Oberoi Oceanic

• The society owns the land outright — a 1963 conveyance completed by a unilateral deemed conveyance in 2024 — and Oberoi develops it under a registered development agreement.
• Wadia Ghandy's title report (64-year search) certifies the title to develop as clear and marketable, without encumbrances, and the project carries no loan or mortgage.

• Two matters are pending in the Bombay High Court, but both are family/heir succession disputes over individual old member flats; the court has directed that neither will obstruct the redevelopment and possession of one flat was handed to the developer.
• One small housekeeping point: the property cards note a tenure code 'C' the report doesn't explain, though its clean freehold opinion governs.

• What's being sold is exactly what's approved — the marketed G+20 matches the sanctioned envelope, so there are no unapproved floors to wait on.
• The developer is a listed, cash-rich, Grade-A builder, the project is unencumbered, and the 32 members have signed on to a 50% carpet uplift with rent, relocation, a refundable deposit and delay penalties — a low-friction society deal.

• The tempering fact is stage, not certainty: construction is only at the plinth (0% superstructure), possession is around 2030/31, and payments track construction milestones.
• Ordinary early-build timing for a sound project rather than a delivery risk.

• The MahaRERA registration is active and freshly filed (April 2026), with a complete, legible portal record and the two court matters disclosed.
• The only wrinkle is a marketing possession date (Dec 2030) a few months ahead of the RERA date (Apr 2031).

• The claims check out: G+20 and five basements match the sanction, the ~40,000 sq.ft of sale inventory matches the ~15 sale homes, the ramp-and-basement parking is real, and the listing openly says redevelopment, under construction and bare-shell.
• The 'sea view' promise genuinely holds for the homes that are actually sold, because every sale unit is west-facing.

• Every sale apartment is oriented west — the living room, the master and two more rooms open onto west decks over the Arabian Sea, across the 36.5 m Carter Road.
• There is nothing on the seaward side to build on, so the view can't be taken away.

• The other redevelopments on this stretch (assume similar heights) sit alongside on the same road rather than between you and the water, so they don't close the aspect.
• This is the rare Mumbai case where the sea view is genuinely a lifetime one — and it is what the premium price is really buying.
• (Read as an out-of-corridor, field-confirmed aspect; the near-field on the non-sold sides is not part of the sale story.)

• The upper floors carry two large four-bedroom homes mirrored around a central core, with through-ventilation, west decks and the kitchen on the outer wall.
• The layout engine puts efficiency around 81% — a comfortable, well-planned plate.
• (Measured off the plan; confirm once plan legibility is signed off.)

• On the model agreement there is no restricted-common-area problem: the floor lobby is common to the two homes on the plate and is not carved out as an exclusive foyer, and the decks and chajja are disclosed RERA balcony area that you actually own (not a common-area charge).
• Nothing on the proforma is being sold to you as an 'exclusive area' beyond your carpet and deck.

• One item to verify on the EXECUTED agreement, because it can change this: the lobby is built for four lifts (two serving each home) and could be partitioned by a door into a private lift-lobby / foyer per apartment.
• Make sure any such private foyer is NOT sold to you as an exclusive area over and above your RERA carpet and deck — if it is, that becomes a genuine restricted-common-area cost.

• Indicative pricing is around Rs.1.5-1.6 lakh a sq.ft carpet (roughly Rs.44 Cr for a ~2,749 sq.ft home), bare-shell, with no cash component.
• The premium is explicitly for the lifetime-protected sea view and the coming coastal-road access rather than an inflated headline — but remember fit-out sits on top of that number, and there's no registered transaction yet to benchmark against.

• Only about 15 of the 47 homes are for sale; the lower floors are the 32 original society members, rehoused in the same tower on a 50% carpet uplift, and the sale homes form the block above them up to the penthouses.
• Density is boutique-to-moderate and there's a proper on-plot garden, but the buyer is joining a re-formed society the original members dominate.

• The setting is one of Mumbai's best-known seafront promenades — open coast to the west, an established premium Bandra West around it, and no adverse reservation on or near the plot.
• The nearby activity is more luxury redevelopment, so the neighbourhood is improving rather than degrading.

• Reaching the coastal road / Sea Link is slow through Bandra right now.
• Once the Otter's Club coastal-road entry opens (about one to two years out) that drops to roughly three minutes — a big improvement, but one that depends on a road still to be built.

The kitchen sits on the external wall with a dry balcony / utility beside it, so it has a proper outside air path — no recirculation problem.

Four passenger lifts plus a fire/evacuation lift serve a boutique load of two to three homes per floor, giving a comfortable Grade-A lift wait even on the conservative assumptions.

A municipal-water society redevelopment with the usual water-adequacy certificate conditioned before occupation; no unit-count water mismatch and nothing adverse on this front.

• Parking is a genuine strength.
• Five basement levels of self-park bays are reached by a proper six-metre driveway and a drivable ramp, so you drive to your own covered spot rather than waiting on a car-lift — the pattern that keeps a building in the top parking tier.
• There are about 2.6 four-wheeler spaces per home across 123 bays, plus ten visitor bays and a mix of standard and larger SUV-capable bays.

• The redevelopment agreement reserves 77 spaces for the society and its members, leaving the balance (about three per home) for the sale apartments.
• Two things to settle before signing: bay allotment is deferred, so negotiate for the lowest level nearest the lift core; and a private-bay EV charger is not marked on the sanctioned plan, so confirm you can install one.

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 community is small and upper-tier on both sides.
• The 32 original Bandra society members are rehoused on the lower floors — upsized by half again on their old carpet — and about 15 ultra-luxury buyers occupy the penthouse block above, with the same facade, height and finish throughout the tower.

• It is worth going in clear-eyed that this is a re-formed society the original members dominate in number, which is a different social proposition from an all-new luxury tower where every resident bought in at today's prices.
• The physical separation — members below, buyers above — and the shared premium finish soften that, but they do not remove it.
