hey guys, i need some urgent info on loft conversions happening in mumbai. i was assured there are quite a few of em there. i cant locate any tho. big dilemma. pls help! desparate.
i don't think there are really all that many loft conversions around. mostly because it's usually easier to tear the old warehouse down and rebuild from scratch, rather that reuse them. i can't think of any besides the ones at phoenix mills. you're going to have a hard time...
besides the lower parel area, you might find something in the byculla/mazgaon/lalbagh/cotton green part of town, but i can't give you anything more conclusive than that...
u can contact the local chapters of both INTBAU and INTACH and latch on to their mailing list. Also Prince of Wales foundation patronizes (!) a lot of research etc on mill revitalization in Mumbai.
why don't you contact somebody at the UDRI here in bombay? they might be able to help you. http://www.udri.org
also, you might want to take a look at the Leo Burnett office in Parel. that wasn't exactly a loft conversion, but it was constructed in an existing mill/warehouse. it's been published in quite a few issues of indian architect & builder magazine. you'll have to look up the back issues for the last couple of years to find photos...

check out info on the phoenix mills. try google. i think its available on your computer.
that thread was posted after a lot of googling.
phoenix mills and the other mills along the rail line are being converted or likely will be in the near future.

When you say loft conversions, do you necessarily mean residential?
