Suraj Estate Developers Limited, a company that has been ranked among the top five real estate developers in South Central Mumbai, has launched One Business Bay, its first flagship commercial project. With its first step into the commercial real estate segment, the iconic development covers an area of more than 200,000 sq. ft. and has a gross development value of approximately ₹1,200 crore.
The local real estate regulator in Maharashtra has given formal approval to the project with MahaRERA No. PC1170002501460, thus indicating the project's readiness from a regulatory perspective and giving more trust to this significant move of expansion.

Dwelling at the crossroad of Senapati Bapat Marg, the project is located in a place that rightly has been termed as highly interlinked and reachable. The links make it possible for the project to fit into the business hubs that are the core of Mumbai and can be easily reached using the Central and Western railway networks, the Sitladevi Metro Aqua Line and the arterial roads such as Tulsi Pipe Road. Moreover, the project being close to Dadar, Prabhadevi, Lower Parel and the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) will allow the developers to access one of the most in-demand commercial areas of the city.
In addition to this, the BKC–Senapati Bapat Marg Connector, the route which will offer direct connectivity to the Western Express Highway and Mumbai’s domestic and international airports, will make Mahim the new center for commercial activities in the near future and will further increase the importance of the location of the project.
The introduction of One Business Bay is Suraj Estate’s intentional and strategic venture into large-format commercial development. While the company may be best known for its residential and redevelopment work in South Central Mumbai, it has also accomplished institutional landmark structures of high repute, among them Saraswat Bank Bhavan in Prabhadevi and CCIL Headquarters in Dadar—both of which have become influential business address.
In essence, One Business Bay is a continuation of such legacy with an eco-friendly contemporary design created by the acclaimed architect Hafeez Contractor. The development will consist of 182 thoughtfully conceptualized business units, complemented by curated retail spaces, cafés, dining offering, and a sprawling double-height E-Deck slated to be the breakout place of collaboration and recreation.
The internal structural design of the building will include two basement levels, a grand double-height entrance lobby, eight levels of podium parking, and fourteen dedicated office floors with a floor-to-floor height of 14 feet. In addition to that, the building will have high-speed destination-controlled elevators to improve operational efficiency. Each office floor will have from 11 to 15 units varying in size of a business. The project has been designed as an integrated environment suitable for modern companies and investors seeking a future-ready address with the focus on efficient layout, high-end finishing, and office wellness.
One Business Bay is packed with the latest green-building features from around the world, and in keeping with this, there are various advanced sustainability components incorporated such as double-glazed UV-protected façades, energy-efficient air-conditioning systems, and top-notch air-filtration mechanisms. All these are being created to lessen the building’s operational loads and enhance its environmental profile. The undertaking is set to earn the Gold LEED certification, which is a testament to Suraj Estate’s pledge to green development.
With regard to the market, the project is staged as a definite strata-sale model that extends the option of smaller units and larger floor plate demands to the buyers.
