Runwal Realty, the brand under which Runwal Developers Ltd. operates, has made Kanchpada in Malad West the site of its first standalone move into this micro-market. In January 2026 the company signed a development deal, in association with Transcon and Sheth Creators, for a tower named Auris Serenity Tower 4, positioned as an uber-luxury residence. With over 47 years of experience and 35 projects across Thane, MMR, and Pune, Runwal Realty continues to expand its portfolio of luxury and premium housing, with recent launches such as Runwal Raaya in Worli and Runwal Malabar highlighting the company's momentum and execution certainty. The Malad entry is a deliberate extension of that South Mumbai and Thane-heavy portfolio into one of the western suburbs' more established residential belts.
Located off New Link Road at Kanchpada, Malad West, the project offers direct access to SV Road and the Western Express Highway, with connectivity supported by Malad Railway Station and Metro Line 2A. The area is close to major retail hubs and established social infrastructure, with Infinity Mall located less than a kilometre away, and Inorbit Mall and Oberoi Mall in close proximity. For a developer whose recent playbook has run through South Mumbai addresses like Malabar Hill, Worli and Nepean Sea Road, choosing a New Link Road frontage in Kanchpada signals confidence in the western suburbs as a comparable high-value corridor rather than a purely mid-market one.
Planned as a premium, low-density residential tower, the development will rise over 60 floors, with the first habitable level starting at 100 ft to maximize light, ventilation, and privacy. Part of an 8-acre master plan, the tower will feature spacious 3 and 4 BHK homes, expansive decks, and floor-to-floor heights of 11 ft, with residences offering panoramic views of the sea, greenery, the Pagoda precinct, and Mumbai's skyline. The project emphasises experience-led amenities, including the Sunrise Pavilion, Candlelight Trail, a flowy river, a sunset pool bar, podium play areas, an urban forest plaza, an aquatic flower pond, and more than 40 lifestyle features designed for wellness, leisure, and community living. The formal signing was marked by brand ambassador Sonam Kapoor, and company director Saurabh Runwal framed the move around curating environments rather than simply delivering units, with the project expected to launch after statutory approvals are secured.
Kanchpada sits in the 400064 pincode pocket of Malad West, wedged between New Link Road and SV Road. Malad Railway Station on the Mumbai Suburban Railway Western Line is about 3 km from the locale via Kasturba Road, while Dahanukarwadi Metro Station on Mumbai Metro Line 2 is about 3 km away and connects to Dahisar East. A separate, closer metro reference point on the same corridor is the Valnai–Meeth Chowky Metro Station, alongside seamless connectivity to New Link Road, SV Road and the Western Express Highway. Within the locality itself, schools such as St Anne's, Pinnacle and Orchid, hospitals including Zenith Hospital, Ahura Maternity & Nursing Home and Thunga Hospital, and shopping destinations such as Decathlon, D Mart and Infinity Mall are all within a roughly 2 km radius. Looking ahead, upcoming infrastructure projects such as the Versova–Dahisar Coastal Road, the Bandra–Versova Sea Link and the Goregaon–Mulund Link Road are expected to further enhance access to and from this stretch of Malad West.
The average price for buying apartments in Kanchpada is about ₹34,750 per square foot, a level that already sits above the wider Malad West average, where the average weighted price of apartments is around ₹29,000 per square foot, with apartment prices across Malad West moving 8.6% over the last one year. The broader Kandivali–Malad belt has been re-rated by transit upgrades: the 18.6 km Metro Line 2A and 16.5 km Metro Line 7 now provide direct, air-conditioned rapid transit through the Kandivali-Malad-Goregaon belt, cutting a commute that previously took 70-90 minutes by road to 30-40 minutes. Against that backdrop, a branded, low-density tower positioned at the top of the local price band is consistent with how the market is already segmenting between mass housing and metro-adjacent premium stock.
Runwal Realty is a real estate player in MMR and Pune known for luxury high-rise residences and landmark mixed-use developments, with key residential projects including Runwal Malabar, Runwal Residence, Runwal Reserve and Runwal Raaya in South Mumbai, Runwal Auris and Runwal Elegante in the western suburbs, Runwal One in Thane, and Runwal The Central Park in Pune. On the retail and commercial side, R Square in Andheri and Mulund offer IGBC-certified office addresses, while the retail portfolio includes R City in Ghatkopar West, spanning 1.2 million sq ft and housing over 350 global brands, along with R Mall and R Odeon in Thane West, Mulund and Ghatkopar East. The Kanchpada tower extends this same design-led, amenity-heavy approach into a locality that had not previously carried a Runwal Realty address.
Runwal Developers Ltd. traces its roots to 1978, when Runwal Realty, formally Runwal Developers Limited, was founded in Mumbai by Subhash Runwal, and is today led by Sandeep Runwal, who has built it into one of India's leading luxury and lifestyle real estate developers. Figures drawn from the company's own disclosures put the scale in concrete terms: the company has delivered 35 completed projects spanning 11.22 million square feet, all figures sourced from the Runwal Developers Ltd. Draft Red Herring Prospectus filed with SEBI in September 2025. Independent market data cited in that filing adds further context: an Anarock report cited in the DRHP places Runwal among the top 10 developers in MMR by residential units delivered between January 2022 and March 2025, and as the second-largest developer in Thane by residential units supplied over the same period. As of mid-2025, the company's pipeline extended well beyond what is already built: as of June 30, 2025, Runwal Developers had 35 completed, 17 ongoing, and 24 upcoming projects, covering ultra-luxury to mid-income housing segments. The Kanchpada tower sits within that upcoming pipeline, marking the developer's first standalone presence in this specific pocket of Malad West.
