Worli

Worli sits at the narrowest point of the western shoreline, which is why the sea link lands here and why the view from the upper floors is the one the rest of the city photographs. The mills that once ran the neighbourhood are gone, but the land they occupied is what made this the most concentrated stretch of new luxury construction in Mumbai.

The address carries a particular kind of scarcity. There are only so many buildings that face the water without something in front of them, and those floors rarely come back to market twice in a decade. When they do, the registered rates on Dr Annie Besant Road tend to set the reference point every other micro-market is measured against.
