A short visit to Shagun at Kiwale, near Ravet

Real estate projects on old Mumbai Pune Highway:

On new year's eve, i went to Ozone Park. Weekend bungalow plots' scheme near Kanhe Phata, Talegaon,which my friends are developing. While driving on old Mumbai Pune Highway, i managed to convince my friends to let me visit at least one project. My friends agreed but for me it was quite tough to select 1 out of 3 interesting real estate projects in Pune real estate market.

1) Sidhivinayak Group's Vision Woods which offers 1 BHK Flat for Rs. 6.66 lakh onwards and 2 BHK Flats for Rs. 8.88 lakh onwards at Talegaon.

2) Namrata Group's Flora City where you can get a Vertical Bungalow, a Twin Bungalow and a Row House!

3) SS Landmarks' Shagun at Kiwale, a joint venture of Shewani Properties and Shroff Group.

Kiwale - an extension of Ravet, Pradhikaran:

I chose Shagun at Kiwale!

First, I tried to convince my friend Abhay Firake by comparing Kiwale with Bavdhan. I told him that after the launch of Celestial City, Kiwale has become an extension of Ravet. Just like Bavdhan is an extension of Kothrud. Abhay liked the idea. But he said that, considering the development has just started at Ravet, we can visit Kiwale on next New Year's Eve!

1 BHK Garden Flats & Row Houses!

My second attempt was to show him the website of Shagun. So i fired my laptop and opened www.shagunworld.com

Abhay liked the Hot Air Balloon on the home page. ( He is planning to have one at Ozone Park! ) So, i told him that Shagun at Kiwale has almost ready possession 1 bhk garden flats and row houses.

Appreciation of a Real Estate Investor:

I told Abhay Firake about the "attractive" property rates at Shagun. I tried to convince Abhay that since he is developing Ozone Park, a weekend bungalow plots' scheme, he should show his admiration for a property buyer of Shagun at Kiwale.

Hinjewadi - near or far away?

I tried to convince Abhay that you need to think out of box, you should be little adventurous and need a vision to pay Rs. 2,350 per sq.ft. for a flat or Rs. 2,550 for a row house, just 10 minutes away from Hinjewadi but at an unconventional location in Dehu Road Cantonment, near Lekha Farms on old Mumbai Pune Highway.

Investing in Shagun at Kiwale:

At last, Abhay realized the importance of showing respect for the "Spirit of Adventure". We stopped at Shagun at Kiwale. Visited almost ready for possession 1 BHK, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats ( 4 - 5 months ) and Row Houses ( Diwali! ). It was a short and the last site visit of 2009. If you have a look at these photographs, you will agree with Abhay that it was sweet of me to convince him to visit Shagun at Kiwale!

Property Prices at Shagun at Kiwale:

When i visited Shagun, Mr. Siddhu, sales in charge, 91 98901 89984 was not at site. But Mr. Harish Singh, site engineer, 91 95611 17775 showed us the sample flat. It was furnished and quite well done. I couldn't talk to him much but i took his photograph, collected the brochure and property rates and budgets. Have a look:

1) 1 BHK Garden Flat - 457 sq.ft. carpet + 1,157 garden - Rs. 24,67,750 with covered parking

2) 2 BHK Flat - 800 sq.ft. carpet - Rs. 25,46,800 with covered parking

3) 3 BHK Flat - 1,083 sq.ft. carpet - Rs. 37,53,850 with covered parking

4) 2 BHK & 3 BHK Garden Flats are also available!

5) 3 BHK Row House - Rs. 54,86,450 - Rs. 65,11,550!

Visit to Ravet to buy a plot of land

Can you guess the current land prices in Ravet?

Visiting Ravet to buy a plot of land is going to become one of the memorable experiences, in this life.

I was visiting Ravet for the second time. With the same builder, i remember, i had visited Ravet 4 years ago. My builder friend remembered the exact day, date and time of our last visit, which i didn't. "I have seen the new Ravet bridge only from the window of a airplane," the builder said. So, we decided to go by Aundh - Dange Chowk - Ravet road and return by Expressway.

