Godrej Properties was established in 1990 as the real estate development arm of the Godrej Group, a diversified Indian conglomerate founded in 1897. By FY25 the company achieved record pre-sales of ₹29,444 crore, leading listed developers in India that year. It operates across 12 cities including the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Delhi-NCR, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad. That national scale makes its decision to plant two consecutive plotted projects along the Karjat-Khopoli corridor a meaningful signal about where the company sees the next growth chapter of the MMR unfolding.
In 1996 Godrej Properties became the first Indian real estate company to receive ISO certification, marking a milestone in its quality commitment. Over 100,000 families have found a home with the developer, making it India's largest residential developer by both value and volume of homes sold. When a developer of that standing makes two back-to-back land plays in a single micro-market — first Godrej Hillview Estate in Khopoli, then Godrej Woodside Estate on Karjat-Khopoli Road — it reflects a calculated underwriting of both the location's fundamentals and its own product-market fit there.
Godrej Properties has now staked out both ends of the Karjat-Khopoli Road with large-format plotted townships. Godrej Hillview Estate in Khopoli was launched in June 2024 and sold out within two days; it covers 89 acres and includes amenities such as a swimming pool, gymnasium, spa, and tennis courts. That sellout speed established pricing power and buyer appetite in this micro-market before the second project was brought to market.
The follow-on project is Godrej Woodside Estate, located directly on Karjat-Khopoli Marg at Navandhe, Khalapur. Godrej Woodside Estate spans 90 acres and carries MahaRERA registrations bearing numbers P52000077384 and P52000077385, available at the MahaRERA portal. Possession is targeted for March 2028.
The development contains approximately 1,000 well-planned plots ranging from 1,200 sq ft to 2,400 sq ft, positioned directly on the Karjat-Khopoli Road. Prices start at ₹59.99 lakhs. The NA (non-agricultural) plot classification gives buyers the flexibility to design and build at their own pace, which is a structurally different proposition from a flat purchase.
The site has been planned as a self-contained township rather than a bare-land layout. It is a community designed with over 50 amenities and a 24,000 sq ft clubhouse. A 10-acre forest-themed park sits within the development, which is meaningful given the eco-sensitive context of the Sahyadri foothills. Additional lifestyle infrastructure includes a jogging track, indoor games facilities, a swimming pool, banquet hall, senior citizen area, and gymnasium.
Rail access is unusually close for a large-format plotted project. The site at Navandhe sits with Kelavli Station 300 metres away and Dolavali Railway Station 1.4 km away. The Central Line ties Khopoli to Thane and Mumbai, offering multiple travel options.

Karjat sits within one of the 34 global biodiversity hotspots, surrounded by the Sahyadri mountain range, a UNESCO Heritage Site. As Karjat falls under a green protected zone, regulations prevent overcrowding, preserve views, and limit pollution — qualities that make large-scale apartment-style densification structurally less likely, which in turn supports the long-run scarcity value of plotted land here.
Connectivity from the site covers both road and rail. Major road routes accessible from the project include the Atal Setu, the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway, and the New Mumbai-Pune Expressway. The site sits approximately 2.5 km from the Old Mumbai-Pune Highway. Pune is about one hour away by road.
The infrastructure pipeline accelerating this corridor is substantial. The Maharashtra government and MMR authorities are investing in projects including the Mumbai-Pune Missing Link expressway, the Atal Setu sea bridge, Mumbai Metro Line 8, and the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The Panvel-Karjat railway line and Kusgaon bypass further boost accessibility. The Navi Mumbai International Airport is approximately a 30-minute drive from the Woodside Estate site.
The market data from independent sources corroborates the demand story. Between 2021 and 2025, real estate prices in the Khopoli-Karjat belt grew 4.4 times and are projected to grow a further 3–4 times over the next four to five years. Land rates in Karjat have moved up 50% over three years and 87.5% over ten years, per government transaction data. Godrej Properties entered this corridor before the infrastructure programme reached full maturity — the same sequencing the company has used in Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
The Karjat-Khopoli projects are part of a wider national plotted portfolio. Godrej has developed plotted projects in Faridabad, Sonipat, Nagpur, and Bengaluru, among other cities. In 2025 alone, the company acquired approximately 75 acres in Nagpur for a new plotted township project. That accumulated expertise in master-planning, legal title, and phased delivery informs how Woodside Estate's 90 acres have been structured, from the 50+ amenity programme to the MahaRERA-registered plot layout.
In FY25 the company delivered 18.4 million sq ft and added 14 new projects across India. The company has been ranked the number one real estate company worldwide on both the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark as of December 2025. For a buyer purchasing a plot in a developing micro-market, that governance and sustainability standing matters because the developer's own long-term interests are aligned with the quality and completion of the development around those plots.
Karjat and Khopoli together offer a functional layer of schools, hospitals, and daily services that supports year-round habitation, not just weekend use. Educational institutions in the area include D.Y. Patil International School, Smt. Chandaben M. Patel School, St. Joseph's High School, and Karjat College; healthcare is served by Aastha Hospital, Kalyani Hospital, R. S. Hospital, and Matushree Hospital. The site is also close to the Imagicaa Theme Park and Khopoli MSRTC bus depot.
For nature-oriented recreation, the corridor is already established. From the historic Kondana Caves to the Palasdhari and Kalote waterfalls, leisure and recreation options are varied. A Reliance SEZ is situated a short drive from the project location, pointing to the industrial employment base that will drive residential demand beyond pure second-home and investment buyers.
Market analysts have noted that when tier-1 developers enter an emerging market, retail plot prices typically rise 30–50% within 12–18 months. Godrej Properties arrived in this corridor ahead of the completion of the Missing Link and the full operationalisation of the Navi Mumbai International Airport — the two infrastructure events most widely cited by research firms as the primary demand catalysts for land in the Karjat-Khopoli belt.
