Welcome to Liviano Kharadi Pune 411 014!

Over flowing garbage on the way to Liviano Kharadi Pune 411 014

Shops dealing in dry garbage and metal scrap do roaring business on the road to Liviano Kharadi Pune

Site office of Liviano Kharadi Pune is on 700 meters from this point!

I had crossed the slum-like neighborhood to visit Liviaon at Kharadi Pune (www.liviano.in). I was asking the security guard - how much more would i have to walk to reach the site office. Suddenly, a car stopped near us. My friends, who were coming from Liviano's site office, asked me - whether i would like to visit Aura City at Shikrapur with them. Which was launched the same day.

You can visit Liviano while coming back - anyways, Liviano doesn't have a sample flat - you know all about properties & prices at Liviano - my friends tried their best to convince me and i accepted their invitation.

Unexpectedly, while coming back from Shikrapur, i became unwell and had to rush home - without visiting the site of Liviano Kharadi.

Next day, when my doctor told me to rest for a few days, i called the marketing in-charge of Liviano to find out the response.

He told me that the launch ad has done it's job - only those who had 'high' budget visited the site of Liviano. Most of the visitors were interested in 3 BHK Flats in Liviano - which was quite unexpected for him.

You know, the marketing in-charge of Liviano said, everyone takes time to decide to buy a high value property - when i asked about number of booking.

Yes, of course - i completely and instantly agreed with the marketing in-charge of Liviano Kharadi - because, i knew that the wise property buyers were going to wait till the entire project with all amenities is ready for possession with an occupation certificate from PMC and the 'proposed road' is operational!

So, till then, have a look at the video, 60 lakh rupees launch ad and the brochure of Liviano Kharadi Pune (www.liviano.in) and take your own time to visit the site!

24K Allura Residences Undri, NIBM Annex, Pune - Pre-Launch Offer

2011-09-06T07:28:00.001+05:30

24K Allura Residences, 3 BHK - 4 BHK Flats & Penthouses:
4th Phase of Kolte-Patil Developers' Hills & Dales,
near Corinthians Club, Undri, P O Mohammadwadi,
Hadapsar, Pune 411 014:

24K Allura Residences, 3 BHK 4 BHK Flats & Penthouses, 4th Phase of Kolte-Patil Developers' Hills & Dales, Undri (Click the Image to Enlarge)

"24K" is Kolte-Patil Developers' (www.koltepatil.com) luxury premium property brand. First introduced in Pimple Nilakh, Aundh Annex, as "24K - Gliterrati" (www.24kliving.com). Soon, "24K" will be launched near Corinthians Club, Undri, NIBM Annex, Pune 411 014. Means, the 4th Phase of Kolte-Patil Developers' Hills & Dales will be "24K Allura Residences"!

12 story 2 towers of "24K Allura Residences" has only 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flats and a few Penthouses. Pre-launch property rate is Rs. 4,500 per sq.ft. Floor-rise of Rs. 50 is applicable from the 5th floor.

A 4 BHK Flat in 24K Allura Residences, 4th Phase of Kolte-Patil Developers' Hills & Dales, Undri

Approximate saleable areas of 3 BHK Flats are 1604, 1740, 2020, 2170 & 2320 sq.ft. All inclusive property prices of these 3 BHK Flats in "24K Allura Residences", without floor-rise, are in the range of Rs. 81.76 Lakhs to 1.17 Crore.

Approximate saleable areas of 4 BHK Flats are 2075, 2105, 2255, 2305, 2670, 2705 sq.ft. And at the above property rate, without floor-rise, all inclusive property prices of 4 BHK Flats in "24K Allura Residences" are from Rs. 1.05 to 1.35 Crore.

I liked the master-bedroom in a 3 BHK Flat in "24K Allura Residences". Besides the bedroom size - 11 feet x 15 feet - for me 11 feet x 8 feet Master Bath means a lot. You know what? Master-bedroom in a 4 BHK Flat doesn't have such a spacious bath!

However, a 4 BHK Flat in "24K Allura Residences" comes with a servant's room. Assuming that the servant is a cook, kitchen is little smaller, 10 feet 6 inches x 8 feet 6 inches and length of a kitchen platform is so less.

Of course, I haven't seen the floor plans. I have seen only the typical plan of a 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flat, which i am sharing here with you. Looking at the sizes of the terraces, i feel that these terraces, sit-outs and corner glass windows are as useful for you as much as for the builder! Designed to enjoy the view, as well as for increasing the saleable areas, means, builder's profit.

Sample Flat of 24K Allura Residences

At Hills & Dales, I visited the sample flat of "24K Allura Residences". The sample flat gave me a good idea about the classic premium property Kolte-Patil Developers is planning to offer.

Squarish shape of a sample flat created warm homely feeling in my mind. Good sizes of living and dinning helped me to relax and unwind for a moment. Specifications - like Italian marble in the living & dining, wooden flooring in the master bedroom, glass enclosure in the Master Bedroom, Modular Kitchen with Hob & Chimmney, split a/c in all bedrooms, home automation system and DG Back-up - promised me quality of life and comfortable living in "24K Allura Residences".

When Ravi, who was continuously talking about the specifications and amenities, told me that the construction of "24K Allura Residences" has already began, i stopped admiring the sample flat and said, "Wonderful! Let us go and have a look!" For me, beginning of construction means that "24K Allura Residences" may have received all essential sanctions and approvals. It means that "24K Allura Residences" is not just a builders' day dream but a real estate offer!

When we came out of the office in the M Building, rains have stopped. The residents of the 3rd phase of Hills & Dales were busy in arranging community dinner in the club house. Pointing at the entrance of the 3rd phase and club house, Ravi told me that "24K Allura Residences" have a separate lavish club house with swimming pool, squash court and all!

I took the photographs of the plinths of "24K Allura Residences" and took Ravi's leave. I decided to go to Hadapsar, from where i can get a bus to Kothrud Depot. While waiting for the bus, i tried to replay my visit to "24K Allura Residences". I had walked NIBM Undri Road, from Jyoti Restaurant to Kolte-Patil's Hills & Dales, Undri. For me, NIBM is Urban Paradise and 'Patal Lok' is rural Undri. I call it "Ugly Undri".

However, when i saw the entrance gate of Kolte-Patil's Hills & Dales, i thought, it was some sort of a mirage in Ugly Undri. Couples taking evening walk and children playing in the gardens was only hallucination.

No! It was all real!! You just forget about the outside world when you are in Kolte-Patil's Hills & Dales. I think that's the most important reason to go for "24K Allura Residences Undri"!

Phadnis Properties' Eastern Ranges, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Pune - Quick Review!

2011-08-14T10:05:00.002+05:30

Website of Eastern Ranges (www.easternranges.com) Keshav Nagar - Up & Live!

Eastern Rages Keshav Nagar

A few minutes ago i found out that the website of Phadnis Properties' Eastern Ranges www.easternranges.com is up and live. Phadnis Properties, a Phadnis Group (www.phadnisgroup.com) company, is launching this premium residential project of 2 BHK, 3 BHK, & 4 BHK Flats, Garden Flats, & Duplex Penthouses today.

