Deepak Goradia: 'LifeStyle-Plus' Homes Transform Wadala Skyline

Deepak Goradia - Vice Chairman And Managing Director Of Dosti Realty

Home buyers these days are extremely aware about all the options that are available to them in the market. Because of this, their purchase decision is ultimately based on a combination of what is known as 'lifestyle-plus' factors. A classic example of this is Dosti Acres, New Wadala, which was a dream that started in 2002-2003, with the concept of creating better lifestyle options for home buyers. Effectively, Dosti Realty created New Wadala with this project. Over the years, many families have made it home and now it is set to be home for many more with its latest offering - Dosti Ambrosia.

Nestled in the 18-acre township of Dosti Acres, Dosti Ambrosia offers buyers 'ready to move in' homes within the existing social infrastructure. Besides this, residents of the Dosti Ambrosia tower are also entitled to the privilege of exclusive amenities and facilities within the tower, some of which include a rooftop swimming pool, podium garden with jogging track, yoga room, and kids play areas. So you don't have to look through brochures and walk throughs to figure out how the apartment will look - just walk in, and find out for yourself.

The project's external facade and interiors are an architectural delight created by Hafeez Contractor. The grand entrance lobby, 40,000 square feet of podium gardens and rooftop swimming pool at the 38th level are the highlights of the project. The expansive 360 degree view from the terrace also underlines the easy connectivity that the project offers. The Eastern Freeway is a short ride away, the monorail station is close by, academic institutions, medical care facilities, retail and shopping options are within proximity, as is closeness to localities like Five Gardens, which enhances the project's premium status.

The project has also recently received its Occupation Certificate - reportedly, the first among on-going projects in Wadala to have done so. From that perspective, it offers a win-win scenario for home seekers. "The receipt of the Occupation Certificate for Dosti Ambrosia is a milestone that Dosti Realty wished to celebrate, so it has opened up just 31 apartments for the festive period of Gudi Padwa to Akshaya Tritiya offering a sweetener in the form of a financial advantage for serious home seekers. Within 20 days, this proposition has been lapped up by the market and we have sold around 20 flats," says Deepak Goradia, Chairman, Dosti Realty.

Since 2002, property prices in this region have increased manifold from around Rs 2,800/sq ft to Rs 28,000/sq ft in 2016. With Wadala set to receive a great makeover in the next few years by the MMRDA, this location is likely to become an extension of BKC and further enhance its growth potential. Coupled with infrastructural developments in the pipeline, Wadala will become a viable purchase option for both end users as well as investors.

Deepak Goradia: RealtyTrend II - Riding The Affordable Luxury Wave

Deepak Goradia Vice Chairman and Managing Director of Dosti Realty

The Millennial, while wanting a luxurious lifestyle, wants it with minimal waste and maximum efficiency - getting the most bang for his or her buck. Today, builders are facing buyers as young as 25, possibly a young double-income couple with ready access to credit. They look not just to invest in one home to reside in, but they’re then likely to look out for a 2nd home as an investment. They research hard, are tech-savvy, well-informed about prevalent market situations andhousing trends, are aware of their bargaining power and know how to exercise it. Builders have had to learn to flex and accommodate the needs of this savvy set, and have altered their offerings to cater to the fluid requirements of the millennial buyer.
Today, you can shop around for configurations like 1.5 and 2.5 BHKs, or find compact 1BHKs in 400 to 450 sq. ft. closer to your desired locality, and most hearteningly, builders are accommodating of a degree of customisation that just wasn’t available to buyers earlier. Each apartment was a cookie-cutter version of the one beside it/below it in the building. Not any more, says Gupta, Home buyers are no longer content with the pre-designed homes being offered by developers. They want more flexibility and control over how their apartments will eventually look. In order to allow home buyers to customize their apartments, developers are offering homes where buyers can select their own layout, floors, kitchen and several other aspects.Builders in the mid-range segment are also expected today to be aware of, and provide for, lifestyle and environmental amenities like security systems, water recycling units, rain-water harvesting, solar-heaters, high-end bath fittings, club-houses, etc.
What’s more we’ve seen the creation of whole townships and infrastructure built around the projects that come up, leading to new neighbourhoods sporting supermarkets, schools, parks, banks, clinics and/or hospitals in the peripheries of Tier I, II and even Tier III cities. Deepak Goradia, Vice Chairman and MD, Dosti Realty Ltd endorses this view, “The emergence of the new segment, mid-end housing segment, has extended the growth of luxury projects and increased buyer’s interest to invest in such projects. These projects are generally large integrated townships having lot of open spaces with social infrastructure in place like schools, hospitals, hotels, retail malls etc., all within easy reach for the residents.”
Finally, affordable housing might be seen by builders as a stop-gap to tide over the presently sluggish real estate scenario, and they may be biding time with offerings in the space till the market picks up and they can focus once more on ultra-high-end offerings for the price-agnostic HNI buyer/investor, but that would be a mistake. India’s growth story will see the need for focussed development of more offerings in the mid-range, and LIG housing, for quite some time to come, if it is to meet the government-backed goals of “Housing for All by 2020”. For now anyhow, the millennial buyer is having his day in the sun, and would do well to ride the wave of quality offerings in the affordable luxury home space while it lasts.
