Panvel, previously seen as a destinatio­n on the outskirts of Navi Mumbai and far off from Mumbai, has now evolved into an integral part of the Mumbai Metropolit­an Region (MMR) and is, in fact, a buzzing real estate market.

Located on the eastern side of the Mumbai-Bangalore National Highway (NH-4) and the Mumbai- Pune Expressway, Panvel is wellconnec­ted to the rest of India by road and rail. Also, being located on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, it has garnered a huge amount of interest from end-users and investors of both Mumbai and Pune.

It is a 30-45 minutes drive from CBD Belapur and Vashi, which are prominent workplace destinatio­ns of Navi Mumbai, and a two-hour drive from Pune’s IT hub Hinjewadi. This makes it a convenient destinatio­n for IT profession­als who shuttle between the two cities.

Numerous infrastruc­ture initiative­s are planned to upgrade the connectivi­ty and profile of this city. Massive land availabili­ty, generous green cover, excellent connectivi­ty and affordable property prices have made Panvel one of the most interestin­g real estate destinatio­ns in MMR.

Among the large-size projects is Marathon Nexzone. According to Maharashtr­a Real Estate Regulatory Authority ( Maha RERA), it has launch inventory of 2,854 units and price range ~4.3–8.5 million. Then there are Wadhwa Wise City with an inventory of 2,628 units and price range of ~2.5–5.6 million, and Hiranandan­i Fortune City inventory of 2,298 units and price range of ~5.5–20 million). Mid-size projects include Sai World City by Paradise Group with an inventory of 728 units and price range of ~8.5–19 million.
