Uddhav's new mansion is a building with a basement, stilt plus seven floors. Located in Kalanagar, the building is visible from Bandra Kurla Complex road.

The new building, as per plans, has a built-up area of 1291.81 sq mt and the parking lot has a capacity of around 15 cars. The basement has a meter room, an AC plant room, a fire tank, a pump room and other amenities.

The terrace is on the eighth level and each floor has a balcony. The building also has servants' quarters. The building has been designed by noted architect, Phiroze Panthaki.

Uddhav Thackeray and Rashmi Thackeray got ownership of the plot from Platinum Infrastructure Pvt Ltd, in October 2016 for a value of Rs 11.60 crore.
