Overall Score4.7/10as of 09/26
Lodha markets a landmark - 'nearly 800 ft, among India's tallest commercial towers,' just off Worli Sea Face - but the record is a plinth-only, foundation-stage SRA free-sale tower sanctioned to 28 office floors, on government land the developer does not own, whose keys wait on a ~6,268-home slum-rehabilitation programme.
Flags- The tower is marketed at ~60 storeys but sanctioned to only 28 office floors on a plinth-only approval; the taller tower has no sanction yet.
The trade is a strong builder and a central Worli address against an early, layered SRA scheme: the marketed ~60-storey tower is sanctioned to 28 floors on a plinth-only CC with nothing built, occupation is sequenced behind a ~6,268-tenement rehab, and the land is government-owned and heavily litigated. It rewards investigation of the amended sanction, the rehab timeline and the eventual registered price - not a reflexive yes or no.
The five things that decide it
1Marketing shows a ~60-storey / ~800 ft commercial tower, but the CURRENT COMMERCIAL APPROVAL is 28 office floors (39 total levels) and the residential sibling's is 69 floors (not yet RERA-filed) - both on a plinth-only Commencement Certificate; the taller marketed tower needs an amended sanction that has not landed.
2Occupation is gated on delivery of the ~6,268-tenement rehabilitation component (96-month clock, transport-garage + amenity handovers) that the buyer neither sees nor controls.
3Lodha owns none of the land - development rights only, on municipal/SRA land, via a Jan-2026 JDA with Sudhakar Shetty's Sahana - and the title carries 53 pending matters (a Supreme Court/DHFL case and enforcement-agency attachments among them) on a qualified opinion.
4Lodha brings its own balance sheet and delivery record to an opening created by the Sahana-Oberoi fallout on this larger Worli parcel - the same land as Oberoi's Three Sixty West, which Oberoi built and then declined to continue; a deep 10-level podium lifts offices ~35 m and access improves as the Worli-Sewri connector opens (~10 min to the Sea Link).
5The approval records the estate as open-space and ventilation-shaft deficient (buyers made to waive complaints), and the marketed 'sea view' clears only above ~35 floors - Ahuja Towers, Beaumonde, Kalpataru Oceana, the upcoming Lotus Aquaria and the Adarsh Nagar redevelopment break the line.
Livability
5.3/10MixedPillar score is the average of the scored attributes below; some attributes are qualitative and carry questions rather than a number.
Compound Density3.5/10
A very dense mixed-use SRA mega-estate on one 89,031 sqm land
- The commercial tower shares one podium with a ~285m residential sibling and a mechanized parking tower, on a 89,031 sqm Larger Land that also carries ~6,268 rehab tenements in ~21+ rehab buildings and the Three Sixty West supertall free-sale cluster, at floor area (FSI) up to 4.00.
- The rehab sits in separate structures (limited in-building mixing) but the estate is extremely dense and the LOI records it as open-space/amenity-space deficient.
- Recreational open space on this registration is only 85.61 sqm.
Understand “Compound Density” on the X-Ray page ↗Neighbourhood4.5/10
Transitional Worli mill-land / SRA belt - dense but central and improving
- The setting is the Worli/Lower Parel mill-land and slum-redevelopment belt: the scheme's own ~6,268-tenement rehab cluster, the Three Sixty West towers on the same land, and the dense Worli pipeline to the west and north (Lodha Park, Sumitomo, and others in the discovered store).
- The Development Plan-snapshot static layer (Development Plan roads, reservations, the SWM garage/staff-quarters obligations) seals as [GOV]; the the 2032 area outlook certainty/timing is a field item.
Understand “Neighbourhood” on the X-Ray page ↗Peak-Hour Connectivity7.0/10
About 10 minutes to the Sea Link, improving as the Worli-Sewri connector opens
- About 10 minutes to the current Sea Link access (measured from Godrej Bay View as the local proxy).
