Gurugram-based real estate developer DLF is preparing to make its entry into the Mumbai residential market with the launch of its premium housing project, ‘The Westpark,’ scheduled for July 17. This marks a significant move for DLF, which has previously focused its residential development efforts primarily in Delhi-NCR and other regions but had remained largely inactive in the Mumbai housing market for over a decade.
The project, located in Andheri West along the link road and close to the Oshiwara Metro station, will be developed in phases. In the first phase, DLF will launch two towers that are part of a larger development comprising a total of eight towers. The company has received approvals from the Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) for this phase, which includes 416 apartments across four towers. Of these, only two towers will be launched initially, while the other two are expected to follow shortly. The second phase of the project, according to sources, will add another four towers and is likely to be launched in the coming months.
The Westpark project is spread across a 5.18-acre plot, with the approved towers planned on 7,788 square metres of that area. The development will feature over 400 residential units, with offerings that include 3 BHK, 4 BHK, and 5 BHK apartments, as well as a limited number of studio apartments. The sizes of the units range from 1,048 square feet to 2,278 square feet for the larger apartments, while the five studio apartments will each measure approximately 236 square feet. The entire project is expected to be completed by June 2032. The development will also include a clubhouse spanning 50,000 square feet, intended to serve as a lifestyle amenity hub for residents.
Units in this project are expected to be priced in the upper segment, with base pricing likely starting around ₹5 crore and above, positioning the development firmly within Mumbai’s premium residential segment. The pricing and scale of the project indicate DLF’s intent to compete in the upper-tier housing market of the city, which has seen growing demand from high-income buyers looking for spacious and amenity-rich homes in centrally connected suburbs like Andheri.
DLF had earlier announced its re-entry into the Mumbai market in July 2023. The company had been absent from Mumbai’s housing sector since the early 2010s, after it sold its prime land parcel in Lower Parel to Lodha Group in 2012 for ₹2,700 crore. The land had originally been acquired in 2005 during an NTC auction for ₹704 crore, but plans for development were stalled following the 2008 global financial crisis.
The Westpark is being developed under a joint venture with the Trident Group as part of a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) redevelopment scheme. This public-private model is a common mechanism for residential development in Mumbai, especially in congested urban locations where slum rehabilitation and market-rate housing are combined in the same project.
DLF’s entry into Mumbai comes at a time when several other national and regional developers are expanding or re-entering the city’s housing market, encouraged by strong demand for premium apartments, redevelopment opportunities, and improved infrastructure connectivity such as metro lines and road upgrades. While the company has not issued an official press release regarding the launch, sources familiar with the project confirmed that bookings and detailed marketing activity would commence post the July 17 announcement. An email query to DLF regarding project specifics is pending response.
The launch of The Westpark signals DLF’s renewed commitment to developing high-end residential projects in India’s most competitive real estate market and is expected to generate significant buyer interest due to the developer’s brand reputation and the strategic location of the project in Andheri West.
