Prestige, Valor and RC Group in Talks for Rs 70 Bn Housing Deal

Realty developers Prestige Group, RC Group, and Valor Estate are in advanced discussions to undertake one of Mumbai's largest cluster redevelopment projects involving public housing colonies, according to sources familiar with the matter. The project will focus on the redevelopment of 19 housing societies across four acres in Bandra, Mumbai, and is expected to have a gross development value (GDV) of Rs 70 billion.

As per the terms of the tripartite agreement, which is set to be finalised soon, Prestige Group will lead the project, overseeing the design, financing, and construction of the redevelopment to create modern residential complexes. RC Group and Valor Estate will handle the facilitation of the agreement, secure necessary regulatory approvals, and manage coordination between stakeholders to ensure the smooth execution of the project, the sources said.

Another source mentioned that once the agreement is finalised, the joint venture will apply for the floor space index (FSI) from the housing body, MHADA. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2025-26, with the project targeted for completion within four years after the agreement is signed.

Emails sent to Valor Estate and RC Group did not receive a response, and Prestige Group declined to comment. The proposed project is significant as it is being carried out without a formal Mhada cluster redevelopment policy in place, relying instead on collaboration among developers, facilitators, and residents. Experts suggest that the project not only addresses the pressing need to upgrade aging Mhada housing but also serves as a model for large-scale urban renewal initiatives.

Mumbai is home to more than 104 Mhada colonies that could be suitable for redevelopment, potentially unlocking a market worth over Rs 1 trillion through similar projects, which could further fuel growth and urban renewal in the city.

The collaboration among these developers underscores the potential for combining private sector expertise with public housing needs, particularly in the absence of formal policies. Redevelopment is a key component of Mumbai's property market, given the city’s space constraints, aging infrastructure, and high demand for modern housing. With limited land available for new projects, redevelopment offers a solution by revitalizing old buildings, chawls, and dilapidated structures into modern residential and commercial spaces.

The Maharashtra government's supportive policies, such as increased FSI and incentives for developers, have facilitated redevelopment efforts, helping residents of old buildings benefit from improved living conditions and modern amenities. As the city continues to grow vertically, redevelopment remains essential for sustainable urban development and revitalization.
