If all goes as planned then Vastu Cnetral, the building located in the silent bylanes of Dadar west, may soon become one of the busiest buildings in the neighbourhood.
The building located hardly 500 meters from Shiv Sena Bhawan on the G North Office road, may become the Headquarters of the Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde. According to a senior party functionary from Shinde camp, two floors in the building is what the Shinde camp is eyeing and for the same negotiations are in final stages.
When contacted Sada Sarvankar, Shiv Sena MLA from Mahim, now a member of Shinde camp he confirmed that they have finalised a party office within the vicinity of Dadar-Prabhadevi area, and it would be close to 15,000 sq ft. However, Sarvankar refused to divulge the name of the building citing that negotiations were in the final stage and will be registered before Pitrapaksha. Pitrapaksh will begin on September 1
A senior leader from the Shiv Sena led by Shinde said that they were in talks for three different locations of which one has been finalised and it is Vastu Central. “The two floors measuring around 15,000 sq ft are finalised and negotiations are in the last stage.”
The building is hardly 500 meters and three minutes walking distance from Shiv Sena bhawan and is just behind the Kohinoor Square building. This is ground plus five storey building and the ground and first floor are completely vacant, and connected by an internal staircase, the second floor is occupied by small offices and a clinic, the third floor has a cooperative bank, whereas the fourth and fifth floor has offices, but hard to make out whether they were operational.
The office that the Shinde Sena is planning to occupy will be on rent and not an outright purchase. According to a real estate broker from the Shivaji Park area, the ongoing rent in the area is between Rs 140-145 sq ft, whereas buildings like that of Kohinoor and The Ruby Mill demand a premium and have a higher rental.
When asked Sarvankar if the building where the office will come up be called Sena Bhawan, Sarvankar refuted the claim and said it will be a regular party office which they want for administration purposes.
This reporter visited the office of the developer at the same building but couldn’t find anyone, the security informed that the developers visits the building.
