A church in Mumbai’s Bandra neighbourhood has denied reports suggesting that its Bandstand-facing property is up for sale for nearly Rs 900 crore, following the circulation of an unauthorised online listing that gained significant attention on social media and property platforms.
The listing claimed that a prime land parcel located along the prestigious Bandstand promenade was available for purchase, triggering speculation due to the property’s location in one of Mumbai’s most sought-after and high-value residential districts.
Responding to the reports, the church administration clarified that the property is not being sold and that no discussions, approvals or authorisations have been issued regarding any potential transaction. It stated that the listing was entirely false and had been published without its knowledge or consent.
Situated along Bandra’s waterfront, the property lies in a micro-market known for its premium real estate, limited supply and proximity to several prominent residences. The area continues to attract strong demand due to its sea-facing location, established social infrastructure and exclusivity.
The unauthorised listing, which appeared briefly on digital property portals, quoted a valuation of approximately Rs 900 crore and led to widespread speculation about a possible deal in the tightly held Bandstand market. However, church representatives categorically rejected these claims and reiterated that the land remains under its ownership with no plans for sale.
Sources familiar with the matter indicated that the advertisement appears to have been uploaded without proper verification of ownership or institutional approval. The incident has once again highlighted concerns about misleading property advertisements on online platforms, particularly in premium real estate markets where speculation can spread rapidly.
Industry observers noted that false listings in high-profile locations can temporarily influence market sentiment and create confusion among buyers and investors. They have called for stronger verification procedures on property portals to prevent unauthorised listings.
The church has maintained that the property is not available for sale and described the viral listing as completely baseless, while authorities and platform operators are expected to examine the matter further.
