    For every family in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) which

    dreams of a home of its own, Thane offers what is arguably the widestrange of residential real estate, across price points and across budgets.

    If you have a dream home, you can make it a reality in Thane. From

    'budget homes' to homes in the 'mid-range' and on to 'high-end,

    premium' homes, Thane has it all

    par with any residential location in the

    Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

    Future Perfect

    Thane has evolved into an ideal

    residential destination over the years,

    and its future promises to be even

    better. The best part of Thane: it has

    something for everyone, from the'common man' to a 'high profile

    resident'. Going into the future, it

    shows potential to be a global city of

    repute, if one considers the various

    infrastructure projects which are in the

    pipeline, like the monorail project, for

    instance.

    Major Resident ial Locations:

    Thane has six major locations where

    home seekers will find their dream

    homes become a reality. These are: (i)

    Thane City (ii) Wagle Estate (iii) Pokhran

    I & II (iv) Balkum (v) Kolshet and (vi)

    All About Thane:

    From being Mumbai's 'Sister City' and

    not glamorous at that in the 1960s

    and '70s, Thane has broken out of the

    perception of being the equivalent of a

    smal l t ime suburb of Mumbai.

    Perceptions change, once you step into

    this verdant green, clean and safe city,

    which has been magically transformed

    in all aspects.

    More about Thane:

    Wide roads that provide excellent

    connectivity, some of the best

    infrastructure, lif estyle-plus living, some

    of the best academic & medical

    facilities, excellent retail and shopping

    as also amusement and entertainment

    and all this, in a setting that offers

    Real Estate of global standards Thane,

    over the past few years, has morphed

    and become an urban conglomerate on

    Ghodbunder Road. Wagle Estate is

    largely an industrial area with a strong

    I.T. presen ce.

    No Longer in Mumbai's

    Shadow

    Now a home destination of 'choice',

    Thane has gone beyond the previous

    perception of being in Mumbai's

    shadow. The real estate offerings in

    Thane have catapulted it in to becoming

    the ideal residential destination - it is

    truly, the 'supermarket' of residential

    options, spanning across budgets and

    locations.

    Value for Money

    Buying a home in Thane is cost effective

    - easier on your wallet, both in terms of

    the actual cost vis-a-vis similar projects

    in suburban Mumbai or in terms of

    monthly maintenance charges, which

    are also lower in comparison. Easy

    Some of Thane's major residential locations

    are as follows:

    Old Thane City:

    This is where the

    foundation of Thane asa city was laid, and to

    his day, it enjoys prime

    position in t erms of real

    estate pricing you will

    f i nd some o f t he

    highest-priced realty in Thane located here. In terms of

    its realty mix, this locale has a dominance of old

    residential buildings, industrial estates, commercial

    complexes, high-street retail and hotels, and is spread

    over various location like Kopri Colony, Panchpakhadi,

    Khopat, Eastern Express Highway.

    This locale is all set for some major redevelopment

    projects, and most of the existing old societies are in

    line for re-development.

    It is typically a commercial area with a few residential

    projects that are among the most expensive available in

    Thane. Any good project coming up in these locations

    fetches a good price because of proximity to the

    commercial centre, the railway station as also the

    demand / supply factor.

    Pokhran I & II: This is the equivalent of Thane's

    location, far away from noise and air pollution.

    Located 5 kms from Thane station, it enjoys proximity

    to schools, hospitals, retail and shopping malls and

    entertainment. Offering easy access to Old Bhiwandi

    Road, New Nashik By-pass, Eastern Express Highway

    and the Ghodbunder Road, it offers a good option for

    home buyers.

    Balkum:Perpendicular to Ghodbunder Road on theThane end and extending towards the Nashik By-pass,

    Balkum is located 4 kms from Thane railway station.

    This stretch is expected to be the next residential hub

    after Ghodbunder Road. It has the presence of high-

    end residential and township projects by big

    developers.

    Nashik By-pass: This is a stretch that begins fromKapurbawdi ,

    where Lodha

    and Rustomjee

    have upcoming

    projects. From

    the Toll Naka,

    towards Kalyan/

    Bhiwandi, vast

    tracts of open land is set to become the New Thane,and home seekers will find this the ideal future

    residential hub .

    Green Zone, due to its proximity to Yeoor Hills and its

    abundant greenery as also Upvan Lake. In terms of

    residential, t his locale commands a premium. Pokhran I

    & II are situated 3.4 and 4.8 kms from Thane railway

    station and were known as the 'base' for reputed

    companies like Raymond, Glaxo, Cadbury's etc.

    Projects in Pokhran have a good demand, especially for

    premium residential. Among its 'positives' are close

    proximity to Schools, Hospitals, Shopping and other

    recreational activities. Complexes like Siddhachal,

    Hiranandani Meadows are a home for upper higher

    income groups.

