Overall Score5.9/10as of 09/26
Marketed as a stand-alone Tardeo address; on the record it is the sale half of a two-wing cess redevelopment, its podium, parking and compound shared with a rehab wing — built 1.5 metres away — whose tenants come first.
Flags none
No single deal-breaker — the title is held and clear, homes sell within the sanctioned floor count, and there is no unownable carpet or confirmed enforcement. But enough weighs on it — lift-dependent parking, a rehab wing that comes first and that the sale occupation depends on, an unproven promoter company, and a governing plan set still off the file — that it earns a close look rather than a clean buy.
The five things that decide it
1Parking is lift-dependent — three car-lifts, no drivable ramp, reach the nine podium decks; a real daily-usability constraint on a 36-storey tower.
2You are buying the sale wing of a cess redevelopment: the podium, parking and compound are shared with an unregistered rehab wing 1.5 m away, whose 68 tenants rank ahead of you and whose completion your occupation depends on.
3The governing 2024 plan set is not in the file — the top eight sold floors are undrawn here, so the areas, level table and parking counts are provisional by one amendment.
4Value-priced for Tardeo — about Rs.35-41k a carpet foot where frontline luxury runs near Rs.1,00,000 — on a clear, marketable, no-charge title and honest marketing.
5A deep podium lifts every home ~36 m up: the north-west outlook over the golf course to a distant sea reads well from the premium homes, even though most other sides are contested.
Livability
5.8/10MixedPillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.
Compound Density6.0/10
A shared-podium cess scheme; the rehab wing comes first
- The sale tower shares three basements, nine podium parking decks, the car-lift system and the compound with a rehab wing built about 1.5 metres away, which rehouses the 68 existing chawl occupants whose entitlement ranks ahead of the sale buyers.
- Sale floor-space is under half the sanctioned envelope.
It is a separate wing, not shared floors — so buyers do not share the tower interior with the rehab community — but everything at podium level is shared.
Understand “Compound Density” on the X-Ray page ↗Neighbourhood5.5/10
Dense doorstep, but real open space within reach
- A dense inland Tardeo / Mumbai Central setting — a working railway station and mixed mid-rise at the doorstep, with the on-plot rehab community adding podium-level density.
- Offsetting it are genuine open spaces nearby: the Mahalaxmi racecourse, the Willingdon and NSCI grounds, Amarsons garden.
The static development-plan layer and the named upcoming-project pipeline are not yet read in, so this is provisional.
Understand “Neighbourhood” on the X-Ray page ↗Peak-Hour Connectivity5.0/10
~18 minutes to the coastal road; transit is the real access
- About eighteen minutes to the nearest coastal-road entry at late morning — moderate, and a little longer than the corridor's best.
- But this is an inland CBD-edge site whose defining access is transit: Mumbai Central station is effectively at the doorstep.
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
Kitchens vent outside — a pass
- Each home's kitchen is a discrete room on the outer face of the plate, next to a deck / utility space, so it reads as having an openable external window and a real exterior air path rather than recirculating into the flat.
- Confirm the window on the governing 2024 plate to seal it.
Understand “Kitchen Ventilation” on the X-Ray page ↗Lift Wait6.0/10
Comfortable lifts — a solid B
- Three lifts (a service/stretcher lift plus passenger cars) serve three homes a floor over about twenty-five residential floors, giving a lift-wait in the low-to-mid thirties of seconds across the luxury speed band — a solid B grade, with no crowding problem.
- The lift count is read off the superseded plate, so confirm it against the lift schedule.
Even at the busy morning peak the three-lift bank on a three-home plate holds a comfortable wait.
Understand “Lift Wait” on the X-Ray page ↗Water Adequacyqualitative
Water adequacy not yet checkable
- The municipal water / Hydraulic-Engineer tenement count that sizes water adequacy was not available — the current municipal approval is not in the file and the approvals annexed to the sale agreement were not supplied.
- Left unscored rather than guessed.
Understand “Water Adequacy” on the X-Ray page ↗Parking3.0/10
Lift-only parking — three car-lifts, no ramp
- You reach your bay by one of three car-lifts, not by driving a ramp — on a tight triangular plot the nine podium decks and three basements are served only by the lifts, with no drivable ramp between levels.
- That is lift-dependent parking, a real daily-usability constraint on a 36-storey tower, and it sits near the bottom of the ladder for that reason.
- Two things keep it off the floor: the three lifts clear the morning peak comfortably, so there is no long retrieval queue, and the bays exist at the right ratio.
- Working against it, the bay is a society-ratified licence rather than a deeded space and there is no private-bay EV-charging right — negotiate the deck level and confirm EV before committing.
What to ask the builder- Which podium deck and bay are allotted to this home, and is a private-bay EV charger permitted?
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 ↗Community6.0/10
Homogeneous mid-market, rehab community in a separate wing
- A homogeneous mid-market community rather than an ultra-luxury one — compact 2 and 3 BHK homes of about 70-101 sq m carpet, Tardeo SoBo.
- The rehoused chawl community sits in a separate wing, so sale buyers do not share the tower interior with it, though they share the podium and compound.
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?

