                                                      Introduction
                                                      Thane, known as the city of lakes, is the district
                                                      headquarter and one of the prominent city in the
                                                      Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The city
                                                      possesses an impressive background of enriched
                                                      cultural heritage with chronicles of historical
                                                      importance, dating long back to about 2,000 years.
                                                      The city is strategically located at the head of Thane

                                                      35 lakes encapsulating a total area of about 40

                                                      16th most populous city in India.

                                                      During the last few years, Thane has grown rapidly

                      Thane cluster redevelopment is a plan proposed by TMC to transform the socio-economic fabric

                      Thane has all the attributes of a vibrant city and can surely be termed as an emerging megapolis
                                                                                                                          In the initial periods, real estate development in Thane was largely restricted to areas
                      of Mumbai.
                                                                                                                          around its railway station. However, the limited expansion opportunities in the core

                                                                                                                          Eventually, the wheel of development spun towards Ghodbunder Road and as a result,
                                                                                                                          residential developments evolved in standalone micro-markets such as Kasarvadavli,

                                                                                                                          These micro-markets are adequately geared for remaining in focus in the future, as well.
                                                                                                                          Meanwhile, established micro-markets such as Vartak Nagar, Naupada and Pokhran
