HoABL's Bet on Goa: A Branded Land Developer Moves Inland

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered real estate company founded in 2020. Its model — large-scale, RERA-registered, digitally transacted plotted developments in high-growth destination cities — has been applied across Ayodhya, Alibaug, Vrindavan, Shimla, Nagpur, and Amritsar. As of 2024, the company reported operations across 16 locations in India. Goa was an early and deliberate addition: between 2022 and 2023, HoABL expanded into the state, part of a broader push that also took in 51 acres in Ayodhya at the same time.

In Goa, HoABL has not built on a beach strip. Its Bicholim development sits inland in North Goa's east, positioned to capture the infrastructure wave emanating from the Manohar International Airport (MOPA) rather than the saturated coastal belt. That choice — early, inland, anchored to hard infrastructure — is consistent with how the company has operated elsewhere. At The Sarayu in Ayodhya, HoABL moved before the broader market. At Sol de Alibaug, the same logic applied to a coastal corridor rather than coastal frontage. Bicholim follows the same calculus.

What HoABL Has Built at Bicholim

HoABL's Goa footprint at Bicholim now spans two distinct product types sitting adjacent to each other: a plotted villa development (One Goa) and a serviced residential tower complex (Codename G.O.A.A. Premium Residences). The official project page on hoabl.com describes the Bicholim site as "a climate-positive haven near Mopa Airport, with a multi-tiered clubhouse and private beach." The company has also separately launched an 18-acre development at Bainguinim in Old Goa — a different product for a different buyer — reflecting a multi-location strategy within the state itself.

One Goa — Villa Plots

The One Goa plotted development covers 130+ acres at Bicholim and carries Goa RERA registration number PRGO08232080. Plot sizes run from 1,539 sq ft to 1,851 sq ft. The development is a gated community with a 40,000 sq ft clubhouse (among the largest in Goa by HoABL's own count), a man-made sea and beach spread across 20+ central acres, a 5-star hotel, and over 15 acres of green cover featuring more than 3,000 trees across 30+ species. Two clubhouses — Club La Pearl and Club La Coral — serve residents. Possession was targeted for December 2026.

Codename G.O.A.A. Premium Residences — Serviced Apartments

The G.O.A.A. residences sit immediately beside the One Goa plots and share the same 134-acre integrated township footprint. This is HoABL's vertical product at Bicholim: over 400 residences in 1 BHK and 2 BHK configurations, across G+8 towers with 14 homes per floor and 3 dedicated resident elevators. Prices on the official HoABL website start at ₹1.26 Cr for 2 BHK units; channel partner listings indicate 1 BHK from ₹73.53 lakh and 2 BHK from ₹1.08 Cr (all-inclusive). RERA registrations are PRGO05242232 and PRGO05242234 under GoaRERA.

The residences are serviced by Miros Hotels & Resorts, a hospitality brand that HoABL itself launched in mid-2025 with a debut property in Goa. Miros handles concierge, housekeeping, wellness programming, and gourmet dining within the development, converting ownership into a managed-stay experience. Residents get lifetime access to the One Goa masterplan's amenities: the 40,000 sq ft clubhouse, the man-made sea and beach, and curated culinary zones.

  • Configuration: 1 BHK and 2 BHK serviced residences
  • Towers: G+8 with 14 units per floor
  • Total residences: 400+
  • Hospitality operator: Miros Hotels & Resorts (HoABL brand, Goa debut)
  • Clubhouse: 40,000 sq ft, multi-tier
  • Amenity highlight: Man-made sea and beach, 20+ acre central zone
  • RERA: PRGO05242232 | PRGO05242234 (GoaRERA)
  • Connectivity: 25–30 mins to Mopa International Airport; 45–50 mins to Dabolim Airport; direct access from NH-66

Bicholim: Why This Micro-Market Matters to an HoABL Buyer

Bicholim is in the north-east of Goa, roughly equidistant between MOPA Airport and the established beach belt of North Goa — Anjuna, Vagator, Calangute, and Arambol are all within reach via NH-66. Thivim, one of North Goa's main railway stations on the Konkan Railway line, is about 12 km away. The town is not a beachside address, but that is partly why land here has moved: Liases Foras, the independent real estate research firm, published a dedicated report on Bicholim in February 2026, finding that land rates in and around the micro-market had risen 2.12 times over the previous five years, recording a historical CAGR of approximately 16%. The same report projected a further 3.17x appreciation over the following six to seven years, at an estimated CAGR of 18%.

The infrastructure triggers are specific. MOPA Airport (Manohar International Airport, inaugurated December 2022, commercial operations from January 2023 by GMR/GGIAL) is the most direct catalyst. The NH-166S six-lane link road connecting Mopa to NH-66 opened in July 2024, reducing travel times to the beach belt and to Mapusa and Siolim measurably. The Liases Foras report identifies further catalysts: NH-66 upgrades, the Bicholim and Assonora bypass projects, and the proposed Shaktipeeth Expressway for long-haul access. The new Zuari Bridge, fully opened December 2023, eases north–south movement for residents who also want access to South Goa.

