The Shivaji Park Residential Zone is a precinct consisting of 187 residential buildings[1] that were built as part of the Shivaji Park scheme in Dadar, Mumbai.[2] Most of the buildings in this residential locality were constructed in the early 1900s during British colonial rule in India, as a result of which many buildings here exhibit aspects of British architecture.[citation needed]
Park is considered an upscale real estate cluster in Mumbai,[3] and for long has been considered to be a desirable locality particularly among the Maharashtrian community, with numerous prominent Marathi personalities such as Madhav Manohar, Veer Savarkar and Bal Thackeray having resided here. It is also home to the Kataria Colony, locally known as Sindhi colony, which houses Bhagnari people of Balochi descent.[4]