    Kolshet: If Thane has been the location where

    industrial usage gave way to residential, Kolshet Road

    is the 'poster boy' of this major shift: from Industries to

    Residential complexes. Kolshet is a serene green

    Ghodbunder Road: Better known as the neurban face of Thane, Ghodbunder Road is a new 'c

    within a city' that is evolving in Thane. Regarded as t

    fastest-growing belt, Ghodbunder Road offe

    residential townships, commercial bui lding

    educational institut es, shopping and restaurants.

    It is a major link, connecting the Eastern Expre

    Highway and Western Express Highway. TMC a

    MMRDA have started the construction of flyovers

    the Ghodbunder Road at Majiwade, Waghbil Na

    and Near Hiranandani Estates. These flyovers wou

    ease traffic congestions on t he road.

    In theory, you can get a home in Thane - anywhere and everywhere

    subject to issues like its cost and whether it suits your requirement.That's the theory. From a home seeker's perspective, some locations

    are perceived to be 'hot' and 'happening'. This can be a factor of high

    demand for homes in that area, or simply a matter of customer

    preference. Either way, these are some of the 'hot' and 'happening'

    locations

    What makes a city truly vibrant? In Thane's case, it is simply the 'lifestyle'. Startin

    out as a typical middle class residential destination on Mumbai's outskirts, wit

    stand-alone 'plain vanilla' buildings, it witnessed change with improve

    infrastructure and new projects that offered lifestyle-plus homes. This change

    also reflected in the new resident profile, which reflects a new, vibrant Thane.

    Thane: Current Market Trends

    What makes Thane an ideal location t o buy a h ome? It begins

    with a combination: latest amenities, world-class facilities, a

    wide choice across different projects in lo cations and some of

    the most 'value for money' homes. As a result, Thane's

    property rate gr aph has been moving northw ards since mid-

    2009, and the capital values are estimated by Theme Realty

    Services to be up by almost 25 30 per cent.

    Buyers show higher interest

    Going by records across the past three quarters, there has

    been a gradual increase in number of homes bought in

    Thane. Apart from the normal buying trends, pent-up

    demand for a segment of residences, which was seen to be

    on hold due to the previous market conditions, has a

    started opening up.

    Fence sitters turn buyers

    A potential buyer, who has his finances worked out, h

    selected a project but does not go ahead and actually 'b

    is termed a 'fence sitter'. Apart from the normal buye

    Thane has also seen a large quantum of 'fence sitters' acro

    the past three quarters, and going into the first quarter

    fiscal 2010-11, th e 'fence sitters' are moving into b eing act

    buyers. They seem to have gained confidence to put mon

    into real estate, especially given the improving mark

    conditions.

    Home loans

    A crucial role in stabilising sales has been played by home

    loans. Various schemes have been introduced by banks and

    financial institutio ns across the past few mont hs, which have

    attracted home b uyers.

    Product Mi x

    Theme Realty Services finds that developers are coming up

    with 3 / 4 & even 5 BHK flats, while major demand is still

    registered for 1 / 1.5 & 2 BHK flats. The last three quarters

    have seen major demand for middle income projects, which

    have been selling like hot cakes.

    fledged global city, Thane has indeed, come a long way. With

    better infrastructure and connectivity, Thane has now

    matured into a location where one could think of high-end

    luxury apartments with world class specification and

    amenities.

    Key central suburb

    With infrastructure developments happening at rapid pace,

    Thane has now become a key central suburb. Thane is an

    ideal alternative for people to come and live in since it has a

    city like cosmopolitan feel to it. Thane's huge under-

    developed land and scenic beauty has not missed the

    attention of ho me seekers.

    Huge potential

    The Ghodbunder Road locale has huge potential for real

    estate development. Not only does it link Mumbai and

    Thane, the area provides excellent opportunity to construct

    residential complexes at economical rates. Besides, it is

    covered with lush greenery and natural beauty and hence,

    also offers scope for construction of bungalow plots and

    luxury homes preferred by higher middle class and upperstrata of society. Thane has certainly become a matured

    destination with a very

    strong social infrastructure,

    t rad i t i on , cu l tu re and

    heritage.

    Price Point

    The most important factor

    for this is the price point,

    given that Thane is still do minated by Midd le Income Groups

    when it comes to majority of end users in the market, barring

    a few pockets like Hiranandani Estates, Hiranandani

    Meadows and Siddhachal, which are perceived to be a base

    for Upper Mi ddle class / Business class buyers.

    If one were to ask for one word that defines the changed Thane from days of old, it

    would have to be 'infrastructure'. And, if one were to ask for the one thing that will

    re-define Thane in the future, here too the answer is the same. From better roads

    and flyovers to multi-modal connectivity that links rail and road through the

    monorail, from basic issues like water and sewage to life-style enhancements,

    Thane's success story is truly scripted through infrastructure development

    Scripting a success story,the Infrastructure way

    Monorail Network

    A Monorail Network covering 42 km has been proposed

    three phases. In the first phase, the connectivity would

    between Balkum and Kolshet via Naupada. It will be 16.

    km long with 14.65 km elevated, and only 1.4 km on t

    surface, and 11 stations in all.

