Hiranandani Westgate Thane – Luxury 2, 3 & 4 BHK Homes

 If you have been following Ghodbunder Road like me, you will know that a project like Hiranandani Westgate Thane pushes the market to new levels. It sets a new benchmark for design ambition, the scale of amenities, and pricing confidence.

As a real estate professional, I spend most weeks exploring the markets of Thane. I study data on how fast homes are sold. I also check how infrastructure truly affects the life of a person living there and the returns for an investor. Here is my take on the project, based on my deep understanding of the market.

The Structure & Mix: Tall, Efficient, Future-ready

Westgate is planned to have six high-rise towers. Each tower will have two basements, a ground floor, and 55 storeys. This is important for two reasons. First, you get real skyline views and a nice breeze. Second, building upwards frees up land for amenities. The homes have been deliberately planned with a variety of sizes:

• 2 BHK homes: 483 / 677 / 756 sq. ft.

• 3 BHK homes: 977 / 1090 / 1276 sq. ft.

• 4 BHK homes: 1622–1761 sq. ft. (There is also a 1761 sq. ft. option)

Here is my take on these sizes: The 483 sq. ft. 2 BHK is a good size for couples or investors. The 677 to 756 sq. ft. homes are a great upgrade for those who want to live better. The 977 to 1276 sq. ft. 3 BHK homes are good for growing families. The 4 BHK homes are for families who need a lot of space and want to stay in Thane.

The RERA ID P51700077268 is something you should check right away, and it is already in place. The expected possession date is December 2029. This date matches the size of the project and the infrastructure timeline, which I will talk about soon.

Amenities: What I Expect (and Look For)

Hiranandani communities are well-known for mixing hard and soft amenities nicely. They have landscaped podiums, a large clubhouse with a gym, indoor games, and multi-purpose courts. There is also a pool, play areas for kids, and even co-working spaces.

I also look for three important details that separate a good project from a great one.

• Lifts: There should be enough high-speed lifts in each tower. A 55-story building needs more than just a good brand name.

• Traffic: The movement of vehicles and people should be clearly separate on the podium.

• Daily Needs: There should be shops for daily needs either on-site or right next door. This can save you 30 minutes every day.

Given the size of this project, you should expect a full clubhouse, strong security technology, and proper readiness for EV charging. If you are evaluating this project, you should ask for the final list of amenities, the expected operational charges, and the podium deck load. This last point is very important for the life of sports courts and landscaped areas.

Location: Why Waghbil Works (Especially Now)

In Waghbil, on Ghodbunder Road, you get the classic Thane triangle. This includes the Eastern Express Highway, the Western Express Highway, and Ghodbunder Road.

The next big change will be mass transport. The Mumbai Metro Line 4 is a 32.32 km corridor with 30 stations. As of June 30, 2025, a lot of civil work is already done. Trial runs are planned to begin in September 2025. The operations are expected to start by the end of the year, as per the state's announcements. This will make travel easier and increase property values along Ghodbunder Road, including in Waghbil.

A second important change is the Thane-Borivali twin-tube tunnel under the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. This will take a longer time to complete but will completely change the area. As of July 30, 2025, the physical progress is at about 8%. It is still early, but even small progress strengthens the link between Thane and the Western Suburbs. This supports the idea that people can live in Thane and work anywhere in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

Market Reality Check: Pricing, Trends & What’s “Fair”

Let's talk about the numbers. The starting price for this project is ₹1.69 crore and more. This price puts Westgate in the premium new launch category for Thane. The average prices in the resale market nearby are still lower. For example, the average price in Waghbil is about ₹13,900 per square foot. The overall average for Ghodbunder Road is about ₹19,750 per square foot, according to online data.

New projects from big brands with high-rise buildings and lots of amenities do have a higher price than these averages. This is especially true now that Metro Line 4 is nearing completion.

My Professional View - I believe that a premium for a good brand and infrastructure is justified here. The main question is how much of a premium you should pay. That will depend on the floor, the view, the tower, and the flexibility of the payment plan.

