On Altamount Road are the consulates of Indonesia (Plot no. 19) and of South Africa (Plot no. 20); on the connecting
Carmichael Road are the Belgian, Chinese, and Japanese consulates. In 2008, it was rated as the 10th most affluent street in the world. Altamount Road is a very wealthy area, and also home to several industrialists. The Mafatlal complex is also located here. Also, it is home to
Lodha Altamount which created history in November 2015 by selling the most expensive apartment in the country. The road was officially renamed "S. K. Barodawalla Marg" in the 1990s, but residents, the city's taxi-drivers, and others continue to refer to it by its former name. It has a large number of trees and heritage buildings, such as the official residence of the Chairman of the
Bombay Port Trust, the residence of the
Municipal Commissioner of Mumbai, the consulate residence of Japan, Belgium and formerly the United States, and the official residence of the General Manager of Western Railways. The residential bungalow of the Bombay Port Trust was originally made by
George Wittet, who also designed the
Gateway of India and The Grand Hotel at
Ballard Estate. ==Gallery==
