The most-asked Lower Parel buyer query in Property Butler's WhatsApp logs across the past 6 months: "can I get a decent 2 BHK in Lower Parel under ₹4 Cr?" The honest answer is yes — but only across roughly 20-25 active resale listings out of the 80+ Lower Parel 2 BHKs Property Butler tracks. The sub-₹4 Cr band sits at ₹36,000 – ₹42,000 / sqft on 850 – 1,000 sqft carpet plates — meaningfully below the Lower Parel median (₹47,038 PSF). This is the entry-tier playbook for the band.
The 30-second answer
Sub-₹4 Cr Lower Parel 2 BHK stock concentrates in three buildings: Lodha Vista (lower-band), Sarvesh One (jodi 1+1 configurations) and a handful of older Marathon NextGen units. Outside these three, the math does not work. Knowing this prevents you from spending six weekends viewing buildings that will never come in under your budget.
The market reality, May 2026
Property Butler tracks 80+ active 2 BHK listings in Lower Parel with a median asking PSF of ₹43,500. The configuration band runs roughly:
- 820 – 950 sqft carpet 2 BHK: the most liquid sub-segment. Median ask ~₹3.6 – 4.0 Cr.
- 950 – 1,150 sqft carpet 2 BHK: mid-tier. Median ask ~₹4.2 – 5.0 Cr.
- 1,150 – 1,400 sqft carpet 2 BHK: larger plates. Median ask ₹5.2 – 6.5 Cr.
The sub-₹4 Cr ceiling means you are shopping the smallest segment, the lowest-band floors, or the buildings that price below the corridor median for structural reasons (density, finishing, location within the corridor).
The three buildings where sub-₹4 Cr stock actually exists
| Building | Carpet (typical sub-₹4 Cr) | Asking PSF | Ticket band | Active listings under ₹4 Cr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lodha Vista (lower-band) | 820 – 980 sqft | ₹36,000 – ₹42,000 | ₹3.0 – 4.0 Cr | 8 – 10 |
| Sarvesh One (1+1 jodi) | 880 – 1,020 sqft | ₹38,000 – ₹43,000 | ₹3.4 – 4.0 Cr | 3 – 5 |
| Marathon NextGen (older block) | 880 – 1,000 sqft | ₹36,000 – ₹40,000 | ₹3.2 – 4.0 Cr | 3 – 4 |
| Boutique resale (mixed) | 700 – 850 sqft | ₹38,000 – ₹46,000 | ₹2.8 – 3.9 Cr | 5 – 8 |
| Lodha World Crest (rare lower band) | N/A | N/A | No 2 BHK supply | 0 |
Building 1: Lodha Vista — the deepest sub-₹4 Cr inventory
The widest sub-₹4 Cr stock in Lower Parel sits inside Lodha Vista. 8-10 active 2 BHK listings under ₹4 Cr at any given time, all in the lower 18 floors of the tower. Carpet 820-980 sqft, asking PSF ₹36,000 – ₹42,000.
Why the sub-₹4 Cr supply exists here: the building is dense (6-8 apartments per floor in the lower band), the floor-plate efficiency is moderate, and the lower-band views are partially blocked by neighbouring towers. None of these reduce the address quality — you still have the Lodha brand, the SVR Marg location, walk-to-Phoenix access — but they do compress PSF below the corridor median.
What to verify: floor band (target 11-18 for the best balance), parking allotment (1 slot for 2 BHK as standard), pending society dues, and the actual lift wait at school-bus pickup time (foyer crowding can be material on lower floors). Property Butler's full Lodha Vista review covers the floor-band PSF math in detail.
Building 2: Sarvesh One — the 1+1 jodi alternative
Sarvesh One is a boutique Lower Parel project that sells primarily as 1 BHK and 1+1 BHK jodi (combinable) configurations. The jodi format — two adjacent 1 BHK plates that can be combined into a 2 BHK living unit — gives a 880-1,020 sqft carpet end-result at sub-₹4 Cr ticket.
The trade-off: a jodi is structurally two separate apartments combined post-OC. This means you have two separate apartment numbers, two registration documents, two parking allotments — but a single living layout. Resale liquidity is decent because the 1+1 jodi can be sold either as a combined 2 BHK or as two separate 1 BHKs depending on the next buyer's needs.
Property Butler's jodi-flat economics guide covers the registration, stamp-duty and resale mechanics in full. For a buyer with a 3-5 year horizon and limited stock at the sub-₹4 Cr ticket size, this is a structurally underrated entry.