- The plot fronts a Development Plan road running beneath the under-construction Worli-Sewri Elevated Connector; both that Development Plan road and the connector are expected to be complete by the time the project is ready, so access should improve over the build period.
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 Ventilationqualitative
Not applicable - commercial office tower
- KVF (kitchen air-path) is a residential attribute.
- This is a commercial office tower with no residential kitchens, so the KVF rule does not apply; carried as not-applicable rather than pass/fail.
- (If pantry/F&B units appear in the registered plans, revisit.)
Understand “Kitchen Ventilation” on the X-Ray page ↗Lift Wait5.5/10
Grade C lift wait for 28 office floors on three passenger lifts (plus a fireman's lift)
- The lift-wait engine returns Grade B-to-C for three passenger lifts serving 28 office floors (interval ~39-50s across the luxury speed/capacity band); a fireman's evacuation lift is provided in addition.
- The engine models one 'unit' per floor, but an office floor carries many more occupants than a home, so real lift demand is higher - the honest read seals on the conservative Grade C and flags office population / destination-control as a Phase-2 refinement.
Understand “Lift Wait” on the X-Ray page ↗Water Adequacy5.5/10
Scheme-standard water; the supply-No-Objection Certificate count is the one downstream unknown
Water provision is scheme-standard (SRA, on-site services), with the LOI adding subsoil/geologist and MOEF conditions; the unquantified item is the water-supply No-Objection Certificate's sanctioned count against the sale demand - a downstream approval, not a missing one.
Understand “Water Adequacy” on the X-Ray page ↗Parking6.5/10
Self-park podium on a large plot, with a mechanized parking tower alongside
- Parking for Sale Building No.2 is pooled: a ten-level self-park podium (Ground + Part Upper Ground + Podium 1-9 = 418 bays, ramped with some stack parking) PLUS a dedicated mechanized parking tower (car-stacker, 128 bays).
- The commercial tower's requirement is ~112 bays.
- The dominant mechanism is drive-to-bay podium self-park (a mid-high anchor), but the LOI mandates a mechanized parking system/parking tower with vendor peer-review, indemnity and a buyer-agreement waiver re mechanical-parking failure (C64 - do not over-read a clause; mechanism sealed from the layout image).
- Which office bays sit in the ramped podium vs the mechanized tower, and bay-level allotment, are field items.
- The retrieval engine returns Grade A even for the mechanized case because there are only 28 office tenancies (no residential peak) - parking is not a queue problem here.
PHASE-2 field: parking is a low-materiality attribute for the commercial tower; on a plot this large the scheme runs a self-park podium (drive-to-bay), so the anchor sits on the self-park case rather than the mechanized tower.
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 ↗Community4.5/10
Commercial product on a mixed-strata SRA mega-estate
- This is a commercial office product sharing a gated SRA mega-estate with a luxury residential sibling, ~6,268 rehoused slum-society households in separate rehab towers, and the Three Sixty West cluster.
- For an office tower the community-composition lens is weaker than for homes, but the mixed-strata, high-density estate context still applies.
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
Rehab programme (~6,268 tenements) contractually gates the sale component's occupation
MarketedMarketing shows only the sale towers
DocumentedOn this SRA scheme the sale component's OC is gated on the rehab side: the Transport Garage BUA must be handed over before OC to equivalent sale BUA, amenity/road plots before the last 10-25% of sale BUA, and the ~6,268-tenement rehab component (272,701 sqm) must complete within 96 months of the last-wing Commencement Certificate. Phase-1 has delivered ~2,986 tenements in 21 rehab buildings. The buyer's keys depend on a rehab programme that is not part of what is being bought. Build state (field): land cleared, foundation/excavation started.
Occupation of the offices depends on completing a very large slum-rehabilitation programme the buyer neither sees nor controls.

