Mumbai, March 2026: Godrej Properties Ltd. (GPL), one of India’s leading real estate developers, today announced the launch of ‘Neighbours With Nature’, a long-term platform focused on hyperlocal ecological restoration and neighbourhood wellbeing. The initiative brings together the company’s ongoing environmental efforts under a unified identity, designed to create visible, communitylevel ecological impact in the neighbourhoods surrounding its developments.
The launch builds on GPL’s sustained commitment to environmental responsibility, including the diversion of over 96,000 tonnes of waste from landfills in the last two years, facilitation of over 17 million litres of water recharge, and the planting of more than 4 lakh trees over the last five years. The new platform aims to scale such efforts across emerging micromarkets through nature restoration, water system improvement, biodiversity enhancement, and community engagement.
As the first chapter of this platform, GPL has collaborated with I Am Gurgaon to support the ongoing revival of the Chakkarpur–Wazirabad Bundh, a 5.2km ecological corridor in the heart of the city. Once a neglected drain, the Bundh has been rejuvenated into a biodiverse, walkable, urban ecological corridor through the plantation of native trees and shrubs, the reuse of construction and demolition waste, the creation of pedestrian and cycling paths, solar-powered lighting, and interventions that strengthen rainwater recharge and groundwater systems.
UN Environment Goodwill Ambassador Dia Mirza joined the initiative to spotlight the importance of restoring ecological assets within cities.
Dia Mirza said: “Urbanisation has distanced many of us from the natural systems we depend on. Neighbours with Nature by Godrej Properties is a powerful reminder that nature can still exist meaningfully within our cities – if we choose to protect and nurture it. A city becomes far more livable when it is nature- positive. My visit to Godrej Miraya reinforced this – that true luxury today is not about excess, but about finding a thoughtful balance with the environment.
It is encouraging to see developers like Godrej Properties align with global sustainability standards such as IGBC Platinum certification, ensuring that spaces are designed and built with long-term environmental responsibility in mind. It gives me hope that the future of our cities is in safe hands. I’m glad to be part of an initiative that is quietly, but meaningfully, driving this shift.”
