FOREWORD
Welcome to the Godrej Business District.
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to discover the Godrej Business
District and Godrej Construction’s first commercial development project,
the 02 GBD IT Park. The ethos and beauty of the Pirojshahnagar Township
is what makes us exceptional and markedly distinct. Every picture is real;
we have not relied on stock photography to embellish our Business District
and Campus. We believe that you will be convinced that what Godrej
Construction offers is a rarity in the commercial real estate landscape of
Mumbai and most other major Indian cities.
Our endeavor in constructing the 02 GBD IT Park was to create more than
a building or complex. The goal was to create a space and environment
that motivates, inspires and helps companies thrive. In order to achieve
this we set for ourselves standards that go beyond accepted norms –
higher engineering standards; higher technological standards and higher
environmental standards.
It is our hope that the Godrej Business District and the 02 GBD IT Park
will be a destination for companies of all sizes - where employees will
be inspired; productivity levels and morale are elevated, and where new
standards of excellence are established.

TECHNOLOGICAL & ENGINEERING
EXPERTISE
Love of technology, engineering and of finding opportunities
to use them to make things better unites the Godrej
Construction group’s activities. Engineers always prefer to
make one component perform a number of functions, as
such many of 02 GBD’s architectural features play at least
a dual role in making the space ingeniously effective.
58 59
Our use of advanced technology
extends beyond what you do see
into what you do not.
Fly Ash Blocks with a high
recyclable content ensure high
thermal insulation, sound insulation
and fire resistance for the entire
building.
There are water efficient fixtures,
and 100% recycling and reuse of
STP water.
The facility also has a high-tech
sewage treatment plant that is
capable of treating the entire
quantum of waste water generated
in the building every day.
Sewage treatment plant

Common areas in the building are
fitted with the latest emergency
equipment such a building sprinkler
system and an emergency lighting
system.
All exit stairs are fully enclosed in
fire rated structures; all elevators
are equipped with a fireman’s recall
service.
The building’s ventilation system
automatically shuts down in case
of an emergency, and the lobby
has a hi-tech exhaust system that
automatically removes smoke in
the event of a fire.

ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
DEVELOPMENT
Godrej Construction has been a pioneer in setting new
conservation standards. It was clear to us from the
outset that we should demonstrate environmental as
well as technical leadership; not simply to comply with
existing regulations, but to exceed them.
The aim for 02 GBD’s construction was to create
inspiring office spaces that are both sustaining and
sustainable.
72 73
74 75
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUSDEVELOPMENT
Our sprawling green complex at Pirojshahnagar, Vikhroli stands as
testament to our commitment to the environment. One of Godrej’s many
long-standing corporate social initiatives involves creating awareness for
environmental conservation.
We have, with meticulousness and scientific management, preserved a
vast mangrove forest which is safely nestled in the heart of Pirojshanagar,
and in the ever expanding city of Mumbai.
76 77
While building 02 GBD, we have
ensured the judicious use of natural
resources and an efficient use of
technology. Double glazed glass
on the façade and exterior shading
insulates the building, and free
flowing natural light decreases
overall energy requirements.
Air conditioning loads and costs
are reduced by our ingenious
and beautifully landscaped roof
gardens.
We ensure water efficiency and
100% recycling and reuse of
STP. Waste management is also
environmentally sound and our
sustainable landscapes reduce
environmental erosion.
78 79
We went one step further to ensure a healthy indoor working environment.
Eco-friendly products have been used throughout the building - all
adhesives, sealants, paints and resins have a low VOC content, so
the level of toxins in the air is minimized. In addition, filtered outdoor
air provides fresh air to offices and specialized CO2 sensors in the air-
conditioning space maintain an optimum CO2 balance for fresh indoor air.

84 85
We can put you together with
leading global and Indian
companies so that you can benefit
from having corporate neighbors

limitless – office space,
production facilities, back-end

for the progress of your business
are readily accessible within
the Godrej Business District. All
this with the invaluable Godrej
guarantee of trustworthiness and
reliability.
86 87

THE GODREJ ETHOS MANIFEST
IN CAMPUS LIFE
At Godrej, we pride ourselves in being a protected and a protective
industrial garden township. Our 3,500-acre gated community
provides every one of our manufacturing plants, offices, tenants and
employees a secure, eco-friendly environment in which to flourish.
Walk about our campus and you will experience firsthand our vision
and belief in a brighter, safer and more secure future.
96 97
We believe that we are trustees of nature and one of our
main initiatives is the conservation and protection of the
Mangrove flora and fauna of Pirojshanagar.
This is home to 13 species of mangroves and mangrove
associates, 206 species of birds, 30 species of reptiles, 13
species of crabs, 7 species of prawns, 20 species of fish,
and even mammals such as the jackal and mongoose.
Our campus is a true testament to preservation and it serves
as the “second lung of Mumbai”, only after the Sanjay
Gandhi National Park.
98 99
The sprawling Godrej campus
is planned with great detail to
create a thriving living and working
environment. It represents the
quintessential and ideal balance
between nature, man and
progress.
Tree lined avenues; elegant
landscaping and meticulous
cleanliness make the campus an
oasis of beauty and calm.
It is common to work within
concrete jungles in Mumbai; our
distinction is something most could
not begin to envision.
100 101
LIFE IN THE CAMPUS
As much as the Godrej Campus is
a place where corporations prosper,
it is also incredibly well-balanced.
The Godrej campus brings to life the
concept of a social network - real
people interact with each other, to grow,
learn and develop lasting personal and
working relationships.
102 103
The Godrej campus is a ‘mini township’ where life thrives. There is the
Udyachal High School, Godrej Garden Enclave Residential Towers, the
Godrej Memorial Hospital, Crèche, Pragati Kendra Community centre
and much more.
104 105
RECREATION IN
THE CAMPUSThe Godrej campus, because of its location,
scale and reputation has attracted a
network of businesses around it. State of
the art malls, coffee shops, multiplexes,
and restaurants surround our campus. The
campus itself has marvelous recreational
amenities such as the Godrej Clubhouse,
which has a swimming pool and other great
facilities.
106 107
There are vast open playing fields and play grounds for corporate
picnics, corporate events, sports challenges, exhibitions and
business events. “Working hard and playing hard” is more than just
a saying for us; it is a way of life.
