Lodha, the Mumbai-headquartered developer founded in 1980 by Mangal Prabhat Lodha and listed on the NSE and BSE as Macrotech Developers before its 2025 rebrand to Lodha Developers, treats Kharadi as a multi-project corridor rather than a one-off launch. Alongside Lodha Giardino, the group's presence on Upper Kharadi Main Road includes Lodha Camelot and Lodha Estilo, both positioned in the same Upper Kharadi belt near Kapila Resort and the Nagar Road junction. This clustering is consistent with how Lodha has developed residential and commercial properties in Mumbai, Thane, Hyderabad, Pune, Bengaluru and London, building depth in select micro-markets rather than spreading thin across a city.
Lodha Giardino, situated on Upper Kharadi Main Road in Pune, offers 2 and 3 BHK configurations within its four towers spanning 27 storeys. The project is designed across a rich verdant landscape spanning its acreage, offering a multitude of experiences and delightful environments, with over 1000 trees of different species, swimming pools, an engaging kid's play village, a serene temple and outdoor work-from-home spaces. The clubhouse component runs to roughly 18,000 sq ft, and the design brief extends to lavish 4 bed garden residences and penthouses alongside the core 2 and 3 BHK stock. Positioning is deliberately IT-corridor first: the project sits just 100m away from Upper Kharadi main road connecting Kharadi to Nagar Road, putting EON IT Park, WTC, Zensar and Commerzone within a roughly 10-minute drive.
Lodha Camelot, sited close by in the same Upper Kharadi pocket, carries the group's larger-format play with 3, 3.5 and 4 BHK homes on a bigger land parcel, aimed at buyers who want more space without leaving the Kharadi-Nagar Road catchment. Lodha Estilo, on a smaller 3.13-acre parcel, is built as three towers of G+27 floors carrying 3.5 and 4 BHK premium residences, again within roughly a kilometre of the World Trade Centre and EON IT Park. Read together, the three projects give Lodha a spread across compact 2 BHK entry points through to larger family and premium formats inside the same few hundred metres of Upper Kharadi Main Road, letting a buyer move within the Lodha portfolio here as household size or budget changes without leaving the locality.
Lodha, founded in 1980, reported revenue of ₹13,779 crore and a workforce of 18,634 employees in 2025, and the company's listed structure means construction timelines and financials for its projects, Giardino included, sit under public disclosure rather than private assurance. The group's Mumbai portfolio includes the 78-storey Trump Tower in the Lower Parel complex called The Park, and its broader catalogue spans Lodha Altamount, the World Towers, Lodha Bellissimo and Lodha Park, alongside the large-scale Palava township near Mumbai. That scale is background context for the Kharadi buyer: the same organisation building super-premium Mumbai addresses is delivering the Upper Kharadi cluster, with Giardino's RERA registration (P52100047587) making project-level construction status independently checkable.
Kharadi's pull for a developer of Lodha's scale is tied to its office-space base: the locality has grown into Pune's premier IT hub with over 11 million sq ft of office space, anchored by excellent connectivity to Pune Airport, EON IT Park and World Trade Center. Employers in the immediate vicinity include Credit Suisse, Barclays and Citicorp, which sustains a working population that wants to live within a short commute rather than travel across the city daily. That demand base is reflected in pricing: property prices in Kharadi have been appreciating by 8 to 10% annually, and average resale property prices in the area range between roughly ₹10,151 and ₹11,061 per sq ft as of 2026. Retail and leisure needs are met close by, with Phoenix Market City, Amanora and Seasons Mall all within a convenient distance, and schooling options such as Podar and Dhole Patil sit within walking to short-drive range of the Upper Kharadi cluster.
Kharadi's connectivity is set to improve further rather than plateau. The Union government has approved Pune Metro Line 4 (Kharadi-Hadapsar-Swargate-Khadakwasla) and Line 4A, adding 31.6 km to the metro network with 28 elevated stations, an approximately ₹9,857.85-crore project. Historical patterns elsewhere suggest such connectivity upgrades have pushed property prices up by 10 to 15% over 3 to 5 years in Indian cities, a trend Kharadi's planners expect to repeat. For a Lodha buyer at Giardino, Camelot or Estilo, this metro line, together with the already-functioning Ramwadi station and Nagar Road arterial, forms part of the long-horizon case for holding an Upper Kharadi address rather than a locality still waiting on its first mass-transit connection.
