What is redevelopment?

In Maharashtra, several old buildings, especially those comprising two to seven storeys, are currently being redeveloped.

Redevelopment of housing projects involves the demolition of the old structures and replacing them with a modern and bigger building subject to various norms.

Under the redevelopment model, a developer signs a development agreement with homeowners residing in these old buildings.

The developer promises extra area to each of the flat owners after redevelopment. In exchange, the developer gets to utilize the remaining unused Floor Space Index (FSI) of the plot and build additional homes to sell at a premium in the open market.

For example, if there are 50 flats in a five-storeyed building and each flat is of 450 sq ft, the developer will sign agreements with the 50 owners and commit to give each of them a 500 sq ft flat in the redeveloped building.

In lieu, the developer for example constructs 100 flats of 500 sq ft and after giving 50 flats to the owners, he will sell the remaining in the open market and make a profit.

What is cluster redevelopment?

Cluster redevelopment policy is where more than one plot or building is merged by forming a cluster and redeveloped as one project. Under this, the Maharashtra government gives various exemptions including additional floor space index (FSI) to developers, considering it takes care of the old buildings in the city of Mumbai.

In May 2023, the Maharashtra government had also announced a 50 percent premium waiver payable by real estate developers for its cluster development policy in Mumbai for a period of one year, a move which is expected to aid redevelopment of old buildings in the city.

Listed real estate developer Macrotech, which operates under the Lodha brand name, had in October 2023 signed a development agreement for development in the free sale component of a slum rehabilitation project in Mumbai’s Worli area. The total agreement market value of the deal is 359.48 crore, according to documents accessed by CRE Matrix, real estate data analytics firm.
