Serviced apartments by Regaliaa Realty

by Paul Joseph June 25, 2010

Regaliaa Realty, a Chennai-based property developer with focus on luxury villas and residential apartments, is gearing up to make Homcourt, its serviced apartments offering a multi-city brand. Started two years ago in Chennai with just 11 serviced apartments, Regaliaa has now moved to Hyderabad by opening up a 27 unit serviced apartment at the upmarket Jubilee Hills area. “We have just entered the Hyderabad market. Along with this, we will be adding five more units to our existing Chennai facility to take the total number of serviced apartments in our kitty to 43,” said D Sudhakara Reddy, CMD, Regaliaa Realty. But, it seems just the beginning. “Over the next two years, we will add another 100 serviced apartments by expanding our presence to other cities such as Bangalore, Coimbatore and Pune. The proposed expansion will entail a capital outlay of Rs 15 crore,” Reddy added. Serviced apartments segment has witnessed a steady growth with increase in demand in the past few years, especially with the rise in the number of expatriate professionals now residing across various Indian cities. In addition to this, a steady rise in the number of domestic leisure travellers, too, has added to the growth, even as the growing IT/ITeS sector has contributed its might to this segment. Instead of owning its own facility, Regaliaa prefers to join hands with landowners, who can invest in creating new facilities. Homcourt then takes over the property on lease and does the interiors as per international specifications to meet the requirements of clients. “In addition to new facilities coming up in other cities, we are also looking for prospective sites in Chennai to put up two more serviced apartment complexes. We are keen to have one on OMR, Chennai’s IT corridor, and another near Sriperum budur, which has now emerged as a hub for automobile, telecom and electronics manufacturing. We have a few offers in hand and expect to finalise them soon,” Reddy said.

Iconic Tower could be fully Residential

by Paul Joseph May 24, 2010

After several failed attempts to lease out its six-acre Wadala plot for an iconic tower, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has tweaked tender conditions, which industry sources say, may help it fetch a record price when bids are opened on Tuesday. With a reserve price set at Rs 1,980 crore and a deferred payment schedule spread over five years with a 10% interest annually, the MMRDA’s tender has suddenly generated a lot of interest among Mumbai’s leading developers. Till Friday, almost a dozen real estate companies had purchased the tender document. In 2006, Reliance Industries had paid over Rs 1,100 crore for a plot (18 acres) in the BKC. So, what makes this land—which had no takers till recently—turn into hot property? Although earlier earmarked for a mixed-use tower (commercial and other use) for which not many showed any interest, the MMRDA recently said the winning bidder could now even set up an entirely residential project. Further, the authority also permitted construction of multiple towers instead of a single tall skyscraper. “With a 100% residential potential, it would not be a surprise if it turns out be the largest land deal in the city,” claimed a builder, adding that there will be more takers for residential than commercial. The Wadala plot has a development potential of close to 60 lakh sq ft. It was initially planned as a 101-storey commercial tower, but the MMRDA had to scale it down after it found no takers, besides facing objection from the civil aviation department. MMRDA will lease out the 25,000 sq m Wadala land for 65 years to the highest bidder. According to the tender document, the land could be used for commercial offices, business centres, shopping malls, star hotels and restaurants, entertainment centre, health, sports facilities and residential. The maximum permissible height of the building shall be subject to limitations, if any, set out from time to time by the civil aviation department. Subject to the provisions of the BMC Act, the allottee will have full discretion to organise inner spaces, both horizontally and vertically, to suit his requirements,” it said. The plot is situated near the inter-state bus terminal in Wadala and falls along the upcoming monorail line between Jacob Circle and Chembur via Wadala and is close to the Eastern Express Highway. Firms having an annual turnover of Rs 500 crore will be allowed to participate in the auction.

Ashiana Housing to Mark Big Presence in South India

by Paul Joseph April 20, 2010

With the success of its Utsav brand of retirement resorts in northern parts of the country, Ashiana Housing Ltd is now taking the concept down south. The real estate company has identified around seven locations in South India for setting up retirement homes after a survey and will start operations in four places soon. “We will start with Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi and move to other locations like Coimbatore, Mysore, Vizag later,’’ Mr Ankur Gupta, executive director, told ET. At present, Ashiana Housing has Utsav retirement resorts at Bhiwadi, Jaipur and Lavasa with over 750 functional apartments. The company is targeting ten locations by 2013 and a total of 1300 units by 2013 with an outlay in the range of Rs 75 to 100 crore. Apart from South India, the company is looking at Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata as well. Mr Gupta said the company is in discussion with local land bankers and developers for joint ventures in key locations in South India. The size of the projects would range from 10 acres to 30 acres. “ We will bring in our expertise in construction and post maintenance in the construction,’’ he said. The resorts have been designed keeping in mind the requirements of the senior citizens and have facilities for social, medical, spiritual activities and recreation. To make life easier for old people there are emergency switches at different places, big sized switches in red colour, inbuilt night lamp, anti skid tiles and bathrooms equipped with arthritis friendly handles, Mr Gupta points out. Ashiana Housing, which also does regular housing projects, has completed 90 lakh sq ft in the last 30 years. Almost 55 to 60 % of its total projects, in fact, belong to the regular housing category while the rest is accounted by the retirement resorts, which was started by the company around six years ago. In the next 2 to 3 years, the company wants 50 % of its projects in the Utsav category. The company is expecting an investment in the range of Rs 350 to 400 crore in the real estate sector in the next five years as the prices have stabilized and the realty sector is looking up.
