From last three years the opening of mill lands for real estate development has increased the growth of south Mumbai.
Worli is an old settlement developed adjacent to the mills district and highly populated central Mumbai localities. There are many prominent residential, commercial and retail addresses which were sought after destinations in the past and even today. There are many good schools and colleges, hospitals and entertainment and leisure facilities present.
Proximity to the business district of South Mumbai, and retail hub at Kalbadevi, Masjid Bandar areas and more importantly its view of the Arabian Sea have made Worli a prime residential neighborhood. Many old chawls are being redeveloped into high-rise towers with a host of facilities. These cater mainly to the high income group sector. Further, the development at the mill lands is also targeting high-end customers. In the near future, Worli as well as the mill district of Parel will see more of high-end residential along with commercial, retail and hospitality developments. The neighborhood area will emerge as the most preferred location for real estate spaces in the city.
