From Branded Land to Mumbai's Skyline: HoABL's Vertical Move

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is an Indian real estate company headquartered in Mumbai, founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha. For its first four years, the firm focused on land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra before expanding into Goa and North India, acquiring 51 acres in Ayodhya between 2022 and 2023. By its own reporting, HoABL holds a portfolio of over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, with 13 million square feet of land sold and an additional 34 million square feet in the development pipeline. That track record in horizontal, plotted product is the foundation on which the company is now building something categorically different in Mumbai.

The House of Abhinandan Lodha has announced its strategic entry into Mumbai's vertical real estate market with an investment of ₹2,500 crore across three landmark projects — a move that marks a significant shift from the company's traditional focus on horizontal developments to high-rise constructions. With a total development potential of 3.1 million square feet, HoABL is targeting ₹3,500 crore in revenue from this vertical portfolio, backed by a ₹2,500 crore investment sourced via a mix of internal accruals and structured debt. Two of those three sites are residential plays that span opposite ends of Mumbai's geography — and its price spectrum.

HoABL Chowpatty Residential Project: South Mumbai at Its Most Literal

Overlooking Chowpatty Beach, the Chowpatty Residential Project is tailored for luxury seekers, with approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of residential space that combines views with visionary design at the heart of coastal South Mumbai. This is HoABL's most acutely located residential bet: Girgaon Chowpatty is not a suburb or a growth corridor — it is an established, land-scarce address in the island city.

Girgaon has a dedicated station on the Aqua Line of Mumbai Metro, which links the neighbourhood to key Central Mumbai hubs, while the key commercial districts of Nariman Point and Lower Parel are within 5 km and Mumbai Central Railway is barely 2 km away. The locality's strategic position along the Coastal Road provides seamless connectivity northward and southward. For buyers who work in South Mumbai's financial corridors or Bandra-Kurla Complex and want to live close to the office, the address needs little further justification.

Average property prices in South Mumbai remain among the highest in India, with capital values between ₹52,500 and ₹1,01,000 per sq. ft. and rentals between ₹79,800 and ₹7,30,000 per month. The average registry rate specifically in Chowpatty runs at approximately ₹38,048 per sq. ft. — a figure grounded in recent transactions. Appreciation in this part of the city is driven by limited land supply, redevelopment restrictions, and high replacement costs, which is precisely the context in which HoABL's 50,000 sq. ft. Chowpatty project operates. New, institutionally backed residential supply at this address is genuinely scarce.

HoABL Growth Housing – The Great Western Mumbai: Naigaon East's Defining Township

In 2025, HoABL entered the vertical housing segment through its Growth Housing initiative, beginning with a residential project in Naigaon, Mumbai, in partnership with Mittal Builders. HoABL's Naigaon project involves over 3 million sq. ft. developed into an integrated high-rise township, with vibrant retail streets, residential towers, and premium lifestyle amenities, emphasizing community living close to renowned schools, hospitals, and retail zones.

At the heart of Naigaon East's transformation stands The Great Western Mumbai by HoABL and Impactum Lands, RERA-registered under ID P99000080106 and launched in August 2025. In Naigaon, HoABL brings thoughtfully designed 1 and 2 BHK apartments with a balance of functionality, comfort, and aesthetics.

The choice of Naigaon East is deliberate. Located in the Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation area, Naigaon's population has grown by 347% over the past decade, making it one of Mumbai's fastest-growing suburbs. Property consultants report that average land prices in Naigaon have increased from ₹8,500 per sq. ft. in 2020 to ₹15,750 per sq. ft. in 2025 — an 85% appreciation in five years. For a developer running a "Growth Housing" thesis, this is the data that validates the location.

Naigaon East: Connectivity Making the Case

Naigaon sits right on the Western suburban railway line, immediately after Vasai, linking residents to all the vital Mumbai stations — Borivali, Andheri, Dadar, Churchgate — and the business hubs of Lower Parel and BKC through the Western Railway network. From a road perspective, Naigaon offers direct access to the Western Express Highway via well-developed link roads, with Borivali reachable in approximately 30 minutes by car.

Several infrastructure projects are reshaping the suburb's commute equation further. A proposed Virar-Alibaug Multimodal Corridor — a 126 km route passing through Naigaon — is designed to boost regional connectivity and economic activity. Mumbai Metro Line 9, extending the Dahisar East-Andheri East corridor to Mira-Bhayandar, will integrate Naigaon more seamlessly into Mumbai's suburban network. The Naigaon East-West Bridge has also significantly improved traffic flow between the eastern and western parts of the locality.

Price Context: Naigaon vs. Its Neighbours

A 2 BHK flat in Naigaon East currently costs between ₹5,000 and ₹6,200 per sq. ft., with homes inside gated communities near the station and major roadways reaching ₹6,500+ per sq. ft. That stacks up against Mira Road at ₹9,000–₹11,500 per sq. ft. and Borivali at ₹18,000+ per sq. ft. — a differential that explains why the township format makes structural sense at this location.

What HoABL Brings That the Location Cannot Buy Elsewhere

HoABL's business model uses a digital-first approach where all transactions are conducted through virtual platforms — a practice it has refined across 16 locations nationally and is now carrying into its Mumbai vertical projects. Every land parcel and project offered by HoABL undergoes rigorous legal due diligence, with all projects RERA-registered and complete legal documentation provided to buyers.

