Nariman Point is Mumbai’s business district, with high-rise offices and upscale hotels, popular for sunset drinks at sea-facing bars. It’s home to the National Centre for the Performing Arts, hosting experimental theater and international music acts, and the Piramal Art Gallery, displaying modern visual arts. The area lies at the end of Marine Drive, a promenade lined with art deco buildings.
Prior to 1940, the area was part of the Arabian sea. A popular leader of the Congress, Khurshed Nariman (affectionately called Veer Nariman), a Bombay Municipal Corporation corporator, proposed to reclaim the area from the sea near Churchgate. To accomplish this task, the shallow seafront was filled with debris from various parts of the city. Reinforced concrete cement was also used, the steel for which had to be purchased on the black market at higher prices due to World War II.The entire cost was estimated to be ₹300,000 (equivalent to about ₹114 million in 2018). Additional reclamations were carried out in the 1970s. A construction boom in that decade also led to the development of commercial high-rises in the area.

In 2006, prior to the financial crisis of 2007–08, Nariman point was the 7th most expensive location in the world for office space.[3] However, by December 2012 Nariman Point had fallen to 25th place while Delhi's Connaught Place remained the 5th most expensive location despite many offices moving to Gurgaon and Noida.[3] During the same period, Nariman Point also dropped from 7th to 15th most expensive location for office rentals.[4] The reasons for the decline were the high prices, lower quality and age of construction, and increasing distances from residential hubs which have now moved northwards and to the suburbs.[4] In the first three quarters of 2012, Nariman Point had a vacancy rate of almost 25%, compared with 18% in the rest of the Mumbai city.[2]
