Runwal Realty, the brand of Runwal Developers Ltd., has been developing residential, commercial, and retail real estate across Mumbai, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, and Pune since 1978. Founded by Subhash Runwal and led today by Promoter and Managing Director Sandeep Runwal, the company has delivered 35 completed projects spanning 11.22 million square feet. Its residential footprint has, until recently, been concentrated in South Mumbai — Malabar Hill, Worli, Parel — and in the western suburbs around Lokhandwala. Key residential projects include Runwal Auris and Runwal Elegante in the western suburbs, alongside Runwal Malabar, Runwal Residence, Runwal Reserve, and Runwal Raaya in South Mumbai.
Beyond residential developments, the company has built a diversified platform spanning retail, commercial, and hospitality, including landmark assets such as R City Mall in Ghatkopar and R Square in Andheri. That existing Andheri commercial presence — R Square on the eastern side — makes the developer's arrival in Andheri West's DN Nagar a logical extension rather than a fresh experiment. The developer knows this corridor's demand patterns and its working population from its own commercial tenants.
Runwal Codename Rare DN Nagar has a single tower with 16 floors and just 68 units, spread over an area of 0.48 acres. That ratio — 68 residences on under half an acre — defines the project's character: this is a tight, low-density building that prioritises privacy over volume. The towers are strategically placed so that no apartments face each other, ensuring every home enjoys open views.
The project is located off Link Road, DN Nagar, Andheri West, with DN Nagar Metro Station 800 m away, Fun Republic Mall 1.5 km away, and Andheri Railway Station 2.7 km away. The full address is Shiv Nagar, D.N. Nagar, Andheri West, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400053.
Configurations run across 2 BHK, 3 BHK, and larger formats. The 2 BHK units cover 859 sq ft of carpet area; 3 BHK units are available in two sizes — 1,101 sq ft and 1,216 sq ft. Both the 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments include a dedicated 8×5 ft walk-in wardrobe space. Pricing for a 2 BHK starts from ₹4.57 Cr (all-inclusive), covering base cost, applicable stamp duty, registration charges, GST, and possession charges.
Runwal Codename Rare is a RERA-registered project with registration number P51800034594. Amenities include a swimming pool, pool deck seating, open air theatre, yoga area, library, outdoor gym, and more than 20 facilities in total. Internal specifications include vitrified tiles, granite kitchen counters, a digital lock, video door phone, and CCTV.
DN Nagar is strategically positioned within the triangle formed by Lokhandwala Complex, Seven Bungalows, and the Juhu Vile Parle Development Scheme (JVPD), and is named after Dadabhai Naoroji. The southern parts of DN Nagar have been increasingly rebranded as 'Upper Juhu', attracting elite housing societies. For a Runwal buyer accustomed to the developer's South Mumbai addresses, this Andheri West sub-locality offers a comparable social register at a more accessible ticket size.
Transit access is a core argument for this location. DN Nagar Metro Station, on the Versova–Andheri–Ghatkopar corridor, is just 700 m from the locality. The Western Express Highway lies 3 km away, and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is only 6 km from here. Office hubs of Lokhandwala, Mindspace, and Film City are within 10 km, and the Santacruz Electronic Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) is at 7 km. That cluster of employment destinations — media, technology, film production — sustains consistent occupier demand in this belt.
Social infrastructure in and around DN Nagar includes 32 educational institutes, among them Dwarkadas J Sanghvi College of Engineering, NMIMS, and Mithibai College. Prime and City malls sit within 3 km; RN Shah International and St. Mary's High are reputed schools under 2 km; Bellevue and Advanced multispeciality hospitals are 2 km away; and JW Marriott, Hilton, and Sun n Sand are within a 2 km radius.
Current property rates across Andheri West average around ₹29,000 per sq ft, with prices ranging from ₹10,000 to ₹61,300 per sq ft. At the premium end — around Versova and the Lokhandwala stretch — average prices range from ₹38,000 to ₹55,000 per sq ft. Runwal Codename Rare, with an all-inclusive 2 BHK starting at ₹4.57 Cr for 859 sq ft of carpet area, sits at the upper band of this range, consistent with the developer's positioning in other western suburb projects such as Runwal Elegante in Lokhandwala.
The area's connectivity sweet spot — Andheri Railway Station on the Western and Harbour lines, Metro Lines 1 and 7, the Western Express Highway, and the international airport all within 10–15 minutes — and strong rental demand from the large working population support above-average yields for investors.
Runwal Realty's presence in DN Nagar is not its first engagement with the Andheri West market. Runwal Elegante, located in Lokhandwala, Andheri West, features the first-ever rooftop garden — The Sky Promenade — connecting three towers 400 feet above sea level. That project established the developer's appetite for signature amenity features in the western suburbs, a design sensibility carried forward into Codename Rare's rooftop lounge and infinity pool.
Beyond residential projects, Runwal Realty's diversified platform includes R Square in Andheri and an upcoming hospitality portfolio comprising five hotels across Worli, Thane, Pune, and Alibaug, deepening its mixed-use development expertise. For a buyer in Codename Rare, that institutional depth — retail, commercial, and hospitality assets operated by the same parent — speaks to the developer's multi-decade commitment to the Mumbai market rather than a single-project play.
