The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered land development company. The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is an Indian real estate company headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha, developing residential plotted land projects. As of 2024, it reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. Gokarna, in Karnataka's Uttara Kannada district, has featured on the company's own published roadmap of upcoming markets, alongside Bengaluru, Coorg and Ooty, as HoABL extends its coastal and pilgrimage-town model westward and south along the peninsula.
HoABL initially focused on land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra. Between 2022 and 2023, the firm expanded its land holdings into Goa and North India, acquiring 51 acres in Ayodhya. Its coastal projects to date sit along the Konkan and Goa shoreline — Alibaug, Dapoli, Anjarle and Bicholim among them — built around the idea of large, gated, amenity-led plotted layouts rather than constructed housing. This is the same template the company has signalled it intends to carry to Gokarna: a temple town with a long coastline, positioned between Goa to the north and Mangaluru to the south, on the same Konkan Railway and NH-66 corridor the company already understands from its Maharashtra portfolio.
In January 2023, the company announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period. By late 2024, the firm reported additional investments totaling ₹3,000 crore for land acquisitions in Amritsar, Khopoli near Mumbai, Nagpur, Shimla, Varanasi, and Vrindavan. The House of Abhinandan Lodha has acquired over 352 acres of land to launch new projects in Vrindavan, Varanasi, Amritsar, Shimla, Nagpur, and Khopoli, with these upcoming projects slated to give HoABL a presence in 16 cities across India. This is the same expansion cycle under which Gokarna, Bengaluru, Coorg and Ooty in the south, and Darjeeling and Kolkata in the east, have been named as forward markets — the company scaling its plotted-land model out from Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh into new tourism and pilgrimage geographies. Since May 2025, the firm's holding structure has traded under the Abhinandan Ventures name, following a settlement between Abhinandan Lodha and his brother Abhishek Lodha over use of the family name, with the House of Abhinandan Lodha brand retained for its plotted-land business.
HoABL's disclosed strategy has consistently paired two ingredients: a coastline or river frontage, and an established pilgrim or spiritual draw. Gokarna offers both in one town. It is a temple destination built around the Mahabaleshwara Temple and the Koti Teertha tank, and simultaneously a beach circuit — Om Beach, Kudle Beach, Half Moon and Paradise Beach — that has grown into a backpacker-to-boutique tourism belt over the past two decades. That dual identity mirrors the logic behind HoABL's Ayodhya project, where the company paired a religious pilgrimage market with branded plotted land, and its Konkan and Goa coastal projects, which lean on beach tourism and second-home demand.
Gokarna, a tranquil coastal town in the Uttara Kannada district of Karnataka, is rapidly emerging as a highly sought-after destination for both spiritual seekers and discerning homebuyers, offering a unique blend of pilgrimage and leisure. The ample land available, particularly for resort and agricultural development, positions Gokarna as a valuable land bank. There is heavy demand for resort and tourism land in Gokarna. Listed land parcels near the beach belt currently trade in a wide range depending on proximity to Om Beach and Kudle Beach and their conversion status for tourism use, reflecting a market still dominated by individual owners and local brokers rather than branded developers — a gap that a listed, RERA-compliant plotted-land brand is positioned to fill.
Gokarna is well-connected by road with National Highway 66 passing nearby. Gokarna is accessible by train with the nearest railway station being Gokarna Road (GOK), about 10 kilometers from the main city. The town sits on the Konkan Railway line, the same corridor that serves HoABL's Maharashtra coastal projects further north. The nearest airport is Hubballi, about 90 to 100 km inland, roughly a 2 to 2.5 hour drive, while many travellers instead fly into Goa's Dabolim or the newer Mopa airport, around 140 to 145 km away. That places Gokarna within a half-day's drive of Goa's expanding airport catchment — the same catchment HoABL already serves through its Bicholim and Panjim-adjacent Goa developments — and gives any future Gokarna project a logical link into the company's existing coastal Karnataka-Goa sales corridor.
Unlike traditional real estate developers who focus on constructing apartments or commercial spaces, The House of Abhinandan Lodha specializes exclusively in premium plotted land developments. Every land parcel undergoes rigorous legal due diligence, and all projects are RERA-registered, ensuring customers receive complete legal documentation for a fully transparent and secure buying experience. As a tech company within the real estate sector, HoABL offers a completely digital buying experience, where customers can purchase land entirely online. For a market like Gokarna, where land records and conversion status have traditionally required local diligence, this documentation-first, digitally tracked approach is the core value proposition HoABL has built its brand around in every city it has entered so far — from Ayodhya's riverside plots to Goa's Bicholim corridor.
