Mumbai never grows quietly. Every new residential pocket subtly depicts the way the city is responding to the scarcity of land, the ever-increasing density and evolving homebuyer expectations.
As open land shrinks the focus has shifted from volume-driven construction to more considered and thoughtful planning where light air, access to meaningful green space carry tangible value.
Also customers no longer purchase just houses but also holistic living environments that can accommodate daily balance and wellbeing in a dense fast-paced urban setting.
This change has steadily transformed the way residential developments are envisioned, planned and considered throughout the constantly changing neighborhoods of the city.

It's within this evolving urban context that The Hillfront enters the conversation. The development was designed following the initial approvals that the site had been granted with a clear purpose in mind which was not to go against the existing natural environment but to work harmoniously with it.
Developed by Atul Projects the company collaborated with planners, architects and on-ground local experts to shape an eco-sensitive hillside address that acknowledges Mumbai’s realities while offering a distinctly calmer way of living. From the outset the focus remained on long-term sustainable liveability and not on short-lived appeal or visual excess.
Making Room for Nature and Light
At its heart, The Hillfront is led by the idea that homes should facilitate everyday life thoughtfully and meaningfully. Planning is concerned with spacious housing units, generously proportioned green spaces and a carefully considered internal movement.
“We treat landscaped zones, wide internal roads and shared spaces as integral elements rather than addons; this allows residents to experience a deeper connection with nature while remaining anchored to contemporary city living,” says Aakash Patel, Director at Atul Projects.
The development also reflects a broader city-wide shift in buyer’s preferences across Mumbai. With the rise of compact and constrained housing there has been a growing demand for homes that feel open, breathable and expansive. By offering hillside views and lush open green surroundings The Hillfront aligns naturally with this change.
It positions itself not as an isolated complex but as a cohesive living ecosystem where nature architecture and everyday routines intersect effortlessly offering residents space to pause and reconnect within the city’s relentless motion.
Spread across a 9.6-acre freehold land parcel, The Hillfront is planned as a three phased residential development in 4.5 acres plot, it is currently in Phase 1 launch, allowing infrastructure, amenities and open spaces to evolve thoughtfully over time.
The community amenities are planned in the same considered way. The layout is integrated with over 60 amenities that are designed to support holistic fitness wellness and social interaction. A grand clubhouse of approx 22, 702 sq.ft. anchors the development, housing a gym, spa, wellness zones and well-appointed social spaces.
Rather than overwhelming residents with choices, the amenities are designed to quietly and intuitively support daily habits, shared experiences, and a lasting sense of community over time.

Architecture that works with the Environment
Design choices across the project remain rooted in clarity, restraint and purpose. Clean architectural forms lend a timeless understated quality while tower placement prioritizes optimal natural light and ventilation. Shared spaces encourage interaction without crowding, helping the community feel connected yet open, structured yet organic.
Large residential developments often face questions around trust infrastructure and long-term future readiness. Here the backing of Atul Projects plays a reassuring and steady role. With a five decades legacy with 75+ projects and more than 13,000+ families housed.
The organization continues to be supported by transparent RERA registrations. “This track record adds a strong layer of confidence for buyers evaluating enduring long-term value rather than immediate returns” notes Aakash Patel.

Connectivity is treated with a forward-looking perspective. The Hillfront also considers upcoming infrastructure such as the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road and Metro Line 4 as part of the larger evolving context, helping residents understand how the area will progressively integrate with the rest of the city.
Having clear and consistent communication around these developments keeps expectations grounded and realistic.
Land scarcity in Mulund further shapes the project’s identity. As one of the last large-scale gated developments in the area it offers rare scale and openness that smaller projects often struggle to provide making space itself a defining luxury rather than a constraint.
Shaping Urban Living with Care
Consistency of thought is what ultimately defines The Hillfront, a residential vision shaped by Atul Projects. From the earliest planning decisions to the architectural choices the emphasis has been on building a residential environment that feels rooted, balanced and enduring. It does not strive to mirror the rhythm and noise of the city but rather presents a measured and composed counterpoint. By doing so it reflects a maturing understanding of what urban living in Mumbai can be when growth is shaped with care and homes are designed to remain relevant, resilient and desirable as the city continues to evolve around them.
