Omkar Realtors Rehab Home Delivery Commences at Dhobi Ghat

The Dhobi Ghat area supports a thriving economy, with an estimated annual turnover of around Rs 125 crore from the dhobi business. While many locals earn their livelihood from this traditional enterprise, technological advancements and increased mechanisation have led the younger generation to explore other opportunities. Modern dhobis are adopting eco-friendly practices and acquiring skills that conserve water and promote health. With Omkar Group Promoters elevating living standards for these specialists, the future holds promise and progress.

Omkar Realtors, a well-known real estate developer in Mumbai, has achieved a significant milestone in the field of Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) housing. They have begun delivering rehabilitative homes in the world's tallest rehabilitation towers located at the iconic Dhobi Ghat in Mahalaxmi, Mumbai. This marks a momentous step for around 1,000 families, as they move into their new residences. Phase 1 of the ambitious Saibaba Nagar project in Mahalaxmi not only includes housing units but also features 19 retail establishments. This initial phase involves two towers and accommodates approximately 5,000 residents from neighbouring societies around Dhobi Ghat.

This endeavour falls under the Maharashtra government's visionary slum rehabilitation plan and is set to eventually house around 16,000 slum residents across multiple phases. Dhobi Ghat, a globally recognized location, is one of the largest open-air laundries worldwide, with many locals employed in laundry-related services. The project covers 12 expansive acres of prime land in the upscale Mahalaxmi area of south Mumbai. Notably, the luxury housing units offer stunning views of the prestigious racecourse and the Arabian Sea.

A strategic partnership between Omkar Realtors and Developers and Piramal Realty has given rise to this transformative project, which primarily aims to uplift the lives of dhobis and individuals involved in related activities. Despite being situated more than 150 meters away from the heritage Dhobi Ghat, the project is dedicated to maintaining the area's unique charm.

This comprehensive slum rehabilitation initiative sets a new standard for redevelopment by emphasising state-of-the-art construction methods. The development allocates space for welfare centres, society offices, and educational facilities. The project includes four towers, all equipped with 16 elevators from the renowned German brand Schindler.

Under the leadership of Babulal Varma, the Owner of Omkar Realtors, the company has made a distinctive mark in slum redevelopment. Their recent achievement further demonstrates their commitment to delivering high-quality projects. With over 3,000 houses completed in the Bhoiwada project in Parel-Sewri and more than 16,000 houses in the SRA sector over the past decade, they have significantly contributed to the city's urban transformation.
