25 South in Prabhadevi is the most architecturally distinctive luxury tower on the Worli-Prabhadevi seafront — the curved-glass facade visible from Worli Sea Face is the project. Property Butler tracks 14 active listings across the building (7 listed under "Hubtown 25 South", 7 under "Wadhwa 25 South" — same project, two co-developer naming conventions). Asking band: ₹58,000 – ₹1,15,000 / sqft. Configurations 3 BHK, 4 BHK, 5 BHK and a small handful of duplex penthouses. The single most-asked-about Prabhadevi address that almost no broker reviews honestly.
The naming confusion, resolved
25 South is one project, jointly developed by The Wadhwa Group and Hubtown Limited. The same building gets listed as "Wadhwa 25 South", "Hubtown 25 South" or just "25 South" depending on which co-developer the listing originates from. There is no Phase 2, no separate tower — it is a single 40-floor building on Annie Besant Road.
The project, structurally
25 South sits on roughly 1.6 acres on Annie Besant Road (the seaward extension of the Worli sea-face arc that curves into Prabhadevi proper). It was launched in 2010, structurally completed by 2018, OC-received in 2020, and has now been in full residential operation for over 5 years. The building is 40 floors tall and stacks 2-4 apartments per floor depending on the configuration mix on each plate.
The architectural signature is the curved sea-facing facade with floor-to-ceiling glazing across the entire western wall of every apartment. This is not marketing language — the curtain wall genuinely runs floor-to-ceiling in the living and master bedroom of every west-facing unit. From the inside, an upper-floor 4 BHK gives you a 180-degree sea panorama from Mahalaxmi racecourse to Bandra-Worli Sea Link to the Worli skyline. There is no equivalent view band in any Prabhadevi tower.
| Configuration | Carpet (sqft) | Asking PSF | Total ticket | Active listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK | 1,750 – 2,150 | ₹58,000 – ₹82,000 | ₹10.2 – 17.6 Cr | 5 |
| 4 BHK | 2,800 – 3,650 | ₹68,000 – ₹95,000 | ₹19.0 – 34.7 Cr | 7 |
| 5 BHK | 4,200 – 4,800 | ₹78,000 – ₹1,05,000 | ₹32.8 – 50.4 Cr | 2 |
| Duplex penthouse | 5,800+ | ₹95,000 – ₹1,15,000 | ₹55 Cr+ | 0 – 1 (rare) |
Why 25 South commands a 40-55% PSF premium to the Prabhadevi median
Property Butler's tracked Prabhadevi median sale PSF is ₹54,963. 25 South trades at 1.4x to 2.1x the median. Three structural reasons:
- The curtain-wall sea panorama. No other Prabhadevi address offers floor-to-ceiling glazing across the entire western face. Closest competitor is Rustomjee Crown, but that gets sea view from the front rooms only. At 25 South, you get sea view from the master bedroom, kitchen, dining and even a corner of the powder bath in some plates.
- Address scarcity. Annie Besant Road has a small handful of luxury seafront plots and most are still under-construction or pre-launch. 25 South is the only ready-to-move ultra-luxury option on this specific micro-stretch with OC.
- Configuration size. 4 BHKs at 25 South are 2,800-3,650 sqft carpet — meaningfully larger than 4 BHKs at Rustomjee Crown (2,400-3,000) or Lodha Grandeur (2,200-2,800). Buyers shopping 4 BHK above 3,000 sqft carpet on the Prabhadevi seafront have very limited substitutes.
The premium is not arbitrary; it is the clearance price for a structurally rare combination: floor-to-ceiling sea panorama + 3,000+ sqft carpet + OC-received seafront on Annie Besant Road. There are perhaps 30-40 apartments in all of Prabhadevi that satisfy all three criteria, and a meaningful fraction sit inside this single building.
What you actually get on hand-over
25 South was finished at a higher specification than the Prabhadevi luxury median. Standard hand-over includes:
- Imported Italian marble flooring across living, dining and circulation
- Hardwood flooring in master and secondary bedrooms
- Fully-fitted modular kitchen with island, German hardware
- VRF / VRV centralised AC system with individual zone control
- Hansgrohe and Duravit bath fittings as standard, Toto fixtures in master
- Walk-in dressing room in master (in 4 BHK and above)
- Laundry / utility room with stacked washer-dryer space
- Servant quarter with separate bath in 4 BHK and 5 BHK plates
What requires post-hand-over work: smart-home automation, full home theatre wiring, custom wardrobe interiors. Budget ₹1,500 – ₹2,200 / sqft for a typical fit-out on top of the purchase. So a 3,200 sqft 4 BHK at ₹25 Cr typical asking adds roughly ₹48 – 70 lakh of fit-out before move-in.
Amenity stack
✓ What works at 25 South
- Sea-facing infinity pool on the 6th floor podium
- Spa with steam, sauna, two treatment rooms
- Fully-equipped gym, ~3,200 sqft, sea-facing
- Banquet hall with separate prep kitchen
- Indoor games + library + screening room
- 2-minute walk to Worli Sea Face promenade
- 10-minute drive to BKC via Worli-Prabhadevi flyover
× The trade-offs to price in
- CAM is ₹32 – ₹38 / sqft / month — high but in line with peers
- No on-site F&B beyond pool snack bar
- Annie Besant Road has limited grocery / daily-needs stops
- East-facing apartments (1-2 per floor) miss the sea view entirely
- Curtain wall + west exposure = serious afternoon heat load (verify AC bill)
- Co-developer JV structure means society management has dual touchpoints
Floor-band and view economics
The view-band reality is more straightforward at 25 South than at most Prabhadevi towers because the entire west face is sea-facing without obstruction:
- Floors 6 – 15: sea view from 6th floor onwards (above the podium). Lower band so partial view of the seafront promenade and adjacent low-rise rooftops. PSF at ₹58,000 – ₹68,000.
- Floors 16 – 28: clean sea horizon view, includes Bandra-Worli Sea Link and Worli skyline. Most active band — PSF ₹68,000 – ₹82,000.
- Floors 29 – 38: high band, panoramic sea view including Mahalaxmi racecourse and BKC skyline. PSF ₹82,000 – ₹1,00,000.
- Floors 39 – 40 (penthouses): ultra-rare, 360-degree, includes Marine Drive arc visibility on clear days. PSF ₹1,00,000 – ₹1,15,000.
East-facing apartments (the 1-2 per plate that don't get sea exposure) trade at a 22-30% PSF discount to their west-facing counterparts on the same floor — meaningfully steeper than the typical Prabhadevi internal-vs-sea discount of 15-20%. This is because at 25 South, the entire selling proposition is the sea-facade glass — an east-facing unit defeats the project's main feature.

