UP Housing Board to Develop 40-Acre Land in Vasundhara, Ghaziabad

The UP Housing Board has decided it’s time to make Vasundhara more than just another residential pocket of Ghaziabad. The plan is bold, and let’s be honest, it has all the elements of a real estate shake-up. In sectors 7 and 8, a total of 80 acres have been marked out, but the first hammer will strike on 40 acres. Phase 1 is where the groundwork begins, and it is not just another housing colony. Officials want to carve out an integrated township with residences, commercial blocks, and, importantly, healthcare, as per various media reports.

A Medical Anchor in the Middle of It All

Ten acres are being pulled aside for a satellite centre of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS). That’s no small addition. Everyone in Delhi-NCR knows how critical AIIMS is, and a satellite centre here could tilt the health infrastructure of Ghaziabad in a very different direction. Right now, residents often rush to Delhi for serious treatment. With AIIMS on their doorstep, that dependence could change. It’s also a signal that this isn’t just about selling flats, it’s about building a self-contained hub.

Group Housing

Two huge group housing plots are the real bait for developers. One spans 20 acres, the other 10. Together, they’ll be put on the auction block at a steep rate of Rs 1.25 lakh per square metre. That’s not pocket change; it’s a clear statement that the Board wants big, serious players, not fly-by-night builders. If the math holds, the Board expects a population base of around 25,000 to be accommodated here.

Now, 25,000 is not just a statistic. That means schools will be filled, markets will have buyers, and every chai stall in the area will have customers lining up. Ghaziabad has seen pockets rise quickly, and this project looks designed to accelerate that same pattern in Vasundhara.

Transit-Oriented Development: Buzzword with Teeth

On paper, these sectors fall under the “transit-oriented development” (TOD) zones in Ghaziabad’s Masterplan 2031. Usually, TOD is a fancy phrase tossed into planning documents, but here, it actually counts. Why? Because the Sahibabad RRTS station isn’t far. The Rapid Rail link is the backbone of NCR’s new commuting promise, and Vasundhara sitting so close means people can realistically live here and still work in Delhi without suffering the usual travel agony.

Strategic Location: Hindon Elevated Road and Beyond

The geography works in its favour. The land sits alongside the Hindon elevated road, a stretch that’s already a lifeline for commuters. What’s more, that road is expected to tie neatly into the Delhi-Meerut Expressway. For anyone counting minutes on Google Maps, this is no minor tweak; it’s the difference between choosing Vasundhara over Noida or Raj Nagar Extension.

And then there’s the proposed 240-metre bridge over the Hindon Canal. That bridge isn’t just concrete, it’s access. It would connect Siddharth Vihar residents straight to the elevated road and, by extension, to Delhi. Right now, traffic bottlenecks in Ghaziabad are the stuff of everyday complaints. This bridge is the sort of small intervention that changes daily life.

The project carries weight not just for buyers or builders but for the entire local economy. Shops, schools, hospitals, transport services, everything gets pulled upward in demand once people start moving in. And once Phase 1 finds its footing, Phase 2 will likely draw even more ambitious plans.
