Bangalore: Earlier, to buy a one bedroom apartment or a car, rs30 lakh was more than enough. But in today’s date, such amount may hardly been enough to get a parking space in an apartment. Developers are quoting high rates for parking space in Mumbai’s ultra-luxury residential buildings and the price starts from rs7 lakh to rs40 lakh, reports Times of India.

New luxury residential buildings are charging whopping price for parking spaces in Mumbai’s Nepean Sea Road to Wadala, known as costliest streets in India. However, year old buildings like Samudra Mahal in Worli demand rs80 lakh to rs1 crore for closed parking space in Mumbai. Previously, such parking spaces would be offered under price bracket of rs5 lakh to rs15 lakh.

“Space crunch is one of the main reasons that costs are high, especially in south Mumbai where majority of the buildings do not have a car parking space,” said Nikhil Bhatia, western region head of property consultants CBRE.

Pujit Agarwal, managing director of Orbit Corporation stated that “Under the newly approved Maharashtra Ownership of Flats Act, we are permitted to sell parking spaces. Depending on the location and the kind of project we are developing, we incur costs to build these car spaces and then install machinery and state-of-the-art elevators for the residents, who want a certain quality product. Developers naturally will recover the cost from flat buyers,” reports TOI.
