Godrej Properties entered Ahmedabad not with a single apartment block but with a township. Godrej Garden City, positioned as Ahmedabad's first self-sufficient township of its kind, houses 13,000 apartments and villas within a single integrated development. Located at Village Jagatpur, behind Nirma University off the Sarkhej–Gandhinagar Highway, the project is spread across 200 acres. That founding commitment — a township-scale project in what was then a fast-growing northern corridor — set the tone for how the developer has since approached the city.
Godrej Garden City was planned and designed by global architecture firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM). The multi-phase township offers 1, 2, 3, and 4 BHK apartments across phases individually named Vrindavan, Eden I, Vananta, Eden GH, and Green Glades. Several of these phases are now ready to move into, establishing a live, occupied community around which newer phases continue to be developed.
The active under-construction offering within Godrej Garden City is Godrej Celeste. Spanning over 11.05 acres, the project brings high-rise living to one of the fastest-growing corridors of Ahmedabad. Godrej Celeste is a high-density vertical development comprising 38 towers with 31 floors each, offering around 2,132 residential units.
Celeste offers 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments with 25-plus lifestyle amenities including a community centre, supermarket, and three clubhouses. The 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments are each carefully designed for optimal natural lighting and air circulation, with 2 BHK units sized at approximately 534 sq. ft. and 3 BHK units at around 653 sq. ft. The project is RERA-registered under number PR/GJ/AHMEDABAD/AHMEDABAD CITY/AUDA/MAA10290/080622. Possession is scheduled for March 2027.
The location connects well to major roads including SG Highway and SP Ring Road, with Ahmedabad Railway Station approximately 12 kilometres from the site and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport about 15 kilometres away. Within the township itself, key landmarks include Nirma University, a convenience retail store, a school, and KD Hospital, all accessible via SG Highway.
Godrej Garden City already provides a safe neighbourhood for more than 6,000 families. This is a meaningful context for a buyer considering Celeste: the surrounding infrastructure — schools, retail, medical facilities, internal roads — is not speculative. Much of it is already operational across earlier phases. The township is a completely integrated development with schools, hospitals, and shopping spaces within the complex, comprising landscaped gardens, tree-lined roads, and environment-friendly infrastructure.
In October 2024, Godrej Properties made its second Ahmedabad acquisition, signalling a deliberate expansion beyond the Jagatpur corridor. The company acquired approximately 3 acres of land in Vastrapur, Ahmedabad. The project's estimated booking value is approximately Rs 1,300 crore, with potential saleable area of around 0.9 million square feet, comprising primarily premium residential apartments of various configurations.
The land parcel is located in Vastrapur, an upmarket residential locality in West Ahmedabad offering good social infrastructure, with convenient access to IIM Ahmedabad, Vastrapur Lake Garden, the Sabarmati Riverfront Project, and Nexus Ahmedabad One Mall. Apartments in this project are expected to target the affluent buyer segment, with units potentially ranging between Rs 3 crore and Rs 4 crore.
The two Ahmedabad projects — one in the northern growth corridor at Jagatpur, the other in the established western precinct of Vastrapur — represent distinct positions within the same city's market. Gaurav Pandey, Managing Director and CEO of Godrej Properties, described the Vastrapur acquisition as strengthening the company's presence in Ahmedabad and complementing its strategy of deepening its footprint in key micro-markets.
Godrej Properties' timing in Ahmedabad tracks a measurable shift in the city's residential market. The city showed strong performance in the first half of 2025, with sales value rising by 10%, unit sales climbing 3%, and prices appreciating by 7% year-on-year. The total value of primary units sold reached Rs 21,849 crore in H1 2025, up from Rs 19,806 crore in H1 2024.
The Chandkheda–Jagatpur belt, where Godrej Garden City sits, belongs to a corridor that has been among the city's consistent performers. Over the five-year period from 2020 to 2025, Chandkheda and Gota registered property price appreciation in the range of 18 to 25 percent. Current property prices in premium localities including Gota, Chandkheda, and Jagatpur start at Rs 4,000 per sq. ft.
Buyer demand across Ahmedabad focuses mainly on 2, 3, and 4 BHK apartments, luxury developments, and integrated townships — configurations that align with what Godrej Properties has consistently delivered in the city. Infrastructure is a meaningful tailwind: projects including the Ahmedabad Metro expansion, the Ahmedabad–Mumbai bullet train corridor, and the proposed Third Ring Road are set to improve connectivity and open new growth corridors through 2030.
Rental demand in the Chandkheda–Gota corridor also has structural support. Chandkheda generates rental demand from both the student population tied to Nirma University and from workers in surrounding industrial zones. Rental yields in Ahmedabad have broadly reached 3 to 3.5 percent, which compares favourably against many other Tier-1 cities in India.
As of March 2023, Godrej Properties had 92 active and upcoming projects with a collective saleable area of 200 million sq. ft. In FY 2024, Godrej Properties emerged as the largest developer in India by the value of residential sales achieved. Ahmedabad's projects benefit from that scale in practical ways: design standards, procurement, construction timelines, and contractual assurances are all calibrated to the benchmarks of a developer operating across Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Hyderabad simultaneously.
Average property prices for Godrej Garden City moved from Rs 5,150 per sq. ft. to Rs 5,450 per sq. ft. during Q4 2025, reflecting a 5.83% rise in that single quarter alone. For a buyer entering through Celeste, that trajectory — built over multiple delivered phases within the same township — provides a concrete reference point beyond developer promises.
