Lodha's presence in Baner is built around a single, tightly defined address: the foothills of Baner-Pashan Hill on Pan Card Club Road. Lodha Massimo is located at on Pan Card Club Rd, the best located project in Baner, at the foothills of Baner. The project sits on land described across multiple listings as roughly 8.7 acres, developed as five towers rising to G+34/35/37 floors, a scale that lets Lodha reserve a large share of the plot for open space while still delivering a tall-tower skyline typical of its recent Pune launches. Lodha Massimo is constructed on 8.73 acres of land parcel, 5 towers with G+34/35/37 floors having 3.5BHK, 4.5BHK, 5BHK Simplex, 5BHK Duplex, and 5BHK Penthouse residences.
The configuration set at Massimo skews toward larger-format homes rather than entry apartments — 3 and 4 bedroom layouts with private decks, plus simplex, duplex and penthouse options in the upper towers. It offers 3 and 4 bedroom flats in Baner with a private deck offering serene views of the Baner hills. The in-project amenity list follows the pattern Lodha has used across its premium Pune addresses — a clubhouse, café, sports facilities and open green space layered around the towers. Escape city life while enjoying luxury in Pune's prime neighborhood, with a grand clubhouse, café, sports facilities, open green spaces, and modern comforts at home. Listings tracking the project describe it as ready to move, with unit pricing for the 3 and 4 BHK range clustering around the ₹3.7 to ₹5.3 crore band across independent aggregator data, consistent with Baner's position as one of Pune's costlier western suburbs.
Baner is one node in a Pune footprint that spans the city's growth corridors. Lodha Group's ongoing and upcoming projects in Pune include developments in Baner, Hinjewadi, NIBM, and Hadapsar, with key projects such as Lodha Panache in Hinjewadi Phase 1, Lodha Bella Vita in NIBM, and Lodha Giardino in Kharadi. Further out on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, the group's flagship regional project takes a different form altogether — a low-density resort township rather than a high-rise cluster. Lodha Belmondo is a 100+ acre riverside luxury resort with 90 acres of vast open greens and a 45-acre, 9-hole golf course designed by Greg Norman. Placed against that spread, Massimo represents Lodha's high-density, hill-adjacent urban format for Pune — closer to the IT corridor than Belmondo, and taller than the mid-rise Panache in Hinjewadi.
The parent company's scale gives context to why Baner, specifically, made the list. Founded in 1980, the company has built a record of over 65,000 delivered homes and more than 100 million square feet of developed space. Lodha Group has more than 44 completed projects across Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Mumbai City, Mumbai suburban, and Pune. Within that portfolio, the brand's better-known towers — landmark residential towers like Lodha Park, Lodha Altamount, and Palava City — sit in Mumbai and its extended region, while Pune functions as the company's second major market with its own set of addresses along the Hinjewadi–Baner–Wakad belt.
The pitch for Massimo rests on proximity to the IT and social infrastructure that has built up around Baner over the past decade. Balewadi IT Park and Balewadi High Street are just 5 minutes away from the project. Balewadi IT Park and Hinjewadi IT Park are just 5 to 20 minutes away from Lodha Massimo. Retail and healthcare are similarly close: Phoenix Mall of the Millennium and West-End Mall are 10 to 15 minutes away, and hospitals like Manipal Hospital and Jupiter Hospital are just a few minutes away. Road access adds the regional layer — easy access to the Bangalore highway and Mumbai-Pune expressway — which matters for a Baner resident commuting toward Hinjewadi's IT parks or heading out of the city.
Baner's pricing has moved with the same infrastructure story that underpins the Massimo pitch. Independent tracking puts the locality's average rate at roughly ₹11,200 per sq ft, with double-digit annual growth. Property prices at ₹11,200 per sq ft with 13.8% growth reflect steady demand from professionals, families, and investors drawn to this well-connected locality 12km from the city center, with the upcoming Baner Metro Station expected in 2025-09. Broader CREDAI-sourced data places Baner among the sharpest-appreciating micro-markets in the city on the back of Metro construction. Upscale areas such as Baner, Aundh, Kalyani Nagar, and Bavdhan have witnessed price hikes of 35-40%, while developing regions have seen steadier appreciation of 20-25%. Some market commentary projects prime Baner rates approaching ₹15,000 per sq ft as this cycle plays out, which frames a large-format Lodha address on Pan Card Club Road as sitting at the upper end of that trajectory rather than the entry tier of the locality.
For a buyer evaluating Lodha specifically in Baner, the case is less about a single amenity list and more about fit: a developer with a four-decade Pune and Mumbai track record placing a large-format, hill-facing tower cluster on one of the last sizeable land parcels close to the Baner-Pashan ridge, at a point where the locality's Metro-driven price cycle is already underway.
