On Mumbai’s Carter Road, a rare moment of architectural reflection is underway. Taj Villa a 20th-century coastal bungalow, long part of the neighbourhood’s historic fabric, is being restored and redeveloped by JSW Realty.
In a city where redevelopment often means starting afresh, this approach stands apart. JSW Realty’s plan preserves the bungalow in its original character, allowing it to coexist with a contemporary structure designed for modern living.
The initiative reflects a growing awareness that urban renewal can embrace history rather than erase it.
Mumbai’s constant evolution leaves little space for stillness or continuity. Yet this project demonstrates how thoughtful development can bridge that gap giving old architecture a new life and relevance.
