Indiabulls Sky Forest A2 vs A3 Tower — The Twin-Bull Decoder at Lower Parel
Indiabulls Sky Forest is a two-tower project — A2 and A3 — on a 1.31-acre Lower Parel plot off Senapati Bapat Marg. The towers rise 50 and 51 floors respectively and share the same podium club, the same RERA (P51900000467), the same developer (Indiabulls Real Estate), and the same OC-received status across most live inventory. But the two towers are not interchangeable. A2 is the smaller-format tower with a tighter, premium-priced cluster of compact 3 BHK plates trading at higher per-sqft. A3 is the larger-format tower carrying the bulk of Sky Forest's 3 BHK and 3.5 BHK inventory at materially lower per-sqft. Property Butler is currently tracking 2 live A2 tower units and 7 live A3 tower units (plus 7 additional Sky Forest plates where the tower was not specified in listing) — a 9-unit tower-tagged comparison pool that lets you decide A2 vs A3 with actual transaction data instead of brochure marketing.

A2 Tower — The Compact-Carpet Premium Stack
A2 is the smaller-footprint tower in Sky Forest's twin-bull configuration. Property Butler currently tracks two live A2 units — both 3 BHK — and they sit at very different points on the carpet ladder. The first is a 32nd-floor 1,500 sqft 3 BHK asking ₹15 Cr (carpet PSF ₹100,000), an outlier ask the seller has put up since the unit was substantially upgraded with fully-finished interiors and built-in modular work. The second is an ultra-high-floor (above 25th) 2,545 sqft 3 BHK asking ₹13 Cr. The carpet here is genuinely premium — at 2,545 sqft the unit prices around ₹51,000 carpet PSF, which is among the cheapest absolute PSFs in Sky Forest's live inventory but on a much larger plate. The A2 product positioning skews toward end-users who want a compact 3 BHK in a smaller-format tower with the same podium club but with shorter waiting lobbies and a more intimate floor-plate community. The premium asks here typically come from owners who upgraded post-handover, and the negotiation envelope on these plates is therefore narrower than A3 — sellers anchored their ask on their upgrade spend.
A3 Tower — The Volume Tower with the Real Negotiation Pool
A3 is the larger tower and carries the bulk of Sky Forest's transactable inventory. Property Butler tracks 7 live A3 units across the 11-36 floor range — five 3 BHK plates from 1,900 to 2,912 sqft, two 3.5 BHK plates at 2,499 sqft each — with asks from ₹9.5 Cr to ₹14 Cr. The A3 carpet PSF clusters at ₹34,300 to ₹53,200 on the 1,900-2,912 sqft 3 BHK plate and at ₹43,400 on the 2,499 sqft 3.5 BHK plate. This is materially cheaper per-sqft than A2's high-end ask, but a meaningful comparison: A3's live inventory carries larger absolute carpets, so the absolute ticket band is similar even though the PSF gradient is wider.
The standout A3 unit in today's pool is the 25th-floor 3 BHK at ₹10.85 Cr (2,499 sqft carpet, Open View, Bare Shell) — sub-₹11 Cr for an OC-received 3 BHK above the 25th floor in Lower Parel is a thin-supply ask that Property Butler classifies as the negotiation anchor of the building. The 36th-floor City View 3 BHK at ₹14 Cr++ (2,633 sqft, Fully Furnished) is the only fully-furnished live A3 unit today and is the right pick for buyers who do not want a 6-9 month interior build-out. The 11th-floor 3 BHK at ₹10 Cr++ (2,912 sqft Open View, Bare Shell) is the cheapest large-carpet entry into Sky Forest in the current market — sub-₹35,000 carpet PSF.