With the launch of Eastern Ranges, Rugwed Deshpande of Setu Advertising said, "Keshav Nagar" will become a popular residential neighborhood in the eastern part of Pune real estate market. In this video interview Rugwed explains why:

Rising of Keshav Nagar!

Obviously, the 'intro' of www.easternranges.com talks about the 'Rising of Keshav Nagar'!

'Rising of Keshav Nagar'

Digital walkthrough gives brief intro about 18 acre Eastern Ranges at Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Pune 411 036.

Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar Opens Booking!

Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar Front View

Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar Top View

Altai, Gilmour, & Zulia in Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar Mundhwa Pune

Eastern Ranges (www.easternranges.com) is divided into 3 parts - Altai, Gilmour, & Zulia! Since the website gives info only about 2 parts, i assume that, today - at the launch - Phadnis Properties is opening booking of only Altai & Gilmore.

As per the press release, this 1st phase of Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar has approx 350 Flats. Possession of this 1st phase is in only 20 months. Whereas, now a days, the projects of this size promise to give possession in 30 months!

In Altai & Gilmour at Eastern Ranges Keshav Nagar, you get a basic 2 BHK, 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flats and their value added version. For example, a 2 BHK & a 3 BHK Flat with a garden, a 3 BHK & a 4 BHK Flat with a room for your servant, a 3 BHK & a 4 BHK Garden Flat! And, of course, a Duplex Penthouse!!

Have a look at the floor plans of basic 2 BHK, 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flats:

1) A 2 BHK Flat - 762 sq.ft. Carpet Area + 145 sq.ft. Terrace
- Odd Floors / End - Altai - Eastern Ranges, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Pune:

- Even Floors / End - Gilmour - Eastern Ranges, Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Pune:

Eastern Ranges, Keshav Nagar, Gilmour, 4 BHK Flat, Even Floors, 1310 sq.ft. Carpet + 132 sq.ft. Terrace (Click the Plan to Enlarge)

1) I liked the carpet areas of the 2 BHK (762 sq.ft., 804 sq.ft.), 3 BHK (1,138 sq.ft.) & 4 BHK (1,310 sq.ft.) Flats in Eastern Ranges.

2) I liked the proportion of a Carpet Area and a Terrace in Eastern Ranges. Terraces are not 'spacious' - which offer less utility value to the home buyer but exploit more.

3) At this point of time, 'Living cum Dining' is 'in thing' in Pune real estate market. Because, it gives good living space and spacious look to a home. Good! The size of "Living cum Dining" in the 2 BHK (18' x 11'), 3 BHK (20' x 11') & 4 BHK (20' x 11') Flats in Eastern Ranges is really good. It gives a feeling of a 'premium property'!

4) Every housewife is going to fall in love of a kitchen (15' x 9' approx!) in a 2 BHK, 3 BHK & 4 BHK Flat in Eastern Ranges!

5) When the sizes of 'Living cum Dining' and Kitchen is good, certainly, bedrooms sizes are bound to be good!

Yes, conceptually, Eastern Ranges is a branded premium property! What say you?

On 20th April' 2008, IT Professionals Welfare Association Pune (ITPWAP) performed the symbolic ground breaking ceremony of their first group housing project called "IHP Sus" .

In an email informing about this "historic event" to all members Vinod Kamble, leader of the group, said:

For many of us we are consciously aware about the monetary value the project is going to add to our lives.

And many of us are sub-consciously aware that other than the monetary value the project has revolutionize the concept of IT Professional synergy.

For those of us in the core group its not sub-consciously but consciously the awareness is there.

The effort and energy shown by our volunteers, our core group members, (Mahavir, Birendra, Sumit, Parimal, Suresh, Priyank, Ankit, Aditya, Suraj) is commendable.

Certainly, the ground breaking ceremony was, indeed, a path breaking historic event in Pune real estate market!

Path Not Taken:

Sumit, a member of 3 failed initiative and now, core member of ITPWAP, has given inspiring details in his post, dated 08-19-2009, on Indian Real Estate Forum. He says:

Well in case of Aarohi the effort was started in Jan 2007.

It took us about 6 months to gather members and shortlist the builder.

After that we spent 3 months in getting the architectural drawings into decent shape and taking bookings for 166 specific units from members.

At this point we collected cheques of 15% payment to show commitment from members but did not hand them over to the builder.

After that the process of land accusation was initiated by the builder and getting the plans sanctioned. This was achieved in Dec 2008.

We began the construction in Jan 2009. During this time we lost about 25 bookings.

The progress has been steady and currently the third slab is being poured.

Aarohi at Sus: in the 1st week of September 2009:

Patience is the Essence of Success:

In his posts on Indian Real Estate Forum, Sumit has shared valuable insights about Aarohi. He says, "We had to be patient for 2 years to see the first brick being laid." In these 2 years, he learned that:

1. Budget for time for land acquisition and verification. Don't try to cut corners in this area.

2. Budget for plan sanction delays. This alone can take up to 2-3 months. might be more.

3. It pays to invest time in detailing out architectural drawings. We went threw more than 30 iterations.

4. Getting the project sanctioned from a Bank is another time consuming thing. It took us 5 months to get Aarohi sanctioned by SBI and HDFC. This process starts after the project is sanctioned. So you need to make budget for payments to builder during this time.

5. One more thing I learn from Aarohi: All the "Luxury Amenities" Don't cost more than 300-400 Rs/sq ft for which the builders charge up to a 1000 Rs/sq.ft.

6. The salable area calculation. This is a big fraud. If we calculate the way builders in Pune calculate the salable Area the Rate the initial buyers paid in Aarohi is not 1900/sqft. It is 1650/sq.ft.

7. You can get much better quality and specs at a very reasonable rate (about 30-50% cheaper). But there are drawbacks in terms of time taken for completion (Double) and managing the whole group (I saw 3 failures before a success). Even in Aarohi we expect the construction to take anywhere between 21 to 24 months though we had planned for standard 18 months.

8. This model also has a advantage of quality control by the buyers. To give you a idea till date we have conducted more than 8 core tests, 10 ultrasonic tests. A normal commercial building also does not have such a tight quality control. You can say that members are spending about 1Cr (2% of project cost) just to ensure quality.

9. The problems we are facing is the constant monitoring of the progress, participation by the members, handling occasional payment delays by the members. Delay in contribution towards quality expenses by the members, etc.

10. Sus: the location: pros and cons:

Cons:
1. Remoteness
2. Outside PMC

Pros:

1. Is surrounded by hills from 3 sides so will be a bit removed from disturbance of a highway.
2. Near Lavale gaon where the Symboisis knowledge park is coming up
3. Half a km from Vidya Valley school

11. About Tirth Developers: the builder:
The assurance about completion stems from the fact that the builder own 185 Acres of land in Sus gaon and plans to develop a township there. Being a first time builder he need this project to showcase and sell his township. Also the financial soundness of the builder is assured by the fact that he is not leveraged and has not picked up any loans till date.

