The Great New Bombay Circus Comes to Wakad Pune!

2012-05-17T10:12:00.000+05:30

"Forget about the young IT Professionals in Hinjewadi! Now, Wakad is not for them!! Soon, Wakad is going to become Kharadi of West Pune - where property prices will start from 75 Lakhs!

Why? Because, History repeats itself. Like nineties, housing is no more for the middle class masses. Henceforth, only a chosen few can own a home in PMC & PCMC.

Be ready - to experience the reincarnation of Wall Street Economy - where middle class only consumes & struggles to pay the bills - but don't own a thing!"

Launch Ad of Monarch Renaissance - 2 BHK 3 BHK 4 BHK Flats - 22 Story 11 Towers - behind Sayaji Hotel - off Mumbai Bangalore Highway - Wakad - Pune 411057

Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune opens booking of
4 BHK Flat 3201 Saleable for Approx Rs. 1.64 Crore Onward
3 BHK Flat 1850 Saleable for Approx Rs.97 Lakhs Onward
2 BHK Flats 1266 Saleable for Approx Rs. 67 Lakhs Onward
on 15th May 2012 at the pre-launch property rate of Rs. 4,851 per sq.ft.
(Stamp Duty + Registration + Service Tax + VAT Extra)
in 22 Story Towers!

Today's Property Rate at Monarch Renaissance Wakad Rs. 5,100 per sq.ft.!

Yesterday, on 15th May 2012, Monarch Renaissance Wakad (www.monarchrenaissance.com) Pune 411057 released 2 full page ads in the local news papers. The property ads announced opening of booking of 4 BHK, 3 BHK & 2 BHK Flats in 22 Story 11 Towers of Monarch Renaissance Wakad at the pre-launch property rates - Rs. 4,851 per sq.ft.

But, today, i found out that Monarch Renaissance, behind Sayaji Hotel on Mumbai Bangalore Highway at Wakad, has increased the property rates. Now, it's Rs. 5,100 per sq.ft.!

This may be Monarch Universal & Aswani Developers way of celebrating the day on which Indian Rupee hit a record low (54.36) against the dollar and Indian Stock Market dipped below 16,000 mark!

However, the salesman at Monarch Renaissance Wakad promised to give me the pre-launch property rate - if i book by the weekend!

"Wow! The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!," I told myself.

Entrance Arch and Well Known Wakad - Visit Monarch Renaissance, 4 BHK 3 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Wakad, Pune 411057

Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune: Approximately 1,000 Flats in 22 Story 11 Towers in 26 Acres!

The builder of Monarch Renaissance Wakad looked different. Otherwise, you know, Wakad is the training ground of small & inexperienced builders. So, i visited the website of Monarch Universal (www.monarchuniversal.com) and called their corporate office at CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai 400614.

Out of the 8 residential projects listed on their website, i was told that, 3 projects are complete -
1) Monarch Fortune Kharghar - 14 Story Single Stand Alone Building of 2 BHK Flats
2) Monarch Orchid Kharghar - 19 Story Single Stand Alone Building of 2 BHK Flats
3) Monarch Ambience Kharghar - 17 Story Single Stand Alone Building of 2 BHK Flats.

Monarch Universal's 4 under construction or just launched projects are -
1) Monarch Imperial Kalamboli - 14 Story 5 Buildings
2) Monarch Greenspaces Panvel - 38 Story 4 Buildings
3) Monarch Brookefields Kalamboli - 14 Story 6 Buildings
4) Monarch Luxuria Kharghar - 21 Story Single Stand Alone Building of 2 BHK Flats

Compared to these completed & on going projects in Navi Mumbai, where the average property rate is Rs. 5,000 per sq.ft., I found 26 Acre Monarch Renaissance of 1,000 Flats in 22 Story 11 Towers at Wakad too big!

"Wow! The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!," I told myself and congratulated Monarch Universal for choosing the right location of Wakad Pune - the training ground of small & inexperienced builders.

Kareena Kapoor Vs. M/s Sonal, Prachi, Ritu & Co:

Liviano Kharadi Pune 411 014 Sakal (2011-09-30)

What i liked most about Monarch Renaissance Wakad is "Kareena Kapoor"!

I am not a fan of Kareena. But i enjoyed looking at Kareena on full page ads of Monarch Renaissance Wakad. You know what? Because of Kareena, i looked at the digital image of 22 Story Tower in Monarch Renaissance Wakad for more than 2 minutes.

You know what I found out? The elevation of Monarch Renaissance Wakad looks similar to Darode-Jog Properties' Liviano Kharadi (www.liviano.in)!

Isn't it better to have Kareena than some girl looking like Sonal / Prachi or Ritu? Because of that girl in the ad - my first impression about Liviano Kharadi was "Sadak Chhap" - not trendy but 'down market' real estate project!

When I saw Kareena - I believed that Monarch Renaissance is a luxury property. Whereas, Urvashi Sharma failed to convince me that there was great fun inside the 2nd phase of Celestial City Ravet.

When i searched a little, i found out that M/s Gopal & Hasmukh Thakur, two brothers & owners of Monarch Universal, have a bandwagon of Bollywood friends! Their corporate office at CBD Belapur Navi Mumbai is designed by Hrithik Roshan's wife - Suzanne! Not only that! Soha Ali & Kunal Khemu, Udita Goswami, Rajeev Khandelwal, Kamal Khan were present at the opening of this office!

"Wow! The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!," I told myself and started looking forward to see all of theme at Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune 411057.

Confusion at Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune 411057:

4 BHK Flat in Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune

3 BHK Flat in Monarch Renaissance Wakad Pune

I liked the floor plans of 4 BHK, 3 BHK Flats in Monarch Renaissance Wakad. Yes, even a 2 BHK Flat is also not bad. Room sizes are good. The positions of the toilets are not that good but sizes are comfortable. In fact, i fell in love with the master bedroom of a 4 BHK Flat.

Of course, I didn't like the fact that the carpet areas were not given on the website & in the brochure of Monarch Renaissance Wakad. But, i didn't get upset. Because, I know that Mumbai & Navi Mumbai Builders are not as transparent & as ethical as Pune builders.

Now, since I liked the floor plans of the flats in Monarch Renaissance Wakad, i wanted to know 3 things:

1) Has Monarch Renaissance Wakad received all necessary sanctions & approvals?

2) Has Monarch Universal, the capacity to actually construct Monarch Renaissance Wakad?

3) How is Monarch Universal going to develop the infrastructural services in Monarch Renaissance Wakad - drinking water, sewage treatment, waste disposal system, rainwater harvesting, water recycling, safety & security systems & fire fighting systems in the project?

I was not interested in the sample flat. Because, I know that the workers who construct the sample flat are not going to construct my property. Or neither am I going to get the kind of finish i see in the sample flat. So, I didn't mind when I found out that there is no sample flat at the site of Monarch Renaissance Wakad.

Back side of Sayaji Hotel & the actual site of the towers - Visit Monarch Renaissance, 4 BHK 3 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Wakad, Pune 411057

However, the disturbing fact was that there wasn't any kind of site development work - not even a proper site office at Monarch Renaissance Wakad - except the small room where a few salespersons were giving information.

I saw one air-conditioned pandal in which bhoomi pujan ceremony was going on. Next to it, i could see the huge stage & seating arrangement for thousands of people. Someone told me that Sonu Nigam is going perform in the evening for the invitees.

"Did you take the possession of this plot only a couple of days ago?," I asked the salesperson.

"No! I am here for almost a month!!," the salesperson said.

"Oh! Really? Now, tell me - what's up today? A launch of Monarch Renaissance Wakad or only Bhoomi Pujan of a plot? Or a get-together of the friends & business associates of the builders?," I asked.

"All in one! Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra is coming at 5 pm to announce the launch!," the salesperson said.

"Wow! The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!," I told myself and asked him to explain the project.

Amenities at Monarch Renaissance Wakad: Flyover on Mumbai Bangalore Highway?:

Bhumkar Chowk Wakad - Aditya Birla Hinjewadi Road and Mumbai Bangalore Highway Junction

The salesperson at Monarch Renaissance Wakad, dodged my questions about sanctions & approvals, construction team & infrastructural services and started talking about Shilpa Shetty's Spa - IOSSI and Mahesh Bhupati's Tennis Academy. He didn't stop at that. He took out the layout of Monarch Renaissance Wakad full of numbers in red. He started reading a long list of amenities in Monarch Renaissance Wakad - more than 50, i think.

At this point, i lost my patience. I told him to stop and asked him, "At Mahalunge Kumar Builders is building a bridge over the river to Hinjewadi. Are you at least planning to build a flyover on Mumbai Bangalore Highway? Wakad Flyover and Bhumkar Chowk Underpass are not enough!"

"We have a D P Road going through our plot. But i am not aware about the bridge. I will confirm and let you know," the salesperson said.

"You haven't done your homework well! You can launch a project in Pune and collect booking amount without showing a plot of land - but without imagination it's impossible to sell the property in Pune!," i told him.

"Yes! I can see that!! But how did you find Monarch Renaissance?," the salesperson asked.

"It's too early to talk about the project but, for sure, your architect and advertising agency are good!," i told him and said to myself, "Wow! The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!"

I visited Pristine Pro-Life Wakad, the other project located next to Sayaji Hotel on the service road of Mumbai Bangalore Highway.

