Started in 2006, the redevelopment work is far from completion but might get on track as the Bombay High Court has cleared the deck for the construction work to start. The project was in litigation due to a rule imposed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation that the developer must execute a permanent agreement with the old homeowners to get the construction commencement certificate. As the Bombay HC has set aside this condition, the work might begin soon.
