Meghji Building was in the possession of Diamond Jubilee Trust, Mazgaon, Mumbai till the year 1982, when in the year 1982, 77 tenants of the building contributed around Rs. 5,75,000/- and purchased the entire premises in auction from the Diamond Jubilee Trust and thus all these 77 tenants now became owners of the entire premises. Thereafter, these 77 owners formed a co-operative housing society named as Meghji Building Tenant’s Co-operative Housing Society Limited in the year 1984 – 1985 with Late Shri Muljibhai D. Solanki as its first Chief Promotor. The rest of the tenants who were tenants of Diamond Jubilee Trust now became Tenants of Meghji Building Tenant’s Co-op. Hsg. Soc. Ltd., as they had not contributed any amount towards purchase of this premises nor applied for membership till date.

The building being one of the oldest building constructions, it is now going for redevelopment following all the guidelines laid by Government of Maharashtra.
