Ask five different websites when Rustomjee Urban Woods will be ready and you will get five different answers. We have seen December 2027, December 2028 and "RERA June 2030" published for the same project, none of them sourced, all of them mutually inconsistent. None of those is a possession date. They are marketing dates, and a marketing date is a sentence, not a commitment.
There are only six dates on this project that mean anything, and each one belongs to one tower.
The registered completion dates
| Tower | MahaRERA registration | Registered completion | Current release | Portal record |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Palm | P51700079096 | 31 May 2029 | On the current release | Verify |
| Maple | P51700079209 | 31 May 2029 | On the current release | Verify |
| Oak | P51700079484 | 30 Apr 2029 | On the current release | Verify |
| Walnut | P51700079483 | 30 Apr 2029 | On the current release | Verify |
| Wing A | P51700054892 | 01 Mar 2028 | Registered, not part of the current release | Verify |
| Banyan | PM1333032502512 | To be confirmed | Registered, not part of the current release | Verify |
These are the proposed completion dates on the MahaRERA filings for each tower. Banyan's date could not be established from any published source, so it is shown as to be confirmed. We would rather print that than invent a date to make a table look complete.
The one-line version, for the four towers you can actually buy today: Oak and Walnut are registered for 30 April 2029, Palm and Maple for 31 May 2029. Everything on the current release completes inside a single month of 2029.
What "registered completion" actually means
When a promoter registers a real estate project with MahaRERA, the application has to declare a proposed date of completion. That declared date is published on the project's portal record, and under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, it is the date that has to be written into the agreement for sale that you sign. It is a commitment made to a regulator and to you, on a public record, per registration.
A marketing possession date is none of those things. It is not filed, not published, not on the agreement and not enforceable. It is usually earlier than the registered date, because an earlier date sells better. When a brochure and a portal record disagree, the portal record is the one you can act on.
Why this project has six of them and not one
Urban Woods is built as six separately registered towers. Each registration was filed at a different time with its own construction programme, so each carries its own proposed completion date. Wing A, the earliest filing, is registered for 01 March 2028. Oak and Walnut, both registered in March 2025, are down for 30 April 2029. Palm and Maple, registered a month earlier, are down for 31 May 2029. Banyan, the newest filing, is on the current MahaCRITI system under PM1333032502512 and we could not establish its date.
That spread is why "possession 2028" is a misleading thing to say about this project as a whole, even though it is true of one registration. And note which one: the 2028 date belongs to Wing A, which is not on the current release. If a competing site is advertising 2028 possession at Urban Woods, ask which tower they mean. The only correct question is: what is the registered completion date for the specific tower I am being sold?
What to do with this before you book
- Get the tower name in writing, not just the project name. "Urban Woods" is not enough.
- Open that tower's portal record and read the proposed completion date yourself.
- Check that the same date appears in the draft agreement for sale before you sign anything.
- Ask whether the promoter has applied for, or received, any extension of the registration.
- Ask what the agreement says about delay: the compensation mechanism, the interest rate, the exit route.
If the date is missed
Section 18 of the Act gives an allottee two routes if the promoter fails to complete or hand over by the date in the agreement. You may withdraw from the project and claim a refund of the amount paid, with interest and compensation as prescribed. Or you may stay in the project and claim interest for every month of delay until handover. Separately, the promoter can apply to the authority to extend the registration, which is a normal and public event rather than a scandal, and it is one more reason to read the portal record rather than a brochure. None of this is legal advice, and none of it substitutes for reading your own agreement.
A note on construction status
Percentage-complete figures and slab counts are on request, because no developer document states one. For current site status the answer is a site visit, and we will arrange one by appointment. The walkthrough film is worth watching first, but it is a film rather than a progress report.
