Other property deals
Earlier this year, K Raheja Corp Real Estate had acquired the land and buildings of Crossroad Condominium in Mumbai’s Haji Ali area, previously home to Sobo Central Mall owned by a Kishore Biyani company, for ₹476 crore as part of a debt resolution plan for non-performing assets.
Media reports had then said that the developer was planning to redevelop SOBO Central Mall, earlier known as Crossroads, perhaps the first mall in the country, into a high-end luxury residential project.
In 2024, demand for luxury and ultra luxury homes among wealthy Indians went up and this was primarily on account of few launches in the luxury housing segment and the fear of missing out (FOMO) on the most desirable properties in town.
Of the 25 ultra-luxury properties sold across the top cities in 2024 so far, Mumbai alone sold 21 units collectively worth ₹2,200 crore – an 84% share of the total deals in this segment across the top cities, as per data shared by Anarock.
