Ashwin Sheth Group buys 50% stake, PAG pours ₹540 cr in posh south Mumbai tower
In a two-way strategic deal, Asia-focused Investment firm PAG has also committed ₹540 crore of credit finance to the project 'One Marina', located in Marine Lines. The funds will be used for construction of the project, with a gross development value of ₹2,300 crore.
Mumbai-based Ashwin Sheth Group acquired the stake from Jitendra Sheth and Vallabh Sheth, the promoters of real estate firm Sheth Creators. The remaining 50% stake remains with the landowner of the project.

Sheth Creators had launched 'One Marina' back in 2021, and around ₹300 crore of debt was raised from Yes Bank for the project. However, the project defaulted on the loan, and the development got stuck. Subsequently, after Yes Bank offloaded its stressed loans portfolio to the tune of ₹48,000 crore to J.C Flowers ARC, the loan against 'One Marine' was also assigned to the latter.
'We aim to make 'One Marina' one of the most premium residential addresses in south Mumbai. It is a one million sq ft project, with 315 units including apartments, duplexes and penthouses. We are planning to relaunch the project," Ashwin Sheth, chairman and managing director of the eponymous Ashwin Sheth Group told Mint in an interview.

Ashwin Sheth Group currently has 7 million sq. ft of under-construction projects. Sheth has helmed a number of luxury projects in Mumbai, including 'Beaumonde' in Prabhadevi.
Sunil Hotchandani, head-fund-raising at Ashwin Sheth Group, said, 'With PAG's financial support and our development track record, 'One Marina' is well-positioned for a successful turnaround."
Since 2018, PAG has made over $1.3 billion in private credit investments in India.
A PAG spokesperson declined to comment.
Luxury home sales in Mumbai, the country's most valuable property market and other cities such as Gurugram have continued to attract homebuyers and investors alike.

'Marina Lines as a micromarket gained further momentum after Prestige Group launched its 'Ocean Towers' project last year, which saw good sales. The luxury market continues to do well. The 'One Marina' project has a full ocean view, and now that the project has got financial closure, it should be developed quickly," said Anuj Puri, chairman and founder, Anarock Group, a property advisory.

Cracker Barrel new logo row: Why Lebanon-based chain is facing backlash; CEO responds
Cracker Barrel, famous Lebanon-based restaurant chain, is facing severe backlash on social media over its new logo and menu updates. On Wednesday, the chain announced the changes, saying the new logo is 'now rooted even more closely to the iconic barrel shape and word mark that started it all'. This is the first time in 48 years that the Cracker Barrel logo will be text-only with no images. Cracker Barrel has changed its logo(Cracker Barrel) The chain, which opened in 1969, had a logo with just text before, but in 1977, it updated the image to show a man resting by the barrel. In a press release, Cracker Barrel noted that 'farm fresh scrambled eggs and buttermilk biscuits' were the inspiration behind the color palette in the new campaign. The company is running an 'All the More' campaign that 'positions the iconic American brand for the future'. 'We believe in the goodness of country hospitality, a spirit that has always defined us. Our story hasn't changed. Our values haven't changed. With 'All the More,' we're honoring our legacy while bringing fresh energy, thoughtful craftsmanship and heartfelt hospitality to our guests this fall,' Sarah Moore, chief marketing officer of Cracker Barrel, said in a statement. However, social media backlash followed the makeover. 'The CEO of Cracker Barrel is as woke as they come. She is destroying a once great American brand,' pro-Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter. 'This logo is depressing,' another person added. 'Now why would they remove the cracker & the barrel?' a third one tweeted. Cracker Barrel CEO responds The CEO of the company, Julie Felss Masino, explained the changes in an interview with Good Morning America. 'People like what we're doing. Cracker Barrel needs to feel like the Cracker Barrel for today and for tomorrow -- the things that you love are still there. We need people to choose us, and we want people to choose us,' she said. Masino added that at a recent on-site meeting in Florida, the 'No 1 question I got asked was, 'How can I get a remodel, when can I get a remodel and how do I get on the list?'"

PropEquity sues CRE Matrix for alleged data theft, Delhi HC issues summons
Delhi-based real estate analytics firm PropEquity has filed a case against Mumbai-based CRE Matrix in the Delhi High Court, alleging data theft and infringement of its primary real estate data. PropEquity has sought a permanent injunction and damages of Rs 8 crore on account of the alleged data theft. A single-judge bench of Justice Manmeet PS Arora of the Delhi High Court issued summons to Bhugol Analytics Private Limited (trading as CRE Matrix), its directors and some employees, in an order dated July 24, released on Wednesday. The court granted time to the defendants to file their written statements and posted the matter for hearing on September 19. PropEquity, operated by PE Analytics Limited, alleged glaring similarities and almost identical figures in the primary residential data segment reported by CRE Matrix in its 'India Housing Report' published in May 2025. The firm also said CRE Matrix was not operating in the domain of primary residential data during 2021–24, the period for which the figures were released in its May 2025 report. It added that CRE Matrix acted by unethically soliciting the plaintiff's former employees, who had held important positions but resigned, violating non-compete clauses and joining the rival company. 'They colluded with the defendant and compromised the proprietary primary residential data of the plaintiff,' PropEquity said in its plea before the Delhi High Court. The firm added that it has also filed police complaints with the cyber crime branch in Gurugram, and the police has initiated an investigation.