"Welcome to Wakad's finest residences for the Hinjewadi IT Professionals!," Ms. Kirti Bhosale, my dear friend & marketing manager of Pristine Pro-Life Wakad (88880 71444 / 88880 724444) said.

When i saw the printed price list with carpet areas, I felt very proud of Pune Builders. At this point of time bookings of G & H Buildings in Pristine Pro-Life Wakad are open. All inclusive property price of a 2 BHK Flat - 747 Carpet + 131 Terrace - on 1st to 3rd floors in Pristine Pro-Life Wakad is Rs. 56,81,244. Whereas a 3 BHK Flat - 1,000 Carpet + 132 Terrace - on 1st to 3rd floors - is for Rs. 76,07,310. Rs. 25 per sq.ft. per floor is applicable from the 4th floor.

Mr. Ganesh Shivadawkar (8888 155 999), Marketing Manager of Goldfinger Avenir Wakad, told me that in the 4 months from the launch, almost 80 % flats in the B Building are booked. Almost all agreements are done. The construction is in full swing - plinth of the B Building is ready. The second building, A Building of Goldfinger Avenir will be launched soon.

"Our property rates - Rs. 3,800 per sq.ft. for a 2 BHK Flat & Rs. 3,825 to 3,900 per sq.ft. for a 3 BHK Flat are the most reasonable property prices in Wakad. Not only that, our floor rise - only Rs. 25 per sq.ft. per floor - starts from the 6th floor. Have you ever heard Rs. 25 per sq.ft. premium for the Garden Facing flats? We have it in Avenir Wakad!," Ganesh said proudly.

All inclusive approximate property prices at Goldfinger Avenir Wakad are:
A 2 BHK Flat - Rs. 47.63 to 64.73 Lakhs + Service Tax + VAT + Maintenance + Society Formation Charges
A 3 BHK Flat - Rs. 60 to 82 Lakhs + Service Tax + VAT + Maintenance + Society Formation Charges

Pointing at Wakad Flyover, Ganesh said,"We have a D P Road which will connect Goldfinger Avenir to Wakad Flyover!"

"Why are you all so much concerned about connectivity to Hinjewadi?," I asked.

"Because, Hinjewadi IT Professionals prefer Wakad!," Ganesh said.

"Forget about the young IT Professionals in Hinjewadi! Now, Wakad is not for them!! You know? The Great New Bombay Circus has come to Wakad!! Soon, Wakad is going to become Kharadi of West Pune - where property prices will start from 75 Lakhs! Why? Because, History repeats itself. Like nineties, housing is no more for the middle class masses. Henceforth, only a chosen few can own a home in PMC & PCMC. Be ready - to experience the reincarnation of Wall Street Economy - where middle class only consumes & struggles to pay the bills - but don't own a thing!" I said.

Visiting Sakal Property Showcase 2012

2012-05-09T22:54:00.000+05:30

Amrut Runwal Group's "Runwal Universe" on University Road, Shivaji-Nagar, Pune - 4

"Ravi, there is a bomb in your pocket which will explode at any point of time & you will die!," looking at my reports Doctor said.

"Surprising! I always thought that I am going to live forever!!," i said and requested my Doctor to study my reports once again.

"Be serious. Your heart may stop at any point of time. Your heart needs urgent repairs," my Doctor said and explained the further treatment.

After some convincing & negotiations, i managed to come out of his office on University Road. As planned, I crossed the road and went to the bus stop.

While I was waiting for the bus, Amrut Runwal Group's stalled commercial project Runwal Universe, on the opposite side of University Road, caught my eye. I felt sorry for Mr. Pradeep Runwal. Once upon a time, when he was dreaming of being a big builder, Mr. Runwal was my client. So, i avoided looking at Runwal Universe and started looking straight.

Oh God! Mantri Properties' office was across the road! One more member of failed real estate company in Pune - Mantri Housing. So, I started looking towards University end of the road.

Oh God! E Square!! Monument of one more builder, Mr. Kiran Ganatra - a visionary & a creative genius - who failed and almost vanished from Pune real estate market!

Then a long list of builders came to my mind who had gone down forever. All were small builders - father and sons / brothers / young first generation entrepreneur set-ups - like most of the real estate companies in Pune are - trying to become big players.

To become big, mostly these enterprising builders took some shortcut which turned into a death trap. Or while taking a big leap forward, some of these young builders got carried away and miserably fell on their faces. Some builders were betrayed by their partners. Some builders lost their lives in unfortunate road accidents. That's why i find it very funny when naive real estate investors believe in full page newspaper ads and glossy brochures and bet their only savings on these over-leveraged paper tigers who can vanish at any point of time.

Accepting the high mortality rate of the builders in risky real estate business, i started looking at Runwal Universe once again. My heart filled with love for Mr. Pradeep Runwal. Thinking big is not a crime, i told myself. Failure is not exactly an offence, i told myself. But stalled project & incomplete structure is almost a punishment for my ex-client. Now, at this point of time, thank god, i can do something about it, i thought.

To visit completed and operational Runwal Universe on University Road is my last wish, i told myself.

Now, there was no point in wasting time for the bus. I stopped a rickshaw. Told rickshawala to take me to Sakal Property Showcase 2012 at New Agriculture Ground at Range-Hills, near Sinchan-Nagar. As fast as he could.

"I am in a hurry. I may die at any point of time," i told the rickshawala.

"Me too!," the rickshawala said.

Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) Wagholi Pune Opens Spot Scheme - from 7th May to 5th July 2012

2012-05-07T18:52:00.000+05:30

One More Pre-launch Offer at Wagholi Pune!
Now, from "No Profit No Loss Organisation" -
Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) (www.awhosena.in)!!

Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) Wagholi Pune Project

Click to Visit Original Ad Published in The Times of India Pune

Kolte-Patil Developers, Are you selling 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Ivy Estate Wagholi at a loss?

Looking at the property prices of Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) (www.awhosena.in), which claims to be "No Profit No Loss Organisation", I started worrying about profit oriented builders in Wagholi, on Nagar Road, near Pune.

As per the Ad published in The Times of India, approximate cost - without any Escalation Costs, Parking, Stamp Duty, Registration, VAT & Service Tax - of A 2 BHK Flat of 900 sq.ft. in Wagholi Project of Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) (www.awhosena.in) costs Rs. 32.05 Lakhs. And a 2 BHK Flat of 1170 sq.ft. goes for Rs. 41.65 Lakhs.

Whereas, Ivy Estate, one of the largest township at Wagholi Pune, developed by one of the best and profit oriented builders in Pune, M/s Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd. (www.koltepatil.com), sells a 2 BHK Flat of 900 sq.ft. for the all inclusive property price of Rs. 38 Lakhs and a 2 BHK Flat of 1160 sq.ft. for Rs. 45 Lakhs. Same about a 3 BHK Flat! Rs. 51 Lakhs for 1270 sq.ft. 3 BHK & Rs. 58 Lakhs for 1585 sq.ft. 3 BHK Flat.

If i add the size of the project, construction stage, payment terms and possession, property prices of profit oriented Ivy Estate Wagholi look more attractive than "No Profit No Loss" Wagholi Project of Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) (www.awhosena.in)

So, i feel like asking Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd., my dear profit oriented Pune builder, are you selling your properties at a loss? Are you "No Profit Only Loss" Listed Real Estate Company?

1) Consumer body hints at ‘Adarsh-like scam’ in Army housing allotment in Panchkula

Haryana Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has taken a stern view of the irregularities in allotments by Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) at its residential project at Sector 20 in Panchkula, and has said that “if enquired into deeply, this may again turn out to be another scam like Adarsh Society at Bombay”. (Click to Read More)

2) Two defense welfare societies under cloud

Even as the CBI probes the role of retired generals and politicians in the Adarsh housing society scam, two more complexes set up originally for the welfare of defence personnel and war widows in Navi Mumbai have now courted controversy.

The two societies—Raghunath Vihar Army Welfare Society (RVAWS), which has 534 flats in 13 multi-storey buildings in Kharghar's Sector 14; and the Army Welfare Society (AWS) Dara Enclave, which has 518 flats in 11 buildings and 38 row houses in Nerul's Sector 9—are housed on Cidco plots allotted at concessional rates. Their occupation certificates were granted in 2002 and 1995, respectively.

The Army Welfare Housing Organisation (AWHO) —a Delhi-based welfare society formed by serving defence personnel which constructed the complexes to provide low-cost housing to servicemen and war widows— has served legal notices on the managing committees of the two societies, asking them to refrain from violating regulations laid down by AWHO at the time of allotment.(Click to Read More)

3) RTI Activist Reveals Army Welfare Housing Organization( AWHO )Has Betrayed “By Approving Selling Of Flats To Civilians”!!

RTI Activist team has accessed documents which reveal that Houses meant for Ex-Defence Personnel are sold out to civilians and are causing major problems for residents, mostly senior citizens / war widows belonging to armed forces residing in Army Officers colony and represent interests of the majority of the ex-Defence residents of the Society built on MHADA leased land at concessional rates as a welfare measure of Defence personnel.

The housing was provided through Army Welfare Housing Organization whose aim is to provide “quality housing at affordable cost at no loss no profit basis” exclusively to serving / retired defence personnel and their widows. (Click to Read More)

View Pate Developers' West Coast Park Shivane Warje Annex Pune 411023 in a larger map

On Friday, 27th April 2012, Pate Developers (www.patedevelopers.com) opened booking of 3 buildings in West Coast Park, near Z P School at Shivane Gram Panchayat, Pune 411 052.

