Embassy Developments Shares Surge on India’s Largest Single Residential Deal in Juhu
- Juhu has always had a special character that very few locations in Mumbai can match.
- That same philosophy has been applied to Mumbai, and it has appealed to some of the nation's most discerning buyers in a relatively short amount of time.
Embassy Developments shares rallied up to 8% to Rs 63.80 on September 22 before reversing early gains following a memorandum of understanding to sell an entire residential tower at Embassy Terazza in Juhu to Angel One Chairman and Managing Director Dinesh Thakkar for Rs 711 crore, according to financial reporting from Kotak Neo and Business Today.
The transaction spans a G+7-storey residential tower with a RERA carpet area of 63,000 square feet, making it the largest single residential property transaction in India according to company disclosures. Based on the stated carpet area, the deal value works out to more than Rs 1.1 lakh per square foot. Embassy Developments shares touched an intraday high of Rs 63.80 before trading down 0.44% to Rs 58.63 by 12:21 PM IST on September 22, according to Kotak Neo.
Project Scope and Market Context in Mumbai
The tower is part of the Embassy Terrazza project located on Juhu Tara Road. According to company statements cited by Business Today, the ultra-luxury, low-density development spans more than two acres and comprises approximately 50 residences across five towers, with an estimated gross development value exceeding Rs 3,000 crore.
Embassy Developments Limited entered the Mumbai real estate market in February. The firm’s regional footprint includes Embassy Citadel in Worli, Embassy Serenity in Alibaug, Embassy Park in Panvel, and Embassy One in Thane, according to Kotak Neo.
Juhu has always had a special character that very few locations in Mumbai can match. My priorities when searching for a new residence were spaciousness, privacy, superb sea views, and the establishment of an iconic, luxurious sanctuary for my family home.

Jitendra Virwani, Chairman of Embassy Developments Limited, noted that the brand has built a deep understanding of what homebuyers value over three decades.
That same philosophy has been applied to Mumbai, and it has appealed to some of the nation’s most discerning buyers in a relatively short amount of time. The purchase of a full tower at Embassy Terazza by Dinesh Thakkar serves as a powerful validation of that vision and the confidence the Embassy brand has established in Mumbai within 18 months of its city launch.

Financial Position and Recent Performance
The high-profile property deal arrives on the heels of a strong quarter for the residential business. Embassy Developments reported pre-sales of Rs 868 crore for the quarter, marking a 338% increase year-on-year, while collections rose 54% to Rs 496 crore, according to Kotak Neo.
Despite growth in pre-sales, the company posted a consolidated net loss of Rs 234.40 crore for the quarter, compared to a net loss of Rs 165.64 crore recorded during the same period a year earlier, as reported by Kotak Neo. Additionally, the company received board approval on September 19 to raise up to Rs 160 crore via non-convertible debentures on a private placement basis. Market watchers are evaluating whether the Juhu transaction will translate into broader financial strengthening for the developer’s ongoing project pipeline.
