Aamir Khan Pali Hill Homes to Be Redeveloped

A major luxury redevelopment is on the horizon for Mumbai’s elite Pali Hill area, with actor Aamir Khan’s residential society set to be rebuilt as part of a high-end real estate project.

The redevelopment, led by listed developer Man Infraconstruction Limited (MICL) in partnership with the Wadhwa Group and Chandak Group under the Atmosphere Realty joint venture, is expected to launch by December 2025. Khan, a long-time resident of the area, owns as many as 12 apartments in the Virgo Cooperative Housing Society in Bandra. These units will be part of the upcoming redevelopment, and the actor, along with other existing residents, is slated to receive new flats in the rehabilitation section of the project.

The project is currently in the documentation and regulatory approvals phase, with groundwork progressing in coordination with society members. MICL confirmed that an associate entity with a 34% stake in the project will execute the redevelopment, which aims to bring a new dimension of ultra-luxury housing to the historic neighbourhood. Located in Bandra’s leafy and highly sought-after Pali Hill, the site offers a blend of old-world charm and proximity to Mumbai’s commercial and cultural centres. However, despite its prime location, developers are entering a market showing signs of fatigue at the upper end of the housing spectrum. Units priced above ₹1 lakh per square foot—particularly those exceeding ₹30 crore—have recorded slower movement, reflecting shifting demand dynamics in the post-pandemic real estate landscape.

MICL’s leadership acknowledged the trend but remained optimistic. “There is a limited number of buyers in this segment, and sales are moving slowly, especially as apartment sizes grow larger. But our project is financially secure, and our focus remains on profitability rather than quick turnover,” said the company’s managing director. Despite the broader market softness, the project’s association with a high-profile resident like Aamir Khan, coupled with its location in one of Mumbai’s most iconic addresses, is expected to generate significant interest among high-net-worth buyers.

Importantly, the redevelopment presents an opportunity for the incorporation of sustainable and environmentally responsible design. While the specifics of the project’s ecological commitments have not yet been disclosed, urban planners and citizen groups have increasingly called for high-end developments in Mumbai to meet green building standards, reduce carbon footprints, and strengthen resilience to climate-related challenges. Pali Hill, like many older Mumbai neighbourhoods, struggles with crumbling infrastructure, lack of open spaces, and traffic bottlenecks. As new construction replaces ageing housing societies, expectations are rising for developers to balance luxury with long-term environmental stewardship.

As the city pushes toward climate-sensitive redevelopment, the transformation of Aamir Khan’s building into a luxury residential address may serve as a litmus test—blending celebrity appeal with urban renewal, and ideally, sustainability. The coming months will reveal whether this high-profile project becomes a benchmark for responsible luxury or remains another addition to Mumbai’s dense skyline.