The launch ad said - "Buy a home here and get a 1 acre park for free!".

This 1 acre park, the ad claimed, will offer an opportunity to 576 couples in West Coast Park at Shivane Gram Panchayat to spend quality time with their 2 kids - certainly, one boy and one girl.

When i tried to visualize all 576 couples with their 2 kids, means some 2,340 people in 40,000 sq.ft. park in West Coast Park at Shivane Gram Panchayat - it looked like an all out family orgy to me.

However, i couldn't enjoy this family orgy for more than a couple of minutes. Because, suddenly, a foul smell filled my nostrils and I couldn't breathe.

I rushed to the kitchen but the LPG gas stove was off. So, I rushed to my neighbor and started banging on their door.

"Why do you buy milk? To drink or to burn?," i shouted as soon as my neighbor's wife opened the door.

"Yes, what an unbearable smell! I thought, for a change, you burned your milk today!," my neighbor's wife said.

"It's not the milk! It's full page ad of Pate Developers' West Coast Park at Shivane Gram Panchayat! Did you get carried away by an idea of getting 1 acre park for free?," my neighbor's husband said.

"Yes! But i had to stop enjoying 1 acre park because of the bad smell of your burning milk!," I complained.

"We were doing the same!," my neighbor's wife said.

"Did you see me in your visual? You were in mine!," i asked my neighbor's wife.

"Certainly! Look! We always fantasize the same thing. But for the first time we also smelled the same thing! How come?," my neighbor's wife asked.

"Your nose is very sharp!," my neighbor's husband said to his wife.

"And your lips are delicious!," i said to my neighbor's wife.

"Focus on the issue! This is about the nose! I know from where the smell came!," my neighbor's husband said.

"Where?," my neighbor's wife & I asked.

"From 1 acre park in West Coast Park! It was the smell of 576 families in the West Coast Park! They haven't taken a bath for a long long time!!," my neighbor's husband said.

"Why?," i asked.

"Because, there is no water supply in the fringe villages of Pune!," my neighbor's husband said.

"How do you know?," i asked.

"My husband is not like you! He reads news in the paper. He knows everything. Because of him - we are here!," my neighbor's wife said.

"But...you always said because of me!," i said.

"That's true! I mean - we couldn't buy a new flat because of my husband!! General knowledge is not good!," my neighbor's wife said.

"Not this time! I am suggesting to Pate Developers to offer a free water tanker for each booking!!," my neighbor's husband said.

"But you were talking about other offers! Discount in the recently hiked stamp duty - discount in recently hiked service tax - discount in home loan interest rates - assurance about lifts - why suddenly you changed your demands?," my neighbor's wife asked her husband.

"I haven't given up those ideas! I have just added "1 water tanker for free" to my list of demands!!," my neighbor's husband said.

"But - instead of a 1 acre park - why didn't the builder think of these offers?," i asked.

"Because West Coast Park is Pate Developers's first project in a fringe village of Pune! So, we all have to suggest an offer that will sell their flats!," my neighbor's husband said.

1) Water Supply to 21 Fringe Villages:

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to continue water supply to 21 fringe villages located outside the civic jurisdiction for the time being.

A decision in this regard was taken in a meeting with the sarpanchs of the villages on Friday.

In view of the water shortage and non-payment of Rs 15 crore as the water bill, the civic body was thinking of stopping water supply to the fringes villages.

The civic body provides 16.80 MLD water to fringe villages including Manjari, Keshavnagar, Undri, Pisoli, Sadesataranali, Lohegaon, Wagholi, Shivane, Bavdhan, Sus, Mhalunge, Bhugaon, Narhe, Dhayari, Nanded, Kirkitwadi, Khadakwasla, Ambegaon, New Kopare, Kondhwe-Dhavade and Uttamnagar that fall within five km radius of the city.

2) Maharashtra Stamp Duty Hike:

Maharashtra Stamp Duty Hike

Property purchasers in Maharashtra would now have to shell out more towards payment of stamp duty after the stated ‘rationalisation and simplification’ of duty structure proposed in the annual Budget. The government is expected to get another Rs 600 crore yearly. (Click to Read More)

3) Maharashtra Stamp Duty Hike on Rental-Leave-License:

Residential apartments are usually given on renewable leases of 11 months, with the nature of agreement being leave and license. The current stamp duty on these agreements is nominal at 0.1% of the lease amount. If the proposed hike takes place, a person paying a rent of Rs. 10000 per month will cough up stamp duty to the tune of Rs. 1200 as opposed to the earlier Rs. 120 rupees. (Click to Read More)

4) 12 per cent Service Tax:

The raising of service tax from 10% to 12% is going to negate the growth of the housing sector, already burdened and in dire need of sops from the government. (Click to Read More)

5) Frequent Lift Accidents in Maharashtra:

There were 86,154 lifts in Maharashtra state as of 2010 and about 5,000 were added every year. However, the public works department (PWD) has only 36 inspectors for over 86 ,000 lifts in Maharashtra , experts cite the lack of regular inspection as the main reason for frequent elevator accidents. (Click to Read More)

6) Home Loan Interest Rates:

The city's real estate players have responded with caution to the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) decision to cut the key interest rates by 50 basis points. They have said the impact of the decision on the interest rates that banks charge on home loans will be positive, though not adequate to make these loans affordable.

The home loan interest rates, currently hovering around 11%, are still high, considering the pressures of inflation on the repayment capacity of the borrowers, the players felt. (Click to Read More)

3) The said M/s.Achalare Associates filed a Suit [bearing Special Civil Suit No.1103 of 2004] in the Court of the Civil Judge, Senior Division, Pune at Pune seeking specific performance of the said Memorandum of Understanding and for other reliefs. The said M/s.Achalare Associates sought Interim Orders from the said Court restraining the said Shri.Ramesh H. Hansrajani and Three Others from alienating / transferring or dealing of the said Land pending hearing and final disposal of the said Suit. However, the said Trial Court rejected / dismissed such Application made by the said M/s.Achalare Associates. The said M/s.Achalare Associates therefore preferred an Appeal from Order to the Hon’ble High Court, Bombay. The Hon’ble High Court Bombay dismissed the said Appeal preferred by the said M/s.Achalare Associates on merits. The said M/s.Achalare Associates has not challenged the said Order of the Hon’ble High Court before the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India and hence the said Order of the Hon’ble High Court, Bombay dismissing the Plea of M/s.Achalare Associates for Interim Relief is final. Despite its Plea being rejected by the Hon’ble High Court, Bombay, the said M/s.Achalare Associates again made an Application for Interim Injunction in the said Pending Suit.

However, specific relief of the terms of the said Memorandum of Understanding will not be granted.

7) All these facts are covered in the Title report issued by our Advocate Rajiv Patel and Associates.

Kharadi Hadapsar Bypass on Nagar Road - Visit Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014

Pre-Launch Offer of Gera's Park View 1 in December 2008 - An Uninspiring Story!

This weekend, at last, Gera Developments (www.gera.in) launched Gera's Park View 1 at Kharadi, Pune 411 014. Gera's Park View 1 is the third phase of Gera's Emerald City, adjoining EON IT Park at Kharadi.

The launch ad labeled 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats in Gera's Park View 1 as - "competitively priced premium properties". Certainly, as usual there were couple of * (stars)in the launch ad. One (*) on the "Special Launch Offer". Second (*) on "Modular Kitchen with a hub & chimney". Third (*), obviously, said that T & C (Terms & Conditions) Apply. You know what was the fourth (*)? ADF Facility Also Available (!).

The launch ad didn't mention 2 things. One, EON IT Park. Two, more than 3 years delay for launching Gera's Park View 1.

Anyways, Pune property buyers give least importance to delayed possession and delayed launch. But for the sake of Pune Builders, I thought that Gera Developments should have taken the credit for the maximum delayed launch. This would have inspired many Pune builders to break the record of Gera's Park View 1 - Pre-launch offer in December 2008 and launch in April 2012!

When i gave a second thought, i realized that delayed launch of Gera's Park View 1 would have failed to inspire Pune builders! Because, in 2008, Gera Developments had only accepted the cheques of booking amount. Gera didn't deposit those cheques. Gera neither used the property buyers booking amount. Nor blackmailed the property buyers to give their own contribution. Instead of that, when Gera Developments realized that the launch of Gera's Park View 1 will be delayed, they returned the original cheques to the property buyers! How uninspiring!

From Compact, Affordable & Happy-sized Homes in 2008 to 1 BHK & 2 BHK Slots in 2012 - Interesting Transformation of Gera's Park View 1:

2008 - 1 BHK - 598 Saleable - Rs. 17,53,170 (1st Floor) to 18,15,659 (11th Floor) - Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014

2008 - 2 BHK Flat - 993 Saleable - Rs. 28,75,272 (1st Floor) to 29,80,465 (11th Floor) - Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014

Curious to know whether the plans of Gera's Park View 1 are the same as they were in 2008, I visited www.gera.in - the website of Gera Developments. Yes, the floor plans of 1 BHK Flat & 2 BHK Flats were quite different! The current 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats are neither "homes". Nor typical flats. There is no kitchen. There is only one hall - a slot - in which you can cook, eat & sit. Every slot comes with either one bedroom or two bedrooms. 23 feet x 12 feet slot with 1 bed room of 10 feet x 10 feet 9 inches. 26 feet 9 inches x 12 feet slot with 2 bedrooms of approx (10' x 12' & 10' x 11') or (10' x 13' & 10' x 12') - Interesting! Isn't it?

