Godrej: The Trees
Mumbai, India
Appropriately christened “THE TREES” due
to the remarkable landscape preserved and
integrated into the final design, this project
is envisioned as the first phase of a brown
field regeneration that will pave the way for
a mixed-use, vibrant and livable new district
that proactively engages the city of Mumbai.
The site, a former 26-acre factory complex in
Vikhroli, near the eastern shoreline of Mumbai,
is located adjacent to the largest preserve of
mangrove trees in the region. This project
strives to provide an open and accessible
urban setting that regenerates key parts of the
site’s heritage to establish a highly integrated
district of residential, commercial, retail, hotel,
and cultural uses set in a diverse and verdant
landscape. THE TREES master plan embodies
the client’s culture, products, and way of
thinking which are synonymous with quality
and a collective consciousness for sustainability.
