How Worli Became India’s Most Expensive Neighbourhood.

What was once a simple seafront promenade for walkers and joggers now showcases soaring glass towers, luxury homes, and price tags that set national benchmarks for elite urban living.

A Hub for Ultra-Luxury Living

According to recent property market reports, Worli now dominates nearly 40% of India’s ultra-luxury apartment transactions, with homes priced above ₹40 crore accounting for a significant share of the nation’s high-end real estate activity. The Times of India+1

Premium residential towers in the area fetch staggering prices — from approximately ₹65,000 to over ₹1,00,000 per square foot, placing Worli’s market in the same league as global luxury neighbourhoods like New York’s Lower Manhattan. The Times of India+1

Record-Breaking Real Estate Deals

In 2025 alone, Worli witnessed some of India’s costliest property transactions, including two duplex apartments that reportedly sold for over ₹700 crore — a remarkable marker of the area’s appeal among ultra-high-net-worth individuals. The Times of India

This concentration of high-value deals doesn’t just reflect rising prices — it underscores how Worli has become a symbol of wealth and prestige in India’s urban property landscape. The Times of India

Beyond luxury residences, Worli’s premium status is attracting institutional interest in both residential and commercial sectors. Reports indicate growing office space demand in the area, with strong rental uptake and limited vacancies — signaling that Worli is emerging not just as a housing hotspot, but as a dynamic mixed-use urban centre.

As Mumbai continues to evolve as a global metropolis, Worli’s transformation from a humble seafront into India’s ultra-luxury address stands as one of the most striking real estate stories of the decade — blending location, lifestyle, and investment momentum in a way few neighbourhoods can match.
