How Hiranandani Group is transforming urban landscapes

Dr Niranjan Hiranandani, founder & chairman, Hiranandani Group, on commitment to World Environment Day

Known as pioneers for conscious consumption and stewardship of social inclusion, the Hiranandani Group has developed sustainable communities. The group has an impressive legacy, having developed 50 million sq-ft of real estate across various locations in India over the past 45 years. As a founding member of the Hiranandani group, I envisioned a utopian ‘city within a city’ that struck a chord between nature and urbanization. It has always been our goal to design a fabric that embodies climate-conscious development principles and resembles an idyllic neighbourhood. In each of the Group’s globally acclaimed projects, space optimization, nature-friendly design, terrain-adaptable structures, eco-friendly materials, and unprecedented infrastructure have been meticulously calculated.

In addition to being self-sustainable, the Hiranandani integrated township development is fundamentally compatible with low-carbon living. Green living is characterized by the abundance of green spaces, disguised utilities, water and waste recycling, green buildings, and habitat for native wildlife and flora.

We are committed to producing a sustainable community through thorough analysis of soil, water supply, biodegradable waste, building debris, and landscaping based on topography. A careful strategy underscores our distinctive development, one that can withstand typical metro challenges like water logging, potholes, sewage drainage, and water supply limits. Consequently, Hiranandani residents’ living standards are substantially improved.

Each of our projects meets the highest quality standards and improves community well-being. By implementing environmentally friendly smart real estate initiatives in developing nations like India, we can significantly mitigate and adapt to climate change, improving quality of life and human well-being.

Green oasis: A sustainable symphony at Hiranandani Gardens, Powai

Located in the most coveted Mumbai pin code, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai is a thriving sustainable community spanning over 250 acres. As a luxurious living destination for affluent families and professionals alike, it offers beautifully landscaped gardens, a pristine environment, and a dynamic mix of residential, commercial, retail, and recreational spaces.

With such thoughtful development, the community has been able to benefit from cleaner air and water, lower congestion, and a safer ecosystem, which has translated into higher property values.

The township can reduce its freshwater consumption and generate a significant amount of recycled water through centralized water treatment and rainwater harvesting. Water conservation is a major issue, and recycling over 4 million litres of water every day demonstrates climate-friendly living. Hiranandani Gardens Powai township also boasts afforestation of over 4 lac trees, treeline boulevards, curated forest space, and plantation avenues as testaments to its commitment to conscious development.

Hiranandani Park, Oragadam: A model of green innovation

Another milestone in our commitment to sustainable urban development is Hiranandani Park, a township located in Oragadam, Chennai. On this 400-acre spread, there are three Miyawaki forests planted in a stratified layer of fast-mid-slow-growing plants. By planting 3,550 trees, a biodiverse ecosystem is cultivated, fostering rapid forest growth.

Further, the 55-acre golf course contributes to the township’s overall environmental health, serving as a natural water reservoir and filtration system. In addition, the township features seven theme gardens spread over 14 acres, serving as green lungs that regulate temperature and create habitats for birds and insects. We also have a water and sewage management facility which recycles 1 million litres of water per day to ensure a sustainable, environmentally friendly lifestyle.

Hiranandani Group is committed to environmental stewardship, which is why we follow sustainable practices. As part of our proactive approach to environmental challenges, we consistently implement green initiatives across all our development sites. Through our initiatives, real estate development and environmental sustainability can be achieved in harmony with nature, creating thriving communities.
