End of an Era: Parle G’s Historic Vile Parle Factory to Make Way for Landmark Office Tower

A chapter in Mumbai’s industrial history is closing as the legendary Parle G factory in Vile Parle — the birthplace of India’s iconic biscuit brand — prepares for a striking new future. The site, steeped in cultural and commercial significance, is being redeveloped into a modern office complex by L&T Realty, signalling a major real estate shift in one of the city’s most strategic business corridors.

From Biscuit Legacy to Commercial Landmark

Established in 1929, the Parle Products factory in Vile Parle was more than a manufacturing unit — it was a symbol of Mumbai’s entrepreneurial spirit and consumer culture. For decades, the scent of freshly baked Parle G biscuits was woven into the daily lives of locals. However, due to declining production capacity and changing industrial needs, the factory was permanently shut down in 2016, ending an era that spanned nearly 90 years.

Now, the vast 13-acre parcel of this historic site is being reinvented for contemporary commercial use. The transformation marks a dynamic shift from industrial heritage to premium real estate development — reflecting the evolving character of Mumbai’s urban landscape.

L&T Realty’s Office Tower to Redefine the Skyline

According to an update shared on X.com, L&T Realty is developing a 35-floor office tower adjacent to the prominent One International Centre on the Sewri–Worli Connector, near the Prabhadevi suburban rail station. This location is rapidly emerging as one of Mumbai’s most sought-after commercial hubs due to its strong connectivity and proximity to major business districts.

When completed, the new complex will offer Grade-A office space catering to corporates, financial services, tech firms and global enterprises. Its strategic address ensures excellent access to key transport links, including suburban rail and arterial roadways — appealing to both occupiers and investors alike.

What This Means for Mumbai’s Real Estate

The redevelopment of the Parle G factory site highlights a broader trend reshaping Mumbai’s property market: legacy industrial land being repurposed for high-value commercial and mixed-use real estate. With traditional manufacturing moving out of inner-city zones, prime land parcels are being reimagined to meet demand from multinational firms and knowledge economy sectors.

Experts say projects like these not only enhance Mumbai’s office inventory but also drive employment, stimulate local markets, and upgrade urban infrastructure — reinforcing the Western Suburbs’ role as a thriving real estate powerhouse.
