Why Colaba Commands a Premium
Colaba rental prices seem high for the building quality — but the address commands a premium for diplomats, consulate staff, maritime industry executives and legacy South Mumbai families. Sea Kunal Waterfront Tower (₹37 Cr for a 3BHK sale) sets the luxury ceiling; most of the market is older heritage buildings at ₹80K–₹2L.
