Overall Score5.5/10as of 09/26

Rustomjee-branded, sold as premium Bandra-East living, but on the record a very dense three-wing society redevelopment on MHADA-leased land - the homes are large and well-built, yet they look into their neighbours and the ground is on the clock.

Flags none

A Mixed read. The fundamentals are sound - the whole building is approved, the marketed floors match the sanction, and the builder is a real listed group - but the ground is MHADA leasehold on three clocks with an unsigned pre-occupancy lease and a finance-disclosure gap to close, the outlook is walled on every side but east/north-east, and the plot is very dense with rehab mixed into Wing A. Nothing here is a walk-away; several things are worth verifying before committing.

The five things that decide it
1The homes themselves are large and well-built - about 111-115 sqm in the main wings, with decks, a clean kitchen air path and comfortable self-park.
2Not a view project - ringed by co-height and taller towers (Agami clips the NE); only the east aspect is open, and only those units carry a premium.
3Very dense - 82 homes in three slim 26-27-storey wings on a 1,872 sqm plot, with 16 rehoused society families sharing Wing A and no on-plot open space.
4MHADA leasehold on three clocks - one share expires around 2036, a pre-occupancy supplementary lease is still unsigned, and a renewal premium will fall on the future society.
5The developer's own filing says 'no loan' while a Rs.75 crore charge sits registered against the land - a disclosure gap to clear, though the title opinion is clean.

Fundamentals

5.6/10Mixed

Pillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.

Clear Title5.0/10
A clean opinion on MHADA-leased ground - with three lease clocks and an unsigned supplementary lease
  • All of the land is MHADA leasehold.
  • The main society (Vivekanand) holds a 90/99-year lease running from 1981, so its primary term is long; but the second society's share (Sagar Darshan) is a 30-year lease expiring around 2036, and a supplementary lease over about 843 sqm has to be executed in the consolidated society's favour before an occupancy certificate can be sought - and it has not been signed yet.
  • The advocate's report is a clean, marketable-title opinion, with a 30-year search and public notices returning no adverse claims, and no pending litigation on the society, the developer or the land.
  • The one blemish sits in the encumbrance record, not the opinion - see below.
The developer holds the land as constituted attorney to the two societies under registered redevelopment agreements (2022 and 2024); the societies remain the lessees.
What to ask the builder
  • Is the pre-OC supplementary lease resolved in the agreement annexures, and by when must it be executed?
Understand “Clear Title” on the X-Ray page ↗
Delivery6.5/10
Fully sanctioned and built by an established group - early, but not a certainty risk
  • The whole three-wing envelope is sanctioned, and the marketed floors match the sanction - there is no selling of unapproved floors.
  • The commencement certificate is re-endorsed floor by floor as the tower rises, which is normal; the copy in the file is to plinth, and the build is early (basements complete, podiums about half).
  • The builder is Rustomjee (Keystone Realtors, a listed group), which is a real delivery covenant rather than a first-time SPV.
  • The open items are the pre-occupancy supplementary lease, the routine MHADA and civil-aviation clearances, and the group's own on-time record, which is worth checking.
What to ask the builder
  • What is the current beyond-plinth certificate extent, and the committed possession date?
Understand “Delivery” on the X-Ray page ↗
Developer Compliance5.0/10
Small compliance blemishes, none of them fatal
  • The project page prints the sanctioned floor count in its 'certificate issued up-to' field, which reads as if the tower is certified higher than it is; the actual certificate in the file is only to plinth.
  • A MahaRERA order also sits behind a 'no litigation' answer - most likely a marketing-representation matter with a small (~Rs.25,000) fine.

The sharper item is the finance disclosure: the developer's own filing declares no borrowing while a Rs.75 crore charge is registered against the land, and that 'no-finance' filing was re-submitted unchanged seven months after the charge appeared.