This change reflects the life style of property buyers of 2012. No one wants a home anymore. What all one needs is a place to rest after the job. Buying decision is based on the connectivity, saleable area and EMI. Plain & impersonal - like blue jeans - easy to sell & buy when you change the job. So, what is the point in creative planning? Thorough market research must have convinced the Gera Developments.

That's why they altered the old plan of 2008.
Removed kitchen.
Cancelled the private entrance pathway which was useful for drawing rangoli and lighting diyas in Diwali.
Cancelled the split levels in the 2 BHK Flats.
Cancelled 10 feet 4 inches x 2 feet 6 inches loft - 4 feet above the floor - till ceiling - in the 2 BHK Flats on Even Floors - which you could have transformed into built-in cupboards or a cute bunk bed for your baby.
At the same time, removed the compact 5’ x 5’ space - with 12 feet height in the 2 BHK Flats on Odd Floors
- which you could have used as a place for “pooja”.
However, they didn't change the separate W C & Bath in the 1 BHK Flats
- or dry the balcony in the 2 BHK Flats.
Now, a home is out and a slot is in!

Instead of wasting energy in guessing - What would be the property prices of 1 BHK & 2 BHK Slots in Gera's Park View 1 - I was walking on EON IT Park Tar Road. Admiring landscape, pavement & street lights. In fact, i was almost overwhelmed with this huge development and the construction progress of EON IT Park. What progress! 45 acre EON IT Park - sanctioned in September 2006 - may be completely ready in the next 1 or 2 years! What a historic moment it would be!!

"Ravi Karandeekar, what are the prospects of development of Kharadi?," the caller asked me.

"Only God & Times of India knows! But, why are you asking?," i said.

"An hour ago - i booked a 2 BHK Flat in Gera's Park View 1 for 52 Lakhs!," my reader said.

"Congratulations! You are a rich man - living in a poor and backward country!," I said.

"I am not rich! I sold my 2 studio apartments in Amanora and invested that money in Park View 1," the caller said.

"Interesting! You withdraw from the planned 400 acres development owned by one and ask me the prospects of 400 acres owned by 10 builders who will only build nothing but the buildings!! Do you know that Pune, State & National Governments are bankrupt - financially & politically?," i asked.

"I know. I live in Mumbai. I read newspapers. I am not interested in your political opinion - tell me about the development of Kharadi," my reader said.

"You tell me why did you invest in Kharadi!," i asked.

"Gera is good. Location of Park View 1 - is strategic - as if it's 'town center' of Kharadi. EON will give me good rental income. From Gera to Marval & Panchshil all have big sized premium projects on the road which connects Nagar Road & Keshavnagar Mundhwa - beyond river - it's called Billionaire's Boulevard! Geras are developing Club - SEZ - Medical City - and upmarket Trinity Towers. Lots of developments are planned - question is in how many years - your guess!," my reader said.

"What will you do if i said more time than your expectations?," i asked.

"If i cancel in the next 7 days - Gera will return all my money - no cancellation charges!," my reader said.

"Gera is great! Are you looking for short term investment like your last one?," i asked.

"No. This time 5 - 6 years! Like my first one in Magarpatta - long term," my reader said.

"Good! Start counting 5 - 6 years after your 2 BHK gets the completion certificate!! Till then consider your investment as social work of providing cheap rental housing - of course - if you would have done this with your investment in Amanora - those 5 - 6 years would have come early!," i said.

"There is a huge difference between a studio apartment and a flat! And Kharadi is more popular! By the time of possession - in the next 2 & half years - the rates in Kharadi will touch 6,000," my reader said.

"If i had been working as a salesman - by tomorrow morning - rates of Kharadi would have crossed 6,000!," i said.

"Why? Because I know how to type & make xerox copies of property price list!," i said.

"Good sense of humor!," my reader said and disconnected.

When I reached Gera's Emerald City (South), venue of the launch event, I saw 2 friends discussing at the temporary parking in the 4 acre plot given to PMC for Garden & Play Ground. Over looking this garden is the USP of Gera's Park View 1!

"Booked?," i asked them.

"No. Not yet. Not in our budget. 40 lakhs for a 1 BHK & 55 Lakhs for 2!," one of them said.

"Aren't you working in IT?," i asked.

"Yes. We are. In EON IT Park," one of them said.

"Got the job a few months ago?," i asked.

"No. Over 4 years . My package is 5 lakhs. Not much. Can't afford even 40 lakh's 1 BHK," the other said.

"40 for a 1 BHK & 2 BHK for 55 Lakhs was a shock for me! Didn't expect so much rate," the first said.

"Property price is not an issue. Problem is you are living in the past. You know? This is 2012. Not 2004 - 2005," I said.

"In 2004 - we were in college!," one of them said.

"True. But, today, if you had been living in 2012 - you would not have thought of buying a home. Look at this builder - Gera's SEZ was sanctioned in those old days - but he has given up the idea - because, these builders know that those days are over - look at this road - it's not even a tar road - those who live in that Gera's Emerald City North are using it for nearly 2 years! It's not about money - it's about living in 'now'! Hallucinations of prosperity are over - once again we have become a poor country. If you don't come to terms with reality - builders & bankers are waiting to eat you alive at Wagholi!" i said.

"Buying home is a crime or what?," the other said.

"No!, but craving for a fake ownership is. Living in debt is. In 1800 it was Opium - now, it's EMI - you can't live without it!," I said and took leave.

Cafe Booking Day at Gera's Park View 1, EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune:

Meeting sales staff of Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014

Good response to the launch of Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014

It was Sunday evening. The evening of the first IPL match in Pune. But there were a small crowd at the launch venue of Gera's Park View 1.

The event was well organized. It was on the podium of one wing of Gera's Emerald Park (South). In other wings property buyers were staying. Newly completed project was looking like freshly cut water melon.

The contact form was well written, designed & printed. Successfully creating an impression that your visit is important to the builder.

Visit to the show flat of Gera's Emerald City was assuring & reminding that Gera is a good builder.

After a visit to the show flat - the next stop was - Cafe Coffee Day. CCD was serving lemon tea and wet napkins.

View of more than ten tables where visitors were seriously discussing with the sales staff of Gera Developments was increasing my blood pressure.

At regular short intervals someone was booking a flat. He was given a sapling of Tulsi - in a paper bag. All present at the venue were clapping for him.

It was a nerve breaking experience. Everyone from Gera Developments was serious and polite.

No visitor was casual, angry or sarcastic. I was expecting that at least someone will cry - What? 1 BHK for 40? 2 BHK for 55 Lakhs! But no. I didn't hear a single cry. Seriousness became unbearable, so I left the venue.

Why Gera's Park View 1, Kharadi, Pune 411 014:

Visit Gera's Park View1, 1 BHK & 2 BHK Flats at Gera's Emerald City, near EON IT Park, Kharadi, Pune 411014 - Hoarding & EON IT Park

1) To find out the reasons for the huge response to Gera's Park View 1 at Kharadi, i called Mr. Pankaj Sampat, leading real estate consultant in East Pune.

There isn't anything unusual - unexpected about it. It was bound to happen. Take my word - soon, Kharadi - will take the place of Kalyaninagar. Gera is the most respected and trusted builder in Pune. Anyone would be happy to pay a little premium to Gera.

Instead of buying 20 year old 1 BHK for 40 - 45 Lakhs in VimanNagar or Kalyaninagar - paying the same amount to Gera's Park View 1 - is any time a better deal. Same about a 2 BHK Flat. Where can you get a 2 BHK in 50 - 55 lakhs? Nowhere but at Gera's Park View 1.

2) Shrikant, one of my readers who on the day of the lunch booked a 2 BHK Flat in Gera's Park View 1 at Kharadi is in dilemma.

"In the same budget - 50 lakhs - i am getting a 3 BHK Flat in Dhanori. What should i do?," he asked.

"It's easy - if you need 3 bedrooms - go to Dhanori!," i said.

"Would it be wise in the long run? Kharadi is a prime area. This is once in a life time opportunity!," he said.

"What is more important to you? Space inside your home - or outside your home?," i asked.

"Both! That's the problem!!," he said.

Guys, can you help Shrikant?

Megapolis April 2008 to April 2012:

View Investing in Hinjewadi IT Park Phase 2 & 3, Pune in a larger map

Pretending as the 3rd integrated township - after Amanora & Blue Ridge - formed as per Special Township Act of Maharashtra Government, in April 2008, Pegasus Properties - joint venture of Avinash Bhosale Group, Kumar Properties, GIC, and MIDC - launched 1,400 Crore Megapolis on 150 acre land leased from MIDC for 95 years.

At the time of launch of Megapolis (www.megapolis.co.in), Mr. Amit Bhosale, Director of Pegasus Properties, has announced that the first phase of 900 flats will be ready in 24 months - 2 years and rest of the 21 story 58 towers will be ready in 5 years. Means, in April 2013.