Aarohi at Sus: according to Tirth Developers:

Recently, Prashant Gaikwad, very senior real estate professional joined Tirth Developers as Vice President, Marketing & Business Development. He posted many comments on my blogs giving information about Aarohi. Though comments were irrelevant, i did not reject because i saw the effort was to give information about some good real estate project.

One day, Prashant called me. When he told me that Aarohi is ITPWAP project and my old client Mr. Vijay Raundal is developing it, i told him that i want to write about Aarohi. However, there was no website, but Prashant send me the available data and arranged for the site visit. Have a look at the information Prashant has provided to me:

Aarohi Project is a flagship eco friendly residential project by TEIRTH DEVELOPERS AND SUYOJIT INFRASTRUCTURE Ltd, Pune. Located in lush green foot hill vicinity of Sus, Pune. Unanimously Aarohi is the most scenic project in Pune. Better still, it is completely unpolluted.

Aarohi is located barely 15 Kms from the Deccan Gymkhana and just 20 minutes drive. The last stretch, after the turnoff from Sus village, is a one kilometer which we are developing for comfortable and smooth drive to the project.

Unique feature of the project apart from eco friendly is that the scheme of @ 300 units comprising of Flats, Row Houses, and Twin Bungalows etc. is jointly executed by group of young IT professionals and the developer from Pune.

The IT group consists of professionals from different IT companies all over the world who have formed a community. The motive of so many like minded professionals from all together different community, caste, state, cultural background is that most of the individuals are posted or are required to travel frequently out of India, and hence they want a close bonding within all the families in one project for having an assurance in ones mind that some one will always present next door for extending a caring hand to their families and friends back home in India whenever they are out of city or even out of country.

The main motive of Aarohi is to make your loved ones living in India feel that you are genuinely looked after by their neighbor 24X365 days for their big and small needs of life, be it an emergency medical care for your dear ones or just a matter of being someone’s assured physical presence. Every one now a days is very well aware that in today’s hectic world that in big cities like Mumbai and now even in Pune, hardly any one knows more about the person living next door!

Aarohi is the project in which ultra modern building and latest site design techniques are incorporated to not only improve the quality and performance of your home, but simultaneously reduce stress on the environment. Process of during construction and after construction, focus is paid to safe construction, recycling, natural preservation, and efficient home design elements.

An eco friendly home is one that is ideally constructed with a quality design, and requires minimal maintenance. The overall impact of constructing to the environment is kept minimum resulting in residents remain healthy. In our heavily populated country where the population is on rise all the time, so are the demands for houses, shopping malls, hotels, commercial complexes etc. are on the rise. Hence is the need of the hour to go GREEN in housing too.

All the civil work executed and the construction material used will be as per Indian Standards of various specifications (ISO), total structure will be earthquake resistance. Project will be equipped with fire fighting equipments, invertors, solar water heaters, piped gas, garbage chutes, waste water treatment plant, rain water harvesting, ample lighting in common areas/amenity spaces, complete campus will be either concrete or green. Club house will consist of 2 tennis courts, basketball court, badminton court, and play area for children, party garden, and multipurpose room with cards table, dining facility, private theatre, fully equipped gym, table tennis & pool tables, squash court, adequate parking space for visitors. An office & warehouse space will be provided for the society management.

On top of all this the developer will be giving 10 Shopping units Free to the society which in turn will act as a permanent revenue generation source for the society and the funds will be utilized for society maintenance! Also the IT group has formed a Committee and in turn this committee has appointed a Full Time Team of Engineers for QUALITY CONTROL who are associated with the developer in actively monitoring the day to day working of the project.

Nandan Prospera Baner - Why should you visit this newly launched project in Pune real estate market?

2009-08-24T11:57:00.019+05:30

To know more about Nandan Prospera, please, visit www.nandanbuildcon.com

Nandan Prospera, near Sadanand Hotel, Baner Pune, was launched on last Saturday, 22nd August 2009. You can visit my "Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog" to read the news.

Since the launch ad was very attractive, while writing that blog, i thought that i should give some idea about the required budget for a 3 bhk flat in Nandan Prospera.

However, when i visited the site, understood the concept, had a look at all 4 sample flats, and found out about the future plans of Nandan Buildcon Pvt. Ltd., i realized that it's worth to visit Nandan Prospera even if you are not interested in a 3 bhk flat for 60 -70 lakhs.

Have a look at slide show of the photographs i took on Sunday and 3 reasons to visit Nandan Prospera Baner. To know more about the project, please, visit www.nandanbuildcon.com

Why should you visit Nandan Prospera Baner:

1) Passionate and committed builder:

First reason is simple and personal. As we always like to share, recommend and talk about the stuff we like with our friends, i wish you should visit the project done by the builder whom i admire most. I know Mr. Shamkant Kotkar, Chairman and Manging Director of Nandan Buildcon, promoters of Nandan Prospera Baner for last 10 years. I admire him for his passion for building better homes and his commitment to his property buyers.

On Sunday, when i visited Nandan Prospera Baner, i saw Shamkant Kotkar welcoming his old clients, personally supervising that visitors are looked after well. I am sure, you will like to buy a property from the builder who is personally accessible and responsible.

All over the site, in the persons and in the sample flats, Mr. Shamkant Kotkar's passion for creating good homes was clearly reflecting. In general, i observed that visitors were in appreciation mood. While asking questions, there was no distrust and the tone was less critical. I know well that you like to deal with a reliable builder, so i thought, if you visit Nandan Prospera you will be happy to find one.

2) Planning, performance and value for money:

Nandan Prospera is based on certain principals. At Nandan Prospera Baner, these principal are actually demonstrated. In the slid show, you can see that construction is at such a stage that you don't have to imagine, you can see it. I am sure, you prefer to see the actual flat than the over glamorized sample flat and get the idea of actual layout of the entire project. Irrespective of the budget and the property rate, we look for value for the money. By visiting Nandan Prospera, i am sure, you will be happy to find one builder who is trying his best.

3) Nandan Buildcon in Aundh, Baner, Wakad, Kothrud and Chakan in Pune:

Nandan Buildcon is well known in Kothrud and Aundh. You may know their Vatsalya Vihar in Aundh or Vatsalya Puram and Vatsalya Nagari in Kothrud. Starting with Nandan Prospera, Nandan is going to launch projects in Wakad, Chakan, Baner, Aundh road and of course, in Kothrud. These projects will be in different brackets of budgets. For example:
1) Wakad: Nandan Inspera: Township of 500 flats of 800 to 1100 sq.ft.
2) Chakan: Nandan 1: Township of 3,500 flats.
3) Aundh Road: Nandan Festiva: High budget scheme of 4,000 sq.ft. flats.
4) Kothrud: Nandan Exult and Vatsalya Nagari 2.
Point is, it is worth to visit Nandan Prospera even if you are not interested in it. Right? After visiting Nandan Propsera, please, share your views in the comments. Comments Policy

What's happening at Vilas Javdekar and Associates' Palash 2 and Palash 2i at Wakad near Hinjewadi, Pune?

2009-03-24T03:35:00.062+05:30

No EMI till possession if you give Advance Loan Disbursement (ADF)!

