Review of Maker Maxity, BKC, Mumbai
                     REVIEW OF MAKER MAXITY, BKC, MUMBAI
Having worked in two buildings in Maker 
Maxity from 2011 to 2017, at Macquarie & 
BNP Paribas, I write the review of Maker 
Maxity, BKC below from personal experience 
& updates from those that currently work 
there. 
Here are some stats about the building:
•Owned by Ambani & Maker Group. 
•Spread across 1.2 million sq. ft area. 
•Four buildings with one entire building is 
taken by BNP 
•Further phases of the Maker Maxity 
project in Mumbai will likely be 
completed in 2020 – and will be one of 
the largest projects in BKC.
All & all, Maker Maxity is a top tier commercial building and was the 
Queen of commercial office space in Mumbai and remains one of 
the best, but as it ages and other competition emergences for 
office space in BKC… will it retain its title as the most sought after 
office space for rent in Mumbai? 

Below is personal experience from Otis Critchley – let’s start with the 
pros of Maker Maxity:   
Pros: 
1.Within BKC, closest walking distance to Bandra Station 
2.Amazing walking grounds that are perfectly kept & green! 
3.Each building is only 10 stories with 4 lifts so no issue with congestion 
in any building (one of the negatives of the Capital Building in BKC) 
4.Right at the edge of BKC so if live in westerns suburbs don’t have to 
hit the rush leaving G Block in BKC because you are already at BKC’s 
edge! To boot, very close to the Sealink that will bring one to Lower 
Parel, Worli Area, SOBO.
5.Higher-end, feel-good crowd – the cost of Maker Maxity ensures only 
the top corporates in the world & in India are located there. There is a 
level of classiness that I would say to this day, still can’t be met in other 
office complexes in BKC, let alone Mumbai, Thane or Navi Mumbai.   
6.Perhaps a strange number 6, let’s call it a bonus point! There is a gym 
in building #2! Not many gyms in BKC, so having such easy access was 
wonderful and really missed it after moving to G Block.  

Cons: 
1.Rat infestation, yup. You read it correctly. To be fair not the only 
commercial building in BKC to have this issue, but for such a fine building would expect a 
way for them to fix it. And this was the case for me at BNP for the entire time basically and 
it’s confirmed as of this writing in building #2 as well.    
2.Grabbing a drink or food in the immediate area, is rough – you will only have a few 
options on the ground floor of buildings 2 & 3, but it pales in comparison to being in G 
Block. Having said that, by next year, the upcoming Maker project that will wrap around 
Maker Maxity will provide an abundance of more options. And in fact, may turn out to be the 
best spot to wine & dine in BKC. 
3.Security & the entrance … trying to communicate with Uber or Ola to enter the Maker 
Maxity complex, is a pain and it’s beyond silly (mind you I’m a foreigner so perhaps even 
more challenging for me)…. Drivers can’t figure out which side to come in, then when they 
do they call you from security to ask you which company. You could literally say anything, 
pointless and beyond annoying. Don’t get me wrong, the security guards are lovely and just 
doing their job, but a small daily annoyance, I do not miss. 
4.Doesn’t have massive floor plates, if you are a large company that needs 30,000+ square 
feet, you would have to take several floors of office space, not that bad, but many firms 
prefer one to two floors.
5. Upkeep inside the buildings started to fade, I hate to say it, but the 
bathrooms largely haven’t been changed or updated. Perhaps it’s up to the 
firms themselves that occupy, but worth the investment – there were 
complaints about this when I was at BKC. Not to mentioned, cramped 
bathrooms!  
6. Parking a bit more limited, they should have dug one more level down for 
each building. There is a very good chance if you work here you won’t have 
a parking spot and will have to park across the street & if you don’t get 
parking there you will be in bad shape.  
7. It’s not cheap! The highest office rent in Mumbai, might have gone to my 
old firm, BNP Paribas, who took an entire building and still has it, building 
#1. I can’t blame them as it was the BEST when they moved in about 7 
years ago, but not sure if it’s the best still?

of the best. At this time, we are only reviewing the best