    City of choice

    From a time when it was seen as Mumbai's 'sister city', Tha

    has emerged to be a global standard r esidential destinatio

    a city of choice, th anks to infrastructure and this has play

    a major role in the appreciation in values of premiu

    segment homes. Industry pundits say they would not

    surprised to see the prices moving upwards - h omes costi

    above Rs 10,000 per sq ft would not be just in Old Than

    this might become an integral part of Thane's residential r

    estate scene, as we go into 2010.

    New launches during Thane Property 2010

    Jitendra Mehta of Thane MCHI mentions the new proje

    which are in the pipeline, all set for what the 'grand launc

    at the Thane MCHI Property 2010 exhibition. Given Than

    infrastructure and the way its grown, for home seekers,

    might just be the best possible option. The new launches

    THANEPROPERTY 2010 co uld t urn ou t to be among t he b

    options, given that Thane offers a clean, green environme

    in a 'value for money' range of options. Given the sort of ne

    project offerings open for bookings during the Thane MC

    Property 2010, it should be obvious that families will fitheir dream premium homes becoming a reality in Thane.

    Premium @ Ghodbun der Road

    Over the years, Thane has matured as a preferred high-prof

    residential destination. The choices available in projects a

    Real Estate brands a buyer can find in Thane are much mo

    than other upcoming Cities. With the existing and t

    planned infrastructure on the Eastern Express Highway a

    Ghodbunder Road one can easily connect to all the parts

    Mumbai and Suburban Mumbai. Major developments in t

    HIG segment like the Hiranadani Meadows & Estat

    projects by the Sheth

    Group, Rustomjee's

    Urbania, projects by

    Lodha, Dosti Group,

    Vijay Group and the

    R o s a G ro u p w i l ldefinitely please the

    high-profile segment

    buyer, looking for

    nature along with luxury. Looking at the pace at which t

    developments are taking place, Ghodbunder Road, v

    soon, will be the preferred choice - even for the high-prof

    segment.

    Second Homes

    Thane the district, not just the city - has witnessed a

    growing segment o f bu yers comprising those seeking second

    homes that are not too far from Mumbai. After putting in

    long weekdays at the office, there is a desire to get away

    from the hustle-bustle of the city and spend the weekend

    amidst tranquillit y and greenery.

    Since work pressures

    make it difficult to

    take a long break,

    most people havebegun to prefer

    second homes that

    are a short distance

    away from the city,

    involving a drive of

    just a few hours. It is

    this segment that is

    said to be driving the demand higher end projects in Thane

    to a major extent.

    Looking for an upgrade

    The segment of people who are looking at Thane for an

    'upgrade' is also on the rise. Their basic criteria are a place

    with large spaces, surrounded by lush foliage, with a

    peaceful ambience. Thane has a wide array of options

    ranging from one-bedroom flats to penthouses. This again

    makes it a favourite p lace for joint families, as there is scope

    for family members to buy an independent house close by

    once they get married.

    Across Thane, while there are 'preferred locations', a number

    of peripheral locations are also witnessing extensive

    development and large township pro jects.

    Rail hu b

    Thane has good connectivity to the neighbouring areas

    through the Central Railway network. Thane has gained more

    importance in terms of railway connectivity to Navi Mumbai

    due to the Thane-Vashi and Thane -Panvel local train line.

    This year, fast trains have also started between Thane and

    Panvel. Almost all trains going to Konkan Railway from

    Mumbai halt at Thane.

    SATIS

    The Station Area Traffic Improvement Scheme (SATIS) project

    at Thane railway station is already functional, with the two

    flyovers on either side of the station having opened up for

    public use.

    This mega project is perhaps, one of the Thane Municipal

    Corporation (TMC)'s biggest dreams and with this dream

    slowly becoming a reality, life will become even easier for

    Thaneites.

    The 'City Of Lakes' is now well and truly a residential hub

    which has great infrastructure with excellent connectivity to

    all parts of Mumbai and its peripheral areas. From a home

    seeker's perspective, Thane is an ideal residential destination,

    given great rail and road connectivity to South Mumbai,

    Central Suburbs, Navi Mumbai as well as the Kalyan-Dombivli

    belt. Even the western suburb s can be quickly accessed by

    road.

    Families that grow

    Thane has also attracted a large number of young-aged

    buyers for its connectivity. After all, while they desire their

    independence, there is also a need to qui ckly reach the house

    of bot h sets of parents, which makes Thane an ideal location.

    Value-for-money residential destination

    Thane has a well-established image as a value-for-money

    residential destination and it is this segment of buyers that

    continues to fuel the demand for homes there. At the same

    time, luxurious bungalow projects and large apartments have

    also found t akers.
