Arkade Developers Sets ₹6,790 Cr GDV in Motion Amid Mumbai’s Real Estate Boom

The next two years are shaping up to be promising for Mumbai’s residential property sector, with demand projected to remain steady in the mid-income and premium housing segments. This positive trend is said to be supported by advancing infrastructure, rising lifestyle aspirations, and favorable demographic shifts. In a recent interaction with ETNOW.in, Amit Jain, CMD of Arkade Developers, shared the company’s growth blueprint in line with Mumbai’s evolving real estate momentum.

Strategic Expansion: Focus on MMR and Key Micro-Markets

Arkade Developers is reportedly planning to expand its footprint in key micro-markets within Mumbai and explore emerging suburban zones across the MMR. The approach for FY26 and beyond is expected to remain rooted in timely project delivery and construction quality, with innovation, sustainability, and technology playing a pivotal role in the company’s evolving roadmap.

17.5 Acres Acquired in FY25 with ₹6,790 Cr GDV

The developer has revealed that it secured land parcels and development rights spanning 17.5 acres across Mumbai’s western suburbs in FY25, translating to an estimated GDV of ₹6,790 crore. For FY26, Arkade plans to roll out four major projects—including its flagship Filmistan acquisition and three redevelopment initiatives in Santacruz West, Goregaon West, and Malad West—projected to generate ₹3,500 to ₹4,000 crore in revenue.

Robust Pipeline of 16 Projects Across MMR

Arkade is executing six active developments in Vile Parle, Malad, Goregaon, Mulund, and Bhandup, with another ten in the pipeline across Andheri, Dahisar, Malad, Goregaon, and Borivali. This widespread presence reinforces the company’s commitment to shaping Mumbai’s skyline and addressing the demand for quality residential spaces.

Post-Pandemic Shifts: Bigger Homes and Better Amenities

The company noted a significant shift in buyer preferences post-pandemic, with increased demand for larger layouts, better ventilation, and wellness-focused amenities. Arkade has adapted by revamping unit designs, expanding open spaces, and integrating features like smart tech, co-working areas, and wellness zones.

Mid-Income Housing Leads in Volume

Arkade reported that while both premium and mid-income segments are performing well, the latter is leading in terms of volumes—especially across rapidly urbanizing suburbs. Premium demand remains strong, offering a balanced portfolio mix for the developer.

Sustainability Embedded in Core Practices

Green building is at the core of Arkade’s construction strategy. Upcoming developments will feature solar-powered common areas, energy-efficient lighting, rainwater harvesting, and modern waste management systems. Use of eco-friendly materials like low-VOC paints and recycled content is also a key focus, with green certification being pursued to affirm sustainable standards.

Land Acquisitions, JVs, and Redevelopment on the Rise

To scale operations, Arkade is actively reviewing joint ventures and outright land acquisitions. Redevelopment has emerged as a strategic priority in land-starved Mumbai. Collaborations with societies and landowners are helping the company unlock value and regenerate old neighbourhoods with modern housing inventory.

Steady Price Appreciation Expected

Arkade does not foresee any major price corrections in Mumbai’s residential market. While minor fluctuations may occur in select pockets, the city’s constrained supply, ongoing infrastructure improvements, and rising construction costs are expected to maintain or slightly push up capital values. A healthy end-user base and stable employment environment further support this trend.

Decadal Vision: Pan-India Expansion in the Cards

Over the next decade, Arkade aims to evolve into a national real estate brand rooted in trust and quality. While Mumbai will remain its foundation, the company is eyeing other metros to replicate its design-driven, customer-centric model. With an increasing focus on lifestyle-led communities, sustainability, and tech integration, Arkade plans to build future-ready spaces that stand the test of time.