At Ravet gaon, builder's reliable agent was waiting for us. The agent insisted that first we should drive up to the Expressway to see the ongoing infrastructure work and familiarize ourselves with the development plan of Ravet. Indeed, this was a unique experience. "We are in PCMC!," our agent said proudly.

Mr. Agent was talking like a real estate salesman! Remember?, When you visit a site office, first we tell you about the layout plan of the township! Just like that! However, like a real estate salesman at a site office, he didn't have to ask us, "What is your requirement? 2 BHK or a 3 BHK Flat?". Because, the builder had already told him that minimum plot size should be 5 acres.

Driving up and down, we came back to Ravet village where we had met for the first time. Of course, Mr. Agent took us to Celestial City. Told us about the "exact" number of bookings. How Rama Group and Pharande Spaces, builders of Celestial City, have increased the property rates by 100 rupees, from the launch property price of Rs. 2,400 to the current Rs. 2,500 per sq.ft. And predicted that, in no time, the property rates in Ravet would rise to the level of Wakad and Balewadi!

"This is not done! Property rates in Ravet shouldn't go up!!," the builder said.

For a moment, i didn't believe what i was hearing. A builder was not happy about the rising property prices!

"Launching property rate Rs.2,400 per sq.ft. in Ravet, is nothing but killing the competition. Now, by increasing the property prices they are eliminating the competitor!!," the builder said. "How can a small builder like me survive in this market?," he asked the agent.

"It always happens like this. Isn't it? Big builders take a risk, launch a project in the new area, establish the property rate, and small builders profit from it!," the agent said.

"Those days are over! We have burned ourselves enough," the builder said. "Show me your plots and talk about the rates," he ordered the nervous agent.

View Ravet, PCMC - New Found Land in a larger map

The agent showed us one plot on the main road and took us towards the railway line. He was trying to point out the water, power, drainage lines which were already at place but the builder cut him short and told him to show the boundaries of the plot.

"What's that on the other side of the railway line?," i asked the agent.

"It's Defense land. Depot. No development. Going to remain green like this!," he said.

Looking around, i realized that last time we had been exactly at this point and seen the same plot!

"How much?," the builder asked.

"Oh Sh...! We didn't visit the site of the upcoming MCA Pune International Cricket Centre !! Our Mahalunge Stadium going to be better than their Melbourne Stadium!!!," the agent said.

"I construct flats for IT people. They need big LCD TV. Not a stadium. Talk about the land price," the builder said.

"We are in PCNTDA. Here TDR and premiums are not expensive like PMC. So, for the plot on the main road rate is Rs.1,100 sq.ft. and for this plot of 5 acres by the railway line, the farmer is asking Rs.750 per sq.ft. But, in the meeting he will come down," the agent said.

"He must. Payment terms?," the builder asked.

"Usual. Down payment!," the agent said.

"Is this usual? Are you dealing with me for the first time?," the builder got upset.

"Let us sit and talk. Tell me when can i arrange the meeting?," the agent said in a calm voice. The builder told the agent to call him next day to fix an appointment and took his leave.

Till we reached the Expressway, we didn't talk much. Parking the car on the service road, the builder said, "Let us go up on the flyover and have a look at the Expressway and the feeder road to Ravet." I liked the idea. I had never stopped at this point.

"Isn't Ravet better location than Wakad or Baner for Mumbaikars?" the builder asked me.

"Yes, Ravet, next real estate investment destination in Pune!," i said as if i was reading a slogan. "But no use! You knew it long time ago. Didn't we see the same plot, last time? 4 years ago?," i asked the builder.

"Yes! Do you remember how much he was asking at that point of time?," the builder asked me.

"Yes, very well. Rs. 100 per sq.ft. Payment in installments," i said.

"Right. But you have to add interest to it!," the builder said.

"Should i?," i asked him.

"Yes, of course!," builder said with a smile.