Building 3: Marathon NextGen older block
The original Marathon NextGen tower (not the newer Marathon Next Gen Era) has a small handful of resale 2 BHKs at sub-₹4 Cr in its lower bands. The building is older (OC roughly 2010), the finishing tier is dated, and the amenity stack is functional but not premium. Asking PSF ₹36,000 – ₹40,000 for 880-1,000 sqft 2 BHKs.
For end-users willing to invest ₹15-25 lakh in fit-out and refresh, this is the cheapest entry into the Lower Parel address. Resale velocity is moderate — 90-130 days median time on market. The tenant pool for rentals is healthy because the building is walkable to Lower Parel station and Phoenix.
Boutique resale — the wildcard pool
Lower Parel has roughly 12-15 smaller boutique buildings that occasionally throw up sub-₹4 Cr 2 BHK listings at 700-850 sqft carpet. These are typically older society redevelopment projects with 6-8 storey heights, no centralised AC, and basic amenity. PSF tends to be higher per sqft (₹38,000-46,000) but the smaller carpet keeps the total ticket under ₹4 Cr.
Tradeoff: resale liquidity is weaker, the building brand recognition is low, and the buyer pool for resale is structurally thin. For pure end-user with no resale optionality requirement, these can work. For investors or buyers expecting to upsize within 3-5 years, skip.

The total cost reality — what ₹4 Cr asking actually costs
A ₹4 Cr asking-price 2 BHK in Lower Parel does not become ₹4 Cr out of your bank account. Property Butler's typical end-user cost stack:
| Cost item | % / Amount | On ₹4 Cr asking |
|---|---|---|
| Asking price (less negotiation) | 95% (5% close discount) | ₹3.80 Cr |
| Stamp duty (6%) | 6% of agreement value | ₹22.80 lakh |
| Registration (1%) | 1% of agreement value, capped | ₹30,000 (cap) |
| GST (resale — nil) | Nil on resale | ₹0 |
| TDS deposit (1%) | 1% of sale value to seller | ₹3.80 lakh |
| Society transfer + legal | Lump sum | ₹1.5 – 2.5 lakh |
| Brokerage (1% typical) | 1% of sale value | ₹3.80 lakh |
| Fit-out budget (typical) | ₹1,200 / sqft x 950 sqft | ₹11.4 lakh |
| All-in cost | ₹4.24 Cr |
The all-in cost on a ₹4 Cr asking is roughly ₹4.20 – 4.30 Cr. If your true budget is ₹4 Cr all-in, your effective shopping band is asking-price ₹3.6 – 3.8 Cr. Property Butler's real buyer cost guide covers the full breakdown including the GST treatment on under-construction stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really get a 2 BHK under ₹4 Cr in Lower Parel?
Yes, but the universe is small. Property Butler tracks roughly 20-25 active sub-₹4 Cr 2 BHK listings in Lower Parel out of 80+ total 2 BHK listings. The supply concentrates in three buildings (Lodha Vista lower-band, Sarvesh One 1+1 jodi, older Marathon NextGen) plus some boutique resale. Outside this universe, you cannot find sub-₹4 Cr 2 BHKs in Lower Parel.
What is the all-in cost on a ₹4 Cr asking 2 BHK?
Roughly ₹4.20 – 4.30 Cr including stamp duty (6%), registration, TDS, society transfer, brokerage, and basic fit-out. A typical close discount of 5% on the asking takes the actual purchase to ₹3.80 Cr, against which you load the transaction costs.
Should I consider Parel or Mahalaxmi instead?
Worth evaluating. Parel proper has wider sub-₹3.5 Cr 2 BHK supply with comparable connectivity (Lower Parel station is 8 minutes by foot from most Parel addresses). Mahalaxmi trades 5-10% above Lower Parel for 2 BHKs because of the racecourse proximity and better post-monsoon water levels. The address branding differs — Lower Parel is the more recognised commercial corridor, Mahalaxmi has slightly more residential character.
Is a 1+1 jodi a real 2 BHK?
Functionally yes, legally two apartments. The jodi format takes two adjacent 1 BHK plates and combines them into a single living layout (typically by removing one wall and merging the kitchens). You get two separate apartment numbers, two registration documents, two CAM bills — but live in it as one 2 BHK. Resale flexibility is the key advantage: future buyers can buy as a combined 2 BHK or as two separate 1 BHKs.
How much rent can I get on a sub-₹4 Cr Lower Parel 2 BHK?
Furnished sub-₹4 Cr 2 BHKs in Lodha Vista typically rent at ₹1.4 – 1.8 lakh / month. On a ₹3.8 Cr purchase, that is a gross yield of 4.4 – 5.7%, net 3.0 – 4.0% after CAM and brokerage. Vacancy risk is low because the address is walkable to Phoenix, Kamala Mills and Lower Parel station — the three demand drivers in this corridor.