However, today, in April 2012, some 50 property buyers are living in - not completely ready - Sangria Towers, the first phase of Megapolis. These Sangria Towers, cluster of 9 towers of 21 stories, will take more than one year to complete.

However, 150 acre Megapolis isn't an unusual phenomenon. Other big townships - Amanora 400 acres (www.amanora.com), Blue Ridge 138 acres (www.blueridge.in), Nanded City Pune 700 acres (www.nandedcitypune.com) - all launched approximately 4 years ago - are in the same boat. Today, approximately 50 property buyers - a few more or less - have somehow managed to get possession of their flats in these townships.

Why only consider big size townships in Pune? There are many small size projects in Pune real estate market - 200 to 300 flats in 5 - 6 Buildings of 11 story - launched 4 years ago are still not completely ready in Wakad & Baner! For example Rohan Tarang Wakad (2006) & Rohan Leher Baner (2008)!!

In December 2009, to revive the almost stalled Megapolis, Pegasus Properties took two steps. First, it reduced the property rates of Sangria Towers from Rs. 3,200 per sq.ft. to Rs. 2,850 per sq.ft. Second, it launched Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 - approximately 1200 units of 1 BHK Flat - 480 Carpet - for Rs. 16.6 to 16.9 Lakhs & 2 BHK Flats - 760 Carpet - for Rs. 24.86 to 25.35 Lakhs.

Compared to Celestial City Ravet and other affordable compact flats launched at that point in Pune real estate market, for sure, Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 was a better offer. Mainly, because of it's location - in the third phase of Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjewadi and the ready road and other infrastructure developed by MIDC. Obviously, Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 received good response. Considering the progress of construction, if Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 would be ready for possession in March 2013 - 3 years after the launch - it would be considered as a sort of a record in Pune real estate market.

Realizing that not the so called luxurious properties in Sangria Towers but the flats in Rs. 20 to 40 Lakhs price range is the key to survive, in August 2010, Pegasus Properties launched Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2. Just 6 - 7 months after the launch of Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1. At nearly the same property rate of the closing booking rate of Megapolis Smart Homes 1. Rs. 2,400 per sq.ft. for Non Garden Facing Flats on the 1st to 2nd Floors to 2,850 per sq.ft. for Garden Facing Flats on the 12th, 13th & 14th Floors.

However, Pegasus Properties managed to increase it's profits by marginally increasing the carpet areas of the 2 BHK Flats - from 760 sq.ft. in the Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 to 805 sq.ft. in Megapolis Smart Homes 2. Plus, in Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2, Pegasus Properties introduced 2.5 BHK Flat of 964 sq.ft. Carpet area.

All inclusive property price of Rs. 28.46 to 33.62 Lakhs for a 2 BHK Flat and Rs. 33.51 to 39.65 Lakhs for a 2.5 BHK Flat was, surely, not only affordable but also very attractive for the young Hinjewadi IT professionals, Defense Personnel, Managers in Central Government and salaried real estate investors in Pune & Mumbai. Who booked more than 600 units - nearly half of the total number of flats in Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2 - at the launch property prices in a few months.

Around November / December 2012, nearly 15 - 16 months after opening booking, Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2 was almost 'sold out' - all approx 1200 flats were booked. Last 2.5 BHK Flats - on 1st & Top (14th) Floor - were priced at Rs. 46.23 Lakhs.

Though the flats were not available, property buyers who were searching property kept on visiting Megapolis. Because, property prices in Pimple Saudagar, Wakad in PCMC and Balewadi, Baner, Bavdhan in PMC were beyond budget of most of the property buyers. Along with the prices and property, construction progress of Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 & Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2 was looking quite impressive for the visitors. Obviously, majority of visitors expressed their interest in the upcoming Megapolis Smart Homes 3 and left their contact details with the marketing team.

By March 2012, the sales team of Megapolis had compiled a long list of 900 would be property buyers but there wasn't a single flat available to sell. The sales team of Megapolis was siting idle. In the last 16 months, the team of contractors have nearly finished the RCC of Sunway - Megapolis Smart Homes 2 and they were available to start the RCC of Megapolis Smart Homes 3. It also means that, nearly 90 per cent payment of Sunway Megapolis Smart Homes 2 was already received and the balance 10 per cent may take 24 more months to come.

So, opening booking of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 was important for Pegasus Properties. Booking of Megapolis Smart Homes 3 was the only source of revenue for the builder. Booking of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 means work for the idle sales team. Booking of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 means not losing the RCC contractors.

So, on 13th March 2012, Pegasus Properties opened booking of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3. In the next 2 weeks, everything happened exactly as expected. RCC Contractors got work orders. Once again, the sales team of Megapolis became busy. Out of the list of 900 people, nearly 100 property buyers booked their flats by giving 15 per cent of the agreement value. Means, new & only source of revenue opened for the builder.

However, when i saw the booking forms, I noticed that most of the property buyers were experienced working couples. Not the young first time home buyer from Hinjewadi. Because of the property prices, Spendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 has lost it's sheen & edge. Megapolis Smart Homes has lost it's soul and body.

Now, i realized that, not the young IT professional - the first time home buyer - but the builder's greed for more profit has become the driving theme of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3. It's not win - win offer, anymore. Now, it's I (builder) win, you (the property buyer) lose - offer. Like all offers in Pune real estate market.

Killing of the goose that lays golden eggs:

When i visited the structure of RCC & Brick Work of Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1, I asked the salesman the reason behind launching 2 BHK Flats in Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 in the property price range of Rs. 45 Lakhs to Rs. 50 Lakhs.

Casually, he said, "Because, at some point of time the builder has to focus on earning profits! You know that we sold Smart Homes 1 & 2 at very low price..."

"Not at low price but at the right property price - because at that point of time you were struggling to survive. Now, you may be safe - but what about the completion of the entire 150 acre Megapolis?," I asked.

"Come on...timely possession and completion of the project are property buyers' concerns. For a builder what matters is 'how' - not 'when'. Smart Homes 1 was social work - Smart Homes 3 is business," the salesman of Megapolis said.

"Don't you think that Smart Homes 3 would be quite a slow business? Look how much time you took to sell bigger & better 2 BHK Flats for Rs. 45 to 50 Lakhs in A, E, G, H Towers of Sexy Sangria?," i asked.

"Who told you that we are in a hurry? Plus, ask any property property buyer in Smart Homes 1, 2 & Sangria - they will tell you that they all are happy about appreciation of their investment! Our goal is - customer satisfaction!," the salesman said.

Yes, the salesman of Megapolis was right. All Pune property buyers in Pune real estate market always believe in all ideas which are always beneficial for the Pune builders.

After you book a flat - you suddenly stop bothering about your colleagues and friends, your younger brothers and sisters, your relatives and neighbors - who are looking for a home. Irrational property rate is no more your concern. Unethical, abusing and exploitative business practices of the Pune builders and housing finance companies don't make you angry.

After booking a property you turn into a selfish pig. What matters to you is the value of your property. You become so dumb that when builder increases property rates for more profits - you take it as an appreciation of your property! So, the salesman of Megapolis was right. Those who have already booked must be happily congratulating themselves and Pegasus Properties.

Same with those who are looking for home near Hinjewadi! True, majority would be unhappy about the hiked property rates of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3. But, like politics - not the enlightened majority but naive minority always supports and accepts the property prices.

These naive minority would be property buyers, the builders of Megapolis Smart Homes 3 know - will not ask - on what basis Pegasus Properties demands the property rate of Rs. 3,500 to 3,750 per sq.ft. In any business - from a supplier - a purchase manager of a company demands for the bifurcation of the cost. But in real estate business, the property buyer never asks to his supplier - the builder - what is the cost of a land, cost of RCC & brickwork - plaster, cost of bought out finishing items like tiles, sanitary fittings, doors and windows.

Even when the land is given by MIDC, which is owned by Maharashtra Government, to Pegasus Properties for the purpose of providing housing for the workers of IT Companies in Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park at Hinjewadi. Where increase in the property rate should be related to increase in the cost of construction raw material and labor charges.

These minority would be property buyers are too desperate to ask whether it's constitutional for the Sate Owned MIDC - which is one of the partners in Pegasus Properties - to use Maharashtra Government's land for exploiting the citizens of Maharashtra!

Who will go to Bombay High Court against Maharashtra Government and demand - Was this land acquired from the farmers of Maharashtra to make Avinash Bhosale Group, Kumar Properties and GIC - investment arm of Singapore Government, rich?

Not only the white color workers in IT Companies, but Pegasus Properties knows that the Hinjewadi Industries Association (www.hiapune.in) which launched "Hinjewadi First" to demand better roads, power and water for Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park will not lift a finger for it's workers!

Hinjewadi Industries Association will not insist on providing housing for the eligible majority of it's workers. Instead of that, like these industries have always done, they will start talking about expected rise in the job opportunities in the third phase of Hinjewadi. Which will frighten those who are not convinced about the property & price and are siting on the fence to jump in the fire and book in Spledour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3 - before the property price rises after the certain number of bookings!

"Mr. Ravi Karandeekar, property prices is not an issue. On your blog you should write about "increased service tax in Union Budget 2012"! You should talk against banks for not reducing home loan interest rates. You should be against banks not funding stamp duty, registration charges, service tax and other charges. All these increases the own contribution of the property buyer, reduces his eligibility for a home loan and makes buying a home more difficult for him!," the salesman of Megapolis said.

