Today, Didacus\u2019s son Vivian and his wife Myra live there, but soon, the quaint cottage will rise as a 14-storey tower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to project consultant Akbar Jiwani, the plan covers a 5,167 sq. ft plot that will be transformed into a 21,000 sq. ft residential complex. The building blueprint includes:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Two basement levels and twin parking towers<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>14 residential floors with two 2BHK flats per floor (875\u2013909 sq. ft each)<\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Each unit designed with three balconies and 11-ft ceiling height<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (taller than the standard 9 ft, keeping the Pereira family\u2019s love for spacious living intact)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Self-Redevelopment\"><\/span><strong>Why Self-Redevelopment?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For decades, builders approached the family with redevelopment offers, but they always declined. \u201cIt was never a priority,\u201d says their son, Mark. Things changed in 2018, when the Maharashtra government formally introduced the self-redevelopment scheme. By 2021, the Pereiras decided to take matters into their own hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the past year, they fine-tuned more than 20 versions of their redevelopment plan before finalizing the current design. Construction is expected to begin by 2026, with the entire project scheduled to finish in two-and-a-half years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Familys_Share\"><\/span><strong>The Family\u2019s Share<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Pereiras will occupy the top four floors of the new tower, moving up from their current ground-floor residence.
