House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL) is developing a 150-acre villa community in Mashobra, near Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. The project is backed by a Rs 1,500 crore joint venture with HDFC Capital Advisors and is positioned as a longevity-focused second-home community, with hospitality management from the Leela Group.
Location & Connectivity
The project sits on Hindustan Tibet Road in Mashobra, on land described as apple orchards and deodar forest at Himalayan elevation. Reported distances put Shimla Railway Station at roughly 15 km away, with all-weather road access. Some marketing sources cite Jolly Grant Airport (Dehradun) as the nearest airport at approximately 45 km, but this figure is inconsistent with Jolly Grant’s actual distance from Shimla, which is well over 100 km by road; Shimla’s own airport at Jubbarhatti is considerably closer to Mashobra. Buyers should verify actual airport access and travel times independently rather than relying on this figure.
Project Specifications
The community is planned across 150 acres, with approximately 250 villas at an average plot allocation of around 0.6 acres per unit. Units are offered in 3 BHK and 4 BHK configurations. Possession is expected in 2028.
Pricing
Villas are priced from approximately Rs 8 crore onwards. No detailed unit-wise price list broken down by configuration or plot position was found; buyers should request the current official cost sheet before making any commitment.
Amenities
The estate includes a resident clubhouse and hospitality services managed to Leela Group standards, covering concierge, housekeeping, food and beverage, recreational programming and maintenance. The project’s distinguishing feature is an on-campus longevity clinic offering biological age assessment, personalised longevity protocols covering nutrition, sleep, exercise and supplementation, preventive health monitoring, regenerative treatments and mind-body integration programming. This is marketed as a resident service built into the estate rather than a standalone day-visit facility.
RERA & Compliance
The project is described by the developer as HP RERA compliant, but no specific Himachal Pradesh RERA registration number was found in available sources at the time of writing. Buyers should ask for the registration number directly and verify it against the Himachal Pradesh RERA portal before booking.
A Few Honest Notes
This is an unusually early-stage claim to verify independently: the “longevity clinic” concept is new to the Indian residential market, and how it will actually operate day-to-day (staffing, medical oversight, ongoing membership costs beyond the purchase price) was not detailed in available sources. The airport-distance figure circulating in marketing material does not hold up against actual geography, which is a reason to treat other unverified specifics from the same marketing material with some caution as well. No independent RERA registration number could be confirmed at the time of writing, despite the project being close to launch.
Verdict
HoABL is a real, well-funded developer (backed by HDFC Capital Advisors) with a track record of large land-parcel developments elsewhere in India, and this project’s scale and hospitality tie-up with Leela Group suggest genuine intent rather than a paper announcement. That said, at over Rs 8 crore a villa this is a narrow luxury second-home play, not a project relevant to the typical homebuyer. Prospective buyers should confirm the HP RERA registration number, get a written cost sheet, and independently verify both the longevity-clinic operating model and actual travel distances before treating any marketing claim as fact.
