The Hiranandani Group's presence in Thane did not begin with a single project launch; it began with the same founding partnership that reshaped Powai a decade earlier. Niranjan Hiranandani, together with his brother Surendra Hiranandani, laid the foundation of the Hiranandani Group in 1978. The brothers bought 250 acres of land in Powai, Mumbai in 1985 and started a real estate business under the name Hiranandani Gardens. That project became the template the Group then carried across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Leading the Hiranandani Group, Niranjan Hiranandani initiated Hiranandani Gardens in Powai and Hiranandani Estate in Thane, integrated townships that combined residential, commercial, educational, healthcare, and recreational facilities. Hiranandani Estate is the township the Group built in Thane, part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
Hiranandani Estate sits just off Ghodbunder Road, Thane's major arterial road connecting the city's central and western suburbs. The address itself, North Point, Central Avenue, off Ghodbunder Road, Thane (West), follows the naming convention the Group has used at its other townships. What started as a residential release has grown steadily: Hiranandani Estate is now expanding to 375 acres, and the layout draws its setting from the surrounding landscape, with the township surrounded by the Yeoor Hills and Ulhas River. Over 10,000 families already reside in the community, a scale that reflects more than three decades of phased construction rather than a single launch cycle. Housing within the estate spans 1, 2, and 3 BHK configurations alongside larger residences, and buildings on the property have included stilt plus 27-storey towers set amid designer landscaping.
The Hiranandani Group's activity in Hiranandani Estate is not confined to its original phases. Hiranandani Westgate, at the edge of Hiranandani Estate in Waghbil, Thane, spans 25 acres and comprises 13 towers rising between 47 and 55 storeys. Phase 1 covers six towers with 2, 3, and 4 BHK homes carrying carpet areas from 483 to 1,761 sq ft, registered under RERA number P51700077268. The project carries an IGBC Gold pre-certification for sustainable design. Starting prices for 2 BHK homes are around Rs 1.74 crore, with an expected possession date of December 2029. The project underscores that Hiranandani Estate remains an active construction site for the Group rather than a finished, closed township.
The choice of Ghodbunder Road as the spine for the Group's Thane township was deliberate. Ghodbunder Road connects Thane with Borivali, the Western Express Highway, and the Eastern Express Highway, making travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region relatively convenient. Thane Railway Station, the primary rail link, is located around 8 km away. Metro infrastructure is also arriving at the doorstep: the project has access through Metro Line 4, with stations at Kasarvadavali and Dongripada nearby. The estate is well-connected to business hubs like Wagle Estate, G Corp, and ThaneOne Corporate Park, all within roughly 25 minutes. These road, rail, and metro layers are the reason the Group anchored a 375-acre township here rather than a smaller infill site.
Within Thane's broader price map, the Hiranandani address sits at the upper end. While mid-segment localities such as Thane West, Ghodbunder Road, Balkum, and Kolshet Road are priced between roughly Rs 16,500 and Rs 19,000 per sq ft, premium localities such as Hiranandani Estate and Hiranandani Meadows carry average property prices starting around Rs 19,000 per sq ft. The wider corridor has also seen meaningful movement: pockets like Patlipada and Pokhran 2 have witnessed appreciation of up to 35 percent over the last five years. Forward-looking estimates tied to transit delivery point the same way, with experts predicting 8-12 percent annual appreciation, plus an additional 15-20 percent boost expected once the metro line is completed in 2026.
Part of what distinguishes a Hiranandani Group address from a standalone residential project is the institutional infrastructure built alongside the homes. In close proximity are the Hiranandani Foundation School and Hiranandani Hospital, along with shopping arcades, banks, cinemas, and markets. Hiranandani Healthcare operates NABH-accredited multi-specialty hospitals in both Powai and Thane. Hiranandani Education has educated over 95,000 students through ICSE, ISC, and IB-curriculum schools across Powai, Thane, and Chennai. Within the township itself, The Walk is an open-air retail and leisure hub located inside Hiranandani Estate, supplementing access to entertainment destinations such as Korum Mall nearby.
Hiranandani Estate is one chapter in a considerably larger body of work. Across more than four decades and over 2,000 acres of developed land, the Hiranandani Group has delivered upward of 25,000 homes and developed approximately 45.82 million square feet of residential and commercial space. Its commercial arm built a 2.6-million-square-foot business park in Thane and sold the Powai commercial campus to Brookfield Asset Management for approximately one billion dollars in 2016. The Group has also continued to add to its Thane portfolio beyond the Estate itself, including One Hiranandani Park, an eight-tower complex spread across 21 acres. That combination of a long operating history, an income-generating commercial track record, and continuous reinvestment in the same micro-market is the context in which a Hiranandani Estate purchase in Thane should be read.
