Schloss Bangalore Private Ltd, which manages Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts, announced on Tuesday (June 3) that it has acquired a commercial plot in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) after winning a bid in a Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) tender.

According to a Government of Maharashtra notification dated July 19, 2024, the plot qualifies for additional built-up area under a scheme by MMRDA that is valid until July 18, 2026, following its 159th meeting on March 28, 2025. The consortium intends to seek an extra 33,647.52 square meters of built-up area under this guideline.

The planned development will feature a mixed-use project that includes a 250-key luxury palace hotel with associated amenities and the Arq Club, along with a commercial tower of approximately 700,000 square feet in chargeable area terms. The ultimate configuration will depend on design and planning considerations, and the actual areas may vary. Possession of the land will be granted once the full lease premium has been settled.
