Review of Pebbles II by Abhinav Group & Rainbow Housing, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats, behind DSK Toyota Showroom, at Bavdhan Budruk, Pune 411021:
Surprise! I liked Pebbles II!!
Though it's at Bavdhan! That too at Bavdhan Budurk!!
You know what? Last weekend, the day of launch, when I visited the site, I was not enthusiastic about Pebbles II.
In fact, I visited the site only because of you & the builders of Pebbles II.
I know how much you all love to read about every project at Bavdhan. So, I had no option but to write about Pebbles II. Ravi Karandeekar, it's your job. Visit and write about Pebbles II. I told myself.
In fact, when I left home, for a moment, I was in two minds. Why shouldn't I first visit Pride Valencia at Baner - which was also launched on the same day - & then, visit Pebbles II at Bavdhan?
Accepting my lack of enthusiasm about Pebbles II, I reminded myself about an encounter with one of the developers of the project. He was angry with me.
Why were you so negative about Pebbles on the RamNadi at Bavdhan? He had asked me. I had told him that I don't have any personal grudge against him. The reason was RamNadi. Not you. Or your project.
OK. Pebbles II, he told me, is located behind DSK Toyota Showroom. That's better, I said and accepted his invitation. And, even blogged the pre-launch offer!
It means, now, to prove that your opinion is always based on principal, Ravi Karandeekar, you must visit the site of Pebbles II. I told myself and went to Bavdhan Budruk.
At the end of my visit, lack of enthusiasum was replaced by 'over-enthusiasm' about Pebbles II! So, I decided to write only after I had cooled down. Gained my balance. And am sure about what I say.
I liked Pebbles II. A township of around 500 units of 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats, located behind DSK Toyota Showroom on Mumbai Bangalore Highway, at Bavdhan Budruk, Pune 411 021.
Why I liked Pebbles II at Bavdhan Budruk?
1) Pebbles II has an approach road. Not only one - which is there at this point of time. But one more, upcoming approach road from DSK Toyata Showroom. I was told.
Besides the proper approach road, you can cross Mumbai Bangalore Highway, even now. Soon, there will be subway too.
2) Approximate 14 acres plot of Pebbles II is large enough to create good neighborhood. North side of the plot of Pebbles II has defense land with green cover. Whereas south side will have commercial / amenity space. Busy Mumbai Bangalore Highway is at a safe distance to the east. Even today, the plot of Pebbles II looks tempting.
3) Six 12 story residential buildings in Pebbles II are very well laid out with ample open space which will have lot of fruit tree plantation and sports & recreational amenities. Including the temple. Because of the podium, there would be enough number of car parks.
4) Quality specifications of Pebbles II, include modular kitchen with hob & chimney. S. S. railings with toughened glass in the terrace. Glass partition in the master bathroom. These standard specifications are actually fitted in the sample flat of Pebbles II. Plus, there are some digital specifications which will be provided at an extra cost.
5) I liked the planning of Pebbles II Bavdhan. Instead of usual living cum dining, Pebbles II has kitchen cum dining layout. This layout, I believe, will enrich your family life.
2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Pebbles II come in 2 sizes. Medium & Large. Carpet area of a medium 2 BHK Flat is 804 sq.ft. Whereas the carpet area of a large 2 BHK Flat is 896. Carpet areas of medium & large 3 BHK Flats are 1042 & 1188 sq.ft. Which are enough for a small family.
Of course, these carpet areas include the attached terrace to living or dining. Which is of a moderate size. 7'9" x 7' to 8' x 8'. Large 3 BHK Flat - 1188 Carpet - has a 2nd terrace - attached to the 14' x 12' master bedroom!
Designed by Abhikalpan Architects & Planners, my favorite, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats in Pebbles II have optimum efficient space which will create 'feeling of goodness' in your home.
You can experience this 'feeling of goodness' in the sample flat of Pebbles II, today!
Ms. Pranali Shende has demonstrated unusual sensitivity and care in this sample flat. Which will instantly connect you with it. Instead of observing the objects - fittings, fixtures & furniture - you start living in it. And start feeling good.
