June 15 2011: Gulf Finance House Partners With Wadhwa Group For Mumbai Project
Since 2007, Global Finance House has spent $1 billion in buying 1,250 acre land for Mumbai Economic Development Zone.

Gulf Finance House BSC (GFH), the Bahrain-based Islamic investment bank which announced plans for $10 billion development projects in Mumbai, has now tied up with real estate developer Wadhwa Group to build a township in its place. In 2007, GFH had announced plans to set up Energy City Navi Mumbai (ECNM) and Mumbai IT & Telecom City (MITTIC) projects near Panvel in Mumbai.

“GFH and Wadhwa will together develop integrated homes, affordable housing, hotels and malls on the two sites, which hold a strategic location on the outskirts of Mumbai,” GFH said in a statement. A Bloomberg report stated that while GFH had spent $1 billion in buying 1,250 acre of land and getting permits, Wadhwa Group will invest another $1 billion for project development.

GFH had raised $630 million for Energy City India from its clients through a private placement that was oversubscribed back in 2007. The firm had also added plans for telecom city, software city and entertainment city with the entire development being called Mumbai Economic Development Zone. In July, 2008, its subsidiary Khaleeji Commercial Bank announced plans to raise $430 million for Global Logistix Navi Mumbai Investment Company to develop a 400 acre integrated logistics site in Navi Mumbai.

A DNA report said that 10 million square feet out of the envisaged total development area of 80-90 million square feet will be given to GFH as a part of this transaction. The rest will be with the Wadhwa group who can either lease or sell the built-up area.

“Our first priority is completion of our existing projects and exiting our investors. During this year, we are planning and targeting a number of exits and some key developments. Our initial plan to subdivide the Mumbai land and sell to sub-developers at early stage was difficult to achieve due to market changes post-financial crises. We recognised this and revised our strategy in partnership with Wadhwa to develop the project in phases and complete units for direct sale,” said Esam Yousif Janahi, executive chairman of GFH.

I like how they are giving priority to pedestrians on the streets. It is really needed in India! When is the estimated completion date of the project?

^ No date has been offered but it's supposed to be completed in phases in like 30 years.

This is HOK's design for L&T's upcoming Seawoods station development:

HOK’s client, L+T Realty, wants Seawoods Station to be India’s “largest and best-planned transit-oriented development.”

The project is a 6.5 million-square-foot mixed-use development built over the national railway Seawoods Station in Navi Mumbai.

The mixed-use development is designed to become an iconic lifestyle center. It includes 1.5 million square feet of world-class retail space, 3.1 million square feet of Class A office space, 1.4 million square feet of parking and support space, and a 520,000-square-foot rail station. It is expected to draw domestic and international companies to conduct business in Navi Mumbai.

If we don't have a thread, can we create one for this since this is upcoming. Hopefully with CG, Fuwad, Savz, and Prawns, we can regular updates for this.

[IU]

I don't know the current status of the project but once we have a construction pic, then a new thread can be created. My only concern is that the towers aren't that tall and this NM thread isn't really seeing many posts, so...maybe we can just use this thread?

I'll go with whatever the folks here want.
