The land parcel has a potential development area of 45 lakh square feet. Residential prices in Bandra Reclamation are pegged at around Rs 83,000 per square foot.
As per the bid terms, Adani Realty will have to share higher of either Rs 8,000 crore or 23.15% gross revenue earned from the project with MSRDC.
The timeframe set for the fulfilment of these conditions is 10 years from the handover of the land parcel to the developer.