Celestial City Ravet, 25 acres township of 1 BHK, 2 BHK & 3 BHK Flats, opens booking of 1st phase

26/11.
Last year on this day, a few terrorists brought India's financial nerve center to it's knees, injuring the nation's psyche permanently.
On the same day, 26/11, this year,
Rama Group and Pharande Spaces launch their new residential real estate project at the property rate of Rs. 2,400 per sq.ft. at Ravet in Pune real estate market.
Is there any coincidence?

Everything is inside. Even terrace!

Before you shout "Rs. 2,400 per sq.ft. property rate in Ravet?", Rama Group and Pharande Spaces tell you, "Because in Celestial City ( www.celestialcity.in ) in Ravet everything is inside! Not only Lounge, Mall, Sports and Multiplex but the terrace of your flat is also considered 100% inside the carpet area of your flat!"

Are you a builder or a terrorist?

Because, you are not aware about the recent tricks of the builders in Pune, you shout, "100% Terrace? Are you a builder or a terrorist? Why don't you shoot straight?"

"Builders. Kind builders of Pune! Look, we have loaded only 30% on the (carpet area + terrace)!," the builder says.

"30% loading for a building of Parking + 8 Floors in Ravet? Wasn't it only 25%? Wasn't terrace charged at 50%? Are you a builder or a terrorist turned finance minister?,"now, you start screaming about the builder politician nexus!

Dance Bar Properties in Pune:

If you are an outgoing type of a person who knows how things are charged in the trendy joints, you will not waste your time in counting rupees and sq.feet You know well that you have to pay 3 times more for a drink or a snack because the joint offers entertainment. You will only focus on major attractions. You will try to find out "inside" means exactly where?

"Lounge inside! Where is it in the 1st phase?"

"Mall inside! Where is it in the 1st phase?"

"Sports inside! Where is it in the 1st phase?"

"Multiplex inside! Where is it in the 1st phase?"

"But, show me, Where is all this in the 1st phase?"

Click to enlarge!

"Only Terrace is "Inside"! Yes, i can see it completely considered inside the carpet area! What about the rest?"

Click to enlarge!

"Look at the complete picture! Celestial City is an "integrated township" in 4 parts!"

Click to enlarge!

"What about my second honeymoon? Are you planning to complete the construction of all proposed 4 parts of Celestial City by that time?"

You are very much convinced that Celestial City is like your family! Though your parents, brothers and sisters stay in different parts of the world, you are all one family.

You also start admiring the builder for not over exaggerating! Though, the railway line is very close, Celestial City is not claiming that Akurdi railway station is "inside".

Though, Pune Mumbai Expressway is so near, Celestial City is not claiming that Khandala Hill Station is "inside".

Though, Chakan air port would be nearer to Celestial City than any project in Wakad, the builder is not claiming that New International Air Port is "inside"!

You have only one doubt. That radio commercial was talking about celebrating "second honeymoon"! So, you ask the builder, "What about my second honeymoon? Would you be able to complete the project by that time?"

"Sure, we will! Generally, people go after retirement. When are you planning your second honeymoon? ," the builder asks you.

"Certainly, i will let you know. At this point of time, i have to make arrangements for my first honeymoon!," you tell him while trying to calculate travel time from Ravet to Hinjewadi. "Except Hinjewadi, why go out?," you ask yourself!

Pimpri Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) invites bids for the construction of a new subway near Akurdi railway station

An official in the engineering department of PCNTDA said the subway will have two 7.5 metre wide carriageways for vehicles. The total width of the subway is 15 metres.

He said there will be two lanes on both sides for vehicles which will enable more vehicles to use the subway. Light commercial vehicles (LCVs), cars, rickshaws and two-wheelers can use the subway to cross the railway tracks. Heavy vehicles, however, will not be allowed to use the subway.

The project will be completed within 18 months from the date of issue of work order.

For Nano Homes Ravet in Pune - visit www.nanohomes.co.in

Which Nano Homes?

