Mumbai Infra Update: Bandra Bay Waterfront Transformation Begins; BMC, Godrej Properties Start Phase 1 Promenade Project

Mumbai's Bandra Bay is undergoing a major waterfront transformation, with Phase 1 of a new promenade already underway. The Bandra Municipal Corporation (BMC), in partnership with Godrej Properties Limited and RC Group, has begun work on unlocking underutilized bayfront land to create a vibrant, functional waterfront district. The Phase 1 development, named New Recreation And Green Spaces, will introduce a range of recreational amenities, including a bayside walking track, landscaped gardens, expansive lawns, and a lifestyle hub featuring a pet park, literature zone, and amphitheatre.

The transformation is expected to expand in subsequent phases, with plans for a mini-golf course and a dedicated activity and sports zone to further enhance the waterfront's recreational offerings. Bandra's waterfront, one of Mumbai's finest natural assets, holds the potential to become a vibrant community space, according to Vishwas Mote, Deputy Municipal Commissioner.

The development aims to provide spaces for people to walk, spend quality time with their families, and engage in various community activities. Rohit Mohan, Chief Design & Sustainability Officer at Godrej Properties, emphasized the focus on sustainability and thoughtful design, ensuring the creation of a durable, well-designed public realm that delivers lasting value to the neighborhood.

Anup Singh, Head – Design & Regulatory at RC Group, highlighted that community aspirations have been central to the design approach, envisioning the project as a new landmark and destination for the Bandra neighborhood.
