Lodha Magnus — The Boutique Proposition
Project: Lodha Magnus Location: Hinjewadi Phase 1, Pune Developer: Lodha Group Configurations: 2 BHK, 3 BHK, 4 BHK Price: ₹1.30 Cr – ₹2.55 Cr Per sqft: ₹12,000 RERA: P52100054113 Possession: June 2027 Key differentiator: Larger unit sizes than Panache; boutique amenities over campus scale
The Core Positioning
Magnus is deliberately different from Panache — Lodha’s other Hinjewadi project. Where Panache offers campus scale (15 acres, mass amenity, outdoor workspaces), Magnus offers boutique-format living: fewer units, larger apartments, curated amenities (yoga deck, mini-theatre, boutique pool). These are different products for different buyer personalities, not competing projects.
The Magnus buyer has typically already owned one Hinjewadi flat (a 2 BHK in Kolte-Patil or Godrej), has had 6–8 years in the zone, and is now upgrading — wanting a more refined, less crowded environment with significantly more sqft. That profile makes Magnus a second-home-in-Hinjewadi story as much as a first-time-buyer story.
Configuration and Pricing
| Config | Size | Price | Per Sqft | Monthly EMI (8.5%, 20yr, 75% LTV) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK | 1,121 sq ft | ₹1.30Cr–1.45Cr | ₹12,000 | ₹84,000–93,700 |
| 3 BHK | 1,388–1,451 sq ft | ₹1.70Cr–1.95Cr | ₹12,000 | ₹1.10L–1.26L |
| 4 BHK | 1,942 sq ft | ₹2.30Cr–2.55Cr | ₹12,000 | ₹1.49L–1.65L |
The size advantage: Magnus’s 2 BHK at 1,121 sqft is 27% larger than Panache’s 2 BHK at 883 sqft. For the same Lodha brand, same per-sqft cost (actually lower at ₹12,000 vs ₹13,350 at Panache), Magnus delivers more living space. The trade-off is losing Panache’s campus scale and outdoor workspaces.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK size | 1,121 sq ft | 864 sq ft | 870–920 sq ft | 780–850 sq ft |

The headline finding: Magnus at ₹12,000/sqft for 1,121 sqft delivers more sqft per rupee than any Lodha or Godrej Hinjewadi alternative. If you are optimising for living space within Lodha’s Hinjewadi portfolio, Magnus is the rational choice.
Amenity Assessment
Magnus is a boutique project — the amenity list is shorter than Panache but higher quality per amenity:
| Amenity | Rating | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Boutique swimming pool | ★★★★★ | Smaller pool, fewer residents sharing — better daily usability |
| Yoga & meditation deck | ★★★★☆ | Outdoor, elevated positioning — genuine WFH wellness add |
| Mini-theatre | ★★★★☆ | 20–30 seat private theatre. More useful than most residents expect |
| Gymnasium | ★★★★☆ | Smaller resident base means less peak congestion |
| Landscaped gardens | ★★★★☆ | Curated, not mass-scale — higher design quality |
| Sports area | ★★★☆☆ | Standard offering; not Magnus’s differentiator |
| Indoor games room | ★★★☆☆ | Present; standard |
What Magnus lacks vs Panache: Outdoor workspaces, sky sports court, pet park, library, 20,000 sqft clubhouse. Magnus is not the right choice if campus-scale amenities are your priority.
What Magnus wins on: Per-unit amenity sharing ratio. With a smaller total unit count, every amenity sees lower demand. The pool at 8am is yours.
Location: Phase 1 Premium
Magnus is positioned in Hinjewadi Phase 1 — the most established phase with the best social infrastructure:
- Walking distance to TCS, Infosys, Wipro campuses
- Delhi Public School Hinjewadi: 2 km
- Medipoint Hospital: 1.5 km
- Xion Mall: within Hinjewadi Phase 1
- Mumbai-Pune Expressway: 6–8 km via Baner Road
Phase 1 commands a 10–15% premium over Phase 2 and Phase 3 for this reason. Magnus being in Phase 1 is a structural advantage that will persist at resale.
Possession: June 2027 — 8 Months Away
As of October 2026, Magnus is 8 months from RERA possession. At this stage:
- Construction should be at interior finishing stage
- OC application timeline: 3–4 months ahead
- Expect possession letters: Q2 2027 (April–June)
Pre-possession action items:
- Schedule a site visit — verify actual construction stage, not just renders
- Review society formation timeline with developer
- Pre-arrange home loan final disbursement — banks require OC for final tranche
- Inspect specific tower allocation unit for defects (snag list) before possession
Investment Analysis: Magnus as Rental Asset
Magnus’s large unit sizes serve the rental market well. Hinjewadi’s IT tenant demographic increasingly demands larger apartments as hybrid work normalises — the home office requirement has moved from “nice to have” to “non-negotiable” for senior IT professionals.
| Config | Expected Rent (2027) | Value at Possession | Gross Yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK (1,121 sqft) | ₹35,000–45,000/month | ₹1.45–1.60Cr | 2.9–3.5% |
| 3 BHK (1,388 sqft) | ₹48,000–62,000/month | ₹1.95–2.15Cr | 2.9–3.4% |
| 4 BHK (1,942 sqft) | ₹68,000–85,000/month | ₹2.55–2.80Cr | 3.0–3.5% |
Yield is below Panache for 2 BHK (Panache’s smaller unit at lower price delivers better yield math). Magnus is an appreciation play — the large unit format commands a resale premium that compounds over time, but yield-optimisers should prefer Panache’s 2 BHK.
