Location

Designed by architect Hafeez Contractor, The Imperial is built in Tardeo, South Mumbai and is perhaps contractor's most recognisable project to date. The project's use of the modern urban redevelopment model in which the building firm provides free land and rehabilitation to slum dwellers in exchange for rights for property development was the first implementation of this model on a large scale.
