It has been over eight years since 70-year old Juzer Rokadia moved out of his childhood home in Bhendi Bazaar, paving way for a redevelopment project by the Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT). But finally his wait for a new home is over as he, along with 15 other residents, got the keys to the flats in Al Sa'adah, which includes the first two towers of the project.

Before 2011, Rokadia used to live in an old building — Taiyebi Manzil — in Bhendi Bazaar with his mother, wife and two children. Their move to Anjeerwadi came with its share of inconvenience. "Everything we need is at Bhendi Bazaar, including our place for prayers. So after we moved, travelling became an issue. It took some time to get used to it. But now we've settled in. Some people are apprehensive about moving again," said Rokadia. He, however, added that he and his family were looking forward to having a permanent home.
