Thane – MMR | October 2025
From Industrial Edge to Urban Oasis
Kolshet Road has evolved from an industrial pocket into Thane’s most balanced premium residential corridor—anchored by master-planned townships, tree-lined boulevards, and the landmark NaMo Grand Central Park.
Spread across roughly 20 acres at the heart of Kalpataru Parkcity, the NaMo Grand Central Park — inaugurated in 2024 — is a publicly accessible green spine and the largest curated park in Thane. Its lakefront promenade, jogging tracks, amphitheatre, and open-air fitness zones have made Kolshet the green lung of Thane’s command core.
Township Urbanism & the Developer Wave – Inside the Kolshet Road Thane Green Belt
Three pioneering townships laid the foundation for Kolshet’s transformation:
- Kalpataru Parkcity – ~100 acres of master-planned urbanism built around NaMo Park, offering expansive open-space ratios and internal retail promenades.
- Lodha Amara – ~40 acres of integrated living designed around a “private-forest” concept and vibrant community life.
- Lodha Sterling – a low-density, mid-rise luxury enclave inspired by London’s residential architecture.
Building on this base, Oberoi Realty has launched Forestville by Oberoi Realty, while Godrej Properties is developing Godrej Ascend, both along Kolshet Road.
Additionally, Runwal Group, Dosti Realty, and Cosmos Group—established Mumbai–Thane developers—are expanding their footprints with mid- to premium offerings.
Together, these entrants have transformed Kolshet into a multi-developer premium corridor, reflecting confidence and long-term depth in the Thane real estate market.
Commercial & Healthcare Hubs
- Lodha Signet – a modern commercial hub housing clinics, diagnostic centres, physiotherapy studios, and wellness offices within walking distance.
- Lodha Supremus Kolshet – premium office spaces that add weekday vibrancy and support cafés, gyms, and lifestyle services.
- Healthcare Network – Jupiter Hospital (beside Lake Shore Thane, formerly Viviana Mall), KIMS Hospitals Thane (~300 beds at Hiranandani Estate), and Bethany Hospital (Pokharan-2) provide comprehensive tertiary-care coverage.
This blend of workspaces, wellness, and social infrastructure has turned Kolshet into a complete urban ecosystem.

Connectivity & Proximity
Located just southeast of Ghodbunder Road, Kolshet enjoys proximity to Kapurbawdi and Cadbury Junction stations on Metro Line 4/4A.
The upcoming Kapurbawdi Interchange will connect Line 4 with Metro Line 5, enhancing cross-regional mobility while preserving Kolshet’s quiet residential character.
Internal roads link seamlessly to Hiranandani Estate, Patlipada, and Manpada—placing key business and education zones within minutes.
Market Dynamics – 2025
Kolshet Road’s residential market continues to show steady, end-user-driven growth.
Township-scale planning, developer credibility, and a mature social ecosystem have ensured sustained absorption.
The rental market remains strong, supported by professionals from Wagle Estate, Airoli, Powai, and Ghodbunder corridors.
Kolshet’s focus on greenery, open spaces, and walkability continues to define its premium appeal.
Sustainability & Smart-City Alignment
Kolshet’s development aligns with the Thane Smart City Mission’s priorities, which emphasise sustainability, public health, and air-quality management.
Projects like NaMo Grand Central Park and Kalpataru Parkcity’s environmental monitoring system integrate with Thane Municipal Corporation’s Urban Forest and Clean Air initiative.
This alignment between private township planning and public green policy has made Kolshet a case study in cooperative urbanism—a model for how modern neighbourhoods can balance growth with ecological sensitivity.
Beyond Spillover – A Destination Market
While Balkum and Dhokali serve as spillover zones from the Majiwada–Kapurbawdi belt, Kolshet stands apart as a self-sustained destination.
Its green infrastructure, brand mix, and complete urban fabric position it among Thane’s most future-ready addresses.
Outlook 2030 – Thane’s Model for Urban Wellness
By 2030, Kolshet Road is poised to remain the benchmark for sustainable urban design and planned growth in Thane.
Its blend of low-density luxury housing, township greens, and walkable mixed-use zones makes it the reference for how modern Thane can expand without losing its green character.