HIGH
Unusually heavy litigation (53 title matters vs 42 on the portal), incl. a Supreme Court/DHFL matter and ED/PMLA attachments
MarketedPortal 'litigation: Yes' (42 cases)
DocumentedThe title report schedules 53 litigations against the Sahana entities - more than the 42 on the portal (C49/C07). They include a Supreme Court matter (Kapil Wadhawan v. Skylark - the DHFL link), ED/PMLA provisional attachments of Skylark monies (2013/2014), a Neev Infrastructure arbitration, dozens of slum-dweller writs and Apex Grievance Redressal Committee challenges, income-tax appeals and NGT-Pune environmental matters. The opinion is expressly qualified on these.
The land and its owners carry an unusually heavy and varied litigation load, including a Supreme Court matter and enforcement-agency attachments, and the title opinion is qualified on all of it.

Marketed ~800 ft / 'over 60 storeys, tallest commercial tower' vs a sanctioned 28 office floors / 39 levels (plinth-only Commencement Certificate)
Marketed'Rising nearly 800 ft', 'over 60 storeys', 'among the tallest commercial towers in the country'
DocumentedThe sanctioned commercial tower is 28 habitable office floors (11th-38th) / 39 total levels, terrace ~150m (~490 ft), with a Commencement Certificate for plinth level only. The marketed ~800ft / 60+-storey tower is roughly double the sanctioned office-floor count and ~1.6x the sanctioned height - so the building being marketed is not (yet) the building that is sanctioned. With 0 units sold and no registered the agreement this is not a 'sale above sanction', but it IS a delivery/approval-pending contingency: an amended, taller sanction must land (and the restricted Clause-3.11 floor area (FSI) clears) before the marketed tower can be built.
The marketed tower is far taller than what is currently sanctioned - the taller building depends on an amended approval that has not landed.

Lodha holds development rights only; the land is MCGM-owned and developed under an SRA LOI, on a qualified title
Marketed'Lodha Promina' - a Lodha Worli project
DocumentedLodha owns none of the land; ~78,919 sqm of the 89,031 sqm Larger Land is MCGM property developed under a Reg 33(10) SRA LOI + 25%-of-ASR premium, with a ~10,111 sqm Skylark freehold pocket. The title opinion certifies the DEVELOPER'S ENTITLEMENT (not ownership) as 'clear and marketable', expressly subject to the approvals, the mortgage/charge, the pending litigations and the Three Sixty West JV.
The developer builds on government land under a slum-scheme licence, not on land it owns, and the title opinion is qualified.

Contingent floor area (FSI): BUA above 4.00 in the Clause-3.11 pocket is restricted pending UD Department clarification
Marketed-
DocumentedThe LOI expressly RESTRICTS the BUA proposed beyond 4.00 floor area (FSI) in the Clause-3.11 sub-scheme - 11,828.82 sqm rehab + 14,902.41 sqm sale - 'while issuing this approval till clarification/Directions from UD Department'. A genuine scheme-level contingent-floor area (FSI) item (though not specific to the commercial tower's own sanctioned envelope).
Part of the scheme's floor area is sanction-contingent, held back until a state clarification lands.

MEDIUM
Deficient open space / AVS with a mandated buyer-agreement waiver (C19)
Marketed-
DocumentedThe LOI mandates an open-space-deficiency premium (cond 51) and registered buyer undertakings that buyers 'will not hold SRA & its Staff liable for deficient Open Spaces', 'inadequate/sub-standard sizes of rooms' or 'inadequate sizes of Artificial Ventilation Shaft (AVS)' (cond 54 d/e/f). Recreational open space on this registration is only 85.61 sqm. These waiver clauses must be inserted into the sale agreements.
The approval records the scheme as short of open space and requires buyers to sign away complaints about it.

Dedicated MECHANIZED parking tower with a mandated indemnity + buyer-agreement waiver (C64)
Marketed-
DocumentedParking is pooled across a ramped self-park podium (418 bays) plus a dedicated mechanized parking tower (car-stacker, 128 bays). The LOI mandates the mechanized system with authorized-vendor drawings, peer review, traffic (E.E. T&C) and M&E NOCs, a 3-year maintenance obligation, and a registered indemnity plus a clause in the sale agreements that buyers will not complain to the SRA about the mechanized parking or its failure. Which office bays sit in the podium vs the tower, and bay allotment, are field items.
Some parking is a mechanized car-stacker tower, and buyers are made to pre-waive complaints about its failure.

Same 'Larger Land' as Three Sixty West; Sahana (Sudhakar Shetty) is the entitlement holder - partner-reliability signal
Marketed'Lodha Promina' presented as a standalone Lodha project
DocumentedThis commercial tower sits on the SAME 89,031 sqm land as Three Sixty West (the Oberoi/Oasis Realty free-sale building); Lodha builds the balance free-sale floor area (FSI) (~1,52,609 sqm) under a 40:60 JDA with Sahana. Sahana (Shree Vrunda + Skylark, Sudhakar Shetty) is the entitlement holder and carries the litigation/enforcement stress above. The Three Sixty West precedent is that the deep-pocketed partner (Oberoi there, Lodha here) completes the building and absorbs the exit. JDA security is ordinary bank/FI construction finance (not a PE/convertible flag).
The land and its owner are the Three Sixty West / Sahana story again, with Lodha now the capital partner on the balance free-sale.