"Yes! You are right! I should write about it. Fighting with the government is better than loosing your friendship. Agreed, I should never write about your property prices. But, considering these issues what motivated you to launch properties in the price range of Rs. 45 to 60 lakhs?," i asked.

"We keep our eyes open. Though we are a few kilometers away - we are aware about the property prices in Wakad and Baner - Balewadi! If you compare the property prices of Spendour - Megapsoli Smart Homes 3 - with the prices in the known & familiar areas in PMC & PCMC - you will accept that our property rates are competitive!," the salesman said.

"So are the rates in Life Republic (www.liferepublic.in) and Nanded City Pune! You know what? Someone asked me to help him choose between Life Republic & Megapolis Smart Homes 3. He said costing of a 2 BHK Flat in both the projects is nearly the same - he was confused about finalizing! Can you guess, what would have I said?," i said.

"Certainly! Splendour!! We are planning to give possession of all buildings in March 2015 - in just 3 years!," the salesman said.

"Yes! I could say that only in 2013 - after you give possession of Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1!! However, i never expect any builder to give possession on time. Why take a trouble to give possession on time - when you have already received 95 per cent of the payment? What can any property buyer do who has signed an agreement which is in the builder's favor? So, possession is not a point. Point is - Life Republic is planned as a small private city - whereas - Megapolis is a housing colony of white color workers of Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. I told him that it's his personal preference - whether he want his son to grow up as a worker's son or a private citizen!," i said.

"No wonder your readers say that you are biased about Life Republic!," the salesman said.

"Why readers? I myself say that I am biased about all integrated townships and the projects in the residential zones of Hinjewadi Phase 2 & 3 - which includes Megapolis too! But when it comes to choose between the two - for a fact - no human being will like to live on the "Animal Farm" - in the residential zone of Hinjewadi Phase 2 & 3! By pricing irrationally - you have exposed your negative side!," i said.

Guys, when the offer is unethical - do you see any point in talking about the planning, specifications and amenities?

Anyways, Megapolis Smart Homes 3 is just a little bigger version of 2 at a very big property price and the minority would be property buyers only bother about - what are the prospects of appreciation of Splendour - Megapolis Smart Homes 3. Right?

And the answer is - there never will be shortage of the naive property buyers who care less for their life & money!

Smart.....Smarter.....Smartest.....

Mr. Hemant Kulkarni, V. P., Pegasus Properties, joint venture of Avinash Bhosale Group & Kumar Properties & developers of Megapolis, Hinjewadi, Pune 411 057 - 3

After visiting Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1, on 4th April 2012, I once again complemented Mr. Hemant Kulkarni, Vice President, Pegasus Properties, for his smart decision to launch 1 BHK Flats - 480 Carpet - for all inclusive property price of Rs. 16.6 to 16.9 Lakhs & 2 BHK Flats - 760 Carpet - for Rs. 24.86 to 25.35 Lakhs in December 2009 and said, "Now, even if you give possession of these 1,200 flats by March 2013, it will be a sort of record in Pune real estate market!"

"It's not me - nor the homes - but those who booked a flat in Sparklet who are smart! And - didn't you see that we can give possession in the next 6 months?," Mr. Hemant Kulkarni said.

"Whether you can or can't give possession is not an issue! But considering that you started construction only after the flat owners of Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 performed Bhoomipujan on 30th January 2010, 3 years - February 2010 to March 2013 - to construct 14 story 22 Towers is, for sure, unheard of in Pune real estate market. If Pune property buyers realize that it's possible - they will stop borrowing at high interest rates from banks and lending interest free funds to the builders - who take more than 5 years to complete 300 - 400 flats scheme!"

"Yes! Now, at this stage of construction - it's difficult to believe that - these are 'smart' - affordable - homes! You know what? Even at this stage, Sparklet looked quite 'glamorous' to me - in fact a lot better than the digital images! I felt happy for recommending Sparklet - Megapolis Smart Homes 1 to my readers!!," I said.

"Yes! That's was very smart of you!," Mr. Hemant said and started talking about "Temporary Tapri Essential Shopping Mall at Megapolis" and Pawar Public School - CBSE Curriculum - which will open from Nursery to 4th Standard classes from June 2012.

"Great! Now, tell me who is the smartest?," i asked Mr. Hemant Kulkarni.

A 2 BHK Flat - 720 sq.ft. Carpet + 54 sq.ft. Terrace for Rs. Rs. 59.33 Lakhs (approximate all inclusive property price) - in Sanjeevani Developers' Ashtagandh Phase 3 on Baner Road, Pune 411 045:

Sanjeevani Developers' Ashtagandha Phase 3 A - 2 BHK Flat - 720 Carpet + 54 Terrace for Rs. 59.33 Lakhs (approx all inclusive property price)

Sacrifice:

Sanjeevani Developers (www.sanjeevanideve.com) have unique ability. Sanjeevani Developers can get into your shoes. Can visualize, plan and build an ideal home for you. You - who are not interested in materialistic pleasures. You - who want to live a simple life. You - who want to devote your life to mosquitoes & birds.

When i visited the possession ceremony of the 2nd phase of Ashtagandh on Baner Road, i realized that Sanjeevani Developers take extra efforts to remove all obstacles which prevent you from living with mosquitoes & birds. They help you to give away most of your money. To them. Nearly 60 lakh rupees. It's like burning a bridge - cutting a rope! When you are left with no money - for sure - you can't even think of indulging in materialistic pleasures. You don't have any option but to be happy in the company of birds and mosquitoes around you.

Sin:

In the current credit card economy, who knows you may commit the sin of buying 567 liter LG Side by Side Refrigerator with Home Bar and Water & Ice Dispenser. To prevent you from committing such sins, Sanjeevani Developers have kept the carpet area of a 2 BHK Flat only 720 sq.ft.. Not only that, to make it difficult for you to bring home any sinful object which comes in king size - double bed, sofa set, LCD TV - Sanjeevani Developers have kept floor lobby and entrance lobby of your flat too small. All this will help you to devote your life to mosquitoes & birds.

Sensibility:

Now, look how Sanjeevani Developers takes elaborate efforts to fulfill your wish to live for mosquitoes & birds. To offer free entry to mosquitoes in your home, Sanjeevani Developers don't provide mosquito nets for windows and terrace doors. To offer water to the birds, Sanjeevani Developers provide water dispensers in your terrace. To invite birds, Sanjeevani Developers makes you plant a tree near your home. Not only that! To make your terraces easily accessible for the birds, Sanjeevani Developers constructs the building of only parking + 3 or 4 story. All this just to fulfill your wish to offer your blood to mosquitoes and water to birds!

Isn't Sanjeevani an extraordinary developer who makes living ordinary life quite possible?

Vascon Nature Springs - Ghost Town or Housing Solution at Talegaon Dabhade?

2012-03-27T12:03:00.000+05:30

Villas, Row Houses, Premium 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats at Vascon Nature Springs Varale, on Talegaon - Ambi - Navlakh Umbre Road, in Maval, Pune 410 507:

Vascon Nature Springs Villas Row Houses 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats at Varale near Talegaon Dabhade Taluka Maval District Pune 410 507

View Vascon Nature Springs & Nature's Nest Varale near Talegaon Dabhade Maval 410 507 in a larger map

It was easy to hide my admiration about the location of Vascon's Twin Projects - Nature Springs & Nature's Nest. Because, all the salespersons at Vascon were completely convinced that the site was not at all attractive. It will look good only in the monsoon - they said.

But, when the salesperson started explaining the concept of Vascon Nature Springs, suddenly, he became very confident. Now, he was not at the mercy of beautiful nature which plays important role in second home - holiday home segment.

He was explaining the unique concept designed by one of the best architects in Pune real estate market. He was talking about Vascon Engineers ((BOM:533156) which is known for it's ability to build quality constructions all over India. Though there was nothing on the site - except the Regional Plan Road - the salesperson has all essential tools - model of the twin township, model of the villa & floor plans - to explain the concept of Vascon Nature Springs.

And you know what? Vascon (www.vascon.com) has really planned this twin project quite well! After a few minutes, it became difficult for me to pretend that i was not at all impressed. So, i started finding some excuse - not to demoralize the salesperson - but to control my enthusiasm!

For example, looking at 3,950 sq.ft. Royal Palm Row Houses - F Type Connected Villas - at Vascon Nature Springs , i said, "Grow up! No ethical builder talks about saleable area anymore! You must tell the plot size, carpet area of each floor and attached terrace of the villa! When you are not transparent - you don't look respectable professional real estate developer to me!"

I said this to hide my respect for Vascon. While developing 50 acre Nature Springs, Vascon is not destroying the natural topography of the plot. Instead of that, Vascon is using the contours and slopes of the plot to make the project a better living space. In fact, the way Vascon has planned the project, i am sure, after the completion, Nature Springs will look beautiful - not only in the monsoon, but - in all seasons!

"On the banks of Indrayani River" is a big attraction of Vascon Nature Spring at Varale. No doubt, a powerful USP for the second home - holiday home - weekend home buyers.

However, after walking from Talegaon Railway Station - through a well known middle class neighborhoods of Talegaon - Tapodham Colony & Yeshwant Nagar - i was finding it difficult to accept that Vascon Nature Springs is second home - holiday home - weekend home project.

