Coming Soon! Rohan Builders' Bavdhan project!!

Bavdhan, an extension of Kothrud:

Yes. It's a fact. Rohan Builders hasn't yet launched their Bavdhan project. But, now, in a month's time, Rohan will, mostly, launch. If, in a couple of weeks, third time revised floor plans are approved by the authority.

Now, Rohan's project in Bavdhan will have only two building. Basement + stilt + 11 stories buildings will face each other, keeping lots of distance in between for a garden and amenities.

Rohan has dropped the idea of a 1 BHK Flat. Only mid size 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats will be offered in Bavdhan project. Here 2 BHK Flat would have a saleable area around 950 sq.ft. and 3 BHK Flat would be around 1300 sq.ft.

Certainly, now, new and revised property rates of Rohan Builders' project would be above Rs. 3,100 per sq.ft. So, property price of a 2 BHK Flat would be around Rs. 33 - 35 lakhs and Rs. 43 - 45 lakhs of a 3 BHK Flat.

At site, in Bavdhan, Rohan has already started digging the foundation of the two buildings. However, Rohan is not going to make a new sample flat, as per the new revised floor plan. They are going to use the already constructed sample flat, made as per the old and now discarded floor plan of a cozy 2 BHK Flat.

After the launch, my inside source said, if property buyer raises any objection about the property rates and floor plans, he will be requested to lock himself in this sample flat. After spending a few minutes inside this flat, reading Rohan Builders' world famous Price Protection Scheme for more than 100 times, their research has proved that, you would be very much convinced about Rohan Builders' offer! Have a look at this sample flat, which, i am sure, you will never visit!

Rohan Builders' upcoming project in Bavdhan - Can you guess the property rate?

Rohan Rasa_Leela on Ramnadi, Bavdhan:

The rasa lila takes place one night when the gopis of Vrindavan, upon hearing the sound of Krishna's flute, sneak away from their households and families to the forest to dance with Krishna throughout the night.....Wikipedia

When i visited the site of Rohan Builders' upcoming project at Bavdhan and saw the site office with sample flat, i realized that now at any day i can here the news: "Launching.... .."

Oh! What would be the name of this Rohan project?

"No Kamwali Bai Homes " would be the tag line.

I asked but nobody at the site had any idea.

I was almost going to stretch my imagination, but in an instant, i saw huge crowd gathered at the site. All looked like devotees in some kind of trance. Completely disconnected from the surrounding reality....Happy to pay Rs. 2,800 per sq.ft.!

Yes! This is...Rohan Rasa_Leela!! Because, this can ever happen only in Rohan Builders' project. Isn't it?

Rohan Builders' upcoming project of cozy 1 bhk, 2 bhk and 2.5 bhk flats at Bavdhan Is there anybody who doesn't know about it?

Too many and too less!

No news. But, for sure, big problem!

Rohan Builders' project will have only 120 flats. In 5 buildings of 6 stories.

In any part of Pune, in any Rohan project, 120 flats is a very small number. In Kothrud annex, at Bavdhan Khurd, 120 flats are too less.

Add to it the budget of the flats. At the property rate of Rs. 2,500 per sq.ft. when you find out the sizes of the flats, 1 bhk flat of 552 sq.ft., 2 bhk flat of 781 sq.ft. and 2.5 bhk flat of 996 sq.ft., you don't bother to use your calculator.

In this part of Pune, you don't ask "Is this "saleable area"?" or "What's the carpet area?" Because, most of the flats on Paud road, in Kothrud, Karve Nagar and Warje are in these sizes only.

"Oh! You mean to say the flat i am renting for last 2years is a "Cozy Flat!," says Mr. Property Buyer. "But this one has a lift! How wonderful!!" says Ms. Property Buyer and they enter their name in the waiting list at Rohan's office!

Costs and Rates?

You may feel that i am very much excited about the launch. But actually, i am not. Looking at the construction of the office and mock up flat at Rohan Builders' upcoming Bavdhan site, i became more nervous.

Rohan's new project is always launched with an event and a creative advertising campaign. What is going to happen this time? Is Rohan going to save advertising cost by booking the project only on the basis of the pre-launch response and on the sample flat at site?

I called Ms. Pooja, marketing manager of Rohan Builders. Ms. Pooja said, "We are not accepting money. Only building waiting list. Project will be launched after getting all sanctions!"

"Cozy", "Compact", "Nano" or...

That's good news. It means, there will be some event, new concept, new creative campaign! What would it be? I started thinking. "Plus Homes" was for Rohan Nilay. "No Neighbors" was for Rohan Tarang. "Ventilation" was for Rohan Leher. What would be the advertising theme for "Cozy Homes at Bavdhan".

No "water" for sure! Why? First reason is Pinnacle Group has used Ramnadi for Pinnacle Brook Side, just on the other side of the river. Second reason, Aquaphobia! Fear of Water. Rohan Mithila at VimanNagar was the right project to talk about water. But no, they didn't use it. What would it be? I was thinking.

Yes, "compact" and "cozy" have become old labels. Mont Vert used "compact" for Seville and Topaz Park in Park Street has cozy homes. Now a days "Nano Homes" is the most popular term. No, it's not creative to use "Nano" label. Rohan will not use it. This is not Pradhikaran and Ravet. This is Bavdhan Kothrud annex.

