Lodha Sylvan

What to weigh

• SEVEN DIFFERENT RERA NUMBERS ARE PUBLISHED FOR THIS PROJECT, AND NOTHING PUBLIC SAYS WHICH ONE COVERS YOUR TOWER. PR1260002502131, PR1260002502408, PR1260002502618, PR1260002502575, PR1260002502581, PR1260002502578 and PR1260002502576 are all attributed to Sylvan by two independent sources. On a project this size, separate registrations per tower or cluster is standard MahaRERA practice and is not itself a red flag — but it means the single most important number on your allotment letter is the one none of these sources can tell you. Do not accept a verbal assurance that "it's registered"; get the specific number for your specific tower and flat, and verify only that one against the MahaRERA portal.
• Floors are published four different ways — G+30 in the client's own brief and our two strongest portal sources, G+22 on a third, and 36 total floors, roughly G+35, on a fourth. A fourteen-storey spread changes the lift wait, the view, the wind load and the fire-safety category of the building you are buying into. Establish the sanctioned floor count for your specific tower from the layout plan before choosing a unit.
• Flats per floor and lift count move together everywhere except one source, and that source moves both in the worse direction at once: 6 flats per floor on only 2 lifts, against the 4 flats and 3 to 4 lifts every other reading gives. Two lifts serving 6 flats across 30-plus floors would be genuinely poor service in a tower this tall. Confirm the count for your tower rather than assuming the better reading applies project-wide.
• THE PUBLISHED UNIT TOTAL DOES NOT MULTIPLY OUT AGAINST ANY PUBLISHED VERSION OF THE STRUCTURE. Two sources give 1,062 units and a third gives approximately 1,200. Sixteen towers at G+30 and four flats per floor works out to roughly 1,984 homes; even the eleven towers the brief describes as currently released, at the same rate, is roughly 1,364. No combination of the numbers on this page reproduces either published total, which means at least one of tower count, floor count, flats-per-floor or unit total is wrong, or the true occupied density is meaningfully different from what any single source states.
• The master plan names towers T1, T2 and T13 through T16 — six towers, not the eleven the brief describes as currently in release — and nowhere have we found a statement of which of the sixteen towers are actually open for booking today. Ask specifically which tower number you are being sold, and whether it is one of the six that are named anywhere in the public record.
• One developer-facing microsite for this project gives an address — Sai Nagar, Gahunje Road, near the MCA Stadium, St Tukaram Nagar — that is not Hinjewadi Phase 3 at all. It is, almost verbatim, the Mamurdi address of an unrelated project we already list, Goyal My Home Sanctuary, roughly 20 km away. This reads as boilerplate copied from a different listing rather than a genuine second address, but it is exactly the kind of error that should make you distrust anything else on that page until it is independently checked.
• Lodha carries two live, named MahaRERA matters in Pune, and while neither touches Sylvan, both are worth reading. In April 2026 MahaRERA directed Lodha to clarify the "refuge floor" status of a flat and refund excess pre-possession maintenance at Lodha Belmondo, Maval — a genuine adverse finding on documentation and billing. In May 2026 MahaRERA dismissed a buyer's complaint against Lodha over the Kharadi Pune Phase II project as premature, after the developer issued a Final Notice before Termination for the buyer's failure to sign the agreement of sale — a case Lodha won, but also a live demonstration of how the company enforces its own timelines against a slow buyer. Separately, three Lodha-linked projects in Thane are reported as seeking voluntary deregistration, which is a corporate-level signal worth knowing even though it is unrelated to Pune.
• At roughly ₹13,750 per carpet sq ft, this is the most expensive project we cover by a wide margin, and the premium over the surrounding Hinjewadi Phase 3 land (about ₹8,500) is close to 60%. Some of that is genuinely the brand, the specification and the amenity programme; establish how much by comparing the all-inclusive figure against a like-for-like Lodha project elsewhere in Pune, such as Lodha Belmondo or Lodha Panache, rather than against the Phase 3 average alone.
• Hinjewadi Phase 3's daily-needs infrastructure is genuinely thin today — the corroborated nearby landmarks are IT campuses and the metro line, not retail or healthcare. A launch of this scale, once occupied, will itself be a large fraction of the phase's residential population, which means the township's own retail and school provision matters more here than at almost any other project we cover. Ask what is sanctioned within the 15-acre layout and on what timeline.
• A 4 BHK at 2,700 sq ft, described as including penthouses, appears on one source only and on no other. Treat it as unconfirmed and do not use it to benchmark price per square foot against the rest of the project.
