Marathon and Mulund – a long love story

Marathon Group has a long and incredible relationship with Mulund. The origins of the company are inextricably linked with that of Mulund, and the company has been at the forefront of property development in Mulund and continues to have a role in shaping the skyline of this charming suburb.

The beginnings

The journey actually began way back in the pre-independence era. In 1922, Zaverbhai Shah, the patriarch of Marathon Group, worked with foreign architects to develop the masterplan for 550 acres of the suburb of Mulund – which at the time was completely undeveloped, virgin land. This sound town planning done during the pre-independence era has resulted in Mulund being one of the best planned and greenest suburbs in the city till date. Take a look at a satellite view of Mulund and you’ll see a neat criss-cross grid of lanes and plenty of open spaces.

Marathon Group was formally established in 1969 by R.Z. Shah. Many may know that before he started the business in 1969, he was actually an educationist. He has had a very deep association with the very first school in Mulund – SMPR. He started as a student, became a teacher, and then the principal, then also became a trustee and president of the trust.

“My father, Zaverbhai Shah, came to Mulund 100 years ago. We are now in the 5th generation after him, all of whom have grown up in Mulund. Mulund is our community, and Mumbai is our homeland. This city, this community means everything to us.” – R.Z. Shah, Chairman, Marathon Group.

From our humble roots in 1969 with a small office in Mulund, we have now grown into a 700+ person professional company and amongst the larger real estate developers in Mumbai.

A Marathon run

For 49 years, Marathon has been developing projects across Mumbai, but Mulund has always been the centre of our attention. Some of the projects in Mulund from back in the day are milestones etched in time. The first seven-storied tower in Mulund with an elevator was Marathon Poonam, built in 1972. In 1996, it was Marathon Antariksh, which became the first high-rise of Mulund standing at 190 feet. Marathon Monte Vista, one of Mulund’s landmark residential towers, is still an icon known for its exceptional curved facade.

Year after year, Marathon has added to the Mulund skyline, be it retail spaces, mid-size projects, premium residences or super-luxurious homes like Monte Carlo.

The promoters of the Group have a special relationship with Mulund as well, with four generations of the family residing in Mulund and being deeply involved in the operations of the company.

Our current leadership is comprised of technocrats – civil engineers steeped in the best practices of the industry and constantly looking for ways to innovate and improve our product quality. Marathon properties in Mulund till date command a premium over neighbouring properties – a testament to our construction quality.
