Godwitt Construction Aims for One Crore Sq Ft Industrial Real Estate Footprint by 2029
Godwitt Construction, a focused industrial real estate developer, has announced a five-year growth plan to scale its built and leased portfolio from 50 lakh sq ft to 1 crore sq ft by 2029. The company, which recently delivered India’s first ASRS cold store, plans to stay rooted in industrial growth zones while leading with technology, human-centric design, and specialized execution.
What began a decade ago with an idea and a two-wheeler has today grown into one of India’s leading industrial real estate firms. Godwitt Construction, under the leadership of its founder and director Dhawal B.S. Mehta, has built and leased over 50 lakh sq ft of industrial real estate and is now preparing to double that footprint by 2029.
In an exclusive interaction with ETRealty, Mehta outlined the company’s growth journey, strategy, and upcoming expansions. “We were among the first to focus purely on industrial leasing when the market was largely driven by warehousing demand from e-commerce and logistics players,” Mehta said. “Our DNA has always been about staying focused on core industrial users.”
Godwitt Construction’s strategy hinges on three pillars—location proximity to production hubs, balancing customization with standardization, and enhancing the human element of industrial infrastructure. “We aren’t just creating sheds. We design temperature-controlled, high-aesthetic, worker-centric spaces,” Mehta added.
The firm recently delivered India’s first ASRS (Automatic Storage and Retrieval System) cold storage facility in North Gujarat, a region increasingly attracting food processing giants. This project marks the launch of Rezo by Godwitt, a new vertical dedicated to cold storage developments. Another vertical, EcoE by Godwitt, will focus on blue-collar housing across industrial zones. These, along with the company’s core brand SoCo by Godwitt, reflect its diversification while staying rooted in industrial real estate.
By 2029, Godwitt aims to scale up to 1 crore sq ft of developed space, operate 25,000 beds under EcoE, and establish itself as a leading developer of temperature-controlled infrastructure. “We’re chasing specialization, not diversification for its own sake. We want to stay deeply embedded in the ecosystems we serve,” Mehta noted.
Godwitt’s tech-forward approach also sets it apart. From large-scale precast construction techniques to automation in storage systems, the company is focused on redefining industrial asset development in India.
