Where Exactly Is Bandra Reclamation?
Bandra Reclamation lies on the sea-facing side of Bandra West. To the south and west is the water – the stretch many people now call Bandra Bay – and the approach road of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. To the east is the Bandra station area, and to the north are the better-known parts of Bandra West: Hill Road, Linking Road, Bandstand and Carter Road.
That position is the main reason people buy here. You are on the edge of the city’s road network, so cross-city trips start quickly, yet you are still inside Bandra West, with its shops, restaurants, schools and hospitals a short drive away. For travel routes in detail, see our Bandra Reclamation location and connectivity guide.
Why Is It Called Bandra Reclamation?
Like several parts of Mumbai, this land was once part of the sea and was reclaimed to create space for roads and buildings. The name simply stuck. For buyers, it has two practical effects: the area is flatter and more planned than the older lanes of Bandra, and the waterfront position means some homes can face the sea – although whether a specific flat has a sea view depends on the exact tower, floor and direction, so always check the unit itself.

What Is Changing at Bandra Reclamation?
See what has been reported about the planned Bandra Bay promenade.
The Bandra Bay promenade (reported)
According to news reports from 7 October 2026, Godrej Properties, the BMC and RC Group are to build Phase 1 of a public waterfront promenade at Bandra Bay, with a walking track, landscaped lawns and a community hub. A Phase 2 is reported to add mini golf and sports zones. No completion dates have been announced, and the promenade is a public space – it is not part of any residential project. We track it in our Godrej Bandra Reclamation latest update.
Redevelopment and new launches
New large homes are rare in established Bandra West, because most land is already built up. That is why new launches here get attention well before they open for booking. Alongside Godrej Bandra Bay, buyers who like this area also look at Adani Bandra Reclamation. Older buildings in the area are also being redeveloped over time, so check what is planned next to any home you shortlist – it can affect views, light and construction noise for years.
For road and metro projects around the area, read our Bandra Reclamation infrastructure guide.
Homes and Prices in Bandra Reclamation
Homes here range from flats in older societies to large new apartments in luxury towers, so prices vary widely and one “rate per sq ft” for the whole area can mislead. Compare a specific home with similar homes – same age, size, floor and view. Our guide to Bandra Reclamation property prices explains why figures online disagree and how to check registered prices yourself.
At the luxury end, Godrej Bandra Bay offers 4 BHK homes only, approx. 2,900–3,500 sq ft*, starting from ₹29 Cr*, on a land parcel of approx. 2.75 acres*. The possession date and MahaRERA registration are not yet confirmed on this website – see what is confirmed about the project. For another summary of the project, see the Godrej Bandra Reclamation property page.

Who Is Bandra Reclamation Best For?
- Families who want space in Bandra West – new projects here focus on large homes, which are hard to find in older parts of Bandra.
- Professionals working in BKC, Worli or South Mumbai – the Sea Link and BKC are close.
- Buyers upgrading within Bandra – you keep your neighbourhood, schools and routines.
- Less ideal if you want a quiet, low-rise lane (consider Pali Hill) or the lowest possible price per sq ft.
How to Check Bandra Reclamation Before You Buy
- Visit on a weekday at peak hours and drive your real office and school routes.
- Walk the waterfront and the streets around your shortlisted building in the evening.
- Ask what is planned on neighbouring plots – redevelopment can change views and light.
- Check the exact tower, floor and direction of the unit if a sea view matters to you.
- Confirm the project’s MahaRERA registration before paying anything – our booking checklist lists the documents to ask for.
