Lucknow Unveils Rs 33 Billion Urban Projects for Riverfront Living & Growth

Lucknow’s Bold New Era: Riverfront Homes and Urban Commercial Marvels

Lucknow is poised to transform its skyline with two visionary projects announced by the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA), together valued at nearly Rs 33 billion. These ambitious initiatives promise to redefine the city’s urban experience, blending luxury, inclusivity, and sustainability.

Riverfront Residences: A New Standard in Urban Living

Imagine waking up to the serene views of the Gomti River—this will soon be a reality for thousands of families as LDA launches its river view residential apartments in Maleshemau village, just behind the Police Headquarters on Shaheed Path. Spread across fifty-one acres, the project will offer nearly four thousand thoughtfully designed apartments, ranging from one to four BHK flats and penthouses.

To ensure accessibility for all, a significant number of units are reserved for economically weaker sections and lower-income groups. Residents will enjoy world-class amenities, including a swimming pool, gym, club, and yoga centre, with every tower offering panoramic river views. The development will be organized into three clusters, opening doors for multiple real estate firms to participate and foster innovation.

A Landmark Commercial Destination

Complementing the residential project is a landmark Rs 8 billion commercial development at the bustling 1090 crossing. Envisioned as a vibrant hub, this 5.5-acre site will host a luxury hotel, modern office spaces, and a dynamic retail zone. The project will be co-developed by LDA and private partners under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, with a 90-year lease to ensure long-term value and growth.

Timelines and Vision

The LDA plans to issue Requests for Proposals (RFPs) in June 2025, with both projects slated for completion within three years. These transformative developments are closely aligned with Lucknow’s vision for sustainable, inclusive, and eco-friendly urban growth, setting new benchmarks for the city’s future.