In July 2008 Vilas Javdekar and Associates launched their "Green Umbrella" offer for Palash 2.0. In September 2008 they launched compact flats in Palash 2i with the same offer.

On my blogs, Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Blog and Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog, we had "hot discussion" on this offer. Main objection to this offer was - "Is it safe to give Advance Loan Disbursement to the builder?" (Did you read my post "Donate your eyes and get Ray Ban for Free!"?)

Builders gimmicks to avoid price reduction!

Besides "Trust", property rate was also a major concern.

If you remember in March 2008, we had just started talking about "Pune Real Estate Slow Down".

Promoters and Builders Association of Pune (PBAP) has warned property buyers about impending rise in the property rates in Pune real estate market.

Mont Vert has just launched "compact homes at Seville in Wakad" and tried to break the "price barrier".

These marketing initiatives were called as "builders' gimmicks" to avoid price reduction and trick the Pune property buyer to book the flat.

These "exclusive offers" were nothing but a disappointment for the first time home buyer working in Hinjewadi who was eagerly expecting overly inflated property prices to come down.

RBI and Finance Ministry joins builders to tempt the property buyers!

However, we all know that "Green Umbrella" offer of Palash 2.0 and Palash 2i got a good response.

Many more builders in Wakad (compact flats at SuCasa!) and even in Hadapsar (Runwal Seagull!) tried this type of an offer, launched "compact homes" and it became a new trend in Pune real estate market.

Not only in Chakan (Sara City), even in Balewadi (Amit's Astonia) and Kharadi (Gera's Park View 1) "compact budget flats" were launched.

Global financial crises and RBI stimulated low home loan interest rates and tried to add some attraction to these affordable homes.

How Palash at Wakad is utilizing your ADF?

But what is happening at Palash 2 and Palash 2i who were among the first to start this "trend"?

Was it worth to take a risk of giving ADF to the builder?

Here are some photographs which show the progress of the construction at Vilas Javdekar and Associates' projects in Wakad.

In the present circumstances, nothing looks beautiful than on going construction work at site! Please, have a look and share your views in the comments. (Comments Policy)

Can a real estate investor offer "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" scheme to sell his flat or a row house and retire from depreciating Pune property market?

2009-03-13T05:12:00.001+05:30

Even one can insist on renting the property only if it comes with the buy tomorrow option!

While looking at newest "Rent Properties classifieds Pune" on Quikr, i found some interesting properties available for renting in Wakad, Baner, Balewadi, Bavdhan and on Paud Road in Kothrud. For example:

1) Five Garden / Wakad 4BHK Row House for Rent - Pune - Rent: Rs. 22,000/-

2) 3 BHK in Balewadi - Hinjewadi 10 min - Brand New on 7th Floor - Pune - Rent Rs. 15,000/-

3) 2 BHK new flat on rent in Bandhan, close to Chandni Chowk. - Pune - Rent Rs. 13,000/-

4) 2 BHK new flat on rent in Baner road. - Pune Rent - Rs. 11,000/-

5) rental 1 bhlk furnished in kothrud area - Pune - Rent Rs. 8,500/-

Dealing with global economic uncertainty and recession:

I look at Mont Vert's "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" as a solution to deal with job uncertainty and bust of booming real estate market in Pune. Now, considering the response Mont Vert has received, i am very much convinced that this can be a workable solution.

Solution not only for the builder but for the real estate investor who may not get an appreciation, a buyer and expected rent for his 2nd flat which was his major investment. Can he offer "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" to successfully en-cash his investment and retire from the property market, at least in the next 11 months?

In these tough times, instead of just renting and letting your hard earned money go down the drain, can you opt only for the flats which has "Buy Tomorrow" offer? And convert your rent into your down payment and own the same property in the next 11 months when you are little bit comfortable about paying EMI!

What about the property rate?

For "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" offer, generally pricing terms depend upon the trend in real estate market. For example, Donald Trump offered "locked in property price at today's property rate" for Trump Plaza because in November 2007, real estate prices were rising.

Now, we all agree that property rates in Pune are going to go down more in 2009. So both of you, real estate investor and the property buyer, can work out on a reasonable property rate and go for mutually agreed property rate or opt for Mont Vert's Rent Today Own Tomorrow style "property rate at the time of purchase" term.

Since, both of you are perfect gentlemen and don't belong to the builder community, you can be sure about "transparency", "fair price", "ethics" and guess how low property rates can go accurately. Right?

What is your take on renting today to own tomorrow solution?

Considering that offer comes form, not a builder but form a real estate investor, mostly IT professional like you, you may look at the "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" in a different perspective.

Do you think it's a good housing solution for the property buyer and a real estate investor to come out of this recession and uncertainty?

Particularly, when mostly many more builders may offer "Rent Today Own Tomorrow" scheme to reduce their inventory of unsold ready possession flats and your investment might depreciate more.

Proactive Mont Vert once again devices plan to deal with uncertain times – launches innovative program for home-buyers

2009-03-03T21:35:00.007+05:30

Press Release:

Mont Vert does it once again.

This time Mont Vert has come out with a new offer which they are confident will address the dilemma of all potential home buyers today - whether to buy a home today or to delay the buying decision.

In today’s uncertain economic conditions home-buyers are concerned about their job and business security. And unsure about real estate rates – whether they would fall further and if interest rates would go down any more.

“What we have done is, we have reassessed the market situation from the point of view of the buyers and carried out a survey amongst families whose monthly income is around Rs.50,000 and who is our target audience”, explains Manish Kaneria, Director, Mont Vert.

What this study revealed was indeed interesting and realistic.

A number of families who wanted to buy their own home were in fact staying in rented houses just because they thought that this is not the right time to buy an apartment, as they were not sure whether their jobs would be intact and also they could lose a substantial amount if real estate prices were to correct further.

The greater of the two uncertainties today is the fear of losing jobs, because of the global gloom all around and an air of extreme uncertainty.

These families have also realized that by paying rent they are losing the rent amount forever. It is an added expense for them in an already tough environment.

This is exactly what Mont Vert is looking to address with its new consumer friendly program.

Rent Today Own Tomorrow:

The program that Mont Vert is offering is that they will be having a certain number of apartments which will be ready for possession by the month of May / June ’09.

They would offer these apartments for rent to the potential buyers who are already staying on rent elsewhere.

But the difference is that the rent taken by Mont Vert can be converted into a down payment if they decide to buy the same apartment at any time during the agreement period of 11 months.

If for example, a person who has taken a Mont Vert apartment on rent decides to buy the apartment, say after seven months, then he will pay the prevailing market rate in that particular month.

This also addresses his hope that prices might fall in the near future.

“However”, says Jayant Kaneria, MD, Mont Vert, “the customer is under no obligation to buy the apartment from us at the end of 11 months. He can either choose to move out of the apartment or transfer the entire amount of rent paid by him as a down payment on behalf of a friend or relative who may be interested in buying the apartment”.

So this becomes a win-win situation for him.

‘Rent Today Own Tomorrow’ is the one more example Mont Vert is coming up with an innovative offer which addresses consumer needs.

