Experience integrated living in Palava – the well-connected city spread across 4500 acres
 
With increasing migration, skyrocketing real estate prices, demand for better living space and a pressing need for community living, every metro city needs a twin or sister city to thrive. Building a new micro-market not only provides a cushion for an ever-growing pressure on the infrastructure of the metro city but also makes life easy for the city dwellers.

Developing a micro-market needs more than planning and building facilities. Low property prices and the availability of green and open spaces are among the key factors that attract home buyers as well as new construction in Dombivli. However, what seals the deal on investment is the ongoing infrastructural development and connectivity that connects these markets/areas to the main city. One such market is the Kalyan – Dombivli region in Mumbai. The region has been witnessing swift and steady growth for the last few years. More so, smart cities like Palava, developed by Lodha, are redefining this micro-market with neighbourhoods providing world-class lifestyles and growing entertainment and commercial spaces.

Palava City is ready to move in as well as under construction projects to offer to the potential home seekers basis their requirements.

Spread across 4500 acres, Palava is strategically located between Kalyan, Thane and Navi Mumbai. The smart city is well-connected through rail and road network which currently makes it a favourite amongst the people looking to invest or stay in the KDMC region. Wide roads, shuttle buses and proximity to economic hubs are what draws people from different parts of Mumbai to Palava. And with the upcoming multi-transport infrastructure projects, it will soon be one of the best connected residential and commercial projects.

Roads

Recently, Lodha initiated the construction of Central Avenue, a new six-lane road accessible from Kalyan-Shil Road. This wide, junction-free thoroughfare aims to shorten the distance between all existing and forthcoming projects in Palava and Dombivli. Palava's smart city infrastructure also introduced a new entrance, providing direct connectivity to the Ambernath-Badlapur road via a spacious six-lane road, along with another entrance on the southern side for quicker access to Navi Mumbai through the Taloja bypass road. Additionally, the Dombivli-Mankoli bridge facilitates seamless connectivity between Dombivli and Mankoli, augmenting transportation infrastructure in the area. These recent advancements significantly reduce travel time for residents and enhance their daily commuting experience.

Travel Time

• Palava to Nilje Station: 10 min
• Palava to Dombivli station: 15 min
• Commercial Hubs of Airoli and Mahape: 30 min
• South Mumbai: 60 min

Work has already started on road widening and concretization of Kalyan-Shil road from 4 lanes to 6 lanes. As an extension of this project, a flyover will soon be constructed in front of the Xperia Mall for congestion-free access. Work on the Airoli-Katai Naka Freeway with elevated corridor and tunnel is also in full swing. With the opening of this tunnel and elevated corridor travel time to Airoli will be reduced by half an hour.

Another flyover at Shilphata junction (along the Shilphata Mhape road) and an underpass along the Mumbra to Panvel road, are planned that will ease the traffic congestion at the junction and provide free flow to the traffic towards Kalyan. Moreover, the proposed road widening of the Taloja Bypass road and concretization of the Ambernath-Badlapur road will further enhance the connectivity of the region to different parts of MMR.

Metro

Maharashtra Cabinet has already approved the 25-km long Kalyan Metro Route or Kalyan-Taloja Metro Route, one of the longest metro corridors with 17 stations including 3 stations within Palava. This metro line will further connect to Metro Line 5 [Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan] on one side and the Navi Mumbai Airport Metro Line on the other.

Rail

The region is also well connected by rail. Nilje, the railway station next to Palava has 16 trains that connect the region to Vasai (Western Line), Thane (Central Line) and Panvel (Harbour Line). With Diva station on the Central Line upgraded to the sub-urban section, the network will see more trains and increased connectivity soon.

Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority (MCZMA) has approved the 5th and 6th railway lines between Thane and Diva, which will segregate the outstation and suburban train operations. This will increase the frequency of trains on the Diva – Panvel line, cut travelling time and enhance the region’s rail connectivity.

Palava is an example of a thriving smart city with quality residential avenues, commercial offices within walking distance, world-class technology and a city that is designed to provide an integrated unparalleled quality of life.

Shopping & Entertainment:

The region is home to Xperia Mall by Lodha at Palava City, one of the most prominent shopping malls in the history of Mumbai which has revolutionized shopping and family entertainment since its inception. It is one of the finest malls in Dombivli. The mall is a great equilibrium of international and homegrown brands.

Xperia Mall also houses one of the most popular food courts in town with over 35 delectable cuisines to choose from. For a quick bite or a leisurely meal, the Food Court at Xperia Mall caters to the palate of one and all.
