A good news for the people who have been eagerly waiting for the memorial of the late Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray coming up at the premises of the old Mayor bungalow near Shivaji Park as according to MMRDA, over 65 per cent civil work in phase 1 is complete.

Balasaheb Thackeray Memorial is a new Museum being constructed at the old Mayor bungalow by upgrading Heritage building. This Smarak includes major structures like an administration building, an entrance block, a heritage enrichment and preservation centre, an interpretation center etc., which will be a sustainable and energy-efficient structure. The state of the art construction technology is being used to build green compliance structure close to the sea, which respects heritage but also forges a new architecture.