One might recall that earlier they had launched a project in Wakad, to sell luxurious 2 BHK & 3 BHK apartments for a price tag of Rs.29 lacs and Rs.39 lacs respectively, when prevailing prices were much higher.

This was also done in response to customer feedback and the project was an instant hit, as Mont Vert booked a record number of over 250 apartments in just 3 days.

The program now being announced of Rent Today Own Tomorrow also addresses the need of the potential customer and converts a major expense into an asset and this too, at his/her terms and comfort levels.

Therefore, the hallmark of Mont Vert is to respond to customer needs especially in adverse market situations.

This has always resulted in starting a trend in favor of home buyers.

“At Mont Vert we have always believed in coming out with bold initiatives to benefit our customers even if it means that we have to tread on a path which has not been tried before”, sums up Manish Kaneria.

Is it too good to be true?

Where is the catch?

Why Mont Vert has come out with this offer?

Why the builder, Mont Vert, is joining the brigade of property buyers who advocate "Wait. Don't book for the next 6 months. Property rates are going to go down further!" and offers their brand new flats for free?

It is too good to be true! Isn't it?

Rent Today Own Tomorrow - convert your rent into down payment - revolutionary offer from Mont Vert

2009-03-02T05:48:00.010+05:30

Perfect housing solution in recessionary times when job insecurity is a major concern for all of us!

How does it work?

Mont Vert's website says:

Through this unique offer you may rent and move into a new, ready-possession Mont Vert apartment (through a regular rental agreement) with an option to buy the same apartment at any stage during the rental period.

On purchase, all the rent paid till date would be adjusted against the purchase price of the apartment.

What if you don't want to purchase your rented flat?

Transfer the paid rentals and deposit amount to a friend or relative!

Which means, it is not compulsory to buy Mont Vert's flat.

You are free to trade your "rental savings" with your friend or relative.

You can collect cash from him and use that amount to book a flat in any project, anywhere in the world!

Rent paid is no more lost forever!

No doubt, renting is better than paying unrealistic, irrational property rate for the flat which may not appreciate but mostly depreciate, at least in the next few years.

But considering the job insecurity, you can't let the rent go down the drain every month. By this offer, renting becomes automatically saving money for buying your own flat!

Better than marrying landlord's daughter!

I find Mont Vert's offer awesome! Other wise till now there was only one way to save your rent - marry your landlord's daughter! Which is, recession or no recession, just like jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Take my word.

What do you say? Do you have any other option of not only saving your rent but converting it into down payment of your flat? Please, share your ideas in the comments. (Comments Policy)

Amit Enterprises' Astonia at Balewadi- 2 bhk flat of 685 sq.ft. carpet area in 25 lakh - is this your dream home?

2009-03-01T21:26:00.013+05:30

Can you get more than this at the property rate of Rs. 2,300 per sq.ft.?

Amit Enterprises already has 2 residential projects in Balewadi. Amit's Sapphire Park and Amit's Emerald Park. In these projects property rate, you know, is above Rs. 3,200 per sq.ft. and few flats are still available for booking. Then why Amit launched Astonia in this budget? Is it because in 25 lakh you will buy anything in Balewadi?

1st, 3rd and 5th floor:

2nd, 4th, and 6th floor:

Layout Plan: with open parking for your Nano!

Perfect location:

1) Close proximity to Hinjewadi
2) Easy accessibility to Mumbai Pune Expressway

Are you getting value for your money?

On my post on launching of Astonia, on my Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog, My Anonymous says, "I think the fair price of flats in Balewadi should be around 1800 per sq ft. Anything more than that is expensive given the current economic situation."

What is your take on the property rate of Amit's Astonia? Is Rs. 2,300 per sq.ft. a fair property price? Different rates of Amit's projects shows that Amit Enterprises doesn't associate property rate with location. Do you still consider that location decides the rate?

Vidya Bala warns the property buyers about 'builders strategy' and suggests that if the property rate is not genuinely reduced, considering the current economic situation buyers should negotiate!

Please, share your views on Amit's Astonia in the comments. (Comments Policy)

Did you visit Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails Bungalow Township at Bhugaon?

2009-02-23T00:23:00.008+05:30

Middle class dream!

While we were busy in discussing the rational property rate of Blue Ridge Hinjewadi, on my "Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog", on 21st and 22nd February Paranjape Schemes officially opened the booking of their 2nd township Forest Trails at Bhugaon.

Launching of 140 acre bungalow township in this recession was a shock to those who were not aware about this upcoming attraction of Paranjape Schemes. But those who had visited their website www.pscl.in , at least ones in the last six months, knew about these 200 world class bungalows.

Yes, you are right, around 40 bungalows, costing above 1.25 croer, were already booked, before the project was launched. What may have happened in this 2 day event is any body's guess.

Unfortunately, I was not keeping well, so i couldn't visit Forest Trails. Compulsory rest at home was making me more restless. Advertising on Radio City was telling me that i am missing a big event. Event of feeling good and hopeful about better life.

However, my friend visited the event. His reactions and comments only made me more curious. He said "Forest Trails is a middle class dream!" When i asked him to explain, he said, "To understand this i have to visit the site. Who can say "no" to these bungalows?" When i asked him "Did you feel like booking?" He said, "Ravi, do you think i belong to middle class?"

What is your take on "Forest Trails"?

I have realized that i have become a hostage of over protective Doctor and a cynical friend. Only you can tell me the truth. Only you can free me from the gloom and doom of recession. Did you visit Paranjape Schemes' Forest Trails? Did you enjoy the idea of owning a bungalow? Please, share your experience in the comments. (Comments Policy)

Ekta Worldville, Hinjewadi phase 1 - the ultimate refuge for those IT professionals who are feeling sleepy because of over eating lunch

2008-11-15T03:05:00.037+05:30

Walk to Site Office:

When I reached Hinjewadi it was a lunch time.
So, i went to Ekta Worldville.
Kirti had a client with her.
Hoping she would finish him off in a few minutes, i took a chair.
Had a glass of water.
Browsed through the brochure.
Visited the sample flat.
Took some photographs.
When Kirti took her clients to watch the film, i joined them.
In the semi-dark room, i asked Kirti, "What's in the lunchbox?"
She gave me a chewing gum and said, "Lunch times are busy"
I could not see her face but her teeth were bright white.

What is your take on Ekta Worldville?

Did you enjoy visiting the sample flat of Ekta Worldville? How was 4D Reality Tour created by Fourth Dimension Solutions? Are you looking for the "Boutique Residences. Boutique Life."? Do you know anybody who has booked 1.5 bhk flat at Ekta Worldville? Please, share your views in the comments. (Please, read the comments policy.)

Paranjape Schemes' Crystal Garden on Baner-Pashan Link Road and the beginning of a new world, Blue Ridge at Hinjewadi!

