The House of Abhinandan Lodha was founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha and operates independently of the older Lodha Group, focusing on branded, RERA-registered plotted land rather than built apartments or villas. Founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha, the company develops residential plotted land projects, and as of 2024, it reported operations across 16 locations in India, including Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh. Within Uttar Pradesh, HoABL has moved beyond its pilgrimage-led Ayodhya land bank into the state capital, with Sadar Bazaar in Lucknow Cantonment as its address for The Sarayu.
Hoabl The Sarayu occupies a 14.5-acre parcel in Sadar Bazaar, structured across two phases with roughly 219 plotted units on offer. Strategically designed plots with brick work on boundary walls create a unique blend that enables a vibrant community to thrive. The project carries the registration number UPRERAPRJ311468, and it is scheduled for possession in May, 2027. This makes it one of the few organised, brand-backed plotted developments inside Lucknow's historic Cantonment belt, an area otherwise dominated by legacy bungalows, defence establishments and older mixed-use plots.
The plot sits in the Hata Ram Das pocket of Cantonment Sadar, close to landmarks that anchor daily life rather than speculative hype. Cantonment Board Hospital is a popular landmark in Sadar Bazaar, and further medical access comes from Suraj Multispeciality Hospital and ECHS Polyclinic nearby. For commute, the closest transit points are Sachivalaya metro station, Hussainganj metro station and Lucknow Charbagh railway station, with Sachivalaya metro station being the nearest. Hazratganj, Lucknow's established civic and retail spine, is roughly five kilometres away, and Charbagh railway station is about three kilometres out, giving the locality a rare mix: central-city walkability with rail and metro options on both sides.
Cantonment's land market moves differently from the newer suburbs of Gomti Nagar or Shaheed Path, where fresh supply keeps arriving. The average registry rate in Cantonment is ₹3,156 per sq ft, based on 13 recent transactions, a figure that reflects a mature, largely built-up zone where organised plotted inventory such as The Sarayu is scarce. Residents rate the immediate locality highly on daily livability: Sadar Bazaar has an average resident rating of 4.1 out of 5, with commentary pointing to markets at a walkable distance and a sense of night-time safety that is harder to find in newly developed outer wards.
Lucknow's broader property cycle is being pushed by public capital rather than only private launches. The city, rich in heritage and industries, is set to witness a massive Rs 29,000 crore infrastructure upgrade, with new flyovers and expressways among other developments fuelling growth. Citywide, metro expansion, expressways such as the Purvanchal Expressway, and smart city initiatives are boosting connectivity and convenience, and appreciation in the established core has been running at 8-12% every year in upscale areas such as Gomti Nagar and Hazratganj. Sadar Bazaar and Cantonment sit adjacent to that Hazratganj catchment without carrying the same entry price, which is part of why a land-first brand chose to plant a project here rather than in a peripheral growth corridor.
Elsewhere, HoABL's model has been to enter locations early where infrastructure or cultural pull is building, then convert that into structured, amenitised plotted land rather than speculative raw parcels. The company targets high-growth locations where long-term appreciation potential is supported by government infrastructure investment, tourism growth, and urban expansion. That same logic extends to its other Uttar Pradesh land bank, including a much larger riverfront project also carrying the Sarayu name in Ayodhya, and land positions the company has taken in Varanasi and Vrindavan as part of a wider ₹3,000 crore acquisition push reported in late 2024. 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. Sadar Bazaar in Lucknow represents the same approach applied to a dense, established Cantonment address instead of a pilgrimage or coastal one: buy into infrastructure-linked, undersupplied urban land and deliver it as a branded, RERA-registered plotted community.
For a plotted-land buyer, the appeal of The Sarayu in Sadar Bazaar rests on three verifiable points: a registered project (UPRERAPRJ311468) with a stated possession timeline of May 2027, a scarce 14.5-acre plotted layout inside a Cantonment zone that rarely releases organised new supply, and a locality already scoring 4.1 out of 5 on resident-reported connectivity and everyday convenience. Sadar Bazaar is connected to other parts of the city via Sachivalaya metro station, apart from Hussainganj metro station, Hazratganj Metro Station, and Lucknow Charbagh railway station. Those transit points, combined with the Cantonment Board Hospital and Hazratganj's retail and administrative base close by, are the practical reasons the location supports both an end-use plot buyer and a longer-horizon land investor.
