In Chandivali, off Saki Vihar Road between Powai and Andheri, Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate's presence is anchored by Vicinia. Vicinia is located in Chandivali, a prime residential pocket that sits perfectly between Powai and Andheri. The address is Off Saki Vihar Road, Chandivali, Mumbai. The project carries the name of a group that has been active in Indian construction for a century and a half, and the choice of Chandivali reflects a broader pattern in how the developer has approached Mumbai's eastern suburbs over the last decade.
The Shapoorji Pallonji company was founded as a partnership firm, Littlewood Pallonji, in 1865. Its early public works in Mumbai included a reservoir on Malabar Hill that supplied the city with water, and over the following decades the firm took on some of the city's defining commissions. It built landmarks around Mumbai's Fort area, including the Hong Kong Bank, Grindlays Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Reserve Bank of India building, the Bombay Stock Exchange building and the Taj Intercontinental. It also built the Mumbai Central Railway station at a cost of ₹1.6 crore, and was commended for completing the work within 21 months.
The group's engineering work extended abroad as well: it built the Al Alam Palace for the Sultan of Oman in 1972. In residential real estate specifically, in 2010 it built The Imperial, a residential tower in Mumbai that was India's tallest building of the time. Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate was the first Indian company to construct two 60-storey residential towers in Mumbai. Ownership of the group has stayed within the founding family across generations, and ownership has remained with the founding Mistry family for five generations. The real estate arm today is guided by that same family: the company was headed by a grandson of founder Pallonji Mistry, also named Pallonji Mistry, until 2012, when he announced his retirement and the succession of his son, Shapoor Mistry.
In 2016 the group widened its residential range beyond the premium segment: in January 2016, the Group launched its first affordable housing brand, Joyville Homes. Joyville communities now operate in Virar, Hinjewadi, Hadapsar, Gurugram, Howrah and Manjari. Vicinia in Chandivali sits at the premium end of that same organisation, built by the same engineering teams responsible for the group's institutional and infrastructure contracts elsewhere in the country.
Vicinia is spread over a large land parcel of 6.7 acres. There are 8 towers/wings in Shapoorji Pallonji Vicinia. Those towers rise to roughly 22 storeys and together hold close to 590 apartments across the site. The configuration on offer is 2 BHK & 3 BHK Premium Residences. The area of 2 BHK units in Vicinia is in the range of 671 - 887 sq ft. The 3 BHK units run from around 1016 up to 1194 sq ft, with some larger 3 BHK and 3.5 BHK layouts extending further.
The amenity list at Vicinia covers CCTV / video surveillance, car parking space, gymnasium, jogging / cycle track, kids play areas, kids pool, a large green area, a clubhouse, multipurpose hall, party lawn, senior citizen area, swimming pool, walking area, a designed entrance lobby and a yoga area. On status, the project has ready-to-move-in options as well as apartments in advanced construction phases. The project is listed among Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate's own current Mumbai addresses under the name Vicinia, Mumbai, alongside the group's other regional developments.
Chandivali's position explains much of the interest a Shapoorji Pallonji buyer would have in the locality. Business connectivity from here reaches major corporate hubs like Kensington SEZ in Powai, Boomerang, and the MIDC/SEEPZ areas within minutes. Schools such as Nahar International and healthcare facilities like Hiranandani Hospital are in the immediate vicinity, while Powai's Central Avenue and Hiranandani Gardens offer dining and retail a short drive away.
On the movement side, commuting to and from the area is aided by the Eastern Express Highway, Western Express Highway, and the Sakinaka metro station. The Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) is roughly 1.8 km away, and Saki Naka Metro Station is approximately 2.7 km from the locality. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and Ghatkopar Railway Station are both within about 4 kilometres. Locally, Chandivali is described as an upscale locale in central Mumbai, with the Blue Metro Line's Saki Naka Station linking it to Versova, and the IIT Bombay campus only about 4 km away.
Pricing in the locality reflects this positioning. Average property rates per square foot in Chandivali have stood around Rs 33,200 per sq ft, and flat rates in the locality changed by roughly 6-7% in the last year, about 17.5% over three years, and around 25.3% over five years. That trajectory is consistent with a suburb that has moved from an industrial and film-studio backdrop toward organised residential development anchored by named developers.
Vicinia is one entry in a longer list of Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate addresses across the city. The group's current Mumbai roster includes Codename NP 1-2 in Kandivali East, BKC 28, Shapoorji Pallonji Nine Arcs in Santacruz East, Heartland in Mulund West, The Designate, and The Odyssey, in addition to Vicinia itself. Its premium residential addresses in the city also include The Imperial in South Mumbai and Sarova in Kandivali, while its affordable-housing arm operates as Joyville, with a project on the Mumbai Metropolitan Region's Virar corridor. Across its real estate business nationally, Shapoorji Pallonji and Company has developed over 16 million square feet of residential and commercial projects across India. Seen against that footprint, Vicinia represents the group's mid-to-premium residential format applied to one of the eastern suburbs' more recently organised residential pockets.
