DLH Signature: Redefining the Western Skyline of Mumbai

Any geographical location has its own set of push and pull factors and we are glad to say that our development has become a pivotal pull factor in the gentrification of Bandra Bay”, asserts Dev Thakkar, Promoter, DLH Signature. Strategically located northbound from the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, the development offers a commanding presence on Mumbai’s skyline, complementing the city’s celebrated coastal vistas.

Thoughtfully Curated Amenities

DLH Signature redefines luxury living through its meticulously designed amenities that blend exclusivity, functionality, and breathtaking aesthetics. Rising nearly 120 meters above ground, the tower houses an expansive amenity floor on the 33rd level, approximately 110 meters high, offering residents an unparalleled experience ‘in the sky’. This elevated recreational zone features a grand banquet space, enabling members to host private events and celebrations on their own premises, thereby eliminating the need for external venues.

A world-class fitness center equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym equipment caters to wellness enthusiasts, while a private mini theater provides the perfect setting for movie nights or live sports screenings with family and friends. For younger residents, a dedicated children’s play area and library foster recreation and learning in a safe environment.

The highlight of the project is the infinity-edge swimming pool on the terrace, which offers a panoramic view of Bandra Bay and the Mumbai skyline, an experience akin to swimming among the clouds. Complementing this are a serene jogging track and a landscaped senior citizens’ area for relaxation and community interaction.

“We welcome our residents in style through a 5,000 sq. ft., 25-foot-high grand lobby, adorned in Italian marble and glazed with single-piece DGU units, setting the tone for the elegance that defines DLH Signature. We take pride in our unmatched speed of execution, having delivered 5.5 lakh square feet of built-up area in just two years, attracting top industrialists and financial market CEOs and CXOs as homeowners”, adds Dev.

The Design Philosophy

The design and architecture of DLH Signature draw inspiration from some of the world’s most iconic structures, most notably the Dubai Frame. During a visit to Dubai, Dev and his father were captivated by the innovation, scale, and elegance of international architectural landmarks and sought to bring that same caliber to Mumbai.

The building’s silhouette emulates the Dubai Frame, creating a striking and instantly recognizable profile on the western skyline. To enhance its visual impact, an extensive LED frame wraps around all four faces of the structure, spanning its entire height and width, using over a thousand meters of LED strips to achieve a luminous glow. The design thoughtfully breaks the facade on the east and west sides to soften the building’s mass, ensuring it is welcoming rather than imposing.

Overcoming Challenges

Like every ambitious real estate development, DLH Signature has navigated its share of formidable challenges, turning each obstacle into an opportunity for innovation and growth. Constructed on the reclaimed lands of Bandra Reclamation, the project faced complex geotechnical conditions that demanded exceptional engineering precision.

With soil instability posing significant hurdles, the team undertook deep excavation, reaching nearly 18 meters below ground level, to create a robust basement parking structure compliant with DCR requirements. Building upwards presented its own complexities, as the 120-meter-tall superstructure had to withstand high wind pressures while maintaining optimal sunlight exposure for surrounding buildings.

“Despite the structural challenges, my vision was to create an architectural icon that redefines Mumbai’s western skyline. We have a legacy of delivering multiple super-luxury and iconic developments and are now set to unveil our next masterpiece, the Icon of Bandra Bay, with the Occupation Certificate expected shortly”, concludes Dev.
