Mahindra Alcove Floor Plan: 2 and 3 BHK Layouts from 676 to 860 Sq Ft, Plus the Jodi Option
Mahindra Alcove floor plan: two formats on 2.39 acres
The development offers 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments with carpet areas broadly in the 676 to 860 sq ft band, across a site of roughly 2.39 acres in Chandivali.
That is a narrow range by the standards of a large township.
It tells you the project is aimed squarely at one buyer type.
That is the professional household that wants an efficient, well-located home rather than maximum square footage.
Configuration table
| Format | Carpet | Suited To |
|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK | Approx 676 – 750 sq ft | Couples, small families, investors |
| 3 BHK | Up to approx 860 sq ft | Families with two children |
| Jodi (where available) | Combined | Larger households |
The two-bedroom layout
At roughly 676 to 750 sq ft carpet this is a well-proportioned Mumbai two-bedroom. Expect a living-dining space, two bedrooms with proper wardrobe walls, two bathrooms and a utility.
Understand what carpet area means before comparing. RERA carpet area is the net usable floor space within internal walls, excluding balconies and utilities which are stated separately.
A 676 sq ft carpet home is considerably more usable space than a 676 sq ft super-built-area figure quoted in older Mumbai listings.
This is the volume format and likely carries the deepest inventory. It suits dual-income couples, small families and investors targeting the Powai and Andheri East professional rental market.
The three-bedroom layout
At the upper end towards 860 sq ft carpet, this is a genuine three-bedroom home rather than a two-bedroom with a token study.
Expect three bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, a living-dining separation and a utility.
For a family with two children, or a household with resident parents, this is the format to examine.
At roughly Rs 2.65 crore and above, it should be compared against Powai premium alternatives as much as against Andheri East stock, since the price bands overlap.
The jodi option
Jodi units, formed by combining two adjacent apartments, have been available in this project at certain stages. Most buyers never ask about them and that is a mistake worth correcting.
The advantage is space at a lower per-square-foot cost than a comparable large unit elsewhere in the city commands.
The disadvantage is layout compromise. A combined plan is inherently less efficient than a purpose-designed large apartment, typically producing two kitchens or an awkward circulation route unless carefully reworked.
Inspect the actual proposed combined layout rather than accepting the concept in principle.
If the plan works, a jodi is often the best value in a project. If it does not, it is an expensive compromise.
Ask about availability early, since jodi inventory is finite and usually sells before the general release.
What to check on any plan here
Confirm the carpet area written into your agreement matches the RERA-registered floor plan for your specific unit. Verify on the MahaRERA portal rather than accepting a brochure figure.
Check the site plan alongside the floor plan. On a 2.39-acre parcel, some units face landscaped areas and some face the boundary or an adjacent building.
The floor plan shows layout; only the site plan shows outlook.
Check orientation. North and east facing homes receive gentler light and materially less afternoon heat load.
That reduces cooling cost across a long ownership. The 2 to 5 percent premium is usually justified.
Measure bedroom wall lengths against your furniture. A bedroom that cannot take a bed plus wardrobes without blocking a door is a permanent irritation.
Ask which wing your unit is in, because different wings in this development carry different RERA registrations and potentially different occupation certificate status.
Choosing your format
| If You Are | Consider | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| A working couple | 2 BHK | Efficient, lower carrying cost |
| Buying to let | 2 BHK | Deepest tenant pool locally |
| Family with two children | 3 BHK | Genuine third bedroom |
| Living with parents | 3 BHK or jodi | Privacy for both generations |
| Needing 1000 sq ft+ | Jodi or look elsewhere | Single units cap at approx 860 |
If 860 sq ft carpet is not enough and no jodi is available, this project cannot serve you.

Frequently asked questions
What configurations are offered?
The development offers 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments with carpet areas broadly in the 676 to 860 sq ft band.
There is no one-bedroom entry option and no purpose-built four-bedroom format.
Jodi units combining two adjacent apartments have been available at certain stages, which is the route to a larger home within this project.
How large is the 2 BHK?
Roughly 676 to 750 sq ft carpet, comprising a living-dining space, two bedrooms with proper wardrobe walls, two bathrooms and a utility.
Note that RERA carpet area is net usable space within internal walls.
So this is considerably more usable room than the same number quoted as super-built area in older Mumbai listings would suggest.
How large is the 3 BHK?
Up to roughly 860 sq ft carpet, comprising three genuine bedrooms, two or three bathrooms, a living-dining separation and a utility.
This is a real three-bedroom home rather than a two-bedroom with a token study, and it suits families with two children or households with resident parents.
What is a jodi unit?
A jodi is two adjacent apartments combined into one larger home. The advantage is space at a lower per-square-foot cost than a comparable large unit elsewhere commands.
The disadvantage is layout compromise, since a combined plan is inherently less efficient than a purpose-designed large apartment. Inspect the actual proposed layout rather than accepting the concept in principle.
Are jodi units still available?
Availability varies through the sales cycle and jodi inventory is finite, typically selling before general release. Ask the sales team specifically and early.
If you need more than about 860 sq ft of carpet area within this project, a jodi is the only route.
Establishing availability should be one of your first questions rather than an afterthought.
How do I verify the carpet area?
Carpet area under RERA is the net usable floor area within internal walls, excluding external walls, service shafts, balconies and open terraces, which must be stated separately.
Compare the figure in your draft agreement against the RERA-registered floor plan for your unit on the MahaRERA portal, and resolve any discrepancy before signing anything.
Does orientation matter?
In Mumbai, yes. North and east facing homes receive gentler morning light and significantly less afternoon heat load, which reduces cooling costs across a long ownership.
The typical premium of 2 to 5 percent is usually justified. Check the site plan alongside the floor plan, since only the site plan reveals what your windows actually face.
Which wing should I choose?
Different wings in this development carry different RERA registrations and potentially different occupation certificate status, which directly affects whether GST applies to your purchase.
Ask which wing your unit sits in, verify the corresponding registration on the MahaRERA portal, and establish the occupation certificate position in writing before committing to anything.