2008-10-19T10:59:00.038+05:30

Pune Real Estate Jigsaw Puzzles:

I do not know why, but i was trying to connect a few things. May be because of habit. Bad habit! Do you know, I have compared two residential projects. Kumar Properties' Megapolis vs. Blue Ridge! Some times, i have quized myself. Is Supreme Pallacio an option or a competition to Gera's Regent Park? Whatever may be the conclusion, for sure, i had always enjoyed the exercise! But this time, when i connected few things, the conclusion was quite scary!

World Financial Crisis:

Before, i go ahead, i have to tell you what was at the back of my mind. Besides this blog, Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Blog, on residential projects near Hinjewadi, i have 1) Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog and 2) Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Investment Blog. For a while, on these blogs i was blogging more about Pune real estate slowdown and exclusive (and attractive !) offers but all of a sudden, world financial crisis, recession and depression became major issues.

Fear of Realty:

Not only me, all of us were more concerned with the fundamental issues about the economy. Most of the property buyers who called me on my mobile (91 98600 44110) did not want to talk about home loan interest rates or property prices. But they were asking tough questions like "Should i sell off my flat at Balewadi and move in the rented apartment?" or "Should i cancel the booking and wait for a few more months?" I do not mind, in fact, i enjoy being used as a sounding board, so many times we talk more than customary limit of 8 minutes!

Chasing An American Illusion!:

Out of the few things i was trying to connect, one is this type of conversation i had with the caller from New Jersey, USA. He wanted to talk about his booking at Paranjape Schemes' Crystal Garden on Baner Pashan link road. After three - four years, he may return to India and settle down in Pune, he said.
Since, he had so much time on his hand, i asked him, "why didn't you book a flat in Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge at Hinjewadi?"
"Your wife could have gone for shopping at 2 o'clock, watched the movie at 3 o'clock and you would have enjoyed kayaking!"
On this, for the first time, he started speaking in Marathi. He said, "I am pakka Punekar, from Kothrud and I do not believe in chasing American illusion."
"American illusion! What's this? I have only heard about 'American Dream'," I asked him. He tried to explain but i did not understand what exactly he was saying.

Anti-Americanism:

After the phone call, as i always do, i Googled 'American illusion'. What i saw on the first page of Google gave me some idea about Bush Administration, American ventures of greed and control, Wall Street and War Racket, how foreign students are scammed in US and how (in 1942!) Americans learned their lesson at Battan. However, it didn't give me any clue about the relationship between a 3 bhk flat at Crystal Garden on Pashan Baner link road, Blue Ridge Hinjewadi and American illusion. So, i just stopped bothering myself and said to myself 'nice to know one more Anti-American' and closed the topic.

Saving capitalism.....!

Today, for the first time, i visited the website of The Sunday Indian and read Arindam Chaudhuri's editorial "Saving capitalism… from the stupid capitalists!" In his editorial, Arindam claims that his three theories - ‘Happy Capitalism’, ‘Survival of the Weakest’ and ‘Trickle-Up theory' - can save the capitalism from the stupids of Wall Street. Though it sounds too poetic, I do not want to question whether Arindam's theories will be able to save capitalism or not because i have not not read his book “The Great Indian Dream”.

Illusion and Exploitation:

While explaining the reason of current crash in the US financial system, Arindam says, this disaster is not 'an incident in isolation' and at the same time, 'it is not a cyclical trend that would soon get mitigated with time'. After reading the article, my impression was, "creating American illusion and exploiting the weak economies" is a well-rehearsed and successful strategy of Wall Street to milk the economies of their profits! Besides the latest name of US, the Arindam lists include Asian Tigers - like Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea - along with Japan, and south American countries like Mexico and Argentina! All these economies were lured by the illusion created by Wall Street and exploited to such an extend that most of them took years to recover and many, like Japan, never recovered at all!

Indian Tragedy:

Like Arindam, i was not interested in theoretical discussion about good capitalism and bad capitalism. My interest was Pune real estate. Did the man from New Jersey mean that Blue Ridge is nothing more than American illusion? Then what about "Indian growth story", "Fastest growing economy in the world", "Beating China", "12% Growth Rate" "Foreign Direct Investment in Indian Real Estate" "Special Township Act and SEZ"? All these concepts were not more than just illusions to compel us to open the coffers of Indian economy to Wall Street Bosses? For me, it was difficult to accept that we all have been taken for a ride! But today when i see the falling sensex and the cash crunch, like every Indian, i wonder "So, where is the money?"

Living a Lie:

I do not want to regain my consciousness and face the reality. I do not want to accept that Pashan Baner link road in Pune Municipal Corporation is the reality. I do not want to give up the dream of becoming the world citizen without leaving Pune. I do not want to stop dreaming about changing the way i live. I want to keep on dreaming about going for kayaking!

What's your take on Indian Growth Story:

What do you think? Am i unreasonably pessimistic? Am i thinking irrationally and illogically? Did you ever think that, some day, we all are going to end up as victims of American illusion? Please, share your views in the comments. (Please, read the comments policy before you post!)

Now, SuCasa, at Wakad, also launches compact 2 bhk flats for 33 lakhs (approx) in it's 2nd phase!

2008-09-03T20:13:00.025+05:30

2 bhk flat at Wakad - 29 lakhs onwards:

It was Friday, May 16, 2008, Mont Vert opened the bookings of Seville and within 5 hours more than 50 flats were booked. Nobody expected this to happen. Because nobody thought that compact 2 bhk flats starting from Rs.29 lakhs could be the solution to Pune real estate slow down.

If you see my review of Seville, i was quite sarcastic about the hole affair. First, i did not like the fact that Mont Vert Homes was "entering" into low budget compact flats. Mont Vert should focus on it's niche of "up-market-quality-homes" because in the east side of Pune real estate market, particularly near Hinjewadi, there are very few builders who can build quality homes, i believed.

Second reason was the budget! Starting from 29 lakhs was not exactly "affordable" budget. Because, i knew for sure, majority IT professional had a budget in the range of 20 to 25 lakhs. This segment in the first place fueled the real estate boom, but was thrown out of Pune real estate market. If "Rs.29 lakh for 2 bhk flat" becomes the benchmark then, even in the slow down, it would be very difficult for this segment to get a flat in the developed area of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, i thought.

Topaz Park, Palash 2 and now even SuCasa!

Topaz Park, part of Park Street, size wise one of the big project at Wakad, has already managed to bring down the budget of it's compact flats. Now at Topaz Park 2 bhk flat fits in the budget of 29.9 lakhs and 3 bhk flat in 38.3 lakhs.

Under the "The Green Umbrella Offer", Vilas Javdekar and Associates successfully sold out all spacious 2 bhk flats at Palash 2.0 by offering discount in the form of 'No EMI till possession if you give Advance Loan disbursement'. Now, Palash at Wakad has given up the idea of "un-boxed" living and already soft launched 'traditional' compact 2 bhk flats which will fit in the budget of 36 lakhs.!

Now, in the 2nd phase, SuCasa, a residential project at Wakad, which had townhouses with private gardens and penthouses with terraces, is also launching compact 2 bhk flats which, including every thing, fit in the budget of 33 lakhs (approx)!