What to ask the builder
  • Can the developer confirm the MahaRERA order was the minor marketing matter and nothing wider?
Understand “Developer Compliance” on the X-Ray page ↗
Brochure-vs-Reality6.0/10
Brand and builder line up; no scheme overstatement found
  • Marketed as Rustomjee and sold by Rustomjee's own subsidiary - the brand matches the builder.
  • The marketed locality matches the record, and nothing in the drawings or the sale schedule shows a floor-count or scheme overstatement.
  • A full marketing-versus-findings comparison is a closing step.

Value

5.4/10Mixed

Pillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.

View3.0/10
Not a view home - only the east aspect is open
  • The tower is boxed in by its neighbours.
  • Raymond Invictus and Rustomjee Seasons stand at the same height a few dozen metres away; Agami Artclave, also its own height, sits about fifty metres off the north-east corner; Kalpataru Magnus and Wadhwa Artek Park are taller.
  • So the only genuinely open aspect is east, over the lower colony toward BKC - and the three wings also face one another across a tight plot.
  • The practical read: only the east-facing units (and mainly the upper ones) have a real outlook and should carry a view premium.
  • Everything else is an internal or over-the-neighbour aspect, and the price reflects that.
Today: Only east open; the rest walled by adjacent co-height and taller towers (Agami clips the NE).By 2032: The colony keeps redeveloping to towers - the open east slice is the durable one.
Rustomjee Prive — the plot and what surrounds it
Rexray View Map: Rustomjee Prive and its surrounding development
What to ask the builder
  • Which specific units hold the east aspect, and what is the premium asked for them?
Understand “View” on the X-Ray page ↗
Layout & Living5.5/10
Middling efficiency (~74%), but large homes with decks
  • Layout efficiency lands around 74% - three slim wings turning off one central core cost some circulation.
  • Against that, the homes are large (about 111-115 sqm in the main wings) with usable decks off the living rooms, so the space that is there is liveable.
What to ask the builder
  • The west-face glass specification — brand, glazing thickness, and the heat-trapping (SHGC / U-value) number.
Understand “Layout & Living” on the X-Ray page ↗
Non-RERA Area7.0/10
No 'exclusive-use' foyer trick; decks are disclosed area you buy
  • Two to three homes share an ordinary common lift lobby on each floor - not a private, enclosed foyer billed to the buyer as carpet, which is the pattern to watch on multi-flat floors.
  • The dry-balcony decks are disclosed open area you actually own.
  • Worth a final check of carpet-versus-total once a clean copy of the agreement is read.
Understand “Non-RERA Area” on the X-Ray page ↗
Pricing6.0/10
A fair, view-discounted number - roughly Rs.42-47k/sqft carpet
  • The registered price works out to about Rs.42,000-47,000 a square foot on carpet, below the ~Rs.55,000-60,000 that ready, view-blessed neighbours (Ten BKC, Rustomjee Seasons, Kalpataru Sparkle) command.
  • That discount maps onto the view compromise, which is scored on its own line, rather than signalling hidden trouble.

The seller is a corporate group, so an all-cheque deal is expected and the registered value is close to the real price. The immediate neighbour, Raymond Invictus, registers on the same footing.

What to ask the builder
  • 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?
  • What have recent apartments in this building / micro-market actually registered at?
Understand “Pricing” on the X-Ray page ↗

Livability

5.3/10Mixed

Pillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.

Compound Density4.0/10
Very dense, and Wing A mixes rehab with sale
  • Eighty-two homes sit in three slim 26-27-storey wings on a 1,872 sqm plot - a floor-space index around 5 - sharing one podium and amenity deck, with no recreation ground on the plot.
  • Wing A rehouses 16 existing society families in the same building as its sale homes, so buyers there share their building, not just their compound, with the rehoused members.

Wings B and C are cleaner sale wings (plus a few landowner-share homes). The whole thing is a tight, high-occupancy compound.

