Ratan Tata chooses Retirement home

Mr. Ratan Tata,
Sea-facing house at Colaba (part of the city of Mumbai) is getting ready to welcome Tata Sons chairman Mr. Ratan Tata, as he prepares to hand over the reigns of the salt-to-steel-to-software business group to his successor.

The house has received a partial occupancy certificate from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation

All the necessary approvals and permissions for the bungalow were given in 2008 by the Mumbai Heritage Committee, the Urban Development Department and the fire brigade.

Maharashtra Housing Area Development Authority's no-objection was also sought before the plans were given a go-ahead as the building that was demolished to make way for Tata's retirement home was a cess building and the entire area is a heritage precinct.

Mr. Ratan Tata is set to retire in December, 2012 next year, when he turns 75.

The 13,350 square foot property, about 20 minutes drive from Bombay House, the Tata Sons headquarters, rises 13.5 metres from the ground and has a living room, a kitchen, a study and a bedroom on the ground floor. The ground floor itself is elevated a few feet from the ground. The three-storied house, located opposite Colaba post office, is divided into seven levels and has an infinity pool at the top.

First-storey up, every floor has two levels. While living areas occupy the first level on each floor, the bedrooms and other rooms are on level two.