In January 2023, the company announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period — a commitment that frames the Mumbai vertical push not as an experiment but as a sustained programme. All three vertical projects are scheduled to launch from Q2 of FY 2025-26, with a five-year development window. The pairing of a Chowpatty ultra-premium product and a Naigaon township product within the same portfolio reflects a deliberate decision to address two entirely different buyer profiles within Mumbai: the sea-facing South Mumbai buyer with capital to deploy, and the first-home or investment buyer seeking entry into a structured, branded community on the city's western growth corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Mumbai considered one of India's strongest markets for real estate investment?+
Mumbai is India's financial capital, home to the Bombay Stock Exchange, major multinational corporations, and a dense concentration of BFSI, IT, and entertainment sector employers that generate sustained housing demand. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region accounts for 24 to 25 percent of area sold and 31 to 33 percent of sales value among India's top seven residential markets, making it the single largest residential real estate market in the country. In FY 2024–25, residential sales value across Mumbai rose 26 percent year-on-year, with 49,200 units worth approximately ₹1.24 lakh crore sold — numbers that reflect structural demand rather than cyclical momentum.
Which localities in Mumbai offer the best residential options across different budgets?+
Mumbai's residential geography spans a wide range, from South Mumbai's established addresses — Malabar Hill, Worli, and Cuffe Parade — where prices run from ₹70,000 to over ₹1,00,000 per sq ft, to mid-market corridors like Andheri West (around ₹23,795 per sq ft) and Goregaon West (around ₹23,379 per sq ft). For buyers seeking growth-oriented entry points, Wadala currently trades at ₹13,000–₹18,000 per sq ft with direct BKC access via the Eastern Freeway, while Panvel and Ulwe in Navi Mumbai offer entry-level pricing below ₹12,000 per sq ft alongside direct gains from the new international airport corridor. The Jogeshwari-Borivali belt emerged as the city's most active zone in FY 2024–25, recording flat sales of ₹40,000 crore across 879 projects by 588 developers.
What major infrastructure projects are reshaping connectivity in Mumbai right now?+
The 22 km Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (Atal Setu), connecting Sewri to Nhava Sheva, is already operational and cuts the Mumbai–Navi Mumbai commute to 15–20 minutes, directly supporting price appreciation in Ulwe and Panvel. The Mumbai Coastal Road, a 29.2 km, 8-lane expressway budgeted at ₹13,000 crore and connecting Marine Drive to Kandivali, is expected to be fully operational by mid-2026, with a twin tunnel running through Malabar Hill. Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line), now fully operational with 27 stations from Cuffe Parade to Aarey JVLR, has redrawn commute patterns for South Mumbai, BKC, and the western suburbs, while Metro Lines 5 and 9 are expanding coverage toward Thane, Bhiwandi, Kalyan, and Mira Bhayandar.
What are the current residential property price trends in Mumbai for 2025?+
The city-wide median residential price stands at approximately ₹27,500 per sq ft, reflecting a 6 percent year-on-year increase. Within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Thane has been one of the strongest performers, recording a 46 percent rise in average residential prices between Q2 2022 and Q2 2025, with rates now around ₹19,800 per sq ft. Bandra West saw sales value surge 192 percent between H1 2024 and H1 2025, rising from ₹362 crore to ₹1,057 crore, driven by demand for well-connected upscale addresses. Housing unit sales in the first half of 2024 were up 16 percent year-on-year compared to the same period in 2023, and January 2025 alone recorded over 9,200 property registrations generating ₹740 crore in stamp duty revenue.
What lifestyle and cultural advantages does living in Mumbai offer homebuyers?+
Mumbai is home to Bollywood and India's most established art, theatre, and cultural circuit, with iconic landmarks including Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, and Juhu Beach woven into everyday city life. The city hosts institutions such as IIT Bombay in Powai, the University of Mumbai, and a deep network of international schools across Bandra, Powai, and Andheri, making it a practical choice for families with long-term education requirements. Its coastal setting delivers sea-facing residences in Worli, Juhu, and Malabar Hill, and the opening of the Coastal Road has now reduced the drive between Marine Drive and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link to under ten minutes, meaningfully expanding the geography of practical luxury living.
How does Mumbai's commercial real estate market support residential demand?+
Mumbai's office market recorded approximately 6.6 million sq ft in gross leasing volume in Q1 2026 alone — the highest quarterly figure on record — with BFSI firms accounting for 44 percent of demand and Global Capability Centres making up over 30 percent. Office vacancy across the city has declined to approximately 9.2 percent, with rentals continuing to rise across established corridors in BKC, Andheri-Kurla Road, and Powai. This sustained occupier confidence directly translates into housing demand: professionals relocating to or within Mumbai for BFSI, GCC, and tech roles are the primary driver of mid-market and premium residential absorption across the western and central suburbs.
Which emerging areas in Mumbai offer the strongest investment potential today?+
Navi Mumbai and Panvel stand out for investors, benefiting from the operational Atal Setu bridge and the newly opened Navi Mumbai International Airport, which began domestic operations in October 2025. Panvel has seen 8 to 10 percent price growth in early 2025, with current rates in the ₹9,000–₹12,000 per sq ft range, while Ulwe — at ₹8,000–₹9,000 per sq ft — remains below the city average with significant upside tied to the airport corridor. Wadala, Vikhroli, and Chembur are also gaining momentum, each offering direct access to BKC and Lower Parel employment hubs through improved road, metro, and Eastern Freeway connections.
