Which part of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) will go? Which built up area will give way?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

These are the some of the conditions-<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. No Change in Land use is required;<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Exact built up area allowed shall be known at the RFP stage;<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Upto 2.54 lakh sqm of Built up Area (tentative) is allowed for commercial development;<\/span><\/p>\n

4. No prior environmental clearance is required from Ministry of Environment and Forest;<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Long Term lease-rights for real estate: Upto 99 years for residential or mix use format and 60 years for non-residential formats;<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Additional revenue stream: Pre-determined user charges (as notified by Ministry of Railways) from railway station users as in practice in airports etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs per our plan we will keep the 1930 look intact\u201d,<\/strong> said the MD\/ISRDC.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now what does\u00a0MD\/ISRDC\u00a0mean by “1930”?<\/span><\/p>\n

I am sharing a google map along with the cropped area of CSMT, other offices and mainline areas.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The specific mention of 1930 clearly indicates that there is a high chance Central Railway Headquarters offices (Mechanical, Operating including complete DRM office etc. adjacent main line platforms) are most likely to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may also mean demolition and change in the office building adjoining suburban platforms also (in front of Times of India building).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Developing residences in that area with 99 year lease and for shopping complexes will totally change the character of the area, which is full of historic Gothic and Indo-Saracenic buildings (GPO is next to old office buildings and the remains of Fort walls a walking distance).<\/span><\/p>\n

It also says that no change in Land use is required although it will be under the jurisdiction of the State Government probably.<\/span><\/p>\n

We can visualise CSMT surrounded by residential towers and malls.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be better if some clear maps and plans are shared by ISRDC.<\/span><\/p>\n
