Lodha's presence in Kandivali East is anchored by Lodha Woods, a multi-tower residential development off the Western Express Highway on Akurli Road. The project is a multi-phase township off Western Express Highway and Akurli Road, Kandivali East, with an older phase of 2, 3 and 4 BHK homes now largely at possession or resale stage, while the current active phase offers 4 BHK and penthouse residences. That phased rollout across several towers is typical of how Lodha builds out large land parcels over years rather than as a single-block launch.
Mangal Prabhat Lodha founded the Lodha group in Mumbai in 1980, a native of Rajasthan who started off by building middle-class homes in Mumbai's far-flung suburbs. After his sons Abhishek and Abhinandan joined the business in 2003, the firm went on an expansion binge picking up prime land parcels. The company that resulted, Macrotech Developers, made its debut on the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange in 2021 through an IPO that raised approximately ₹2,500 crore, subscribed 27 times. It was renamed Lodha Developers Limited in June 2025, and reported revenue of ₹13,779 crore for 2025.
Nearer to Kandivali, the group's portfolio spans over 30 projects in and around Mumbai, from Napean Sea Road to Dombivali, with successful projects extended to Hyderabad and Pune as well. Flagship names that anchor the brand's reputation include World One, described as the world's tallest residential tower, Lodha Bellissimo, and Palava, positioned as India's most livable city spread over thousands of acres near the upcoming Navi Mumbai international airport. That combination of a landmark central-Mumbai tower business and a mega-township business is the same playbook visible at Kandivali East: a nature-themed vertical community on a contained land parcel, rather than a sprawling township.
The project sits on Akurli Road, roughly 1.7 km from the Western Express Highway, 1.9 km from Akurli Metro Station and 1.9 km from Growel's 101 Mall. Spread across 4.8 acres of land, the development includes 4 BHK apartments with carpet areas going up to 1,934 sq ft. Across its several registered towers, configurations have ranged from compact 2 BHK decks to 3, 3.5 and 4 BHK homes and penthouses, with 9 towers of G+19 to G+22 floors carrying 2 BHK, 3 BHK, 3.5 BHK, 4 BHK and penthouse residences in the wider masterplan, and later towers rising as high as G+39/G+40 in more recent registrations.
The defining site feature that Lodha has built the project's identity around is its edge location against protected forest. The development sits with two forests inside and outside it — a roughly 50,000 sq ft Garden of Eden within the project and the 25,000-acre Sanjay Gandhi National Park just beyond it. About 80% of the area is dedicated to open spaces, including landscaped gardens and relaxation zones designed to harmonise with the natural surroundings. Within that footprint, amenity design has been split across three registers — a reading area, picnic and barbecue zones, a treehouse and party lawn for the mind; a swimming pool, cricket ground, reflexology path and jogging track for the body; and a Jain temple with a senior citizen corner for the soul.
Specification choices lean premium rather than mass-market: living areas, dining space and passages carry imported marble flooring, while bathrooms feature Duravit and Kohler sanitary ware with Grohe and Isenberg CP fittings. The project carries Maharashtra RERA registration across its constituent towers, with the specific numbers varying by tower and phase — buyers evaluating a particular unit should check the tower-specific registration on the MahaRERA portal rather than a single blanket number for the whole development.
Kandivali East occupies a specific slot in Mumbai's western suburb hierarchy — dense enough to have full social infrastructure, but priced meaningfully below the Bandra–Andheri corridor. Property rates in the Kandivali East market currently range between roughly ₹20,000 and ₹35,000 per square foot, about half the cost of comparable properties in Bandra and Santacruz. That gap is precisely what has attracted end-users relocating from more expensive rental markets: buyers have cited a similar commute duration but improved living space and facilities as the reason to move from areas like Andheri to Kandivali East.
The price trend has been steady rather than speculative. Depending on the data source, flat rates in the locality have moved 2.9% in the last year, 18.0% over three years and 26.9% over five years, while other trackers put the five-year appreciation closer to 21.1%. Either reading points to a market that has compounded gradually on the back of infrastructure delivery rather than a single event-driven spike.
Lodha Woods' Akurli Road address benefits directly from the metro build-out that is reshaping Kandivali East. The upcoming Metro Lines 7 (Red Line) and 2A (Yellow Line) are enhancing connectivity, with Akurli Metro Station on Line 7 providing direct access to Andheri East, and a separate Kandivali East Metro Station improving local accessibility. Road connectivity runs through the Western Express Highway, which links the site to Dahisar in the north and Bandra to the south, while Kandivali railway station, about 10 minutes from the project, gives direct suburban rail access to Churchgate and Virar. Lodha's own marketing for the project frames this as reaching NESCO in about 30 minutes, giving residents a workable commute-to-lifestyle balance.
The immediate catchment already carries the retail and leisure infrastructure that premium buyers expect. Centrium Mall is about 2 minutes away, Growel's 101 Mall about 7 minutes, and Oberoi Mall roughly 15 minutes from the project. Everyday needs are equally close, with a Reliance Smart Bazaar around 8 minutes away. On the civic side, Kandivali East carries a mix of established retail brands and is equipped with schools, hospitals and restaurants supporting a vibrant urban lifestyle.
A buyer choosing Lodha Woods over other new supply in Kandivali East is largely buying two things: the developer's four-decade execution history in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and the specific site advantage of backing onto Sanjay Gandhi National Park while remaining inside the metro and highway network. The project's phased, multi-tower structure means unit availability and configuration mix shift over time — from smaller 2 BHK decks in earlier towers to the larger 4 BHK and penthouse stock in the currently active phase — so the practical starting point for any buyer is to confirm which tower, RERA registration and configuration is live at the time of enquiry.