HIGH
The GOVERNING sanctioned plan set (22.04.2024) is not in the file — floors 29-36 have no drawing (GAP 1)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe sanction in force per the FCC and the promoter's own Format-D is the amended plan dated 22.04.2024 (36 habitable floors, Commencement Certificate to 34). The newest plan sheets in the dump are the 30.10.2023 set, which draws only 11th-28th residential. floor area (FSI), floor count above the 28th, the level table, and the parking count are all read off a superseded sanction.
The drawings that govern the building being sold — including every sheet for the top eight sold floors — are missing; the figures here are one amendment behind.

Stardeous is the SALE wing of a two-wing 33(7) rehab scheme sharing its podium with an UNREGISTERED rehab wing
MarketedA stand-alone Spenta residence.
DocumentedWing A (sale) shares 3 basements + 9 podium parking decks + car-lift system + compound with Wing B (rehab), built only ~1.5 m away (Rexray field), which rehouses the 68 existing chawl occupants (per title) with senior entitlement and carries NO separate RERA registration. Sale floor area (FSI) (2,933.23) is under half the 5,889.59 sqm envelope. Wing B faces EAST.
You are buying into the sale wing of a cessed redevelopment; the podium and compound are shared with an unregistered rehab wing (68 tenants) built ~1.5 m away, whose tenants come first.

Encumbrance clearance rests on a 3-year-old, mis-keyed CERSAI search and self-declarations; a finance-disclosure upload was not fetched
Marketed'Financial Encumbrance: No'
DocumentedThe 2023 title report's ROC search found no charge and certified the title free from encumbrances (as of 03.2023). STILL OPEN is the CURRENT position: the only charge search predating the drawdown, a portal 'Disclosure of Secured/Unsecured Finance availed' upload (22.05.2025, filename null, not fetched), and Rs.30.88 cr drawn with no construction finance recorded.
Historic title is clean and no ROC charge is registered (2023); the open thread is the current finance position — fetch the 22.05.2025 disclosure and run a fresh charge search before relying on it.

MEDIUM
Parking is lift-dependent (3 car lifts, no ramp) to podium decks; bays society-licensed, no private-bay EV
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe 9 podium parking decks + 3 basements are reached ONLY by 3 car lifts (no inter-deck vehicular ramp — confirmed on the rendered plan and by Rexray field); this is lift-dependent tier-E access, not self-park. Bays are society-ratified/licensed (the agreement cl. 4.1/4.2), not deeded, and no private-bay EV-charger right is granted. Two bays for the 3 BHK (ratio met).
Parking is lift-dependent — every car reaches its podium deck via one of 3 car lifts with no ramp alternative, a real daily-usability constraint on a 36-storey tower; bays are licensed not deeded, and there is no private-bay EV charging.

MEDIUM
Advance no-objection to further development + deferred conveyance with retained residual rights
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe buyer pre-consents to the developer's further/phase-wise development of Wing A and Wing B on the compound (C08a), and conveyance/perpetual-lease of the said Property to the society/apex body is deferred, with the developer retaining absolute rights over unsold/residual floor area (FSI) and common areas in the interim (C09).
Standard adhesion terms: the buyer waives objection to further building on the compound day one, and land conveyance to the society is deferred while the developer keeps control of the residual.

MEDIUM
Sale wing's OC may be gated on the rehab wing (Wing B) — read the possession clause
Marketedn/a
DocumentedRexray field: Wing A (sale) and Wing B (rehab) are being built together with only a ~1.5 m gap between them, so the sale wing's occupation is effectively tied to completing the rehab component — the standard 33(7) linkage, here confirmed on the ground rather than left to the possession clause.
Confirmed: the sale and rehab wings are built together (~1.5 m apart), so the buyer's OC is effectively linked to the rehab wing finishing — a real 33(7) delivery dependency.

LOW-MED
Portal data disagrees with the drawings on parking, coordinates and the sanction generation
Marketedn/a
DocumentedPortal parking = 132 all-covered, 0 two-wheeler; the plan provides 126 cars (65 big + 61 small) + 50 two-wheelers, and 132 is the 'permissible incl. 50% additional' figure. Portal lat/long lands in the Arabian Sea (FINDING 8). The portal's newest plans are the superseded 30.10.2023 set, not the governing 22.04.2024 sanction (C07).
The portal understates parking detail, mis-states the coordinates, and hosts a superseded plan generation — reconcile to the drawings, and treat the staleness itself as buyer-relevant.

LOW-MED
Brand != promoter: an established developer's name (Spenta) over a single-project SPV (Heston) with no track record
Marketed'Spenta Stardeous'.
DocumentedThe promoter of record and Commencement Certificate applicant is Heston Builders Pvt Ltd, a 2018 SPV whose two directors declare no other RERA-registered project. Spenta Corporation is the operating developer/brand and the Commencement Certificate correspondence address, but not the RERA counterparty. Spenta's own delivery record is the relevant track record and is not on the RERA file.
The building is marketed under Spenta's established name but the on-paper developer is a track-record-less SPV; the delivery read should rest on Spenta, the counterparty on Heston.

