Lodha's presence in Gahunje is built around a single, large-format township, Lodha Belmondo, rather than a scatter of standalone towers. Lodha Belmondo is a luxury resort living development situated on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, opposite the MCA Stadium, designed to offer a world-class weekend home experience, set against the backdrop of a Greg Norman-designed golf course and a riverside setting. The address itself carries a locational marker few other Pune developments can claim: the site lies adjacent to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and is in close proximity to the Maharashtra Cricket Association's international stadium, which sits on the same expressway corridor in Gahunje.
Within this larger Belmondo estate, The Reserve is Lodha's more exclusive, low-density enclave. Within the 100-acre luxury resort of Lodha Belmondo, on the banks of the Pavana river, is The Reserve, an exclusive gated enclave of spacious apartments, villas and country houses set around a golf course. Set within the 100-acre resort, The Reserve is an exclusive gated enclave with 28 villas and 6 residential towers, all commanding golf course views and the hospitality of a private members' club. The country houses within it draw a specific design reference: inspired by regal townhouses in Notting Hill and Belgravia in London, the country houses at The Reserve define contemporary style and luxury with a global lifestyle for a selected few.
The scale of the underlying township is what allows Lodha to offer a resort-style rather than a conventional apartment-complex experience in Gahunje. Lodha Belmondo spans 108 acres and features 2,187 units across 1, 2, 3, and 4 BHK configurations, with carpet areas ranging from 495 sq. ft. to 2,120 sq. ft. The centrepiece is genuinely golf-led: residents wake up to the rolling greens of a 45-acre golf course designed by Greg Norman. Around it sits a clubhouse of unusual scale for a residential project — a 50,000 sq. ft. clubhouse featuring multiple indoor amenities, wellness zones, and social spaces. A river frontage runs through the estate as well: residents get access to tennis and basketball courts, scenic jogging tracks, and a picturesque 1 km long riverside promenade.
Within The Reserve specifically, the amenity list runs deeper into privacy and service. Discretionary concierge service is paired with a security system designed by experts from Israel, including personal drop-off points and access-controlled elevators for private and safe passage. The masterplan for the enclave lists a wide amenity spread, from a rooftop swimming pool and kid's pool to a cricket ground, outdoor sports area, jogging and walking track, pet zone, temple, organic farm, and retail boulevard, spread across 27 distinct amenities on the plan.
Lodha has structured Belmondo to serve two distinct buyer profiles under one address. Entry-level studio and compact apartment stock opens the estate to a wider base — studio apartments start at 60 Lac, with 2 Bed Luxe units from 1.40 Cr and 2 Bed Golf View units from 1.42 Cr. At the other end, The Reserve is positioned as a low-rise, larger-format product: it offers 3 and 4 BHK homes with carpet areas ranging from 1445 sq ft to 2187 sq ft, priced from roughly ₹74 lakh at entry configurations up to villa and country-house tiers. This spread lets the same Lodha township serve first-time upgrade buyers, golf-course-facing apartment buyers, and weekend-home villa buyers without leaving the estate.
Gahunje's relevance to a Belmondo or Reserve buyer isn't scenic alone — it's positional. Gahunje sits near the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, one of the most accessible residential destinations in Pune's northwestern growth corridor, with smooth access to Pune city, Mumbai, Hinjewadi, and Talegaon. For the IT workforce that anchors demand in this corridor, the locality benefits from proximity to Hinjewadi IT Park, one of India's largest technology hubs, making it an attractive residential alternative on affordability and accessibility grounds. Employment access extends beyond IT too: the estate sits within a 30-minute drive from employment hubs like Talawade MIDC, Chakan MIDC, and the Chinchwad Auto Cluster.
The area's pricing backdrop explains part of the investment case Lodha buyers weigh here. Average capital values in Gahunje have hovered around Rs 5,150-5,600 per sq ft, appreciating only marginally in recent years, but prices remain roughly 30 percent lower than neighbouring Hinjewadi, Wakad, and Pimple Saudagar — a gap that positions a branded, amenity-dense Lodha address as comparatively better value against its immediate neighbours. Transit infrastructure is also improving: the Mumbai-Pune Expressway connects Gahunje to Begdewadi and Ghorawadi railway stations within eight km, Dehu Road railway station at six km, and Pune International Airport directly via NH 48 at 32 km.
Few Lodha addresses anywhere sit directly opposite an international cricket venue. The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium is situated on the outskirts of Pune in Gahunje village near the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, with a seating capacity of 42,700. The stadium has hosted marquee fixtures, including Test cricket between India and Australia in February 2017 and India and New Zealand in October 2024, alongside IPL matches over the years. For Belmondo and Reserve residents, this means the estate sits inside a recognised, well-serviced pocket of Gahunje rather than an isolated one — the same expressway frontage that brings crowds to the stadium on match days is the road that carries residents to Pune, Mumbai, and the airport on every other day.
Belmondo is one entry in a much larger company footprint. Lodha was founded in 1980 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha and has developed residential and commercial properties in Mumbai, Thane, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru and London. Incorporated in 1995 as Macrotech Developers, the company counts Palava, Upper Thane, Amara, Lodha Sterling, Lodha Luxuria, Bel Air, Lodha Belmondo, Lodha Splendora, and Casa Maxima among its affordable and mid-income housing projects across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Thane, and Pune. Within Pune specifically, the company's core geographies sit alongside its established MMR base: its core geographies are the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Pune, and Bengaluru. That combination of a listed, large-scale developer and a resort-format township gives the Gahunje address a backing that smaller, single-project builders on the same expressway corridor cannot replicate.
