The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) had floated tenders to find a developer to redevelop Motilal Nagar in Goregaon on Friday, October 29.
According to the reports, the colony, which MHADA owns, includes 3,700 tenements and 1,600 slum hutments. However, an official said that a survey is currently underway to find out the exact number of slum hutments and the eligible tenements. Nearly 33,000 flats will be available post redevelopment. Each residential structure will have 1,600 sq feet flats, while each non-residential structure will have 976 sq feet flats. If the cost of construction goes above 833.8 sq ft, it shall be borne by the developer.
