History
In 1986, the Hiranandani group signed a tripartite agreement between the group, the state of Maharashtra, and the MMRDA for developing {{convert|230|acre|order=flip}} of land and for constructing affordable housing. The contract was signed at the rate of {{INRConvert|0.40|p|1|no|year=1986|lk=r}} per acre or {{INRConvert|{{convert|0.4|/acre|disp=number}}|p|1|no|year=1986|lk=r}} {{convert|0.4|/acre|disp=unit2|abbr=off}}. As per the contract, the real estate developer was to construct apartments measuring {{cvt|430|ft2|m2|0|order=flip}} and {{cvt|861|ft2|m2|0|order=flip}} (50% each) as "Medium Income Group Homes" (affordable housing).{{cite news|title=Hiranandani cant build small homes on plots|work=The Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/HC-Hiranandani-cant-build-small-homes-on-plot-having-buildings/articleshow/47571020.cms}}{{cite news|title=Hiranandani cant build on open spaces|work=Mumbai Mirror|url=http://www.mumbaimirror.com/mumbai/others/Hiranandani-cant-build-on-open-spaces-says-HC/articleshow/45984160.cms}}
Construction started in 1989, when the area was barren and hilly. The area lacked basic infrastructure such as roads, sanitary sewer lines, water or electrical connections. Along with developing the basic infrastructure, more than 100,000 trees were also planted. By the early 1990s the first phase of apartments were ready and were initially sold at the rate of {{INRConvert|{{convert|500|/sqft|disp=number}}|p|1|no|year=1990}} {{convert|500|/sqft|disp=unit2|abbr=off}} or {{INRConvert|500|r|1|no|to=USD|year=1990}} per square foot.