6) The Pebbles II has a floor lobby! There are 4 units on each floor with 2 lifts. Of course, there is a connecting passage between the two wings which offers 2nd staircase to each wing. Typical builder friendly cost effective design of Abhikalpan Architects which you may seen in some other projects too. At Pebbles II, this connecting passage , at least on paper, doesn't evade privacy of the other flats.
7) A moment ago, when I was going to write about the property prices at Pebbles II, I received a call from Yavatmal. For his second son in USA, a father wanted to book a flat at Pebbles II. The father said,"They are asking 5,100 per sq.ft. for a garden facing flat! Is it worth?"
"Yes! Worth for people like you - who are from Jalgaon, Yavatmal & Nagpur!!," I said.
"Why?," the father asked.
"Because in your 'limited' budget - of 60 to 90 Lakh (!) - you can get an emotional satisfaction of living near Kothrud and can fulfill your childhood fantasy of living in Pune!," I said.
Look at the property prices at Pebbles II. Since these builders can count money in your pocket and read your mind, they have priced their 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats right. After all, property price is worth only when you can afford it. Right?(!)
However, the builders of Pebbles II have demonstrated sensitivity while positioning their project. In the advertising and promotional material of Pebbles II, they have used Shazahn Padamsee. Whom young Ranbirs like to kiss and middle aged Devgns like to marry!
So, point is Pebbles II Bavdhan, is an object of desire for all. However, only those who have a budget of 60 to 75 lakh for a 2 BHK Flat and 77 to 99 for a 3 BHK Flat can have it.
Now, tell me, what would you like to do? Kiss or marry?
Whatever!
For me, Pebbles II means, Bavdhan at its Best!

Hi Ravi,
ReplyDeleteI like "Property is worth people are ready to pay for it"
I was looking for a 3BHK All inclusive within 50 lakh but call anyone they say -- Look for 2bhk.
Why they do not make projects for Mango IT people who spent weekdays/weeknights in office and weekends in searching property.
Even new projects in far flung areas like Wagholi/Undri are costing more than 3200psqf.
Any relief for us ?
True Ravi,
ReplyDeleteI visited the site last weekend, as I entered the sales office it made me feel that I had come to a different world. The sample flat connected to the lifestyle desired by most of the "IT sector" people. the design made me imagine my family in the property. the sample flat had all the sizes and deliverables mentioned and explained which added to the confidence
thanks
Yes. I agree with you.
DeleteYesterday I watched on Saam TV an interview of one Money Investment Consultant. According to him, if one has had already one home, then buying the second home (for investment purpose) is foolishness. (Stupid Investors! - Ravi's terminology). He says that overall the property prices are high. You pay tremendous money by taking loan saying that real estate is an attractive investment option and income-tax exemption is added benefit. But today the situation is the money you pay with interest for almost life-time period (up to retirement in most of the cases)is huge huge amount. If you compare the price appreciation and the money you pay for that home, you will soon realize that you are certainly at great loss. So for your entire life you work and sweat for 1. Builder and, 2. Finance provider/Bank.
ReplyDeleteIt is just an illusion and false pride to have a feeling (of prestige) that I have 2 flats...3 flats...and so on...the life is much more than it My friends!....Be a smart investor! and not Stupid one!
How is drinking water supplied at this site?
ReplyDeletei liked the project and will visit it.
ReplyDeleteCan we look for property in pitrupaksha , specially resale flats?
can anyone guide me?
I visited site on the launch day and decided to book the flat. Amenities are very good. Specifications are great!
ReplyDeleteOnly 2 concerns.. crossing the highway is a nightmare. heard that there is a plan to construct underpass right at the junction of Crystal Honda.. not sure when! Another issue could be drinking water availability.
Dear Girish,
Delete1) Underpass will be there, at last.
2) Those who drink water buy a home in an integrated township. Not in any fringe village.
3) Bavdhan Budruk Pune 411 021 - once a week water supply!
Thanks for your inputs and a great review!
