The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered real estate company founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha. In its first five years the firm built a nationally distributed land portfolio: as of 2024 it reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. The company reports 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.
HoABL initially focused on land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, then expanded between 2022 and 2023 into Goa and North India, acquiring 51 acres in Ayodhya. In January 2023 the company announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period. Later that year it formed a joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors, investing ₹1,500 crore in plotted and low-rise developments across India. Neral sits squarely within HoABL's Maharashtra heartland, and the firm has committed substantial scale to this specific micro-market.
Within Maharashtra the company develops and manages land projects in Alibaug, Anjarle, Dapoli, Khopoli, Nagpur, and Neral. Neral is notable because it is the only location in that Maharashtra list where HoABL has introduced a thematic product concept rather than a straightforward plotted community — a distinction that signals how seriously the developer regards this address.
Mission Blue Zone by The House of Abhinandan Lodha is described as India's first-ever Blue Zone-inspired luxury lifestyle land development, spread across 80 acres in Neral, with a starting price of ₹44.99 lakh, and located two hours from Mumbai. The project sits in Pimploli BK village, Karjat taluka, along MDR Road by the Shilar River, nestled in the foothills of Matheran and adjacent to wildlife and eco-sensitive zones.
The project is a new launch currently expected to be delivered by June 2029, is RERA-registered, and carries MahaRERA registration number P52000077814.
The project draws inspiration from globally recognised Blue Zone communities, from Okinawa to Sardinia — regions studied for the longevity and wellbeing of their populations. The 80-acre area is designed to promote a car-lite lifestyle, walkable zones, and sustainable practices. The project is designed by ENZYME APD, a globally acclaimed architectural firm known for its sustainable projects.
The development features multiple experiential zones with amenities including outdoor reading libraries, yoga decks, star-gazing decks, and jogging and cycling paths. The broader vision integrates nature, purpose, and wellbeing into every element — from art and music to movement and food — with wind chimes, music parks, open-air concert spaces, trampolines, fitness stations, kite lawns, amphitheatres, and green walkways with panoramic views. The development allocates approximately 63,600 sq. m. (15.7 acres) to lush green pockets and experiential amenity spaces.
The project lies in a corridor bounded by the Matheran Eco-Sensitive Zone and Bhimashankar Wildlife Sanctuary, and the broader region forms part of the Western Ghats — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of 36 recognised global biodiversity hotspots. Because of its proximity to the Matheran and Bhimashankar hills, Neral is classified as an industrial-free zone. That zoning status protects the site from the kind of industrial encroachment that can erode land value in MMR's peripheral towns.
Neral is well-connected via the Central Railway line, with direct trains from Mumbai, while improved road networks via Karjat and Panvel make for smoother drives from both Navi Mumbai and Pune. The transit points closest to Mission Blue Zone are Neral Railway Station and Neral NG Railway Station, with Neral Railway Station being the nearest.
HoABL's decision to anchor multiple projects in Neral reflects a read on infrastructure timing that buyers should understand directly.
Land rates in Neral have moved 15.4% over the last three years and 36.4% over the last five years, according to 99acres data sourced from Maharashtra government transaction records. That measured appreciation trajectory — not speculative, but confirmed by registered transactions — is the factual foundation on which HoABL's Neral positioning rests.
Mission Blue Zone is not HoABL's only commitment to Neral. The House of Abhinandan Lodha has launched three signature plotted developments in the Neral-Matheran belt: Mission Blue Zone, Golden Triangle (ForeverLand), and Jumbo Land. The Celebration Land Gold project, of which the Jumbo Land collection forms a part, carries MahaRERA number P52000046039. The accumulation of multiple registered projects by a single developer within one micro-market is unusual and signals the depth of HoABL's conviction in Neral's land story.
Every land parcel offered by The House of Abhinandan Lodha undergoes rigorous legal due diligence, and all projects are RERA-registered, with complete legal documentation provided to buyers. The firm's business model utilises a digital-only transaction model, where all processes are conducted through virtual platforms. For buyers in Mumbai, Pune, or overseas, this means site selection, documentation, and booking can be completed without requiring a physical visit to a sales office.
Mission Blue Zone targets two distinct buyer profiles: the investor who wants land in an infrastructure-growth corridor with a verified legal chain, and the second-home buyer seeking a weekend or retirement retreat within two hours of Mumbai. All eligible plots are RERA-approved, come with clear land titles, and have complete infrastructure development, making them ready for both long-term investment and future construction.
Neral is a rising second-home destination within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Matheran, adjacent to the project, is Asia's only automobile-free hill station, offering a pollution-free environment with lush landscapes that continues to attract wellness, leisure, and eco-tourism interest. For a developer that has built an explicit wellness concept into Mission Blue Zone, the adjacency to Matheran is not incidental — it is the geographic argument for the product's longevity as a lifestyle address.