For me, in the growing Talegaon Dabhade - Vascon Nature Springs was a natural option for the first time home buyers working between Lonavala and Pune Railway Station.

In fact, i was almost convinced that by launching Nature Springs, Vascon is offering a workable solution to Pune property buyers who can't afford to buy a property in the well known & familiar areas in PMC & PCMC. That's why - i suggested the salesperson to tell Mr. Vasudevan to take a walk from Talegaon Station to Vascon Nature Springs!

If Mr. Vasudevan takes a walk, for sure, he will realize that there is no pride in creating one more Ghost Town of weekend homes - like nearby Riverdale - and the M D of Vascon will rationalize the property prices of Nature Springs.

Keeping in mind the limited budget of young home buyers in Pune, Vascon will ask less than the current property prices of Nature Springs:
1) C Type 2 BHK Flat - 1215 saleable - Rs. 41.5 lakhs (all inclusive)
2) C Type 3 BHK Flat - 1525 saleable - Rs. 51 Lakh (all inclusive)
3) D Type 3 BHK Flat - Trendy Low Rise - Bangalore Type stylish 3 BHK Flat - which gives a feeling of living in a bungalow - 1620 saleable - Rs. 61.5 Lakhs (all inclusive)
4) F Type Connected Villa - 3950 saleable - Rs. 1.6 to 1.8 Crore (all inclusive)

All this is possible only if Mr. Vasudevan realizes that not only 'budget homes' in Vascon Nature's Nest - 1 BHK Flat for Rs. 21.5 Lakhs - 1.5 BHK Flat for Rs. 23.75 Lakhs - 2 BHK Flat for Rs. 31.5 Lakhs - but medium budget properties are also short of supply in Pune real estate market.

If spacious 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats are available in the budget of Rs. 35 to 45 Lakhs in the well planned Vascon project at Talegaon, young Pune property buyers would be happy to take a train to work! What say you, guys?

Vascon at Talegaon

2012-03-26T12:44:00.000+05:30

1) Vascon Nature Springs -
Villas, Row Houses, Premium 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats
2) Vascon Nature's Nest -
Budget 1 BHK, 1.5 BHK & 2 BHK Flats
at Varale - near Talegaon Dabhade, Taluka Maval, District Pune, 410 507:

On 23rd March 2012, Vascon Engineers (BOM:533156) performed Bhoomipujan Ceremony of "Nature Springs" & "Nature's Nest" at Varale, approximately 4 kilometers from Talegaon Railway Station on Talegaon Dabhade - Ambi - Navlakh Umbre Road in Maval, Pune 410 507.

I visited Vascon's (www.vascon.com) site on 24th. I took 12.10 Pune Lonavala Local at Shivajinagar Railway Station. At 1250, I was at Talegaon Station. Walking from Talegaon Station to Vascon's site was an interesting journey. However, when i reached the site, my first question was, "Where is that lady who answers your toll free number 1800 200 4441?"

"Welcome Mr. Ravi Karandeekar....why?...what happened? She sits in our head office in Pune.," the sales executive said.

"In this hot afternoon ...she made me walk from the station...she talked as if...this site is at a walking distance from Talegaon Railway Station," i said.

"Oh God! It means that your first impression about the project is not favorable! In fact, this is not the right time to visit this site. You should visit this site in monsoon. Now, it's dry. But in the rainy season, you can imagine, it will be green and beautiful. By that time, our site office and the sample flat will be ready and then we will launch the project!," the salesperson said.

"Then what did you do yesterday? Wasn't it a launch? You released ads.... announced special property rate...Rs. 2,750 per sq.ft.," I asked.

The salesperson was going to say something but a gentleman interrupted. Reminding the salesperson to allot 2 flats next to each other, the happy interrupter said bye bye.

"What's going on? You are taking bookings! 'Launch' is not about greenery and beauty - it's all about opening booking at high property rate. Right?," i said.

"You are upset! But tell me - did you tell the lady on the phone that you are not driving but walking?," the salesperson asked.

"Rude! Very rude!! Where is your M D - Mr. R. Vasudevan?," i demanded.

"He was here yesterday...tell me... i will pass on your message!," the salesperson said.

"Good! Tell him that this booking is as good as 'inside trading'.....Don't forget that Vascon is a listed company...in case of Vascon - construction quality - completion - possession are not issues....but it doesn't mean that you are free to rig the property prices!," i said.

"What are you talking? These are serious allegations. I can't tell him all this. Better you talk to him directly," the salesperson said.

"Fine! Can you pass on one simple message to Mr. R. Vasudevan?," i asked.

"Yes! Depends upon the message!!," the salesperson said.

"Tell him to call your toll free number 1800 200 4441.....follow her instruction....and walk from Talegaon Railway Station to your site!," i said.

"Is this a message or a punishment?," the salesperson asked.

"Punishment? You walk with your boss and see for yourself! Now, please, tell me about your project. I have to catch 1615 Lonavala Pune Local at Talegaon," i said.

"Don't worry...a car will drop you at Talegaon Station!," the salesperson said.

"Thanks! In that case I can enjoy your company till 4 o'clock!," i said.

However, i got lost in Vascon Nature Springs & Vascon Nature's Nest and took 1752 Local at Talegaon. Thanks to PMPML Round Buses! I was not late for 7.30 show of Agent Vinod at City Pride Kothrud!

Thanks to 'Rohan Leher' & 'Times Property' for "establishing" the property rate of this side of Baner. And, thanks to the education system in India, which teaches us all not to ask questions - but only to give an answer - mostly in 'yes' or 'no'. So, obviously, no educated & salaried property buyer in Pune real estate market questions the builder in Baner Pune - "Why is he asking Rs. X,XXX per sq.ft.?"

Today, all buildings in Nea Pure Homes Sus are ready. A few property buyers have not only taken possession but are actually staying in their flats.

However, 5th & 6th floors of Nea Pure Homes Sus are not yet sanctioned.

The other day, Mr. Vikas (90211 15253), sales person at Nea Pure Homes at Sus told me that soon the constructed 5th & 6th floors will be sanctioned and he will offer ready possession 1 BHK Flat for Rs. 25 lakhs and a ready possession 2 BHK Flat for 35 lakhs!

Delayed sanctions are blessings for the builders and curse for the property buyers!

3) Rachana Bella Casa 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats near Rohan Leher at Sus Gram Panchayat, Mulshi Taluka, District Pune 411 021:

Nearly 2 years ago, in May 2010, I made a mistake. I blogged pre-launch offer of Rachana Bella Casa at Sus Village.

In January 2012, again, i received a mail about pre-launch offer of Rachana Lifestyle's Bella Casa (www.rachanalifestyle.com). But this time, i didn't write about it. Because, i have realized that pre-launch offers are bad for the property buyers.

Pre-launch offer is nothing more than the builder's drive to collect interest free funds from the property buyers who don't have any knowledge about real estate business and don't have any experience of buying property.

If you want to know how these naive property buyers suffered, please, click here.

Alacrity Baner has 9 story 2 buildings. On each floor there are 6 units - 4 units of 2 BHK Flats + 2 units of 3 BHK Flats. Out of the 6 units - 4 units are east facing and are located on the approach road to Rohan Leher. Ideal for those who wear Rupa Frontline Banyans. Whereas, the 2 units which are on the backside, face Prithvi Developers' Pinewood, 10 story tower of 2 wings of 2 BHK Flats. Yeh andar ka mamla hai!

Alacrity Baner has opened booking of only one building. In this building, now, only a few 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats are available. All 6 units (2 units of 3 BHK Flats + 4 units of 2 BHK Flats) on the first floor. One 2 BHK Flat on the 2nd floor. And 2 units of 2 BHK Flats on the top floor - 9th floor.

Carpet areas of these available 2 BHK Flats in Alacrity are 788 / 812 / 815. And attached terraces are of reasonable size - 62 / 85 / 86 sq.ft.

Thanks to Rohan Leher & Times Property for "establishing" the property rate of this side of Baner. And thanks to the education system in India, which teaches us all not to ask questions - but only to give an answer - mostly in 'yes' or 'no'. So, obviously, no educated & salaried property buyer in Pune real estate market questions the builder of Alacrity Baner - "Why is he asking Rs. 4,600 per sq.ft.?" Result is - for the all neighboring projects of Rohan Leher - 'bookings' is "Aram Ka Mamla Hai".

Rohan Leher Baner Receives Completion Certificate!

2012-03-15T08:42:00.003+05:30

1) Rohan Leher Baner: Launched: April 2008 -
Part Completion Certificate: March 2012:

Launch Ad of Rohan Leher Baner 4th April 2008

Good news! For the property buyers, you know, possession before 31st March means a lot. Thanks & Congratulations, Rohan Builders!

At last, the time taking (nearly 6 - 7 months!) and stringent process of receiving NOCs from various concerned authorities and inspections by PMC engineers is over. Now, except under construction F Building, all floors of all buildings in Rohan Leher Baner have received completion - occupation - certificate from Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).

It means two things. One - PMC has certified that the Rohan Leher is constructed as per the sanctioned plans and all unnecessary services are operational. Two - now, Rohan Leher is safe to live.

