rights, so the Wing A envelope is not riding on an approval that has not landed
Marketed[MKT] n/a.
Documented[GOV] Proforma-A reconciles: proposed BUA 42,393.27 <= permissible 42,400.63 (99.98%), Transfer of Development Rights 0; the Wing A/B envelope is sanctioned and consumed. Upside headroom to the printed max 75,837.42 is premium-on-payment grade, and the larger portal permissible (whole scheme incl. Phase-II) is the future-scheme part (C54).
POSITIVE
Delivered and fully occupation-certified - a ready, occupied building, GST-free
Marketed[MKT] The developer's website states 'OC received - immediate move-in, no GST'.
Documented[REG/SEC] A part OC of 28/08/2025 (podium + floors 1-43) was followed by a FULL occupation certificate in about April 2026; both towers are built out and have been occupied for roughly a year. The structure and finishing are complete.
