Borivali Emerges as a Key Residential Hub in Mumbai: Rohan Khatau

Borivali is experiencing a steady shift from being viewed as an outlying suburb to gaining recognition as a strong residential micro-market in Mumbai’s property landscape. The continuous flow of commuters and the rising number of construction projects along the Western Express Highway illustrate the locality’s growing relevance. Improved civic infrastructure, expanding metro connectivity, and consistent demand from end-users are drawing homebuyers who value larger living spaces, thoughtful layouts, and long-term quality of life over mere proximity to commercial centres.

Positioned along Mumbai’s western corridor, Borivali benefits from convenient access to key business districts including Andheri, Goregaon, and Malad. Strengthened transport networks—covering suburban rail, arterial roadways, and upcoming metro routes—have eased travel times and enhanced daily convenience, making the area attractive to professionals and families alike. Market participants note that buyer activity in Borivali is primarily end-user driven, which has helped maintain stability in the local housing market. “The western suburbs continue to attract purchasers seeking better space and infrastructure-led locations,” said Rohan Khatau, Director, CCI Projects, highlighting the increasing demand for residential projects that offer privacy, safety, and integrated lifestyle features.

Changing preferences following the pandemic have further shaped buyer behaviour, with greater emphasis on spacious homes, improved ventilation, and community-oriented environments. In response, developers are accelerating the rollout of modern, well-planned residential developments, especially within the mid to premium categories. The growing presence of high-rise projects, backed by substantial investment and MahaRERA approvals, reflects rising confidence in Borivali’s long-term prospects as a preferred residential destination in Mumbai’s western suburbs.