| Configuration / band | Median time on market | Avg discount to ask | Annual closes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK sea-facing 16-28 | 85 – 120 days | 4 – 6% | 5 – 7 |
| 4 BHK sea-facing 16-28 | 75 – 110 days | 3 – 5% | 5 – 8 |

| East-facing (any config) | 160 – 240 days | 8 – 13% | 1 – 2 |
The 4 BHK sea-facing band above the 16th floor is the single most liquid stock in this building — faster median time on market than the 3 BHK because the buyer pool at ₹19-34 Cr competes for very limited Prabhadevi seafront 4 BHK supply.

Frequently Asked Questions
Wadhwa 25 South vs Hubtown 25 South — what's the difference?
No difference. They are the same single project, jointly developed by The Wadhwa Group and Hubtown Limited. The two names appear in listings depending on which co-developer's marketing the listing came from. The building, the apartments, the amenity, the address are identical.
Is 25 South the same as 25 West?
No. 25 West is a separate Wadhwa project on a different plot. 25 South sits on Annie Besant Road in Prabhadevi. Confirm the project name and RERA registration before any token deposit.
How is the building's structural and OC documentation?
OC was received in 2020. All resale apartments now in the market are OC-received. Standard diligence: verify OC copy, pending society dues on the specific apartment, and the joint developer indemnity clauses on the original sale deed (relevant for the 4 BHK and above ticket sizes given the JV structure).
What is the parking allotment?
3 BHKs are allotted 2 parking slots, 4 BHKs get 3, and 5 BHK / penthouses get 4-5. Some upper-band 4 BHK and 5 BHK plates have stack parking allocations — verify in writing whether your slots are independent or stacked. Additional slots can be purchased from sellers at ₹30-45 lakh subject to approval.
How is the AC load given the curtain-wall design?
Real consideration. The west-facing curtain wall absorbs 4-5 hours of direct afternoon sun in summer. The VRV system handles the load, but power consumption in summer months is roughly 30-40% higher than at a comparable standard-window apartment. Ask the seller for last summer's electricity bills for the specific apartment — if they decline, that itself is a data point.
Can I get a rental at 25 South?
Yes, but supply is thin. Property Butler typically tracks 2-3 active rentals at any time. 4 BHK furnished sea-facing rentals run ₹6 – 9 lakh / month. 3 BHK furnished sea-facing rentals run ₹4 – 5.5 lakh / month. Property Butler can flag off-market rental options on brief.

There is no equivalent supply on Annie Besant Road or anywhere else in Prabhadevi at OC-received status. The building is not the cheapest seafront option, the CAM is not the lowest, the AC bill in summer is not friendly — but the view band and configuration size combination is structurally rare. Sea-facing 4 BHK between the 16th and 38th floor is the buyer-fit answer almost every time. East-facing apartments at any floor band, regardless of price discount, undermine the entire reason this building exists.
