Developed by Armenian jute merchant, T.M. Thaddeus in 1910, Park Mansions, a sprawling majestic building on Park Street Kolkata, was constructed as a rental property with mixed-usage sections comprising both residential and commercial segments. The building, spread over 5 bighas, has a central courtyard and a garden. The architecture is a mix of Victorian and Indo-Saracen styles, with a bulbous dome on the roof, British–style interiors with a touch of Indian architectural details on the façade. While age and disrepair took their toll on the building, a devastating fire at Alliance Francaise damaged sections of the structure. The heat led to excessive stress on the structure, weakening the building´s northeast corner.

Apeejay Real Estate gave Park Mansions a major makeover in 2010. We started the renovation project for Park Mansions in 2008 in a phased manner without moving the old tenants out of their homes. Amongst other facets of restoration of this city centre architectural heritage, the multi-crore project also included reversing the effects of aging and correcting the stress imbalance caused by a fire in the early 1990s. The work involved reinforcing the sections that had been weakened by the fire, modernizing the escalators and the overhead water distribution system and improving the driveway and the lighting arrangements. While this is a commercial building, it is part of the city's glorious architectural heritage which needed significant funding and painstaking restoration effort.

We are very proud of the team of our company, Apeejay Real Estate, who have successfully restored Park Mansions so lovingly even when the building was occupied with tenants.

The renovation work is now into its last phase, with some details remaining to be completed in the interior compound.
