Paranjape Schemes (Construction) Ltd was established in 1987 by Shrikant Paranjape and Shashank Paranjape. The company has completed over 190 projects and built over 30,000 homes across Pune, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Ratnagiri, and Bengaluru. Its registered Mumbai office has been at Vile Parle East since the company's founding, and the developer has completed several residential projects in Mumbai suburbs including Vile Parle, Andheri, Goregaon, and Santacruz — a western-suburbs corridor it has worked steadily southward along the Western Express Highway. Bandra East, the southernmost point of that corridor, represents the developer's most central Mumbai address to date.
Paranjape Schemes is a trusted real estate brand with over 35 years of experience and more than 200 completed projects across Bangalore Rural, Bangalore Urban, Mumbai City, Mumbai Suburban, and Pune. The company is a pioneer in developing housing projects for senior citizens in India under its Athashri brand. That dual identity — mainstream residential developer and senior-living innovator — has shaped how it approaches urban sites: compact, well-specified buildings aimed at genuine end-users rather than speculative floor-area maximisation.
Paranjape Athena is a new residential development by Paranjape Schemes in the Teacher's Colony area of Bandra. The project is located on the Western Express Highway, Teachers Colony, Bandra East, Mumbai, with Bandra Railway Station 2.4 km away, Jio World Drive 2.9 km away, and S.V. Road 3.0 km away.
Carpet area configurations run from 1 BHK (446–475 sq ft) and 2 BHK (616–688 sq ft) through to 3 BHK (854–894 sq ft), with Jodi combinations also available — a (1+2) BHK at 1,171 sq ft and a (2+2) BHK at 1,299 sq ft. Units range from 446 sq ft to 898 sq ft across a 0.86-acre land parcel. The project carries MahaRERA registration number P51800049529. The project is under construction, with possession targeted by December 2027.
Amenities include CCTV and video surveillance, a gymnasium, indoor games, a jogging and cycle track, children's play areas, a senior citizen area, a swimming pool, a walking area, and a yoga area. Internal specifications include vitrified tiles, granite kitchen surfaces, branded fittings, a metal door, video door phone, stainless steel sink, and CP fittings.
Entry pricing for Paranjape Athena starts at approximately ₹2.26 crore. 2 BHK units range in area from 616 to 688 sq ft, priced from approximately ₹1.89 crore to ₹2.83 crore. 3 BHK units span 853 to 897 sq ft.
Paranjape Schemes did not arrive in Bandra East without a track record along this same highway spine. Projects including 127 Upper East in Santacruz East and Prayog in Santacruz East are now sold out, as is Geetanjali in Vile Parle East. Paranjape Schemes Prayog was a premium residential project in the prime location of Santacruz East. Each of these projects was positioned on or close to the Western Express Highway — the same arterial road on which Paranjape Athena now sits in Bandra East. The developer's sales office for its Mumbai operations has long been located in Bandra Kurla Complex itself, at Vaibhav Chambers, opposite the Income Tax Office, Bandra-Kurla Complex, Bandra East — which underscores how familiar this micro-market is to the Paranjape Schemes team.
Bandra East sits immediately adjacent to the Bandra-Kurla Complex, which is home to the Reserve Bank of India, SEBI, NSE, and India's largest MNC offices — making it one of the most sought-after residential locations for corporate professionals seeking to minimise commute time. Bandra station on the Western Railway is roughly a 10-minute walk, and the Bandra-Worli Sea Link is moments away, placing South Mumbai within about 15 minutes; the Bandra-Kurla Road and Western Express Highway offer smooth road connectivity.
Bandra East has seen rapid transformation driven by proximity to BKC, stronger infrastructure, and modern gated communities, making it attractive for professionals and executives. Property prices in Bandra East have moved 8.6% in one year, 44.6% over three years, and 22.9% over five years. Bandra East registers an average price of approximately ₹56,750 per sq ft, positioning Paranjape Athena's per-sq-ft entry point meaningfully below the locality average for a new-launch project with MahaRERA backing.
Among all residential projects in Bandra East tracked over the past year, Paranjape Athena has registered 16 transactions — placing it third by transaction volume in the locality, behind Ten BKC and Kalpataru Magnus. For a project still under construction, that level of registered transactions reflects the credibility the Paranjape Schemes name carries with end-users in Mumbai's western suburbs.
Social infrastructure nearby includes New English High School, Guru Nanak Hospital, Palladium, BKC, Pinnacle Business Park, and Santacruz railway station. Bandra East offers rental yields of approximately 5% from modern gated communities, supported by proximity to BKC.
Paranjape Schemes has built its Mumbai presence through compact, mid-scale residential buildings — typically single towers or small clusters on sub-acre land parcels — aimed at owner-occupiers in the ₹1.5–5 crore bracket. That positioning fits Bandra East's dominant buyer profile: corporate professionals and dual-income families whose workplace is BKC or Lower Parel, and who want a new-construction home registered under MahaRERA within two to three kilometres of their office.
Over more than 35 years, Paranjape Schemes has built a portfolio spanning residential, commercial, townships, hospitality, educational institutes, senior living, and SEZs. The company has delivered projects totalling over 15.33 million sq ft. The Athena project in Bandra East inherits that institutional depth — a developer whose sold-out projects in Santacruz East and Vile Parle East demonstrate it can execute, register, and deliver within Mumbai's western suburban market, now stepping into one of its most competitively scrutinised micro-markets.
