Adapting an Older Building
for a New Use
The Financial Case
Arguably the most important factor in
the decision to adapt an existing building
is cost.
PT
Whether the owner is private or public,
budgets always come into play.
Unless the actual goal is historic restoration of a treasured landmark (when
restoration may cost more than a new building), then adaptive reuse
must be the more cost‐effective option, or rebuilding will win favor.
N

Guidelines for Rehabilitation
1. Minimal changes to a property's
defining characteristics should
be made.
PT
2. Its historic character shall be
retained, preserving as much of
the original fabric as possible.

preserved.
As much as possible, building elements
should be repaired rather than replaced.
5. If an element cannot be repaired, then a replacement must be identical in
appearance and material to the original.

Adapting an Older Building for a New Use
Guidelines for Rehabilitation
6. Further, buildings and their surroundings must not
be harmed during the rehabilitation process. This
includes the use of harsh surface treatments,
damaging archaeological resources, or using
irreversible connection methods for new additions.
PT
7. If a new work is to be made, such as an addition, it
is to be differentiated from the old while still
keeping with the original structure's architectural
features and scale.

Adapting and Reusing Buildings

Heritage regulations or legislation MUMBAI
Heritage Regulations for Greater Bombay came into force on 1st June 1995.
There are 574 buildings including several forts, 14 milestones and 18 precincts
including some open spaces listed in Greater Bombay.

They include individual buildings, maidans, milestones and groups of buildings
within a precinct
Not all the items in the lists are as beautiful or attractive
Some are included purely for their historical value or because of their
association with people and events

MUMBAI: Issues
Lack of incentives for repair or conservation, incentives
like a repair fund, exemption from property taxes, and
exemption on parking, balcony and setback norms to allow
reconstruction to harmonise with an older streetscape.
PT
Only existing incentive: heritage TDR, which grants compensatory development rights
in another part of the city .
Heritage TDR has had few takers because it offers far lower building rights than
redevelopment policies; an FSI of 1.33, say , compared to an FSI 3 under the cessed
policy.
