According to the company, the land parcel is strategically located in Patlipada on Ghodbunder Road- a micro-market highly preferred by home buyers due to the value-laden proposition, connectivity advantages, and robust social infrastructure. The upcoming metro line 4 will further improve the area's connectivity.
Additionally, the Eastern Freeway extension will provide seamless accessibility to South Mumbai, while the Thane Borivali twin tunnel project under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) will significantly reduce travel time between the Eastern and Western Express highways, the company said.
