For years, Sewri was known mostly for its warehouses, docks and old industrial units. Not the kind of place that came to mind when you thought of luxury homes.
But over the last few years, things have started changing decisively. Today, Sewri is emerging as one of Mumbai’s most promising waterfront neighbourhoods, which is catching the attention of homebuyers and investors alike.
Sewri Mumbai: From Industrial Edge to Prime Residential Spot
Sewri’s transformation isn’t accidental. The city’s planners have big ideas for this area, and some major infrastructure projects are making those ideas real.
The Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) is perhaps the biggest game-changer. This 21.8 km sea-link starts at Sewri and will cut travel time to Navi Mumbai and the upcoming international airport to just 20 minutes. Sewri is literally becoming the gateway to the mainland.
On top of that, the Sewri-Worli Connector, an elevated road still under construction, will link Sewri directly to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link. Once complete, it will connect Mumbai’s eastern and western corridors seamlessly — something no other neighbourhood in the city can claim.
As Manju Yagnik, Vice Chairperson of Nahar Group, puts it, “The MTHL is not just a bridge; it’s a bridge to a brighter future for Mumbai and its neighbouring regions.”
Big Builders Have Already Noticed
When top developers put their money into a location, it usually means the market has strong potential. Sewri is seeing just that.
- Shapoorji Pallonji – With The Canvas Residences, they’ve set a standard for contemporary, quality construction.
- Lodha Group – Their upcoming ultra-luxury projects are creating benchmarks for high-end living in the area.
- Sobha Limited – Known for attention to detail and premium quality, Sobha’s entry signals homes for discerning buyers.
- Rustomjee – Their strategic investment adds credibility to Sewri’s long-term growth story.
The message is clear: Sewri is no longer a fringe area — it’s a place where serious builders see opportunity.
Prices That Still Make Sense
Right now, Sewri’s property rates are still relatively reasonable, hovering around ₹33,000–₹36,000 per sq. ft.. Compared to Worli or South Mumbai, this makes it a sweet spot for investors looking for growth potential.
With the MTHL fully operational and the Sewri-Worli Connector in place, experts expect 18–25% appreciation in the next few years. Sea-facing luxury homes close to these transport links are likely to be the first to see a jump in value.
Why Sewri Stands Out
Several factors make Sewri different from other Mumbai neighbourhoods:
- Connectivity – Direct access to South Mumbai, BKC, Navi Mumbai, and the new international airport.
- Waterfront Land Scarcity – Large plots with sea views are rare in Mumbai, and Sewri still has them.
- Government Support – Completed and ongoing projects like the MTHL and port redevelopment reduce investment risk and ensure long-term growth.
The Bigger Picture
Sewri isn’t trying to be the “next Worli.” It’s carving out its own identity as a hyper-connected waterfront neighbourhood. With scenic views, premium builders, and infrastructure that changes the way people move across the city, Sewri is redefining what it means to own a luxury home in Mumbai.
For homebuyers, it’s an opportunity to secure a waterfront home at pre-peak prices. For investors, it’s a chance to get in early, before Sewri fully realises its potential. Simply put, the time to look at Sewri is now.