Understand “Compound Density” on the X-Ray page ↗
Neighbourhood4.5/10
A dense colony redeveloping on the BKC edge
  • Kalanagar/Gandhi Nagar is a MHADA colony redeveloping to towers all around, right on the BKC edge, with a 24.4 m district road to the south.
  • It is central and well-connected, but crowded and getting denser; how the neighbourhood reads by 2032 depends on the surrounding pipeline (an Adarsh Nagar redevelopment among them).
Understand “Neighbourhood” on the X-Ray page ↗
Peak-Hour Connectivity4.0/10
About 18 minutes to the nearest arterial - moderate
  • At 11am on a weekday, roughly 18 minutes to the nearest arterial or coastal-road entry - the same as the adjacent Raymond Invictus.
  • The highways and BKC are close, but the colony roads and the Western Express Highway slow the last stretch.
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 breathe - exterior air path, passes
  • Every kitchen sits against the outer wall with a chajja and a dry balcony, giving a real exterior air path rather than a sealed internal kitchen.
  • This one passes clearly.
Understand “Kitchen Ventilation” on the X-Ray page ↗
Lift Wait5.0/10
Two lifts a wing - a middling wait for the price

Each wing runs two lifts (one passenger, one fire) for two homes a floor, which works out to a B-to-C grade - fine off-peak, a little tight at the morning rush, and modest for a home at this price.

At the morning peak the two-lift core gives a wait in the region of 45-50 seconds.
Understand “Lift Wait” on the X-Ray page ↗
Water Adequacyqualitative
Water adequacy not yet scored
  • The sanctioned water count against the sold unit count is not in the file, so this stays open.
  • The building is MHADA-serviced with a sewage-treatment plant and rainwater harvesting per the approvals; the HE No-Objection Certificate water figure is the missing piece.
What to ask the builder
  • What is the sanctioned water provision against the number of homes sold?
Understand “Water Adequacy” on the X-Ray page ↗
Parking5.5/10
Self-park by ramp, with a mechanical stack on top
  • You can drive to your own bay: 6 m two-way ramps run down three basements and up the podium decks, so this is a self-park building, not a lift-dependent one.
  • A mechanical stack carries some of the load as well, and the agreement asks buyers to accept the risk of that system failing.
  • The ratio is comfortable - about 1.85 covered bays a home, with visitor parking provided - and electric-charging spaces are marked.
  • Which bay, on which level, and whether it is owned or licensed are still to be pinned down; push for the lowest basement level nearest the lift core.
What to ask the builder
  • Is the allotted bay self-park or on the stack, deeded or licensed, and wide enough for an SUV?
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
A mixed community - sale homes alongside rehoused families in Wing A
  • In Wing A, sale buyers share the building with 16 rehoused society families - a real mix of economic strata under one roof, with the sale homes on the larger, HNI-leaning side.
  • Wings B and C are cleaner sale wings, but the podium and amenity deck are shared across sale, rehab and landowner-share residents.
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?

Encumbrance contradiction: promoter declares 'no finance' while a Rs.75 cr Axis charge is live on CERSAI (C10)
MarketedClear title
DocumentedThe portal + CERSAI show a Rs.75 cr charge to Axis Trustee Services (a debenture trustee), registered 23.04.2025. The promoter's own finance disclosure declares lender/amount 'NA' (no finance) and that identical file was re-filed on 09.11.2025 - seven months AFTER the charge (C57).
The developer's own filing says 'no loan' while a Rs.75 crore charge sits registered against the project.

Same-building rehab + sale co-habitation in Wing A (16 of 30 units are rehab)
MarketedPremium sale residences
Documented16 of Wing A's 30 flats rehouse the existing Vivekanand society members in the SAME building as the sale flats (not a separate rehab tower). Wings B/C are sale + landowner-share.
In Wing A, buyers share the building with 16 rehoused society families.

Very high intra-plot density: 82 units on 1,872 sqm (floor area (FSI) ~5.1), 3 thin wings on one podium
MarketedBoutique / exclusive
Documented3 wings of 26-27 storeys and 82 units share a 1,872.40 sqm plot (floor area (FSI) ~5.1) and one podium/amenity deck, with recreational open space = 0.
A very dense three-wing tower on a small plot, with no on-plot recreational open space.

