THANE – An Emerging Megapolis | February 2018 1 Thane: An Overview Introduction Thane, known as the city of lakes, is the district headquarter and one of the prominent city in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The city possesses an impressive background of enriched cultural heritage with chronicles of historical importance, dating long back to about 2,000 years. The city is strategically located at the head of Thane creek and surrounded by Parsik hills and Yeour hills. Flanked by Sanjay Gandhi National Park on one side, the city also boasts a presence of around 35 lakes encapsulating a total area of about 40 hectares. With a massive population of around 1.84 mn1, Thane is spread over 128 sq.km. and is the 16th most populous city in India.
During the last few years, Thane has grown rapidly and emerged as a key hotspot for residential and commercial developments. There is a gradual shift in city’s fabric as well - once an industrial hub has now become the city of high rise buildings - thanks to its strategic location, easy accessibility, excellent infrastructure, relatively lower real estate prices and continuous initiatives to upgrade the lifestyle of its residents. The city is gradually emerging as a self- sustaining key megapolis of Mumbai.

Thane has evolved rapidly from a distant industrial town known as ‘Mumbai’s cousin’ to a The Mumbai Metropolitan Region, as a whole, has been witnessing tremendously buzzing real estate destination - and one of the top residential hotspots in Mumbai. Excellent accelerated real estate development in the past two decades. The city of Thane has connectivity to all parts of Mumbai, continuous infrastructure upgrades and availability of large seized the opportunity and very effectively shed its previous industrial image to transform land parcels for real estate development have led to phenomenal growth in this city. As of today, into an ideal destination for businesses to flourish and people to reside. Thane has all the attributes of a vibrant city and can surely be termed as an emerging megapolis In the initial periods, real estate development in Thane was largely restricted to areas of Mumbai. around its railway station. However, the limited expansion opportunities in the core areas caused businesses to expand and flourish in the city’s peripheral precincts as well. Eventually, the wheel of development spun towards Ghodbunder Road and as a result, residential developments evolved in standalone micro-markets such as Kasarvadavli, Bhayandarpada, Majiwada and Kolshet Road, to name a few. These micro-markets are adequately geared for remaining in focus in the future, as well. Meanwhile, established micro-markets such as Vartak Nagar, Naupada and Pokhran road are also likely to witness redevelopment-led projects, albeit at a lower scale as compared to Ghodbunder Road. Thane has witnessed a very wholesome rate and quality of real estate development in the recent past and is well-poised for the next level of growth. The city has well-defined physical infrastructure as well as vibrant social infrastructure with the presence of malls, educational institutes, hospitals, hotels, parks, lakes, etc. Its existing suburban rail connectivity has always worked in favour of Thane’s growth. Planned infrastructure upgrades such as metro rail linkage to other parts of Mumbai, improvements under the Smart City mission and availability of land parcels for future developments have encouraged many reputed real estate developers to make their mark in the city. By all standards, Thane is going to be the next destination for holistic urban growth - and will continue to be on the radar of home buyers.