These compact flats at SuCasa, a project by Kalarch Developers, have the same carpet area but because of the sizes of the terraces you get flats in 3 saleable areas. 905 sq.ft. saleable area on 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th floor. And Salesable area 924 and 957 sq.ft. on 2nd, 4th and 6th floor. Property rate for 2nd phase of SuCasa is Rs.3,200 per sq.ft. Parking - 1.5 lakh. MSEB charges 75,000. Stamp duty would be around 1.25 - 1.3 lakhs as per the size of the flat. Plus add 30,000 for the registration. Here are the floor plans of SuCasa. Click the plan to enlarge. Have a look!

Ravi, compare compact 2 bhk flats at Wakad!

Who is Ashish Yadav, the property price negotiator and deep discount dealmaker?

2008-08-29T23:01:00.000+05:30

"After i posted the blog - Pune Real Estate Market's Most Wanted, all are asking me, 'Who is Ashish Yadav?'

Home buyers in Pune real estate market want his phone number to find out whether could they join his group and get a discounted property rates from the builders.

Pune real estate developers want to know exactly how many assured bookings they can expect from him?"
Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Market News Blog:

Kunal Sancheti Associates's Venezia at Baner continues with the special introductory offer of Rs.3,400 per sq.ft.

2008-08-26T07:27:00.021+05:30

Property rate: big secret!

On 26th July '08 a joint development of Kunal Group and Sancheti Associates' "Venezia at Baner" was launched. Full page English ad, in Marathi newspaper Sakal, talked about everything but the property rate. Obviously, i called and called but could not talk to the sales executive. It means, i was not the only one who was trying to find out the booking rate.

Ultimately, when i could talk, the salesman did not disclose the rate on the phone. I should visit the site to understand the pricing, he insisted.

Special introductory offer:

My desire to have "an aura of happiness to the canvas of my life" (please, do not ask me what it means!) motivated me to visit Venezia...a symbol of my colorful dreams...which has come into existence at Baner, opposite Pashankar Auto, on Mumbai Bangalore highway.

When i saw the glass door of the attached toilet in the sample flat, i became very serious. I went into the flash back when watching my spouse taking a bath used to be my colorful dream and i started to unfold the canvas of my life...I had enough time because the salesman was busy in answering the phone calls and inviting the callers to the site to find out the real estate rates of 2 bhk, 2.5 bhk and 3 bhk luxurious apartments!

"Tell me!" the salesman said to me. Before i could open my mouth, he took the next call. "Tell me!" he said to me when he finished that call. "Shut your phone off" i wanted to say but i said, "You tell me. I am here to hear a special introductory offer!"

"Yes! This special introductory offer is only for today and tomorrow!! What are you looking for?" No, i did not tell him exactly what i was looking for...glass walls!

Special introductory offer for a week!

Next weekend, as expected, i saw the ad of Venezia at Baner in the newspaper. I called the site. Phone was not busy. Salesman took the call before the 4th ring. I told him about my site visit on the day of the launch and the special introductory offer. The salesman, not the earlier "tell me" salesman, but the new salesman said the introductory offer is extended for a week! On this week end i can book at the same rate. He invited me to visit the site with my Mrs!

At that point i realized that, i was avoiding to ask my wife about her colorful dreams!

Reduced number of specifications!

Yesterday, on August 25th, nearly after a month, i called the "tell me" salesman on his mobile. Because when i called the site office of "Venezia at Baner," a lady salesperson took my call. She told me that the property rate is the same. I can refer to the quotation i got when i visited the site on the day of the launch.

"Tell me" salesman said, "Yes, the booking rate is the same." "Rs. 3,400 per sq.ft.?" i asked. He said, "Yes! But a few specifications are changed! We have reduced the number of specifications to keep the introductory property rate!" "For example?" i asked. He said, "Modular kitchen and..... "

But i disconnected the phone. I was disappointed. I was 100 % sure, Kunal Sancheti Associates must have canceled the glass door of the toilet!

Please, tell me about the negotiations and discounts!

Tell me, in the comments, did not made a mistake by disconnecting the phone? He, the salesman of "Venezia at Baner," would have offered me a discount if i had visited the site again? What is your experience? Actually, i would like to know, at what property rate bookings are happening in Baner - Balewadi. Please, let me know in the comments.

Palash 2 and Topaz Park were not the only projects to offer the special scheme in Aundh Annex area - Wakad, Pimple Saudagar and Rahatani. There must be quite a few in Balewadi Baner. I am going to blog these offers. So, if you have not subscribed, please, subscribe for free to my Ravi Karandeekar's Pune Real Estate Blog.

At Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge, Hinjewadi, few flats are available for booking!

2008-07-14T13:18:00.066+05:30

Be a world citizen!:

Looks like that quite a few people dropped the idea of becoming a world citizen. Today around 25 flats are available for booking at Blue Ridge, Hinjewadi. A township by flagship Infrastructure (P) Ltd. A Paranjape Schemes' Venture.

Property Rate:

At launch, on Saturday, October 27, 2007, booking rate of Blue Ridge was Rs. 3,200. Toady, property rate is Rs. 3,500 per sq.ft. for 1st to 7th floor. After that there is Rs. 20 floor rise per floor up to 20th floor. Real estate rate for 21st to 25th floor is Rs. 4,200 per sq.ft.

All types of flats:

2 bhk, 3 bhk, 4 bhk and 5 bhk, all types of flats are available. In tower 2 (2 flats), 5 (3 flats), 6 (4 flats), 9 and 11(9 flats each) and 14. Quantity is not much but looks like that you have some choice.

2 bhk and 3 bhk flats in Tower 2, 5 and 6:

In the Tower 2, 5 and 6, there are 4 flats on each floor. 2 flats each of 2 bhk ( Carpet Area 1,036 sq.ft. ) and 3 bhk ( Carpet Area. 1,325 sq.ft. ). Saleable area of 2 bhk is 1335 sq.ft. and 3 bhk is 1730 sq.ft. If you visit the website you can see the floor plans and the saleable area statement.

But there is nothing much to see in a 2 bhk or 3 bhk flat. Plans are typical. When i saw the floor plans for the first time, i was disappointed. I was looking at 1975 model of Fiat car, which is used as a taxi in Mumbai, when i was expecting at least Maruti 800. Paranjape Schemes has served "Limited Rice Plate" of Suvarnarekha Dining Hall in 40 piece Bone China set!

2 bhk and 3 bhk Flats in Tower 9 and 11:

In tower 9 and 11, there are 5 flats on each floor. Flat no 1, 4 and 5 are 3 bhk flats. No 2 and 3 are 2 bhk Flats. Generally, we prefer the corner flat but i liked the Flat no.2 more, which is in the middle. It's small (or compact / cozy). Carpet area, as per the brochure, is only 862 sq.ft. And saleable area, as per the website, is 1,141 sq.ft. I liked the layout of the flat. Because of the layout this flat will look like a 'home'. Position of the bedrooms are at two opposite sides of the flat and living, dinning and kitchen is in the middle. This will give some privacy for both bedrooms.

Personally, i do not like the layout of the flat in which private area and public area is divided into two parts. Like you see in the flat number 3, 4, and 5. First reason is, this type of a flat looks like "living quarters" not a 'home'.

