The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered land development company founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha, developing residential plotted land projects across India. It operates independently of Macrotech Developers, the listed company run by his brother, and describes its work as building a distinct category of legally verified, RERA-registered plotted land rather than constructed apartments. As of 2024, the company reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh, and develops and manages land projects in Maharashtra, including Alibaug, Anjarle, Dapoli, Khopoli, Nagpur, and Neral, with a reported portfolio of over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, 13 million square feet of land sold, and an additional 34 million square feet in the pipeline. Khopoli, on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway corridor, is one of the more recent additions to this map, entering the company's Maharashtra portfolio as part of a broader push into land near infrastructure hubs.
Within Khopoli, HoABL's offering is structured as a single large plotted development referred to internally under the codename Mumbai T3 Aero Estate. This HoABL plotted development project is spread across 50 acres, with premium villa plots built around a hilltop clubhouse of roughly 30,000 sq ft and a wide range of amenities. The landscaping and design for the project has been handled by architect Sanjay Puri, and the layout follows the site's natural contours rather than flattening it, so that the plotting sits on gently rising ground with the Sahyadri hills forming the surrounding landscape. Roughly forty percent of the fifty-acre parcel is set aside for open and amenity space rather than saleable plots, an approach consistent with how HoABL structures its other branded-land projects elsewhere in the state.
Lumina Enclave, Khopoli is positioned within this same Mumbai T3 Aero Estate footprint as a specific phase of the wider land parcel, carrying forward the master-planned infrastructure, security, and amenity commitments of the larger development while being marketed as a distinct, newer release within it. Plot sizes across the Aero Estate parcel have been offered in a range spanning roughly 1,000 to over 2,000 sq ft, aimed at buyers who want to design a villa themselves rather than buy a completed unit.
The rationale for HoABL's entry into Khopoli is built almost entirely around the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and the road infrastructure now connecting it to South Mumbai. The airport, delayed for years, was inaugurated on 8 October 2025 by prime minister Narendra Modi and started commercial operations on 25 December 2025. Phase 1 comprises one terminal and one runway, handling 20 million passengers annually, with future plans for four terminals and two parallel runways eventually handling 90 million passengers, and the terminal itself follows a lotus-inspired design by Zaha Hadid Architects. For a Khopoli land buyer, the relevant point is travel time: the primary road link into South Mumbai runs via the Atal Setu sea bridge and the Sion-Panvel Highway, which HoABL cites as cutting the drive from its Khopoli parcel to South Mumbai to under an hour once the connecting stretches are complete, alongside the existing Mumbai-Pune Expressway that already puts Khopoli within a comfortable drive of both Mumbai and Pune.
This is layered onto Khopoli's older identity as an expressway town between Lonavala and Panvel. Once a lesser-known stop on the way to hill stations like Lonavala and Khandala, Khopoli has quietly transformed into one of the more discussed real estate markets in Maharashtra since the Mumbai-Pune Expressway opened in 2002. The area also sits close to NAINA, the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area being developed by CIDCO around the new airport, and has drawn parallel land launches from other listed developers, alongside continuing industrial activity from established units in the belt.
HoABL's pitch for Aero Estate and Lumina Enclave rests on the same operating principles it applies to its other locations: legally verified titles, RERA registration, and a digital-first sales and portfolio-management process rather than a traditional broker-led plot sale. Projects come with infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity typically in place before sale, positioning plots as build-ready rather than raw agricultural land. Buyers in Khopoli are largely choosing between building a villa themselves, holding the plot as an investment, or using it as a weekend or holiday property, given the proximity to Sahyadri trekking points, Imagica theme park, and lakes such as Pawna and Tungarli that already draw weekend traffic from Mumbai and Pune.
Khopoli is one entry in a wider set of HoABL locations that spans coastal, spiritual, and infrastructure-linked markets. The company's other Maharashtra projects include plotted land at Alibaug and Neral in the Raigad hill belt, and Dapoli on the Konkan coast, while outside the state it has built a presence in Ayodhya, and later announced projects in Amritsar, Khopoli, Nagpur, Shimla, Varanasi and Vrindavan. In January 2023, the company announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period, and it has continued acquiring land assets since, including the American Center property at Marine Lines, Mumbai, acquired for ₹56 crore in November 2024. Within this spread, Khopoli's Mumbai T3 Aero Estate is HoABL's specific bet on the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's next airport-led growth corridor, distinct from its coastal and pilgrimage-town projects, and closer in character to a metro-adjacent, infrastructure-driven land play.