DeleteMy experience on the launch day was soo good that I couldn't resist booking flat. I resisted in the past for issues like water, remote place etc and have repented. I hope that 2 years down the line (possession time), things will be better.. atleast 3 days in a week of water :-)..
Thanks Ravi. You made my day. I actually called you few days back to discuss Pebbles 2 (before official launch) and you told me you don't like the builder but can speak more only after your visit. Somehow I went with my instincts and booked a 3 BHK in pre-launch. Needless to say I was happy with things presented there. Saw you on the official launch day and since then was eagerly waiting for the review. Although I did have a fear it would be -ve. Reading this review was really a sweet surprise. You provided the icing on my cake ;)..Thanks not only for the good review but also for the invaluable service you are providing thru this blog. Helped me immensely during my house hunt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments, Ravi!
DeleteNow, the turn is yours.
Share your experiences.
Invite me for a cup of tea in your new flat at Pebbles 2.
Please.
Sure..Dec 2014 they say and you will get the invite if that happens!!
DeleteI will definitely share the experiences here.
How has the process gone so far for u? Any issues tht come up after/during possession? Thnx
DeleteHi Ravi, Although the specifications are good, don't you think 5300(current price)is too much for Bavdhan Budruk? Also. In general what is your outlook on the current property prices? Small flats in far flung areas cost 50 lacs...
ReplyDeleteHello Jojo!
Delete1) Demand bifurcation of 5300.
2) Property prices are related to paying capacity of the buyers.
3) Credit goes to submissive buyers.
Hi Ravi,
ReplyDeleteAhy updates on this project? Current rates? Availability? Work status?
Thanks.
I just booked a flat at Pebbles 2, and so its good to read such a glowing review from you here :) I know many other projects and builders are not all that lucky!
ReplyDeleteI shall post more comments based on the progress and my interactions with the builder...Keep up the good work Ravi :)
Hi Siddhartha, Can you please share you experience..current price etc. I am planning to book 3 BHK here after reading Ravi's favorable comments about the project..Thnaks to you and Ravi also for giving clear picture.

ReplyDeleteprice is 5600 psf for garden facing, and 5400 psf for non garden facing
ReplyDeleteHi Ravi ..
ReplyDeleteI am working in US and will be coming back to India after 3-4 years. I have visited many properties near Kothrud and Bavdhan. Kothrud looks too much .. 1.85 cr for 3 BHK. But i liked the property at Welworth Tinseltown, Bavdhan, The rate i am getting is 5600. If you have already visited that site will you please share your experience or any feedbacks on the site ?
hello Ravi,
ReplyDeleteNeed your guidance before booking flat in pebbles-2
I am currently staying at kothrud, near eklavya college (2bhk), i want to buy 3bhk but cant afford the same in kothrud.
My son is studying in Abhinav vidyalay hence i dont want to look for properties far away from kothrud. Could you please suggest in this scenarion moving to pebbles-2 from kothrud is a wise option?
I am also looking to buy 2 BHK there .
ReplyDeleteBut they are not providing modular kitchens except in Wing A and B.
Does anybody have idea ?
Please share.
I asked the ques on site visit too. they said people are asking for unfurnished kitchens so that they can design their own. that's why they stopped giving.
DeleteHii any updates that u can share after few yrs on this property? Esp the underpass n water issue?! As first time buyers connection to the rest of the city n water r primary issues during decision making. Thnx
ReplyDeleteHi Ravi, Can you please help me with regards to water issues in pebbles 2.
ReplyDeleteBefore buying home in Pebbles II check - where you will get your parking.
ReplyDeleteI have booked a flat in D building of Pebbles II but I got my parking between building B & C which is about 500 to 600 meters away from Building D. My parking lot is not below my building.
This is going to be big problem for those who will buy flats in Building E & F.
Hi Nitin,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your booking .even i am planning to buy a 2bhk there.what is the total all inclusive package you got.This will help me negotiate with them.
Thanks
Hi Pramod
DeleteI am also planning to buy a flat in Pebbles 2. How much per sq ft rate you get there.
Thanks
