The Address & The Vision

An Address Worth Owning

Lodha Lifesciences Hub is a 25-acre research and development cluster within Palava City, Dombivli, conceived as Mumbai's first systematically designed life sciences hub for pharmaceutical and biotech companies. It is master-planned to accommodate lab space modules of varying sizes, multi-tenanted wet laboratories, incubation facilities, and plug-and-play office solutions, with the flexibility of ownership, lease, or built-to-suit arrangements. The hub already counts Encube Ethicals, an integrated pharmaceutical company specializing in topical products, as its first occupier, which opened a 200,000 sq ft flagship R&D Centre of Excellence here in March 2025.

The premise of the hub is straightforward: scientists and researchers should not have to choose between a serious workplace and a livable city. Palava's live-work-learn-play model, built around a 5-10-15-minute principle, puts schools, healthcare, and daily conveniences within a short walk or ride of the workplace. For an industry where retaining specialized talent is as important as the science itself, that proximity is a working advantage, not a lifestyle footnote.

Design at the hub follows the operating realities of pharma and biotech occupiers rather than a generic office template. Facilities are built for 100 percent regulatory compliance, with separate storage units and dedicated support infrastructure, a dedicated water connection, and uninterrupted power through a dedicated feeder. The development is LEED certified, with a stated focus on a low energy footprint and expansive central green spaces intended to support employee well-being over the working day.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region has long housed the headquarters of a majority of India's life sciences companies, yet has lacked a purpose-built, compliant R&D ecosystem to match that concentration of talent. Lodha Lifesciences Hub is positioned to close that gap, drawing on Palava's existing base of over a thousand life-sciences employees already resident in the township and its proximity to established industrial clusters at Mahape, Taloja, and Ambernath.

For pharmaceutical, biotech, and MedTech organizations evaluating their next R&D base in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, Lodha Lifesciences Hub offers a compliant, master-planned setting within a functioning city rather than an isolated industrial estate.

A Defining Address

Off Ambernath-Badlapur Road, Dombivli, Thane 421204 · Palava City · Thane

Lodha Lifesciences Hub occupies a 25-acre parcel within Palava City, along the Ambernath-Badlapur Road, placing it close to Dombivli and Ambernath, two of the newest research and development talent pools in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Palava itself sits between Thane, Kalyan and Navi Mumbai, giving the hub reach into three established commercial zones without being locked into the congestion of any single one. The address benefits from Dombivli's position on the Central Railway line, one of the busiest sections of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network, alongside road access via national and state highways.

What makes this address distinct is the ready social infrastructure already built around it. Palava is a private greenfield township developed by Lodha, complete with operational schools, a 500-bed Jupiter Hospital, retail at Xperia Mall, and residential neighborhoods within walking distance of the hub, so companies moving in inherit an ecosystem rather than having to wait for one to mature around them.

Navi Mumbai International Airport

The upcoming airport gives the hub swift access for domestic and international travel, a relevant advantage for pharma and biotech companies coordinating global supply chains and visiting partners.

Metro Line 12 and New Dombivli Metro Station

Planned metro connectivity between Kalyan and Taloja, along with the new Dombivli metro station, is set to shorten commute times for the R&D workforce living within and around Palava City.

Airoli-Katai Naka Tunnel

This proposed tunnel link is intended to reduce travel time between Palava and Navi Mumbai's business districts, easing daily commutes for occupiers of the life sciences hub.

Dombivli Railway Station Upgrades

Improvements to Dombivli station on the Central Railway line, one of Mumbai's busiest suburban stations, support the daily movement of the large workforce based in and around Palava City.

Why Invest

Compelling Reasons

1

Mumbai's first systematically designed life sciences cluster

Lodha Lifesciences Hub is positioned as Mumbai's first purpose-built research and development cluster for pharma and biotech, addressing a gap in compliant, quality R&D space that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region has historically lacked despite housing most industry headquarters.

2

Anchor tenant already operational

Encube Ethicals has already opened its 200,000 sq ft flagship R&D Centre of Excellence at the hub, an investment of roughly 100 crore rupees, validating the hub's compliance standards and construction quality ahead of further occupier commitments.

3

Live-work-learn-play ecosystem

Set within Palava City, the hub gives occupiers walk-to-work access to residences, schools, healthcare and retail, built around a stated 5-10-15-minute principle that reduces daily friction for scientific and research talent.

4

25-acre master-planned scale

Spread across 25 acres, the hub is large enough to house lab modules of varying sizes, multi-tenanted wet laboratories, incubation facilities and plug-and-play offices within a single, coherently planned campus.

5

LEED certified, ESG-driven design

The development is LEED certified with a focus on a low energy footprint and expansive central green spaces, reflecting a sustainability-first approach to industrial and R&D real estate.

6

Regional connectivity across three commercial zones

Positioned between Thane, Kalyan and Navi Mumbai, with access to national highways, the Central Railway and the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, the hub connects occupiers to multiple established business districts without being confined to one.

About the Developer

Lodha

Lodha was founded in 1980 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha in Mumbai and has grown, over 45 years, into one of India's largest publicly listed real estate companies. Formerly incorporated as Macrotech Developers Limited, the company renamed itself Lodha Developers Limited in June 2025, aligning its corporate identity with the consumer brand that millions of homebuyers across India already recognised. Listed on the NSE and BSE since April 2021, Lodha recorded pre-sales of approximately Rs 17,630 crore in FY25 — roughly 23 percent growth year-on-year — and carries a market capitalisation exceeding Rs 92,000 crore as of mid-2026. The business is now led by MD and CEO Abhishek Lodha, the founder's elder son.

Lodha operates as a vertically integrated developer, managing land acquisition, design, construction, and post-handover services under one roof. This integration gives buyers a single accountable entity across the entire development cycle, from site selection to possession. The company applies what it describes internally as a whole-systems approach to building — spanning structural engineering, sustainable energy, water management, and landscaping — tested at scale inside Palava City, its 4,000-acre greenfield smart city near Dombivali, which already houses more than 170,000 residents and is planned for a population exceeding one million.

The portfolio spans the full residential spectrum: from affordable apartments under the Casa by Lodha sub-brand to ultra-luxury addresses including the 77-storey Trump Tower Mumbai at Lower Parel and No. 1 Grosvenor Square in London's Mayfair. Commercial offerings include the iThink and Excelus Grade-A office campuses, high-street retail inside Palava, and the Lodha Industrial and Logistics Park, which counts Skechers among its tenants and built India's tallest warehouse — 24.5 metres — at Palava. Over more than 100 completed projects, Lodha has delivered in excess of 65,000 homes totalling more than 85 million square feet of developed space.

Lodha's stated philosophy — "Building a Better Life" — is reflected in two concrete commitments beyond the project boundary. Through Lodha Philanthropy Foundation, CEO Abhishek Lodha transferred approximately 18 crore shares to fund initiatives focused on women, children, environmental sustainability, and the preservation of Indian culture, with a total commitment of around 2.5 billion US dollars to philanthropic causes. The company established the Lodha Net Zero Urban Accelerator in 2022, partnering with RMI to reduce embodied and operational carbon across its developments. In 2025, Lodha became the only Indian real estate brand listed on Newsweek's World's Most Trustworthy Companies ranking, evaluated from a global pool of over 30,000 brands.
