Kohinoor Links Real Estate Growth With Urban Liveability

Pune-based Kohinoor Group is repositioning its real estate strategy around the people using its projects, as it expands residential, commercial, redevelopment, co-living and warehousing activity. The shift comes with a 2030 ambition of more than 10,000 residential units in sales and 12 million sq. ft. of commercial development. It also highlights a wider market change: buyers and occupiers increasingly judge projects by connectivity, liveability and everyday utility, not just built area.

For cities such as Pune, that distinction matters. Rapid construction can add homes, offices and commercial space, but the value of new development depends on whether neighbourhoods can support daily life. Access to public transport, walkable streets, reliable water and drainage, green space and nearby services increasingly shape the real cost of occupying a property. Kohinoor’s latest brand positioning, I AM KOHINOOR, puts this people-first real estate approach at the centre of its messaging. The group says it has delivered more than 54 projects, with over 12 million sq. ft. completed and 22 million sq. ft. under development across its business lines. Its project portfolio includes residential and commercial developments in Pune, alongside redevelopment and other specialised formats. 

The numbers indicate a sizeable development pipeline, but they also raise a more practical question for the market: how will additional floor space translate into better urban outcomes? A large project can increase housing supply or support employment, yet its long-term impact depends on infrastructure capacity and the quality of the surrounding public realm. Urban planners say the next phase of Indian real estate will need to connect private development with wider city systems. Higher density can reduce pressure to expand cities outward when it is supported by mass transit and essential services. Conversely, poorly coordinated growth can increase commuting distances, congestion, heat exposure and pressure on municipal networks. This is particularly relevant as developers diversify beyond conventional housing. Co-living can serve mobile workers and students, redevelopment can renew ageing neighbourhoods, while commercial and warehousing projects can support jobs and supply chains. Each format creates different demands on land, transport, energy and public infrastructure.

Kohinoor’s 2030 targets therefore offer a useful measure of how the developer intends to scale. The stated goal is not only more residential sales but also a larger commercial footprint. For residents and city authorities, the more important test will be whether this expansion is matched by efficient mobility, resource-conscious construction and infrastructure that can keep pace. The broader shift towards people-first real estate is likely to continue as urban buyers become more discerning. Buildings remain the visible output, but their success will increasingly be measured by what they enable around them: accessible jobs, functional neighbourhoods, lower resource use and better everyday urban life.
