Brokers claim that's the amount Pune businessman Vijay Shirke paid for 2,400 sq-ft house, making it Mumbai's costliest deal, but he says it's not true

Pune businessman Vijay Shirke is said to have bought the most expensive house in Mumbai after paying Rs 1 lakh per sq ft for a 2,400 sq ft flat in Sea Face Park, Bhulabhai Desai Road.

According to a South Mumbai broker, the deal took place in June while the real estate market was still suffering from the economic slowdown.

"The flat was sold at Rs 1 lakh per sq ft," he said. Another broker from the area also confirmed this. But Shirke, while confirming that he's bought the flat, denied the rumoured price.

"I bought the flat for less than Rs 1 lakh per sq ft for nearly Rs 90,000 per sq ft actually," he said.