Amendment-heavy, slow-moving sanction: five plan amendments and a five-year application-to-Commencement Certificate gap; envelope grew 28 -> 36 floors
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe sanction kept moving: application 2018, first Commencement Certificate 2023, then amended plans 30.10.2023 and 22.04.2024, with the habitable envelope growing from 28 to 36 floors.
A sanction that took five years to first Commencement Certificate and kept being amended upward — context for delivery, and the reason the governing plan set is a moving target.

LOW-MED
The the building approval (10.03.2023) is not in the file — its conditions (WAF/HE-No-Objection Certificate, environmental) are unseen (GAP 3)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedOnly the 3rd amendment approval is in the dump; the underlying the building approval is referenced but absent. Its water/HE-No-Objection Certificate counts (WAF) and any C12 environmental conditions are unseen.
The base municipal approval is missing, so water-adequacy and any buried environmental conditions can't be checked.

The registered instrument is a RESALE deed, not a builder the agreement — two price points, ~18% over 2.5 years
Marketedn/a
DocumentedA reference 3 BHK home (~101 sqm carpet) was first sold by the developer for about Rs.3.78 cr and resold arm's-length about two-and-a-half years later for about Rs.4.46 cr — a ~17-18% rise. The developer joins the resale only as a confirming party, so its warranties are about the home, not the land.
The only registered instrument on file is a resale, which gives a developer first-sale price and a secondary-market price ~17-18% higher two-and-a-half years on — useful for pricing, though it does not by itself resolve project-level title.

LOW
Commencement Certificate validity has just lapsed (revalidation ran to 29.08.2026) with no successor in the file
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe latest revalidation in the dump runs only to 29.08.2026; as of the 2026-09-04 data date it has lapsed, and no later revalidation is in the file. The developer revalidates annually around late August, so a 2026 renewal is likely being processed — but it is not evidenced.
The commencement certificate's stamped validity has just lapsed; a fresh annual revalidation is expected (the developer renews each August) and it is treated as routine, not a concern.

Twelve Wing-A SALE units are committed as 'Barter' (area-share to landowner/contractor) — a disclosure label, not a buyer-facing encumbrance
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe inventory disclosure (as-on 31.03.2025, signed 13.09.2025) marks 12 of 64 units 'Barter': Barter 1 = 2002, 2203, 2402, 2701, 2801, 2802 (6); Barter 2 = 3001, 3002, 3003 (whole 30th floor), 3201, 3202, 3603 (36th/top) (6). ALL are Wing-A SALE-tower flats (floors 20-36, standard 70.00/101.35/77.12 sqm plate) — NOT rehab/MHADA units (those sit in the unregistered Wing B). 'Barter' is not a MahaRERA disposition category and the portal's landowner/investor-share columns read 0. Origin (Rexray reading): on a 33(7) scheme the developer typically pays the outgoing landowner and/or the contractor/financier in KIND (finished sale flats = area-share). The land came to Heston from Mazda Realty by conveyance (30.12.2022) at a stated consideration ~Rs.5.51 cr against Market Value Rs.41.83 cr — a large cash-vs-MV gap that points to part of the landowner's consideration being paid in flats; the two labels (Barter 1 / Barter 2) most likely denote two counterparties (e.g. the erstwhile landowner Mazda, and a contractor/financier — consistent with Rs.30.88 cr drawn and no recorded construction loan).
Twelve sale-tower homes are committed to a landowner/contractor as area-share ('barter'), booked outside the portal's landowner-share column. This is a disclosure quirk, not a charge - it does not touch any other home in the building or create an encumbrance; it only means those twelve are already spoken for. Treat as a buyer question, not a risk.

Unit carpets were revised by the 22.04.2024 amendment (inventory carpets moved between disclosures)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe 22.04.2024 amendment revised the per-unit carpet areas; the two inventory disclosures and the resale deed's supplementary-agreement recital corroborate it.
The carpet areas changed under the governing amendment — buyers on the earlier plan got a supplementary agreement; confirm your unit's area against the 22.04.2024 sanction.

POSITIVE
Title report supplied and CLEAR — freehold devolution intact, free from encumbrances (GAP 2 CLOSED)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedA clean K Ashar & Co Legal Title Report (31.03.2023) was supplied. Title is clear & marketable and free from encumbrances: registered Wakf(1926)->Tricumji->Divecha->Mazda Realty->Heston Builders (conveyance 30.12.2022) chain, 74-yr search + Public Notice (20.10.2021) with no claims, and an ROC search finding no charge. 68 chawl tenants carry a senior 33(7) rehab entitlement.
The title was re-fetched clean: a clear, marketable freehold with an intact registered devolution and no ROC charge — the earlier corruption was a download bug, now resolved.

Deep podium lifts the first home ~36 m — removes the low-floor view discount for the whole tower
Marketedn/a
Documented3 basements + ground (double-height) + 9 podium parking decks + a service floor sit below the first apartment, putting the lowest home ~36 m above the road. Any surrounding building under ~10-11 storeys is a View non-event for every home.
The tall parking podium is also a view asset — every home starts high enough to clear the low-rise Tardeo stock; the trade-off is a 12-level parking climb (scored in parking).