Second reason is, in this type of a flat ( flat no 3, 4 and 5 ), all bedrooms are side by side, they share common walls. You do not get any privacy in these bedrooms. Me and my wife are very vocal in the bed and our son sleeps light. We do not want to disturb him, sleeping in the next bedroom. If we had been fond of sleeping in the air conditioned bedroom then, may be, i would not have mind common walls. But, we do not like an A/C in the bedroom. Those of you who enjoy sleeping in the 'sound proof air conditioned bedrooms', i am sure, must be rethinking about it after watching the details of unfortunate Arushi Murder Case of Noida, India.

However, according to the brochure, carpet area of Flat no.3 is 1060 sq.ft. and as per the website saleable area of this 2 bhk flat is 1,361 sq.ft. Whereas, 1,810 is the saleable area of 3 bhk flats, Flat no. 4 and 5, whose carpet area, as per the brochure, is 1,393.

Flat no. 1 is the most unique design i have ever seen. My son, for sure, will like it. In this flat, his girl friends do not have to face us even for couple of minutes before going to his bedroom. Straight away he can take them to his bedroom because we will be sitting in the living room which is not at the entrance of the flat but at the far end. Carpet area of this unique flat is 1,451, as per the brochure. Website says saleable area is 1,814 sq.ft.

Terms of Payment:

Booking amount is Rs. 1 lakh. Within 10 days from the booking you have to pay 10% of the agreement value. Agreement will be done in a couple of months from now. At the time of the agreement, depending upon your flat you will have to pay around 3 to 5 lakhs.

Compare Megapolis and Blue Ridge:

Someone has told me in the comments to compare Kumar Properties' Megapolis and Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge. Sure, i would like to, only if i could get the details. Which are little difficult to get.

Here whatever comments i have made are my professional expectations. I believe in certain fundamental features should be there in any floor plan. At the same time, there should be enough scope for the home maker's life style in the planning.

I would like to know what you expect in the floor plan. In the comments, please, share your views on these flats or tell us about any plan you liked.

Review of Mont Vert Seville, Wakad - 2 and 3 BHK luxurious flats at an affordable price starting from Rs. 29 lakhs

2008-05-17T06:10:00.015+05:30

It is all about not cutting corners, just the price:

For a while, Mont Vert is trying to brand it's flats as a "Resort Homes". Even they had appointed Remo Fernandes, a Pioneer and Exponent of Indian Pop, Rock, Socio-Political Protest, Fusion, Bollywood, Chill-out and Meditative Music in Goa, as a celebrity brand ambassador for their "Mont Vert Tropez" at Wakad.

Mont Vert has stopped using the brand ambassador, which was rated 5/10 on Top Celebrity Branded Real Estate Projects in India, but not the concept of "Resort Homes" and "a resort like ambiance complete with water bodies, exotic landscaping".

Mont Vert claims to develop same in "Mont Vert Seville". Good thing is you can visit Mont Vert Tropez and check! The layout of the project, for me, does not look like a resort. It's typical.

Mont Vert Seville Wakad Layout Plan

If you discount the resort type of a ambiance, then what is left is - designer tiles, stylish glass shower cubicle with a massage jet, French windows! I think they realized this. And to look property price attractive, added 25 years free membership to Club 29, an exclusive lifestyle Club.

Amenities and Specifications:

Mont Vert does not believe in Specifications. They have a list of Amenities - Internal Amenities and External Amenities. It's usual list. I do not say this. Mont Vert has said shower cubicle and massage jet are the only unique specifications in the flat.

But remember, the French Windows are in the dinning and kitchen only. They are for better view and ventilation, that's good. But what about the resort like ambiance? I was expecting French Windows in Living and Bedrooms too. If something like this comes to your mind, do what i did. See the elevation of Mont Vert Seville!

PCMC and Banks' Approvals:

Most impressive feature of the floor plans is - PCMC' Plan approval and work commencement certificate number: BP / Wakad / 20 / 08 Dated 25/02/2008

It also tell us the vision of the builder Mr. Jayant Kaneria. Considering plan approval and work commencement certificate 'process' takes a month or two, these plans were designed in the second half of 2007. It means an year ago,in 2007, Mont Vert knew what would be the property rates in May 2008. And since 2007, they were trying their best to break the upcoming price barrier in Pune real estate market! This is very impressive. Flying French Kisses to you sir!

Mont Vert (Seville) shatters real estate price barrier

Project is approved by Private Sector Banks. ICICI, HDFC and Kotak Mahindra. APF Numbers are given on the website.

It is all about just the price:

What is not there is the property rate and the quotation of the flat. Mr. Mont Vert, isn't property rate your selling point? Look what Kumar Properties' Megapolis has done. Real estate price is there on the website.

Are Resort Homes like this?

Mont Vert Seville Floor Plan

Sorry, i haven't been to any resort so i don't have any idea about resort homes. But i know, some thinking is involved in the planning. This thinking is the concept of the project.But at Mont Vert Seville, sorry, i didn't find any. Of course, i do not mean to say there isn't any concept. It must be there. But i was looking for something more than fitting maximum flats in the FSI on hand. If you could find even a glimpse of "strategic planning and smart techniques", please let me know in the comments.

I think, now, i should let you choose your flat. Mont Vert Seville has 12 story 8 buildings. I couldn't count exact number of flats. No wonder, number of buildings, flats or size of the project is not mentioned on the website. Actually, there is no exact description of the project. What is described on the website is not there in the planning!

Mont Vert Seville known that Wakad is 3 Kms from Hinjewadi IT Park. But do they know, i wonder, what IT stands for? I have heard, Mont Vert is weak in abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms!

If you like this review, please, "EMAIL THIS" to your 10 friends and subscribe to RSS of this blog. I am sure, you have lot to say about the property rates and Mont Vert Seville. Come on, we all are ears!

From Blue Ridge to Megapolis:

This is one of the many questions on my posts on Kumar Properties' Megapolis at Hinjewadi on "Pune real estate market news blog". I am sure, he is not the only one. Some of you must be in two minds too. Fortunately, this time you have time to think twice or even thrice. Megapolis or Wakad / Baner - Balewadi? What do you prefer and afford? Please, tell me in the comments. You can think it over once again, no problem.

There was no time to think when Paranjape Schemes' Blue Ridge was launched in the first phase of Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park. Who took time to think are still thinking, 'Should i book a flat in Megapolis or wait for the 2nd phase of Blue Ridge?'

Zoo or Jungle?

Yes, there are lot of questions about Megapolis. I also have one,"Would you like to live in a gated community?" As a born Punekar, i do not want to live in a township totally cutoff from Pune city. It could be ultramodern and luxurious but i do not enjoy life in the zoo. I am born free. What about you?

Come on, let us discuss all questions. I have compiled a list of questions about Megapolis on my Pune real estate investment blog. Please, visit the blog and if you can answer, please, share your info and views in the comments. Who knows, whether we will get time when Magarpatta's Nanded City is launched on Sinhagad Road!