The completion of Rohan Leher is no doubt a big achievement of Rohan Builders. When it was launched in April 2008, the location of Rohan Leher - like most of the Rohan Builders' locations - was not only unknown, unattractive & inconvenient but was difficult to identify. The launch ad said that Rohan Leher is near Balewadi Stadium!

Now, in the last 4 years, this side of Baner has become a known location and many projects are launched in Rohan Leher's neighborhood. Thanks to all Baner Lovers for the good response to all projects in and around Rohan Leher! Without spending a single rupee on the development of infrastructure, because of you, PMC & Town Planning has received good amount of development charges from the builders. And now, as a property tax, PMC (and neighboring Sus Gram Panchayat too) will earn a lot of money from you all. Without any expectations, please, continue giving your money to PMC. Don't be assertive, don't come together, don't demand anything, don't vote in PMC elections, don't participate in PMC budget, only keep on hoping for the 'development'!

Besides, opening up a new neighborhood in PMC and CRISIL Pune 7 Star Ratings, Rohan Leher will be always remembered for "Price Protection Scheme". In the Pune real estate slowdown of 2009, Rohan Builders has reduced the property rate of Rohan Leher by 600 rupees - from Rs. 3,500 to Rs. 2,900 per sq.ft. Not only for the new bookings but by default - without asking - for the old bookings too! Along with the price reduction, in that slowdown, Rohan Builders has also launched new compact - small size - flats too. Today, only a few garden flats (property price above 1 crore) are available in Rohan Leher Baner.

A Mantri Home for Santri

2012-03-14T09:15:00.001+05:30

1 Crore Rupees 3 BHK Flat in Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica, behind Shivar Garden Hotel, Rahatani, Pune 411017:

A 3 BHK Flat in Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica behind Shivar Garden Hotel Rahatani Pune 411017

Floor Lobby of Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica behind Shivar Garden Hotel Rahatani Road Pune 411017

Mr. Suhas Mantri (www.suhasmantri.com), who has done "The Comeback", has launched a couple of residential projects in Pune real estate market. Mantri Mystica at Rahatani is one of them.

Though the project wasn't advertised much, in the last 18 months, more than 40 property buyers have booked 3 BHK Flats in Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica. You know why? Because, there are many property buyers in Pune who believe that "nothing is perfect in this world".

If you are one of them, you will ignore the defective planning of a 3 BHK Flat in Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica Rahatani. You will convince yourself about the pleasure of living behind Shivar Garden Hotel, at Shivar Chowk of Pimple Saudagar.

You will read the list of specifications of Suhas Mantri's Mystica. You will tell yourself, "Arre Yaar, Sab Kuch Chalta Hai" And - you too - will pay around 1 crore for a 3 BHK Flat of 1,285 - 1,312 sq.ft. carpet area + terrace.

If someone points out that - a part of your 3 BHK Flat in Mantri Mistica is used for accommodating lifts or service ducts, you will say, "So what?".

If that fellow goes ahead and says, "But this adjustment - compromise - is done for the benefit of the builder. Only to fit more number of flats per floor. This is a defective property. Not a premium one. The lifts and ducts are always in the common floor lobby. Not in the flat!", you, for sure, will tell him - "Arre Yaar, Chalta Hai. Thoda Sa Adjust to Karna Hi Padta Hai! We are not Mantri. We are only Santri in Pune property market!!"

So, feel free to call +91-9850253000, +91-020-25655000 or visit www.mantri.com to know more about Suhas Mantri Constructions' Mystica, behind Shivar Garden Hotel, Rahatani, Pune 411 017.

KUL Ecoloch Mahalunge Update

2012-03-13T13:00:00.002+05:30

First 10 Months of Kumar Builders' KUL Ecoloch on Mahalunge Nande Road, Pune 411 045:

Ignoring my request, you keep on calling me to talk about KUL Ecoloch Mahalunge (www.kulecoloch.com). Tell me wonderful future plans like a bridge. Discuss lease clause in the agreement. And increase my curiosity.

But how can i fulfill my curiosity? The PMPML Bus is only up to Mahalunge Gaon. Tumtums or jeeps don't run on Mahalunge Nande Road. How can i visit KUL Ecoloch?

What a day! I realized that - now, i can walk 5 - 6 kilometers! I can walk from Mahaluge Gaon to KUL Ecoloch. Not only that! I can come back from KUL Ecoloch to Mahalunge Gaon Bustop too! So, the other day, nearly after 10 months, i visited 11 acre first phase of KUL Ecoloch!

And you know what? While coming back, a water tanker gave me a lift - from KUL Ecoloch to Mahalunge Gaon! This experience helped me to understand why some of you find KUL Ecoloch most convenient location for the guys working in Hinjewadi.

Now, after this visit, I want ot visit KUL Ecoloch again and again. You know why?

1) For the first time, i saw such a big site office and 'inspiration flat' of Kumar Builders. I want to see it again. And again. As many times as I can.

2) In that huge site office of KUL Ecoloch, that day, there was one sales executive. And a security guard. But, the sales executive told me that his other 3 colleagues had gone out. On an official duty. "It means there are 4 sales persons!?," I asked.

"Yes! We are 4!!," he said.

One more reason to visit KUL Ecoloch Mahalunge once again. I haven't seen 4 sales persons - sitting in such a huge site office - selling 11 acre project!

3) "11 acres is just a first phase! KUL Ecoloch is an integrated township of 300 acres!!," the salesperson said.

"1 sec. What do you do exactly? Sell flats or buy land? Your website says 110 acre. Now, you say 300!," I asked.

"The company keeps on buying land. Our job is to sell the flats," the salesman at KUL Ecoloch said.

"Good! You sell 1 BHK, 2 BHK 3 BHK Flats?," i asked.

"All 2 bHK Flats sold out! Only 1 BHK & 3 BHK Flats are available for booking!," he said. And gave me information about a 1 BHK Flat - 449.82 sq.ft. carpet + terrace - for Rs. 28.96 lakhs - all inclusive. And a 3 BHK Flat - 1,019.45 - 1,021.93 carpet area + terrace - for Rs. 61.93 - 69.95 lakhs - all inclusive.

"Possession?," i asked.

"December 2013 for 1 BHK Flats and December 2015 for 3 BHK Flats!," the sale executive at KUL Ecoloch said.

"Why so much time? You launched KUL Ecoloch in May 2011. 2 & a half year for 1 BHK 2 BHK Flats and 4 and a half year for 3 BHK Flats? Why?," i asked.

"Look at those buildings. You know? It's Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge. Even after 4 years - they haven't given possessions. They may take 2 - 3 years more to complete it. And look at us - we are giving possession of a high rise tower of 3 BHK Flats in 4.5 years!," the sales executive at KUL Ecoloch said.

"OK. Got it. But why 2 & a half year for 1 BHK & 2 BHK Buildings?," i asked.

"Because, these are 7 story buildings!," the sale executive said.

"7 story buildings! Wonderful!! I haven't seen 7 story buildings in many many years!!! Constructing 7 story building must be a huge challenge! All around Pune, i can see that all under construction buildings have mostly 11 stories! And in an integrated townships they construct 20 - 30 story towers. So, 7 story is just a wonder. Unique. Rare. I would like to visit KUL Ecoloch quite often!," i said.

4) "Yes! We are doing quite wonderful things at KUL Ecoloch!," the salesperson said.

"What can be more wonderful than what you have already told!," i said.

"We are constructing a bridge and connecting KUL Ecoloch to Hinjewadi!," the sales executive said.

"Really? That's wonderful! I was dying to hear this!! You know? I walked from Mahalunge Village to KUL Ecoloch - only to hear this. And i will keep on visiting KUL Ecoloch to hear it again and again. Till the bridge is ready!," i said.

For Those Who Can Make an ATM Spit Out Money!

2012-03-12T19:20:00.001+05:30

Amit Gaia, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats near Pride Platinum, Pancard Club, Baner, Pune 411 045 - Soft Launched!

Amit's GAIA Pancard Club Baner Pune 411 045 - Front Elevation

The Amit Enterprises Housing Ltd. has already made ASK Investment Holdings Pvt. Ltd. to spit out Rs. 270 Crore for Gaia, near Pancard Club at Baner. Now, it's your turn!

For a 2 BHK Flat at Amit's Gaia, you have to spit out Rs. 75 to 90 Lakhs. And for a 3 BHK Flat Rs. 105 to 120 Lakhs.

Yes, Amit Enterprises Housing (www.amitenterprises.com) knows that along with the heart, you - IT Guys in Hinjewadi - have brains too! For your love of Baner, you will use your skills to make an ATM spit out money.

And Amit Enterprises Housing also knows that you will not expect much value for your money. So, they just recycled the floor plan of a 2 BHK Flat at Amit's Colori Undri. Made a chawl type layout out of it and reduced their construction cost. To accommodate more number of flats, Amit Enterprises reduced the carpet area of a 2 BHK to 730 - 753 sq.ft. and 3 BHK Flat's only 1,000 sq.ft. Certainly, Amit Enterprises didn't forget to increase their profitability by attaching terraces.

However, you will not bother much about the poor planing and obscene property prices at Amit's Gaia - or lack of infrastructure at Pancard Club Baner. Because, after all your's is a spit money!

So, go ahead and call Nandkumar 9922998909 / Vikrant 8888861906 to know more about Amit's Gaia, near Pride Platinum, at Pancard Club, Baner, Pune 411 045.
