Sayba Spaces Selected for Redevelopment of Kurla's Taximen's Colony Housing Complex

The 8.5-acre Bombay Taximen's Cooperative Society housing complex in Kurla West, comprising 29 buildings with 656 flats and 30 shops, is set for redevelopment after multiple failed attempts since 2005. The managing committee shortlisted Sayba Spaces Pvt Ltd, a company claiming 15 years of experience and offering 36 months' rent upfront, as the top bidder over established firms Runwal and Chandak. The selection was based on legal, financial, and technical criteria, with a general body meeting scheduled to endorse the decision.
