SoBo Central Residences: Haji Ali's Landmark Mall Reimagined as a Sea-View Tower
3, 4 & 5 BHK · Price on Request
K Raheja SoBo Central Residences takes its name and its site from a Mumbai landmark: the plot of the country's first shopping mall, once known as Crossroads and later as SOBO Central, redeveloped by K Raheja Corp into a residential address in Haji Ali. The mall itself opened in the late 1990s in south Mumbai and became a fixture of the city's retail history before its site was acquired for this transformation.
The promise here is straightforward: a home on one of South Mumbai's most storied streetscapes, with the Arabian Sea on one side and the green expanse of the Mahalaxmi Racecourse nearby. Life at this address means proximity to the Haji Ali Dargah, the clubs and institutions of Pedder Road and Carmichael Road, and the everyday convenience of a neighbourhood that has always sat close to the city's commercial and cultural core.
The redevelopment is planned around a single sea-facing high-rise, envisioned as an approximately 50-storey tower rising from the 1.3-acre plot, a scale uncommon in a locality where most sites are cut into far smaller society-redevelopment parcels. K Raheja Corp, which has built its residential portfolio around addresses like Raheja Vivarea in Mahalaxmi and Raheja Artesia in Worli, brings that same South Mumbai design sensibility to this site.
Few opportunities exist to build at this scale so close to Haji Ali, Pedder Road, and Altamount Road, which is what makes this redevelopment significant for the neighbourhood as much as for its future residents. A rare large plot, a landmark address, and unobstructed sea views combine in a part of the city where such combinations almost never come together.
For those who have watched this stretch of Haji Ali from a distance, this is the moment the site's next chapter takes shape.

Mahalaxmi, South Mumbai · Mumbai
Haji Ali sits at the heart of South Mumbai, wedged between Mahalaxmi's racecourse greens and the Arabian Sea, in a stretch long associated with the city's oldest wealth. The site itself carries its own history: the mall, previously identified as Crossroads, commenced operations in the late 1990s in south Mumbai and was India's first enclosed shopping mall before it became SOBO Central. Around it run Carmichael Road, Pedder Road, and Altamount Road, streets that real estate consultants describe as India's Billionaires' Row. Few plots of this size come up in this pocket of the city, since most nearby parcels are given over to smaller housing-society redevelopments.
For a residential address, this location offers a rare combination: a large, self-contained 1.3-acre footprint in a micro-market otherwise defined by narrow lanes and older low-rise buildings. The Haji Ali junction connects directly to Pedder Road, Worli, and the arterial roads linking Nariman Point, Lower Parel, and Bandra-Kurla Complex, keeping South Mumbai's institutions, clubs, and business districts within a short drive.

The Worli-Marine Drive coastal road stretch improves north-south connectivity along the western seafront, cutting travel time between South Mumbai and the western suburbs for residents near Haji Ali.
The underground metro corridor linking Colaba, Bandra, and SEEPZ brings mass-transit access closer to South Mumbai neighbourhoods including Mahalaxmi and Worli, easing dependence on road traffic.
The existing sea link continues to shorten commute times between South Mumbai and the western suburbs, a key connectivity advantage for addresses near Haji Ali and Worli.
Civic proposals for the historic racecourse adjoining Haji Ali point to expanded public green and recreational space in the immediate neighbourhood over the coming years.
Ongoing improvements along Pedder Road and connecting arteries continue to strengthen access between Haji Ali, Malabar Hill, and the Lower Parel-BKC office corridor.
The site was home to Crossroads, later SOBO Central, India's original shopping mall from the late 1990s, giving this redevelopment a layer of civic history few new residential addresses in Mumbai can claim.
The plot sits alongside Carmichael Road, Pedder Road, and Altamount Road, a cluster of streets long regarded by real estate consultants as among India's most exclusive residential addresses.
At 1.3 acres, this is one of the larger contiguous parcels available in the Haji Ali micro-market, where most surrounding sites are limited to smaller housing-society redevelopments.
The redevelopment is planned as a single high-rise reaching roughly 50 storeys, positioning residences to look out over the Arabian Sea from a height uncommon in this part of South Mumbai.
K Raheja Corp has built earlier South Mumbai addresses including Raheja Vivarea in Mahalaxmi and Raheja Artesia in Worli, bringing established local execution experience to this redevelopment.
Haji Ali's junction links directly to Pedder Road, Worli, and onward to Nariman Point, Lower Parel, and BKC, keeping the city's institutions and business districts within easy reach.
