Richmond County: A Complete Neighbourhood

By lodha

A neighbourhood becomes exceptional when it offers not just a place to live, but also a setting where daily life already feels rooted, connected and complete. At Richmond County, the first impression is shaped by the landscape itself. Tree-lined avenues, broad green spaces and well-established surroundings create a setting that feels thoughtfully planned. More than simply a residential address, it is a neighbourhood that conveys a sense of belonging from the moment one arrives.

Just twenty minutes from Thane’s Lakeshore Mall and well connected via the Samruddhi Mahamarg, Richmond County presents a rare living experience in Thane. Its open vistas and central lake create a setting where landscape, architecture and community feel naturally connected.

A Community Planned Before It Was Built

Years ago, Lodha made a deliberate decision to reimagine the conventional timeline of neighbourhood development. Rather than introducing high-rise residences first and allowing community infrastructure to follow, Richmond County was conceived as an expansive neighbourhood first, designed to foster a thriving community from the outset. This intentional sequencing remains one of its defining qualities, enabling the neighbourhood to mature organically before the introduction of its next residential chapter.

That original vision was brought to life through Lodha Villa Royale and Lodha Villa Royale Gold - a collection of independent villas set within generous, private surroundings, offering residents an opportunity to own their own land. Inspired by the timeless elegance of European Georgian architecture, these villas are defined by balanced proportions, refined façades and graceful detailing. Its private gardens and generous sense of space further contribute to the low-density character that continues to define the neighbourhood today.

Spaces That Encourage Connection

At the heart of this setting is Club Royale, a private clubhouse created exclusively for villa residents. Designed as a place for recreation and connection, it brings together thoughtful amenities and hospitality-led experiences designed to enrich everyday living. Whether through a morning swim, a workout at the gym, a restorative spa visit or an evening spent in the indoor activity areas, Club Royale mirrors the community-oriented spirit at the centre of Richmond County.

Lodha Belmont: The Natural Next Chapter

The next chapter of Richmond County unfolds with Lodha Belmont, the neighbourhood’s first high-rise residential address. Designed for the discerning, it exclusively offers three-bedroom and larger residences, ideal for families seeking the space, privilege and privacy of a low-density community. This is complemented by over 70% open spaces, allowing the landscape to become an integral part of the everyday. Set within an already established neighbourhood, these elements reflect Richmond County’s original vision of creating homes within a thoughtfully planned setting, rather than simply building residences. Lodha Belmont’s contemporary Art Deco architecture only marks the next evolution of this community.

Long associated with the character of South Mumbai’s most distinguished addresses, Art Deco brings a sense of elegance to Lodha Belmont’s design and to the Thane skyline. Conceived by architect Hafeez Contractor, the façade is defined by clean vertical lines, refined detailing and a contemporary silhouette that complements Richmond County’s established landscape. This architectural expression is complemented by the landscape vision of P Landscape, whose internationally recognised work has shaped luxury hospitality and residential environments across Asia such as Rosewood Phuket and Banyan Tree, Koh Samui. Lodha Belmont has been designed to create a sense of openness and connection, with open vistas, people-centric planning and a design approach that allows the landscape to remain central to the living experience.

With just four residences on each floor, privacy is woven naturally into everyday living at Lodha Belmont. Spacious living areas extend onto generous private decks overlooking the creek and the neighbourhood’s mature greenery, creating a constant connection to the landscape beyond. Inside, the grand club interiors - crafted by Studio HBA - evoke the warm, hospitality-inspired elegance of a private boutique hotel, reserved exclusively for Lodha Belmont’s residents.

A Neighbourhood Designed to Endure

Richmond County represents a rare kind of neighbourhood: one that has been given the time and care to evolve into a complete, lived-in setting. Its tree-lined avenues, shared play areas, open spaces and community amenities together create an environment where everyday life feels both connected and elevated. Within this established setting, Lodha Belmont rises as a contemporary new expression, albeit one that remains deeply rooted in the values that shaped Richmond County from the very beginning.

Together, Richmond County and Lodha Belmont offer a distinctive proposition in Thane, where developed landscapes, aesthetic design and a strong sense of community come together to create a neighbourhood that feels complete in every way.
