Chandak Group has unveiled a 15,000 sq ft vertical mural on a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) redevelopment tower in Borivali East, Mumbai, ahead of National Mural Day observed on June 27. Extending from the 13th to the 34th floor, the artwork is among the tallest murals created on a rehabilitation building in the city. Designed by creative studio ZA Works, the installation symbolises homeownership and community transformation through imagery centred on a young girl holding a key. The initiative forms part of the developer's SRA redevelopment project and highlights the integration of public art within rehabilitation housing. Chandak Group said it has delivered 3,500 SRA rehabilitation homes over the past three years and plans to hand over another 1,508 units during the coming year.
Chandak Group has unveiled a large-scale vertical mural on a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) redevelopment tower in Borivali East, Mumbai, with the installation coinciding with National Mural Day, observed on June 27. Spread across approximately 15,000 sq ft, the artwork extends from the 13th to the 34th floor of the rehabilitation building, making it one of the tallest murals created on an SRA tower in the city.
The mural has been designed and executed by creative studio ZA Works. According to the developer, a team of 16 artists and technicians worked for more than 270 hours to complete the installation. The artwork depicts a young girl holding a golden key while standing before a keyhole-shaped portal opening into a landscape featuring flowers, butterflies and open skies. The visual theme is intended to represent the transition of families into formal housing through rehabilitation projects.
Chandak Group said the initiative was undertaken to incorporate public art into a redevelopment project while creating a visual identity for the rehabilitation building. The developer stated that the mural aims to reflect the significance of homeownership and the social dimension of redevelopment beyond the construction of residential buildings.
Commenting on the project, a spokesperson for Chandak Group said redevelopment involves improving living conditions alongside physical construction and noted that the mural was conceived as a symbol of homeownership and community identity. The spokesperson added that the artwork was intended to enhance the appearance of the rehabilitation tower and contribute to residents' sense of belonging.
A spokesperson for ZA Works said the mural was designed to narrate the journey of families moving into permanent homes and required the integration of multiple surfaces across a high-rise façade into a single visual composition. The studio added that the project combined artistic and technical challenges while seeking to create a recognisable landmark within the redevelopment site.
The installation has been unveiled at a time when developers are increasingly incorporating public spaces, landscaping and design elements into urban redevelopment schemes. By locating the mural on an SRA rehabilitation building, the project places visual art within a residential development intended for rehabilitation beneficiaries.
According to Chandak Group, the company has completed more than 80 lakh sq ft of development across Mumbai over the past three years in locations including Worli, Wadala, Chembur, Goregaon and Dahisar. During the same period, it handed over 7,616 residential units, including 3,500 SRA rehabilitation homes. The developer said it plans to deliver another 1,508 rehabilitation units over the coming year and currently has more than 3,000 SRA homes under various stages of development across the city.
