No Birdbrains

Why did SKYi Songbirds Bhugaon receive huge response?:

Why did SKYi Songbirds Bhugaon receive huge response?

SKYi Songbirds Bhugaon received huge response. Double than the expectations of the builder. Nearly 400 flats are booked. I was told. When I visited the site on November 13.

What does this prove?

1) Pune property buyers like singing birds.

2) There is no slow down in Pune real estate market.

3) Pune property buyers are not birdbrains. They understand what is good & what is not.

4) Compared to property prices at Kumar Millenium & Pethkar Projects' Samrajya on Paud Road in Kothrud, one can buy a home in Songbirds for a song.

I don't know why SKYi Songbirds got such a huge response. In fact, I don't care.

I saw the ad announcing 'sample homes are ready'. But I didn't feel like visiting Songbirds.

Because, just a day before, I had experienced miserable life of Nilima & Swapnil at Sangria Towers, Megapolis, Hinjewadi Phase 3.

So, my concern is execution - delivery - construction quality, possession, & service.
Not an attractive concept developed by an architect.
My focus is builder's ability & performance.
I am interested in what property buyer gets.
Not what builder wishes to develop.

I avoided visiting the site. But, I visited www.songbirds.in - the website of SKYi Songbirds. I read everything. Which I was told not once but twice - during my last two visits. Still, I enjoyed every word. Yet, I didn't feel like visiting.

And, you know what? I didn't mind not visiting Songbirds!

But, then why did I think of Songbirds when I saw golden morning sun-rays in my living?

Why did I think of Songbirds when cool breeze from the window behind my table made me shiver?

Why did I think of Songbirds when I was shaving?

Not only that! Suddenly, there were birds all around me. Why are you shooting birds instead of buildings? My wife asked me. Then I realized that I need to visit Songbirds. Though, it was an end of the cloudy day.

It was better to face the question - Why did SKYi Songbirds Bhugaon receive huge response? - than meeting a bat at night.

  3. Hi Ravi,

    I hope before writing the articles you have checking the validity of builders claim of selling 400 flats. In my opinion many pune builders are notorius in making statements which cannot be substantiated.I have my own little experiences about this.

    You as a reponsible blogger need not accept such statements at face value. Otherwise this may create wrong picture in minds of prospective buyers and diretly help builders to hike the rates further.

    1. You are right, Virendra! I have not cross checked the number of bookings. Because it's not possible.

  10. Dear Sir,
    I think its time to revisit this blog and change the title. We bought at flat at songbirds and we feel like -"Bird brains" now.
    My husband and I invested in a 2BHK at songbirds Tower3 last august in their early bird offers.
    Originally, Towers1-4 were supposed to be 1BHK/Studio flats. But given the demand for 2BHK and the response they received, they introduced 2BHK's in tower 3 and 4.
    Now ever since August2014, when we paid the booking amount, its been a terrible terrible goose chase. They have been delaying the registration of the flat from the original Oct2014 to Dec2014 to Feb2015 to now April 2015.
    We have seriously given up hope and are fed up of following up.
    Very disappointed with the way Skyi has been handling the situation. They do not respond well and dodge Q's when we call. Even after repeated visits to the site, its a blame game where the sales rep blames the management for delay and the management is never around to answer our queries.
    Thouroughly disappointed with the builders and honestly, given that we are young investors from modest families, now believe more than ever to trust your parents when they say-"real estate is a sham, be careful".

    Is there anyway we can take legal action against Skyi? would love to get intouch with you to discuss this further.

  11. Dear Sir,
    I have been an active reader of your blog and your input on various projects in and around Pune has been really helpful specially for me since am outside India.
    Recently I have been receiving calls fro SKYi developers on a new launch of project in Bhugaon close to Manas lake development,is this a valid project.
    Is it normal in Pune to launch projects without land sanctioning for the development or any authority approvals ,was surprised when I heard that,but would like to hear from you .
    Also reading the post by Ankita Bantwal I was not confident if I should invest with this builder or not,would appreciate your thoughts on this.
    Regards

  12. Raju & Amita Sahasrabudhe - We are inverstors from Mumbai & invested in Song Birds Phase I project. We were extremely happy about project espcially because of well trained staff & professional way of working by each team member. However we are shocked & extremely disappointed becuase of finishing done by Song Bird Team. Especially external paint given to all buidling looks like cement & in fact because of this dull colour buildings does not appear to be new. Management version that because of this colour investor will benefit in terms of low maintenance etc.- this may or may not be true but you will agree that any one who has invested so much would like to get new and very fresh look apartment. We strongly suggest to have external paint which bright and would give fresh look to the project. We are afraid that in case if this issue is not addressed then it may have adverse impact on other projects of Eneergia

  13. It is hopeless project. Pleeease do not go for it. They are NOT following completion dates. Work progress is tremendously slow. Also quality of tiles and other construction is very poor. They have another project at MANAS lake.
    Request not to buy in any of their projects.

      You don't deserve it.
