The Address & The Vision

An Address Worth Owning

HOABL Marine Lines Residential Project reimagines a landmark of South Mumbai, the former American Center, as a private residential address. HoABL plans to redevelop the site into a super-luxury residential project offering sea views of both Marine Drive and Mumbai Harbour. The building carries decades of institutional memory into its next chapter as a home.

Living here means stepping out to the Queen's Necklace each evening and returning to a private, sea-facing tower removed from the churn of the city. The old Bombay charm of Art Deco buildings, sea-facing apartments, and narrow lanes that suddenly open up to wide promenades defines the rhythm of daily life in this pocket of South Mumbai, and the project is positioned to inherit that character while offering a newly built home.

The redevelopment approach favours restraint over spectacle, working within the constraints of a compact, heritage-adjacent plot. Spanning around 1,400 square meters, the property is being transformed into a premium residential project that draws on the scale and proportions of the original seven-storey structure while introducing a contemporary vertical residence.

South Mumbai land of this kind rarely changes hands. The availability of land parcels in this area is scarce, making this acquisition a rare and strategic win. With government clearances finally secured after years of process, HOABL is positioned to deliver one of the few new-build residential addresses in Marine Lines in a generation.

For those who value a Marine Drive postcode with a documented past, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of it, built new.

A Defining Address

Sandeep Building, V. Thackersey Marg, South Mumbai 400002 · Mumbai

Marine Lines sits at the heart of South Mumbai, wedged between Churchgate, Girgaon, Fort and the Arabian Sea. The locality is minutes away from Churchgate, Girgaon, and Fort, with Marine Drive close enough for evening walks, and carries an old Bombay charm of Art Deco buildings, sea-facing apartments, and narrow lanes. The area is renowned for its proximity to Marine Drive, the promenade along the Arabian Sea, and to landmarks such as the Gateway of India and Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. It remains one of the city's most tightly held, low-supply luxury pockets.

The plot at the centre of this project carries its own layered history. Built in 1968, the building housed the American Library and the Public Diplomacy Section and, as a seven-storey structure previously part of the US Consulate General, served as the residence for US ambassadors to India until the early 1990s before administrative use by the consulate. South Mumbai's real estate is known for its exclusivity and premium pricing, with residential rates ranging between Rs 80,000 to Rs 1 lakh per sq ft carpet area.

Beyond the Project

Infrastructure & Growth

Churchgate Metro Station, Aqua Line 3

Mumbai Metro's Aqua Line links Churchgate to the western and eastern suburbs, cutting commute times and adding a rapid-transit option a short walk from the address.

Mumbai Coastal Road

The coastal road running along Marine Drive towards Worli is reshaping travel times across South Mumbai, easing pressure on arterial roads near this address.

Western Railway suburban corridor

The Marine Lines and Churchgate railway stations anchor the Western Line, keeping the address tied into Mumbai's suburban rail network for daily commuting.

Bandra-Kurla Complex expansion

Continued commercial growth in BKC keeps South Mumbai residences connected to one of the city's largest employment hubs, a short drive from Marine Lines.

South Mumbai heritage precinct redevelopment

A wave of society and landmark redevelopments across Marine Lines and Churchgate is gradually renewing the area's aging building stock while retaining its character.

Why Invest

Compelling Reasons

1

A documented South Mumbai landmark

The residence occupies the former American Center, a seven-storey building constructed in 1968 that once housed the American Library and served as a residence for US ambassadors to India, giving the address a rare, verifiable history.

2

Marine Drive and harbour views

HOABL's plans for the site are built around sea views of both Marine Drive and Mumbai Harbour, a combination few plots in South Mumbai can offer at this scale.

3

Genuine land scarcity

New residential land in Marine Lines is exceptionally scarce, with most of the micro-market already built out, making this one of very few new-construction opportunities in the pocket.

4

HOABL's first vertical city project

This acquisition marks the developer's entry into vertical, city-centric development after four years of plotted land projects across Maharashtra, Goa and Uttar Pradesh, bringing that scale of ambition to a single Mumbai tower.

5

Walking distance to Churchgate and Nariman Point

The address places residents within a few minutes of Churchgate railway station, the Churchgate Metro on Aqua Line 3, and the Nariman Point and Fort business districts.

6

A cleared, government-vetted transaction

The purchase followed nearly three years of due diligence and required approvals from India's Ministry of External Affairs and the US Embassy, giving the underlying land title an unusually thorough paper trail.

About the Developer

The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL)

The House of Abhinandan Lodha, known as HoABL, was founded in 2020 by Abhinandan Lodha and is headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The company began with plotted land developments in the Konkan region of Maharashtra and expanded rapidly — entering Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh between 2022 and 2024. By 2024, it reported active operations across 16 locations in India, making it one of the country's few genuinely national branded land developers. In January 2023, the company announced a four-year capital expenditure programme of Rs 11,000 crore to fund that national buildout.

HoABL's founding premise is that land ownership in India — one of the most emotionally valued asset classes — has historically been burdened by unclear titles, fragmented documentation, and the absence of institutional structure. The company addresses this by treating every plot as a regulated, master-planned product: each parcel undergoes multi-level legal due diligence, carries RERA registration, and is sold through a fully digital process that works for buyers in any city or country. Nearly 40 percent of every project's land area is reserved for common infrastructure and green spaces, creating community environments rather than raw subdivisions.

The portfolio spans over 1,000 acres of plotted developments, with 13 million square feet of land sold as of company reports and an additional 34 million square feet in the development pipeline. Active projects include Sol de Alibaug on Maharashtra's Konkan coast, The Sarayu in Ayodhya — developed in partnership with The Leela Palaces Hotels and Resorts — waterfront developments in Nagpur, a 100-acre development at Dapoli, and India's first blue zone concept at Neral. In 2023, HoABL formed a joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors, committing Rs 1,500 crore toward plotted and low-rise developments targeting a gross development value of Rs 4,500 crore.

HoABL's ownership philosophy holds that land should function like a liquid, governed asset — not a speculative wager. The company introduced the proprietary concept of New Generation Land: plots delivered with paved internal roads, underground utilities, curated landscaping, and post-sale relationship management, so that possession day is a beginning rather than an uncertainty. In 2025, HoABL extended this philosophy into vertical housing through its Growth Housing initiative, beginning with a township in Naigaon in partnership with Mittal Builders, and acquiring the former American Center building at Marine Lines, Mumbai, for redevelopment. The long-term ambition, stated publicly, is to make land a tradable, high-return mainstream investment for the modern Indian investor by 2028.
