More carpet area than you have today
Worked out from your own plot and your own documents rather than quoted at a first meeting. Whatever it comes to is written in before you vote.
For housing societies
Everything your society should know before it decides.
Redevelopment is a thirty-year decision, usually made by a handful of people in a meeting room, on the strength of what four builders have told them.
So this page is the plain version. How the process actually runs, what your society gets out of it, and what committees worry about most. If you would rather have this conversation in person, we will come to you.
Why Dharti Group
We have been doing this in your neighbourhood since 2000.
Society redevelopment is the work Dharti was built around. Every project we have completed has been one, through SRA or MCGM, and more than a thousand families have made a home in a building of ours.
Twenty-five years on we are building more than we ever have, including our largest development yet, in Borivali West. That matters more than it sounds. A society signing today is signing with a company in the middle of its strongest run.
How it goes
From the first conversation to the day you get your keys.
-
01
You decide to look into it
Usually one or two people on the committee start asking questions. Nothing is committed and nothing is charged. We look at the building and tell you honestly whether redevelopment makes sense for it. Sometimes it does not, and we will say so.
-
02
We work out what your plot can actually give
Plot size, existing built-up area, and the rules that apply where you are. This arithmetic decides everything else, so we would rather show you the working than ask you to take our word for it.
-
03
The offer, in writing
Area, corpus, rent during construction, timelines. Every figure in one document, laid out so you can put it beside the other offers on the table and compare like with like.
-
04
Your society votes
A formal meeting under the state's redevelopment guidelines, with proper notice and a recorded vote. The decision is entirely the society's. If the answer is no, that is a perfectly good answer.
-
05
Agreements, signed and registered
The development agreement is drafted, read by your society's legal advisors and registered before anything begins. Every commitment made at the offer stage carries into it.
-
06
Moving out
We help every family find somewhere nearby. Transit rent, the moving schedule and who pays for what are all set out in the agreement before the first family packs.
-
07
Approvals and building
SRA or MCGM, then construction. You will have one person to call throughout, and regular written updates on how the site is going. The quiet stretches are the ones societies worry about, so those are the ones we write to you in.
-
08
Coming home
Possession, occupation certificate, and conveyance of the new building to your society. Same address, same neighbours, and a building with decades ahead of it.
What your society gets
Agreed before you vote, and written into the agreement.
A corpus for the society
An amount per flat, settled at the offer stage and recorded in the registered agreement.
Rent for the whole time you are out
Transit rent for every family, from the day you move out to the day you move back, on terms the agreement sets out.
The building, specified in writing
The specification for every home in the new building is listed in the agreement, alongside everything else.
An agreement you can actually read
Plain language, read by your own legal advisors and registered before a single thing begins.
What your society does not risk
Committees tend to worry about the same four things.
They are worth saying out loud, because the answers are the real difference between one builder and another.
“The date keeps moving.”
The possession date sits in the registered agreement rather than in a presentation. Our completed buildings in Malad and Kandivali have their occupation certificates, and you are welcome to go and stand in front of any of them before you decide anything.
“The rent stops arriving in year two.”
Transit rent is an obligation in the registered agreement, with its terms written out in full. A society that stops trusting you halfway through is a project that stops, so it is the first thing we plan around.
“We will get the cheaper version of the building.”
Members' homes sit in the same building as the homes we sell, and the specification for all of them is listed in the agreement. It is there to be read before anyone votes.
“There will be something in the contract we missed.”
Your legal advisors read it before you sign, and every commitment from the offer stage appears in it. We would rather spend an extra week on the drafting than have a committee find something in year three.
Already done
The societies who decided to trust us.
Dharti Pressidio and Dharti SRA Phase I in Kandivali West. Gala Residency and Surbhi in Malad East. Dharti Phase II in Malad West and Swapnapurti in Kandivali West are under construction now.
They sit within a short drive of each other, and the finished ones are lived in by families who were on that plot before we started. You are welcome to go and look at any of them.
