Ghodbunder Road is the fastest growing destination for home seekers. Five years ago, it was considered a far-off pace, between Thane and Borivali, that not many were interested in. Over the last few years, the 20 kilometer long highway has seen meteoric growth with major real estate players taking interest, including Lodha, Hiranandani, Dosti, Acme Housing and Puranics. The area has also witnessed the growth of shopping complexes like the Reliance Big Mall, Hyperciti, D-Mart, R-Mall and of course, the nearby mega malls like Viviana and Korum.
15 years ago, Ghodbunder Road was a remote place, typically called a jungle area, with hardly any auto rickshaws plying in the area. Once a disadvantage, Ghodbunder Road has become significantly advantageous. It offers excellent connectivity to western suburbs, Mira Road, Thane, Mulund, Ghatkopar, Bhandup Navi Mumbai, Bhiwandi, Kalyan, Nashik and beyond. Additionally, it links to both Borivali and Thane railway station directly. The strategic location makes it a good choice for home buyers, coupled with the fact that it offers excellent growth prospects.
Ghodbunder Road is witnessing growth of number of flyovers which have reduced traffic hassles and commuting time. With many shopping centers and malls around, GB Road is home to some of the best international brands. There are many schools and colleges in the area, along with day-care centers.