Are you searching Google for Tata Housing's Shubh Griha Nano Homes at Boisar near Mumbai or Rama Group and Kohinoor Group's joint venture "nano homes" near D.Y. Patil College, Pradhikaran at Ravet in Pune?

If you are searching for Nano Homes Ravet in Pune, i have a good news for you. Now, you can visit www.nanohomes.co.in to know more about the popular project in Pune real estate market.

Website of Nano Homes Ravet in Pune:

The website has an "intro". Which has above visual which you will see on the cover of the brochure too. And the perspective of the building which you may have seen in the full page ad in Sakal.

Our "Nano Homes Ravet in Pune" is actually a long single building, divided into 13 wings, called as Building A to Building M. These 13 wings (buildings) have 7 floors and 364 flats. Building A, the first building, has few shops. Obviously, in the first phase, last 5 buildings, from Building I to Building M, are open for bookings.

On Saturday, 25th April 2009, Nono Homes Ravet in Pune was launched. On the day of the launch, according to the news in Sakal, around 400 property buyers visited the site and 40 flats were booked(!).

A home for every one!

On the home page you will find corporate philosophy of the promoters of Nano Homes! You know there is no point in reading it. You are visiting this website ( www.nanohomes.co.in ) because of the small budget of the 1 bhk and 2 bhk flat in Nano Homes Ravet in Pune.

# Carpet area in sq.ft.
# Cost includes 1) Basic cost 2) Other charges 3) Covered Car Park.
# Stamp duty and registration charges extra.

1 bhk flat: K & L Buildings

1) Terrace with living:
390 sq.ft. - Rs. 14,42,000

2) Terrace with bedroom:
390 sq.ft. - Rs. 14,60,000

2 bhk flat: I, J & M Buildings
1) 496 sq.ft. - Rs. 17,39,000

2) 586 sq.ft. - Rs. 19,82,000

About property rates the launch ad had said that "Never seen before rates at PCMC and Pradhikaran". Property rates of Nano Homes at Ravet in Pune are comparable only with the highest rates of Pradhikaran, it means that property rates are not small. Only flats are small.

So without wasting time, you can click the links and visit the pages which give information about Amenities, Specification, Floor plans and Location of Nano Homes Ravet.

You can fill up the Enquiry Form but instead of that i will suggest you to visit the Contact page and call 91 96650 44666 / 91 96658 44666 to know more about Nano Homes, Pradhikaran, near D. Y. Patil College, Ravet in Pune!

What is your take on the usefulness of the websites?

When Nano Homes Ravet in Pune was launched the website was not ready. Now, when the website is uploaded what i see is "printed brochure on the net!".

Many builders in Pune believe that "The website is not for the information but only to attract the property buyers to the site." Result is, attractive but less informative website!

What is your take on this? Do you expect detail information of the project when you visit the real estate website? Please, share your views in the comments. (Comments Policy)

As per the full page ad in today's Sakal, "nano homes", joint venture of Kohinoor Group and Rama Group, will have 364, "smartly" planned 1 bhk and 2 bhk terrace flats.

Sample flat is ready.

Ad has the floor plans but without saleable or carpet areas! Even a casual look at the floor plan tells you that terrace size is too big and the carpet area must be too less! When i called the number given in the ad, very reluctantly, he gave me the saleable areas:
551 sq.ft. and 564 sq.ft. of 1 bhk terrace flat
695 sq.ft. and 807 sq.ft. of 2bhk terrace flat
very "smartly planned"!
To know the carpet areas, you have to visit the site!

nano homes bank on driving time!

Besides convenient location - 10 minutes from Hinjewadi IT park, 4 minutes from Dange Chowk and 3 minutes from Akurdi railway station, contemporary facilities and unbelievably affordable property price, the ad insists on, an already commenced, a four lane road J.N.N.U.R.M. project. Because of this road from Pune station, you can reach Ravet in a span of just 12 minutes!

Location:

Sr. No. 208, near D.Y. Patil College Akurdi, opp Ravet Bridge, Ravet, Pune 412 101.
