The Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) which connects the western and eastern suburbs of Mumbai, passes through Powai and has transformed the real estate fortunes of this suburb which is located along the picturesque Powai lake. Powai has emerged as a hub of economic and cultural activity and a coveted residential destination. Its rapid growth has resulted in the emergence of realty sub-markets such as Chandivali which lies between Powai and Saki Naka in Andheri. A number of top developers have been busy developing premium and luxury residential gated communities here which are in huge demand. Shapoorji Pallonji is the latest brand to make its mark on Chandivali’s real estate market with the premium gated community called Vicinia.

A RERA registered project, Vicinia offers 2, 3 and 3.5 BHK plush residences starting at Rs. 1.75 crores plus taxes. The project is just 5 minutes from Powai and boasts multi-modal connectivity to various parts of the city, in addition to having good quality schools, hospitals and malls located in close proximity. Let’s look at what makes Vicinia a lavish residential space.

Location & Connectivity

Vicinia’s location in the upscale neighbourhood of Powai-Chandivali is its USP. Powai’s growth in the last decade from an idyllic lakeside town into an in-demand suburb has propelled the growth of various sub-markets in its vicinity such as Chandivali. Vicinia enjoys proximity to both, the Eastern Express Highway (5.8 km) and the Western Express Highway (7.4 km). The arterial Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) which connects both these two highways is just 1.8 km away from Vicinia. The Saki Naka Metro station is 2.7 km away. Travel to and from the International Airport (4.7 km) is now a breeze.

A number of business hubs are located in close proximity. Powai with the IIT Bombay campus and nearby offices of top IT and ITeS companies is in the neighbourhood itself. The MIDC in Andheri is 10-15 mins away. Travel to Lower Parel, BKC and Goregaon via the Eastern Express Highway, and Vikhroli-Ghatkopar via the JVLR. Thus, Powai-Chandivali is a well-connected hub with access to multi-modal transport options.

Social Infrastructure

The neighbourhood of Powai-Chandivali is very well-developed thanks to the surging commercial and residential demand. Bombay Scottish High School (2.2 km), MISB Bocconi (3.1 km) and ICFAI Business Schools (3.3 km) are some of the top education institutions nearby.