Goa's tourism base supports the rental case. The state recorded approximately 1.08 crore tourist arrivals in 2025, with domestic tourism up 70.6% and international arrivals recovering by nearly 60%. Luxury villas in Goa are generating estimated rental yields of 10–11% for 3 BHK units and 11–12% for 4 BHK, with peak season occupancy between 90% and 98%. For HoABL's serviced apartment format at G.O.A.A., with Miros handling operations, the rental pool is structurally accessible without independent management by the owner.

The HoABL Model in Practice: What a Buyer Should Know

HoABL operates what it describes as a digital-first model: all transactions are conducted through virtual platforms, buyers can complete purchases remotely with virtual site visits, and legal documentation is provided end-to-end. This has been the operating practice since founding in 2020 and is relevant to the Goa buyer base — the company specifically targets HNIs and NRIs from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, and Bengaluru, many of whom buy without repeated physical visits.

Every HoABL project is RERA-registered, and Goa is no exception — both the G.O.A.A. residences and the One Goa plots carry individual GoaRERA numbers. The company has a portfolio of over 1,000 acres of plotted developments nationally, with 13 million sq ft of land sold and 34 million sq ft in the development pipeline. In Goa, the Bicholim site is HoABL's largest single deployment in the state. The company's hospitality arm, Miros Hotels & Resorts, launched in July 2025 specifically with a Goa property as its debut — a structural commitment that goes beyond a simple developer-operator tie-up.

One point buyers in this category routinely raise: HoABL is not affiliated with Macrotech Developers Limited (Lodha Group) in any way. The company itself states this clearly: "The House of Abhinandan Lodha has been established in 2020 and is not, in any manner, associated with 'Lodha' / 'Lodha Group'."

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Goa considered a strong real estate investment destination in 2025?+
Property prices in Goa surged by 66.3% year-on-year, reflecting a dramatic shift in market dynamics post-COVID. Buyers from metros such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, Pune, and NCR, along with NRIs, are leading demand for second homes and rental income opportunities. Short-term rentals deliver rental yields of 5–8% annually, attracting investors focused on income-generating properties.
What are the most sought-after residential localities to buy property in Goa?+
Assagao is the most expensive and exclusive area in Goa, followed by Anjuna, Vagator, and Candolim in North Goa. Siolim and Assagao have emerged as North Goa's cultural hubs, known for their greenery and designer homes, and are well-connected to Mapusa and the beaches of Morjim and Ashwem. Porvorim, situated on the banks of the Mandovi River, is considered Goa's upmarket residential hub, lying on the Mumbai–Goa highway NH-66. In South Goa, Palolem and Agonda are ideal for families, retirees, or anyone seeking a quieter pace away from busier beach belts.
How has infrastructure and connectivity improved for property buyers in Goa?+
Manohar International Airport (IATA: GOX), located at Mopa in Pernem taluka, North Goa, serves North Goa and the adjoining districts of Maharashtra and Karnataka, acting as a second airport alongside Dabolim. In financial year 2024–25, the airport handled over 4.6 million passengers and averages around 100 aircraft movements and 15,000 passengers daily. A new six-lane access-controlled link road spanning nearly seven kilometres connects the airport directly to the Mumbai–Kanyakumari National Highway 66. As of October 2025, the airport accommodates 12 passenger airlines on scheduled services to 27 destinations, comprising 22 domestic and 5 international routes.
What are current property price trends in Goa and which segments are seeing the most growth?+
Independent homes average around Rs 10,800 per sq ft, while luxury villas command Rs 19,400 per sq ft. North Goa locales such as Anjuna, Vagator, and Candolim saw a 28% year-on-year rise in villa prices in early 2024. Mid-segment projects in South Goa are priced between Rs 8,000 and Rs 15,000 per sq ft, while premium villas in select pockets command Rs 15,000–Rs 30,000 per sq ft, with analysts forecasting an 8–12% further rise in 2025 driven by limited land supply and lifestyle migration from tier-one cities.
What kind of lifestyle does living in Goa offer compared to major Indian metros?+
Goa's relatively clean air, with an AQI around 50, and vibrant culture enhance its appeal for lifestyle-driven buyers. Goa is known for its laid-back, relaxed lifestyle where the pace of life is generally slower and stress levels are noticeably lower compared to major metropolitan areas. Goa consistently registers as one of the safer states in India, with violent crime rates remaining low relative to most other Indian states.
Who is buying property in Goa today, and what is driving demand?+
The buyer demographic is shifting, with millennials and Gen Z increasingly entering the second-home space, a segment once dominated by older generations. As remote work untethered professionals from traditional offices, a new wave of residents began flowing in — young professionals settling into villas, creators and freelancers seeking inspiration, and NRI investors drawn to consistent Airbnb income. NRIs, particularly Goan diaspora in the Gulf, the UK, and Portugal, are increasingly investing in heritage homes.
Which emerging localities in Goa offer the best long-term appreciation potential?+
Siolim, Moira, and Aldona in North Goa are fast becoming next-tier investment centres. Land prices in emerging regions like Pernem and Canacona are rising rapidly, driven by improved connectivity and development interest. Close to the new Manohar International Airport, Mandrem and Arambol are witnessing rapid development, attracting investors seeking premium land near beaches with high appreciation potential.