MEDIUM
Environmental / coastal conditions: MOEF clearance, geologist No-Objection Certificate, CZMP compliance, NGT parking oversight
Marketed-
DocumentedThe LOI requires a fresh/revised MOEF Environmental Clearance before Commencement Certificate to any building (cond 58), a Geologist No-Objection Certificate (cond 57), and a Civil Aviation No-Objection Certificate height restriction (cond 59). The Commencement Certificate condition 4 bars development contravening the Coastal Zone Management Plan, and an NGT-Pune order (OA 5/2021, 02/02/2022) oversees the rehab parking completion. These environmental clearances are pre-Commencement Certificate conditions whose grant is not evidenced in the dump.
Environmental, coastal and aviation clearances are pre-conditions to building above plinth and their grant is not yet in the file.

Lodha proforma the agreement carries the full developer-tilted adhesion set (C08) + development-rights/POA control (C09)
Marketed-
DocumentedThe proforma agreement carries Lodha's standard adhesion terms: irrevocable consent to assign/securitise receivables, a lien on the unit, a broad purchaser indemnity, developer-appointed facility-management company, deferred amenity operationalization with no CAM rebate, holding charges, 18% interest on maintenance dues, and developer sole discretion on cheque dates. Separately the JDA vests development rights + an irrevocable POA in Lodha and defers conveyance to the societies to scheme completion, with Lodha controlling design, sales, maintenance and the RERA filing (C09).
The standard agreement is heavily developer-tilted, and the developer keeps contractual control of the estate with conveyance deferred.

LOW-MED
Origination stage: plinth-only Commencement Certificate, 0% built, 39 sanctioned levels - staging, not a sale-above-sanction
MarketedPortal 'Commencement Certificate Issued up-to: Plinth Level'
DocumentedThe Commencement Certificate certifies plinth level only and construction is 0% - normal SRA origination staging (C34/C61). The sanctioned count (39 levels / 28 office floors) comes from the layout/RERA table, not the Commencement Certificate extent. No units are sold and no marketed floor overstatement exists, so this is NOT a sale-above-sanction or a delivery-certainty flag - just early stage.
The building is at plinth stage with nothing above it built yet; that is timing, not an approval gap.

No registered price - 0 units sold; commercial Worli office pricing has no anchor this pass
Marketed'market value is 2-3x the ready-reckoner' (promoter viability declaration)
DocumentedThere is no registered Agreement for Sale and no unit has transacted, so there is no price anchor - only the proforma the agreement and a promoter solvency assertion. The Worli/Lower Parel office price band and any cash component are field inputs (C21). Rexray field band: Rs 80k-1L/sqft for the higher (view) floors above ~35 floors Beaumonde; confirm office-vs-residential applicability and cash component.
There is no transacted price yet, so pricing cannot be assessed from documents.

Structural engineer not yet appointed (Form 2A) - origination-stage QA gap
Marketed-
DocumentedThe Engineer's Form 2A (10/06/2026) records 'Whether Structural Engineer has been appointed for the project? No.' Normal at plinth stage but worth confirming before superstructure, especially on a 39-level tower.
A structural engineer had not been appointed as of mid-2026 - fine at plinth stage but to confirm before the tower rises.

LOW
Design-vs-sanction architect split (SCDA Singapore marketed; Sanjay Neve & Associates on the sanction)
Marketed'Designed by SCDA, Singapore'
DocumentedThe marketing credits SCDA Architects (Singapore) as designer, while the sanctioned drawings are by Sanjay Neve & Associates. A design-vs-sanction architect split is common (design consultant + local sanction architect) but worth recording; it also means the marketed product/plates may differ from the sanctioned ones.
The marketed designer differs from the sanction architect - the marketed design may not match the sanctioned drawings.