Yes! I got it!! Rohan will call these as "No Kamwali Bai Homes"! Yes, Kamwali Bai, most feared person in every home in Kothrud.

These Rohan Homes are so compact, you wont need a maid for housekeeping. Together you can manage this home on your own. It's as easy as making a bed and as exciting as sharing a bed. Share zadu-pocha. Cleaning the floor!

As per the tradition, Rohan will incorporate "No Kamwali Bai Home" concept in their floor plans and save the space of dry balcony. In the specification Rohan will add "double tub stainless steel sink" and call them "Do It Yourself Homes".

You can do a lot more than sleep together! Do dishes!!

After Plus Homes, Eco Homes and Smart Homes, Rohan presents one more revolutionary concept, "D.I.Y. Homes!"

Good! Now, I know something about Rohan Builders' upcoming project at Bavdhan which nobody in Pune knows!!

Rohan Builders cuts property rates of Leher and Mithila by Rs. 600 per sq. ft. and 'agrees' to reduce your booking rate in case of future reduction!

Could Rohan Builders' Price Protection Scheme motivate you to book a flat in Rohan Mithila at the reduced property rate of Rs. 3,500 per sq.ft. and in Rohan Leher at Rs. 2,900 per sq.ft.?

Property rates in Pune real estate market are going to go down further!:

With this offer Rohan Builders, most renowned builder in Pune, accepts that property rates in Pune are going to hit the bottom very soon.

But you don't have to wait for that to happen.

There is no need to postpone booking a flat in Rohan Leher and Roahn Mithila.

Because with "Price Protection Scheme", Rohan Builders are adding a clause in your agreement which gives you a guaranty that by default the reduced rate will be applicable to you too!

Just like the reduction of 600 rupees has become applicable to the old property buyers who had booked at Rs. 3,500 per sq.ft. in Rohan Leher and at Rs. 4,150 per sq.ft. in Rohan Mithila; by default, without asking, automatically!

What about the property rate of Rohan Tarang at Wakad?

No! The property rate, Rs. 2, 800 per sq.ft., of Roahn Tarang at Wakad, is not reduced and the "Price Protection Scheme" is not applicable to it. Because Rohan Builders claim that Rohan Tarang is ready for possession (in a couple of months!)!

However, one of the property buyers, who has booked the flat when Rohan Tarang was launched, 3 years ago and going to take a possession, after a delay of almost 1 year, said,"Considering the market, Rs.2,800 is too much. It should be less!!"

When i asked him at what rate he booked, he said, "at Rs. 2,300 per sq.ft."

"Wasn't Rs.2,300 too much at that point of time in Wakad?," i asked him.

He said, "Yes, it was! This only proves that Rohan can easily reduce the property rate of Tarang!"

Why not cut the rate more than offer Property Price Protection?

"When you are expecting property rates to go down further, instead of waiting for that to happen, why not reduce the property rates today itself?," i asked to Mr. Mohan Mehta, marketing manager of Rohan Builders.

"Further reduction at this point of time may affect the quality of the construction. Rohan Builders, you know, never compromise on quality!" Mr. Mehta gave smart answer to my dumb question. "Rate cuts are from our profit margins. We have reduced our profit margins. If our construction cost goes down further, we will, certainly, announce more cuts in the property rates," Mr. Mehta added.

"Go and get your booking rate reduced! Good for you and your builder!," Rohan Builders

For me, Rohan Builders' Price Protection Scheme means, for sure, days of "Pune Builders don't see any cuts in the property rates" or "Pune realty rates won't drop any further" or "Not rock bottom for Pune property buyers" are over!

Rohan Builders also confirms that, now, as a property buyer, it's your fundamental right to demand for a rate cut of your flat if your project is under construction.

In fact, Rohan Builders tells you that, it's your duty to inform your builder that you are ready for the rate cut and you are happy to free him to reduce the rate of his ongoing project, get the enough booking and complete the project as early as he can.

When Rohan Builders thinks that it is essential to reduce the property rates to survive in the current economic conditions, I am sure, most of the builders in Pune will be happy to cut the property rates.

First, because builders in Pune know well that delay means loss in the profit.

Second, though PBAP is an official association of builders in Pune, when it comes to doing business they follow Rohan Builders. For example, it was Rohan Builders who introduced the concept of 3 side open flat when they launched Rohan Garima. It was Rohan Builders who introduced the concepts of "smart homes - digital homes", "eco homes", "plus homes" in Pune. It was Rohan Builders who launched first high value project in Pune - 1 Modibaug. It was Rohan Builders who made "penalty for the delayed possession", a clause in the agreement. Today, every good builder is following Rohan Builders and trying to incorporate these features in their projects!

However, you can understand, Rohan Builders can't tell other builders in Pune to reduce the booking rate of the under construction project. But you can!

Are you going to jump or sit on the fence?

What is your take on Rohan Builders' Price Protection Scheme for Rohan Mithila and Rohan Leher?

Is this type of a protection and home loans at 8% or lower interest rate, enough for you to stop worrying about property rates going down in Pune real estate market and start booking in the projects which are under construction?

Are you happy with this or you expect something more? Please, share your views in the comments. (Comments Policy)
