A Landmark Business Address on Dr Annie Besant Road, Reimagined by Birla Estates
Shops, Offices · Price on Request
Birla Century Bhavan occupies one of Prabhadevi-Worli's most recognisable addresses on Dr Annie Besant Road, a building that has carried the weight of Mumbai commerce since well before most of its current neighbours were built. Positioned by Birla Estates as a legacy of India's esteemed business house, Century Textiles, overlooking the Bandra-Worli sea link and a renowned business hub since the early 70s, it is not a speculative new tower but a landmark being carried forward under the Birla Estates commercial banner.
The building has functioned as a working business address for decades rather than a showpiece, and its tenant roster reflects that reality. Reports on the property describe leading brands such as Century Textiles, Khaitan Legal Associates, Starbucks, and others occupying its floors, giving Century Bhavan a lived-in credibility that few new commercial launches in the city can claim on day one.
Structurally, the building has been described as combining B+G+3 floors in which the ground floor has retail shops, and the other 3 floors have Century Textiles offices, a compact, low-rise commercial format that stands apart from the glass-tower typology now common along Worli's business spine. This format keeps floor plates efficient and access straightforward for both retail footfall at street level and office occupiers above.
The timing of this address's renewed relevance is tied closely to Worli's infrastructure moment. With the Aqua Line's Worli metro station now operational and the Coastal Road linking directly into the Bandra-Worli Sea Link corridor, Dr Annie Besant Road has moved from being simply well-located to being genuinely well-connected across South Mumbai's business districts.
Birla Century Bhavan continues to be positioned by Birla Estates within its broader Worli commercial portfolio, alongside its sister building Birla Centurion, as part of a working business district shaped by decades of continuous occupancy on Dr Annie Besant Road.

Dr Annie Besant Road, Prabhadevi, Mumbai 400030 · Prabhadevi-Worli · Mumbai
Birla Century Bhavan sits on Dr Annie Besant Road in Prabhadevi, the compact South Mumbai neighbourhood where Prabhadevi is surrounded by Dadar from the north, Worli from the south, and the Arabian Sea from the west. The name itself carries local history, since Prabhadevi is derived from the Prabhavati Temple situated in the locality, a temple with a history of its own that is approximately 300 years old. Today the stretch is one of the city's established corporate and residential belts, with Prabhadevi consisting mainly of newly built apartments and high-rise buildings standing alongside legacy commercial addresses.
The building itself has anchored this stretch of Dr Annie Besant Road for over five decades, described by its developer as a legacy of India's esteemed business house, Century Textiles, overlooking the Bandra-Worli sea link, and a renowned business hub since the early 70s. Its position places it within walking distance of the Aqua Line's Worli metro station and close to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, keeping it tied into South Mumbai's principal traffic and transit corridors even as the surrounding skyline has transformed around it.

An underground station on Mumbai Metro's Aqua Line opened to the public in May 2025, placing Dr Annie Besant Road within a short walk of a direct underground link across the city's business corridors.
Since its second phase opened between Bandra Kurla Complex and Acharya Atre Chowk in Worli in May 2025, the journey between BKC and Worli has been cut to roughly fifteen minutes, tightening ties between two of the city's key business districts.
The 10.58 km stretch from Marine Lines to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link opened in March 2024, easing north-south road travel along the western seafront near Prabhadevi-Worli.
The existing sea link continues to provide a direct road connection from Worli to Bandra and the western suburbs, a route the Century Bhavan building has overlooked since its original construction.
An underground pedestrian link connecting the Nehru Science Centre metro station to the Worli Promenade was approved in August 2026, intended to improve last-mile access to the Worli waterfront on foot from the metro network.
Century Bhavan has functioned as a live commercial building for over five decades, giving it an operating history that new commercial launches in Mumbai cannot match, anchored throughout by its role as headquarters for Century Textiles and Industries Limited.
The building's position gives it a direct visual and physical relationship with one of Mumbai's defining pieces of infrastructure, keeping the address tied into the western seafront corridor connecting Worli to Bandra.
The building already houses recognised occupiers including Century Textiles, Khaitan Legal Associates, and Starbucks, reflecting the kind of tenant confidence that comes from decades of continuous commercial use rather than a fresh, unproven address.
Century Bhavan sits alongside Birla Centurion within Birla Estates' established Grade A commercial holdings in Worli, giving occupiers the assurance of an ongoing developer presence in the immediate micro-market rather than a one-off asset.
The opening of the Aqua Line's Worli station and the BKC-Worli metro stretch has meaningfully shortened commute times to Bandra Kurla Complex and the western suburbs, adding practical value to an address that was already well placed on the road network.
With retail at ground level and office floors above, the building offers a low-rise, easily navigable format on Dr Annie Besant Road that suits both walk-in retail businesses and established corporate occupiers seeking a South Mumbai address.
