The customer application window opened on 27th June and completed applications will be accepted until 5th July. Lodha Developers has planned a self-contained development of smart-sized 1 and 2 bedroom residences in 28+ storied elegant towers. Besides the lucrative location, key highlights of the masterplan include 80% open spaces, world-class landscaping and prices starting at Rs. 55 lakhs only. The most unique aspect about the project is that it caters to a large untapped market of mid-segment luxury home buyers, who are looking for the right product, location and price point especially within this region. The location has gained popularity in the recent times for multiple reasons, especially its scenic beauty, and better social and hard infrastructure.
Speaking on the success, Abhinandan Lodha, Deputy Managing Director of Lodha Developers said, "We are extremely pleased that we have received over 1,500 applications on Day 1 itself. It shows the confidence that purchasers have in our developments and our brand, and we look forward to this growing interest so that the maximum number of people can take advantage of this great opportunity. Thane is at the cusp of exponential growth and one of the hottest investment destinations in Mumbai today. A self-sustaining metropolis, its population has grown by 117% in the last five years alone and continues to grow by almost 10% annually. The government's planned focus on making significant improvements in the region denotes Thane's importance towards sustaining growth in the country. The area enjoys good connectivity and premium developments at an ideal price point as compared to neighbouring districts, all of which make Thane attractive from both a liveability and an investment perspective. Our development is well located on Kolshet Road and in close proximity to prominent schools, hospitals, parks and business centres. The strong initial response for the project shows the robust demand and confidence in Thane's growth story."
The development is gearing up to be a big-bang opportunity with applications being accepted through a unique IPO styled process- the first ever from Lodha Group in the Affordable-luxury category. Allotment will be done via an automated algorithm on a first-come-first-served basis and customers have the option to apply online on the company's website, at the dedicated Application Centre in Thane, or through any registered channel partner.