The Carpet PSF Spread — Why A2 Prices Higher Per Sqft
The most consequential decoder for an A2 vs A3 decision is the carpet-PSF spread:
| Tower | Floor | BHK | Carpet | Asking | Carpet PSF | Furnishing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A2 | 32 | 3 BHK | 1,500 | ₹15.00 Cr | ₹100,000 | Owner-finished |
| A2 | 25+ | 3 BHK | 2,545 | ₹13.00 Cr | ~₹51,100 | Semi furnished |
| A3 | 11 | 3 BHK | 2,912 | ₹10.00 Cr++ | ₹34,340 | Bare Shell |
| A3 | High Floor | 3 BHK | 1,900 | ₹9.50 Cr | ₹42,105 | Bare Shell |
| A3 | 17 | 3 BHK | 2,533 | ₹12.50 Cr++ | ₹49,348 | Semi furnished |
| A3 | 23 | 3.5 BHK | — | ₹12.00 Cr | — | Semi furnished |
| A3 | 25 | 3 BHK | 2,499 | ₹10.85 Cr | ₹43,417 | Bare Shell |
| A3 | 25 | 3.5 BHK | 2,499 | ₹10.85 Cr++ | ₹43,417 | Bare Shell |
| A3 | 36 | 3 BHK | 2,633 | ₹14.00 Cr++ | ₹53,171 | Fully Furnished |
Three patterns stand out. First, A2's compact 1,500 sqft plate trades at roughly 2x A3's typical PSF — that ₹15 Cr ask is an owner-upgrade premium, not a structural A2 tower premium. Second, A3's PSF gradient is wide (₹34,340 floor-11 to ₹53,171 floor-36), driven by both floor and furnishing. Third, the cheapest absolute PSF in the building today (₹34,340 on the 11th-floor A3 3 BHK) is in a Bare Shell unit — buyers who can carry a 6-9 month interior build budget get the best per-sqft entry, while buyers who need to move in tomorrow pay the furnishing premium that the ₹14 Cr Fully Furnished 36th-floor unit demonstrates.
The Twin-Tower Podium — Shared Amenity Stack
Both A2 and A3 share the same 1.31-acre podium club. The amenity stack includes a 17,500 sqft clubhouse, a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a state-of-the-art gym, a banquet hall, a multipurpose hall, a yoga and meditation studio, a kids' play area, a senior citizens' garden, and 24/7 concierge. The maintenance regime is shared across both towers — same society, same CAM, same vendor stack. That means your wing-versus-wing decision is purely about the carpet plate, the floor, the view, and the furnishing — not about amenity access.
Comparison vs Peer Buildings in Lower Parel
| Building | 3 BHK PSF | Configurations | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indiabulls Sky Forest — A3 | ₹34,300 - ₹53,200 | 3 BHK + 3.5 BHK | Larger carpet · cheaper entry · volume tower |
| Indiabulls Sky Forest — A2 | ~₹51,100 - ₹100,000 | 3 BHK only (live) | Compact tower · owner-upgraded plates |
| Sarvesh One Lower Parel | ₹50,000 - ₹62,000 | 2 + 3 BHK + Jodi | Newer launch · smaller scale |
| Lodha World One Lower Parel | ₹85,000 - ₹120,000 | 3 + 4 BHK | Worli border · global brand premium |
| Arihant Towers Lower Parel | ₹38,000 - ₹48,000 | 2 + 3 BHK | Boutique · single-tower · entry value |
Property Butler's locality benchmark for Lower Parel sits at ₹58,400 average carpet PSF with a five-year delta of +22.1 percent. A3 Tower's live PSF band of ₹34,300-53,200 is currently transacting below the locality average — meaningful because Sky Forest is an OC-received Indiabulls Real Estate project on a 1.31-acre plot with a full podium club. That sub-locality-average pricing reflects the larger carpet plates and the Bare Shell starting point of most A3 inventory, but the absolute structural quality and amenity stack are comparable to projects pricing 30 percent higher.
