Mukesh Ambani Site’s History
Before Antilia graced the Mumbai skyline, the land it occupies had a very different purpose. According to media reports, the property was home to the Currimbhoy Ebrahim Yateemkhana, an orphanage established in 1895 by Sir Fazalbhoy Currimbhoy Ebrahim, a wealthy businessman from the Khoja Muslim community. The orphanage was managed by the Waqf Board and served orphans from the same community.
In 2002, the Waqf Board reportedly sold the land to Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia Commercial Private Limited for $2.5 million, though its market value at the time was estimated to be significantly higher. By 2003, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved the building plans, paving the way for the construction of this iconic mansion.
Earlier, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Saturday, i.e., November 2, claimed that Reliance Industries Chairman Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia is built on land belonging to the Waqf Board.
According to a report by Livelaw, the affidavit was filed by Sandesh C Tadvi, joint secretary to the Minority Development Department and acting CEO of State Board of Wakfs. It also claimed that one of the world’s most expensive private mansions, Antilia stands on land originally owned by Currimbhoy Ebrahim Khoja Yateemkhana, an orphanage.
