Mahindra Lifespaces Launches Codename Sanctum at Mahindra Citadel, Pune
Mahindra Lifespace Developers has expanded its presence in Pune's northern corridor with the launch of a new phase at Mahindra Citadel in Pimpri-Chinchwad. The developer announced the launch of a new phase at Mahindra Citadel, an expansive residential development spread across approximately 9.66 acres in Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune with a Gross Development Value (GDV) of nearly ₹2,500 crore. The new phase carries the codename Sanctum.
Codename Sanctum brings three fresh towers into an already sizeable township. This phase comprises Towers E, F & G, introducing premium 2 and 3 BHK residences thoughtfully designed to elevate modern urban living, with a GDV expected to be ~800-850 crore. The inventory being released is deliberately limited, positioning these homes for buyers who want into an established address without waiting for a fresh greenfield launch.
Commenting on the launch, Vimalendra Singh, Chief Business Officer (Residential), Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd. said, "Mahindra Citadel has emerged as a strong contributor to our Pune portfolio, reflecting sustained demand for premium residences in well-developed urban corridors," adding that Sanctum brings "a limited inventory of 2 and 3 BHK homes that combine space efficiency, modern design, and ample nature within the development."
On the lifestyle front, the developer has packed in a wide amenity spread. The new phase reflects Mahindra Lifespaces' commitment to sustainability and thoughtful urban development, offering 30+ premium amenities curated to promote wellness, recreation, and community living, with key highlights including a half Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor community hall, and two badminton courts, alongside multiple lifestyle amenities designed to foster a balanced and vibrant lifestyle. Residences in this phase are also designed with an eye on the surroundings — expansive terrace-style decks offer views of the Military Farms, creating a sense of openness and tranquillity within a well-connected urban setting, while homes are designed to maximise natural light, ventilation, and spatial comfort.
Location remains one of Citadel's strongest cards. Positioned along the Old Mumbai–Pune Highway, the development enjoys strong connectivity through the adjoining metro station, with convenient access to key transit corridors across Pune. This puts Sanctum residents within easy reach of Pimpri-Chinchwad's industrial and IT employment belt, as well as the city's wider road and rail network.
Sanctum doesn't stand alone — it plugs into a much larger, already-established community. The project is planned in two distinct phases: Phase 1 (Beacon Towers A, B, C, D) and Phase 2 (Bastion Towers I, J, K), totaling seven residential towers. With the addition of Towers E, F and G, three new towers join the eleven-tower vision of Mahindra Citadel, sharing its mature landscape, central avenues and signature clubhouse experience. Buyers checking legal paperwork should note that the various phases of Mahindra Citadel have been registered with MahaRERA bearing separate registration numbers for Phase 1, Bastion J & K, Bastion I, and Tower L — the Sanctum-specific RERA number is expected to be published as registration is completed, so buyers should verify it directly on the MahaRERA portal before booking.
The timing of this launch coincides with fast-improving infrastructure in the micro-market. Pimpri-Chinchwad has been steadily shedding its purely industrial identity; the area has spent the last decade re-emerging as one of Pune's most competitively priced, genuinely metro-connected residential markets, offering flat buyers live metro access at a price point well below the city's premium corridors. Adding to this momentum, the Pimpri–Nigdi metro extension is expected to be fully operational by December 2026, seamlessly connecting Chinchwad, Akurdi, Nigdi, and Bhakti-Shakti Chowk to central Pune. For homebuyers, Codename Sanctum offers a rare combination: brand-new towers, established social infrastructure, and a locality riding an active infrastructure upgrade cycle.