Who Should Buy A2 vs A3
BUY A2 IF
- You specifically want a compact 1,500 sqft 3 BHK plate and are willing to pay the owner-upgrade premium on a finished, ready-to-move unit
- You value smaller-format community living — fewer flats per floor, shorter waiting elevators
- Your ticket is ₹13 Cr+ and you do not want a Bare Shell unit (most A2 live inventory is at least Semi furnished)
- You are an end-user planning immediate move-in and the interior build time of an A3 Bare Shell is a deal-breaker
BUY A3 IF
- You want a larger absolute carpet (1,900-2,912 sqft) at materially lower per-sqft (₹34,300-53,200 carpet PSF)
- You can write a Bare Shell ticket and have a 6-9 month interior build budget — the entry PSF discount is real
- You want a 3.5 BHK — the 3.5 BHK plate is only live in A3
- You are an investor on rental yield — A3's larger carpet at lower PSF gives a better rental yield math (Lower Parel corporate tenants pay rent on usable area)
- You want the cheapest entry into Sky Forest — A3's 11th-floor 3 BHK at ₹10 Cr++ for 2,912 sqft is the structural bargain

Property Butler's Verdict
For most buyers, A3 is the right tower at Sky Forest today. The carpet PSF gap of ₹15,000-20,000 between A2 and A3 is real and it does not reflect a structural quality difference between the two towers — it reflects A2's smaller inventory pool currently anchored by owner-upgraded plates and A3's deeper Bare Shell pool that has more room to negotiate. If you can absorb a 6-9 month interior build, the 11th-floor A3 3 BHK at ₹10 Cr++ (2,912 sqft) is the standout bargain in the building. If you need fully-finished move-in, the 36th-floor A3 City View at ₹14 Cr is the right pick — and you avoid the A2 ₹15 Cr 1,500 sqft owner premium. The only reason to specifically chase A2 today is if you have already inspected the A2 fully-finished unit, like the interior spec, and the owner premium is worth more to you than the A3 Bare Shell discount plus your interior build cost. Negotiation envelope today: A3 plates have a 4-7 percent flexibility on quoted ask. A2 plates have a tighter 2-4 percent envelope. — Property Butler

Which tower at Sky Forest is cheaper per sqft — A2 or A3?
A3. A3's 3 BHK plates clear at ₹34,300 to ₹53,200 carpet PSF; A2's live plates trade higher (one at ₹100,000 PSF owner-upgraded, one at ~₹51,100 PSF on a 2,545 sqft larger plate). The PSF gap reflects A2's smaller inventory pool currently anchored by upgraded units.
What is the cheapest live 3 BHK at Indiabulls Sky Forest?
An A3 tower 3 BHK on the High Floor band at ₹9.5 Cr — 1,900 sqft carpet, Open View, Bare Shell, OC received. The 11th-floor A3 3 BHK at ₹10 Cr++ for 2,912 sqft gives a lower per-sqft entry.
Are both towers at Sky Forest OC received?
Yes. All live Property Butler inventory across A2 and A3 is OC received and physically ready to walk. RERA P51900000467 covers both towers. The 50-floor A2 tower and the 51-floor A3 tower share a common 1.31-acre podium and the same amenity stack.
Is there a 3.5 BHK at Indiabulls Sky Forest?
Yes — only in A3. Property Butler tracks 2 live 3.5 BHK plates, both 2,499 sqft carpet, on floors 23 and 25, asking ₹10.85 Cr to ₹12 Cr, Open View. The 3.5 BHK gives an extra study or pooja room without the price jump of a true 4 BHK.
Do A2 and A3 share the same amenity stack?
Yes. Both towers share the same 17,500 sqft clubhouse, swimming pool, gym, banquet, multipurpose hall, yoga studio, kids' play area, senior citizens' garden, and 24/7 concierge. Same society, same CAM, same vendor stack.
Which tower is better for rental yield at Sky Forest?
A3. Lower per-sqft entry on larger carpet plates gives a better rental yield math because Lower Parel corporate tenants pay rent on usable area, not on per-sqft basis. The A3 Bare Shell discount also gives owner-investors room to spec interiors to corporate rental standards efficiently.