MEDIUM
Building deficient in open space + buyer pre-waives objection to neighbours' deficient development (C19)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe MHADA IOA (D-18) mandates the agreement clauses that (a) the building is deficient in open space and (b) the buyer gives advance NO-OBJECTION to future neighbouring development with deficient open space - i.e. pre-waives standing to resist adjoining towers that could close light/air/view. Writes to View and SRD.
The building is short of open space, and buyers sign away the right to object to equally dense development next door.

LOW-MED
Structured Rs.75 cr debenture-trustee capital, not a plain bank loan (C05)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe charge holder is Axis Trustee Services (a debenture/NCD security trustee), which points to structured credit rather than a bank construction loan. Whether the instrument is convertible / carries control triggers is unread.
The project's Rs.75 crore is held through a debenture trustee, suggesting NCD/structured financing - worth reading for control terms.

Hybrid parking: self-park ramps + a mechanized stack; buyer waives liability for its failure
MarketedAmple covered parking
DocumentedParking is self-park to basements/podiums via 6.0 m two-way ramps PLUS a mechanized stack (IOA D-18 discloses a mechanized system + extra stilt height); the buyer waives all liability for mechanical-parking failure and related mishaps.
Some parking runs on a mechanical system whose failure the buyer agrees not to hold anyone liable for.

Second-row/internal outlook with a live redevelopment regime around it (C20-adjacent)
MarketedOpen/skyline aspect (upper floors)
DocumentedOut-of-corridor: mostly open to N/E today, but Wadhwa Artek Park (28fl) already walls a SE/S slice at every floor, the Kalanagar colony clips low floors, and the SW is exposed to the Adarsh Nagar redevelopment pipeline; the 3 wings also block each other's internal arcs (C15).
The outlook is open today but sits in a colony actively redeveloping to towers, and the three wings face each other.

Modest 2-lift-per-wing provision at a ~Rs.3cr price (EWT B-to-C)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedEach wing runs 2 lifts (1 passenger + 1 fire) for 2 units/floor over ~15-19 residential floors; the EWT engine returns Grade B-to-C (interval ~47-51 s conservative).
Two lifts per wing give a middling lift-wait for a premium building.

Portal prints the sanctioned count as 'Commencement Certificate issued up-to'; Commencement Certificate is actually phase-wise (plinth in dump)
MarketedConstruction well advanced
DocumentedThe Commencement Certificate is issued phase-wise by design; full floor approval (27/26/26) is confirmed by the master layout + RERA table. The dump holds only the plinth Commencement Certificate - a documentation gap, not a delivery risk. Note the portal prints the sanctioned count in the 'Commencement Certificate issued up-to' field.
The certificate is issued in stages; the floors are fully approved - only the current stage-Commencement Certificate is missing from the file.

Undisclosed MahaRERA order against the promoter (portal says 'litigation: No')
MarketedNo litigation (portal 'Is there any litigation: No')
DocumentedA MahaRERA suo-moto complaint SM12600089 (23.01.2026) ended 'Order Approved' - most likely a marketing-representation matter with a ~Rs.25k fine (Rexray field). Note it; not a critical/deal-defining item.
MahaRERA passed a minor order (likely a marketing-representation fine ~Rs.25k), though the portal answers 'litigation: No'.

Aviation height-cap regime (Bandra East airport funnel)
Marketedn/a
DocumentedThe IOA conditions a Civil Aviation No-Objection Certificate (Bandra East sits under the airport approach). The ~70 m / 22-storey height is modest; whether the cap constrained the envelope is unread.
Airport height rules apply here; the tower's modest height likely sits within them.

Five questions to ask before you commit
  1. Is the pre-occupancy supplementary lease (843 sqm to the society) resolved in the agreement annexures?
  2. Is the Rs.75 crore Axis facility disclosed in the annexures - and is it convertible or control-triggered?
  3. Does the agreement carry the approval-mandated open-space-deficiency and neighbour no-objection clauses?
  4. Which parking bay - lowest basement nearest the lift core, self-park or on the mechanical stack, and SUV-wide?
  5. Committed possession date and whether the payment schedule is tied to construction milestones or the calendar?
