When Oberoi Realty decided to plant its flag in Thane, it did not pick a standalone tower — it committed to a 75-acre integrated township. Oberoi Garden City Thane is an integrated development nestled in the lap of nature offering extensive space to recreate and engage, spread across 75 acres on Pokhran Road No 2. The choice of Pokhran Road 2 for a project of this scale signals how the developer reads this stretch of Thane West: not as a satellite suburb, but as a location capable of anchoring a self-contained address with its own hospitality, education and club infrastructure.
Oberoi Realty's roots go back to the early 1980s as a family construction business; since its establishment in the early 1980s by Ranvir Oberoi and now led by Vikas Oberoi, the company traces its formal corporate roots to 1998, when it was incorporated as Kingston Properties Private Limited, before the name Oberoi Realty was adopted on 22 October 2009. The company is publicly listed, and it is listed on both the BSE and the NSE. Over four decades, it has delivered 51 projects spanning 17.3 million square feet, while another 34 million square feet is currently under development. Thane's Pokhran Road 2 project sits alongside a 2026 first entry into Delhi-NCR: in 2024 it launched Oberoi Garden City in Thane, and in June 2026 it entered the Delhi-NCR market for the first time with Three Sixty North in Gurugram.
The scale of ambition here is unusual even for Oberoi Realty. The first phase of the development consists of 5 Residential Towers with over 30 world-class amenities, a JW Marriott Hotel Thane Garden City, an exclusive Private Membership Club and an Oberoi International School at Pokhran. The launch itself drew significant demand: Oberoi Realty sold luxury homes worth Rs 1,348 crore in its newly-launched 75-acre housing project in Thane, recording a gross booking value of around ₹1,348 crore for 5.65 lakh sq ft carpet area over the first three days. The homes on offer are spacious 3-bedroom and 3-bedroom + studio apartments starting from 1475 sq ft, rising over 65 storeys. The first phase carries its own MahaRERA registration, registered under registration number PR1331012400078. Quoted list prices for these residences have ranged from roughly ₹3.25 crore at entry level for 3 BHK homes toward the upper-4-crore band for larger 3.5 BHK layouts, depending on tower, floor and view.
Pokhran Road 2 is not Oberoi Realty's only Thane address. A second, smaller project sits a few kilometres away on Kolshet Road: Forestville by Oberoi Realty is a luxurious residential project in Thane West covering 18 acres of land and consisting of high-rise towers of 60 floors each, built around biophilic design principles distinct from the Garden City township. Across the wider Mumbai region, the company's current residential line-up spans several suburbs: Sky City in Borivali, Elysian in Oberoi Garden City Goregaon, Eternia and Enigma in Mulund, Forestville in Kolshet Thane, Oberoi Garden City Thane in Pokhran, and Three Sixty West in Worli. That spread — from Borivali to Worli to Thane — is what makes the Pokhran Road 2 township one node in a portfolio built around integrated, amenity-led addresses rather than isolated towers.
Pokhran Road 2's road access is a large part of why a developer would commit 75 acres here. The corridor sits close to the Eastern Express Highway and connects onward via Ghodbunder Road and LBS Marg, with Thane Junction, the key railway hub of the city, 7km from here. For residents commuting into Mumbai's business districts, the locality enjoys smooth connectivity to Mumbai and Navi Mumbai along with the commercial hubs of Bandra-Kurla Complex, Lower Parel and Vashi. A metro link is also on the horizon for the pocket, and the upcoming Balkum metro station is within 5 minutes of reach from here. Mumbai's international airport is accessible via NH-48, roughly 30 km away.
The area around the township already carries an established social layer. Landmarks near this stretch of Pokhran 2 include Little Flower High School, Bethany Hospital, and National College, while a slightly wider radius adds hospitals such as Jupiter Hospital and Hiranandani Hospital, supermarkets like D-Mart, and shopping destinations like Korum Mall, Viviana Mall and R Mall. Pokhran Road 2 itself is known for its greenery — Upvan Lake stands at the end of Pokhran Road Number 2 as a renowned tourist attraction — which aligns with the landscaped, garden-led character Oberoi Realty has built into its own township design.
Pokhran 2 is already a dense, actively traded micro-market, with 26 residential projects in the pocket, making it one of the prime locations to buy a home in Thane. Average rates sit at ₹24,400 per square foot for apartments, and over a longer horizon the area has shown durable appreciation: flat rates in Pokhran 2 changed by -0.6% in the last year, 14.0% over three years, 39.0% over five years and 34.4% over ten years. Within that market, Oberoi Realty's own project has emerged as the most actively transacted address: Jardin Oberoi Garden City Thane recorded about 103 transactions, the highest in the area, followed by Asteria by Courtyard with 40 and Embassy One Thane with 34 in the last year. Demand in the belt is also supported by proximity to employment: the locality sits close to established industrial and commercial hubs, which keeps it relevant for both end-users and long-term investors evaluating an Oberoi Realty address in Thane.
