Redevelopment Law

Guidance for landowners, developers, and cooperative housing societies through the entire redevelopment process — from the first society resolution to final possession.

What This Covers

  • Feasibility review and guidance at the society resolution stage
  • Appointment and oversight of PMC (Project Management Consultant) and architects
  • Drafting and vetting of Development Agreements and Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreements (PAAA)
  • Coordinating regulatory approvals and NOCs
  • Protecting member and tenant rights throughout construction
  • Final possession, conveyance, and handover documentation

Who This Is For

Cooperative housing societies weighing a redevelopment proposal, individual landowners negotiating with developers, and developers seeking a legally sound, dispute-free process from start to finish.

Our Approach

Redevelopment in Mumbai and Thane can stretch over years and involve dozens of stakeholders — society members, developers, architects, and regulatory bodies. Advocate Prasad Kanekar's three decades of hands-on experience means disputes are anticipated and addressed before they stall a project, and every agreement is vetted to protect the interests of the families involved, not just the timeline.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a typical redevelopment process take?
Timelines vary by project, but most redevelopment processes take 3–5 years from society resolution to final possession, depending on approvals and construction.
Who should review our development agreement?
The society's own appointed advocate — not just the PMC or the developer's legal team — should independently review the agreement to protect member interests.
What happens if the developer delays possession?
A well-drafted agreement should include penalty clauses for delays. We help societies negotiate these terms upfront, before signing.