The Bigger Market Picture - The Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) market sold about 31,600 units in the first quarter of 2025. This shows that it is the leading market in India with about a 34% share. However, sales in 2025 have been a bit slower compared to the high demand in 2024. Some consultants have pointed out a year-on-year decrease in sales in the early parts of 2025. This is because home prices have gone up and the market has become more normal.

My analysis of this is that good projects in well-connected areas are still selling well. But now, prices are being set more carefully, and buyers are negotiating harder on payment terms and for better floors.

Buying Math: Costs Beyond Base Price

When you are planning your budget, you should include stamp duty and registration costs. In Maharashtra, the main stamp duty rate is between 5% and 7%. Additional city-specific charges can make the rate for Thane higher. The registration fee is 1% of the property value, with a maximum cap of ₹30,000.

There is a 1% concession on stamp duty for women. Many end-users are now using this benefit. You should always calculate these costs based on your agreement value. You should also keep some extra money for floor rise, view premiums, club charges, and GST, as applicable.

Commercials at Westgate: What’s on the Table

Hiranandani Westgate is currently running an EOI, which means an Expression of Interest. The payment for this is up to ₹10 lakh. They also have a payment plan of 20-20-20-10-30. This helps in managing your cash flow.

If you are an investor, these staggered payments until 2029 can be attractive. However, you must be realistic about rental income in the near term. You will only get good rental income after the property is ready. Also, consider your cost of capital.

For those who are buying to live in the home, this payment structure reduces the pain of paying both rent and home loan EMI at the same time. This is a real benefit to your quality of life during the construction phase.

Who Should Buy Here (My Take)

• Many people work across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) but want to live in Thane. This is because Thane has good social facilities like schools, healthcare, and new malls. These people will find the location very valuable. With Metro 4 getting ready to start, travel to the eastern and central corridors should become much easier.
• People who are moving from older homes in Thane will get better vertical living. This means they will have better views, air, and light. They will also get a complete set of amenities.
• Investors who are looking to invest for a period of 4 to 6 years can benefit from the completion of new infrastructure and the possession of the homes. You should not plan for quick exits. You should plan for a project that will be very livable in the future and has a strong brand name.

How to Evaluate Your Specific Unit

When you are buying a home, you must look at more than just the basics. Here are some important factors to consider:

• Tower and Core - You should check the distance of the tower from the highway and the future station noise. You should also check the number of elevators per unit.
• Floor and Orientation - You should consider how much heat the sun will bring in and how the wind will move through your home. You should also check if your skyline view will be protected in the future. You can do this by studying the development plans for the neighboring areas.
• Micro-stack Plan - You should compare a corner home with one in the middle of the stack. You must also check the position of the columns and the space for your wardrobes. The efficiency of the home is more important than the carpet area in daily life.
• All-in Price - You should not just look at the price mentioned on the banner. You must compare the final price per square foot after adding the floor-rise charges, view premiums, preferred location charges (PLC), and financial scheme benefits.
• Delivery Risk - RERA milestones are a good start. However, you should also check the contractor’s past record. You must also review the speed of the construction work and if there are enough funds for the amenities.

Bottom Line

Hiranandani Westgate Thane is a project the developers have a lot of confidence in. It has tall towers, efficiently designed units, and a location that will soon benefit from the Metro Line 4. In the long run, it will also benefit from the Thane-Borivali tunnel.

Prices for the units start at ₹1.69 crore. These prices are higher than the average for the Waghbil and Ghodbunder areas. However, there are clear reasons for this higher price. These include the trusted brand name, the high-rise buildings, and the closeness to all the new infrastructure. The EOI (Expression of Interest) window and the 20-20-20-10-30 payment plan make it easier for serious buyers to enter the project.

My Final Recommendation

Would I recommend it? Yes. I would recommend it if you plan to live here yourself or are a patient investor. This project is for people who value a brand that delivers on its promises. It is for those who want to invest in a location that has real and funded infrastructure projects.

You can shortlist your two best choices for apartment stacks. You can then check the total price and book a floor that has a good view without too much heat from the summer sun. If the numbers work out for you until December 2029, Westgate is the kind of address in Thane that should age well. It will be a good place to live and a good investment to hold on to.
