The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) projects in Sahyadri Hills, Khopoli

HoABL's branded-land model arrives at the Sahyadri foothills

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is a Mumbai-headquartered land-development company founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha. 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. It 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, and in January 2023 announced a capital expenditure plan of ₹11,000 crore to be deployed over a four-year period. That trajectory — from Konkan plots to a pan-India land portfolio built around infrastructure corridors — is the lens through which the company's Khopoli holding, at Sahyadri Hills, should be read.

Aero Estate Gold: what HoABL has built on the ground

Aero Estate Gold is HoABL's plotted development at the foothills of the Sahyadri range in Khopoli. Spanning a 50-acre land parcel, Aero Estate by House Of Abhinandan Lodha Khopoli represents branded land development structured as a secure, lifestyle-driven community. It has been master-planned by internationally acclaimed Sanjay Puri Architects and features a hilltop clubhouse of about 30,000 sq. ft with more than 70 amenities. Plot sizes across the layout are compact and villa-plot oriented — sources put the range roughly between 1,000 and 1,700 sq. ft, priced from the mid-₹60-lakh mark for the smaller parcels up to under ₹1 crore for the larger ones, positioning it at the affordable end of HoABL's branded-land price ladder. The project accounts for over 5.5 lakh sq. ft. of open space, more than 2,000 indigenous trees across 29 species, and seasonal waterfalls within the layout. The layout is spread across 50 acres with roughly 600 plots, designed to provide ample space, natural ventilation, and planned infrastructure.

Why HoABL chose the Khopoli corridor

HoABL's site selection logic across India has consistently followed government-anchored infrastructure rather than existing urban cores, and Khopoli fits that pattern closely. The location sits near the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and projected to be India's largest aviation facility. The development also falls within the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA), India's largest planned smart city, spanning over 90,000 acres. Multiple project listings place the site within roughly half an hour to under an hour of NMIA depending on the road taken, with connectivity options including the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Atal Setu, the Virar-Alibaug Corridor, Khopoli-Pali Road, and National Highway 66. The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, which opened in 2002, has steadily transformed Khopoli from a once-sleepy industrial town nestled between Lonavala and Navi Mumbai into a real estate market that Maharashtra now watches closely.

The Sahyadri Hills setting and the surrounding market

The plotted layout sits directly against the Sahyadri range rather than on flat urban land, which shapes both its design and its pricing logic. The plotting follows the natural contours of the hills, preserving the landscape as it is, at a slight elevation, with Khopoli itself positioned between Lonavala and Panvel. Social infrastructure around the address is already established for a semi-urban Raigad town: nearby institutions include Carmel Convent School, Yak Public School, K.M.C. College, Sanjivani Hospital and Ishanya Hospital, along with retail such as Susan Mall and leisure destinations like Imagicaa Theme Park and Della Adventure Park. On pricing, Khopoli remains considerably cheaper than Mumbai or Pune even as demand builds: the average flat rate in the town is around ₹4,200 per sq. ft, while registry data puts the average rate closer to ₹6,272 per sq. ft based on recent transactions. This gap between Khopoli's current base and Mumbai/Pune pricing is the entry-price argument HoABL leans on for plotted land here.

HoABL's wider portfolio gives the Khopoli plot its context

Aero Estate Gold does not sit in isolation within HoABL's book. The company's own project set spans coastal, spiritual and industrial-growth geographies: a 100-acre development where the Sahyadri hills meet the Arabian Sea in the Alibaug belt, a climate-positive project near Goa's Mopa Airport with a multi-tiered clubhouse and private beach, a 78-acre luxury waterfront development inspired by the world's iconic marinas, plotted land in Nagpur, described by the company as India's number-one emerging city, and a blue-zone development at Neral. Company-reported delivery figures put the scale of this build-out at over 352 acres of developed land delivered in four years, with another 900 acres under active development. Khopoli's Aero Estate Gold is the company's dedicated Sahyadri-foothills, NMIA-adjacent play within that map — smaller in ticket size than the coastal Alibaug or Goa holdings, but built on the same plotted-land, RERA-compliant, architect-led template.

What a buyer is actually evaluating here

A buyer looking at Aero Estate Gold is essentially weighing three linked factors: HoABL's execution template (Sanjay Puri-designed layout, a hilltop clubhouse, and a plotted rather than built-to-suit structure), the Khopoli location's proximity to NMIA and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and the broader NAINA infrastructure push that is reshaping land values across this belt. The location's advantages are generally summarised as strong connectivity, planned infrastructure development, growing industrial presence, and proximity to established tourist attractions around Lonavala and Khandala. As with any plotted land purchase in a still-developing corridor, buyers should independently confirm current plot inventory, exact pricing and construction-stage documentation directly through HoABL's sales channels before transacting.
