rates r to high i find indiabulls greens rate more resonable then hiranandani...and is atleast 5km from panvel station...but hiranandani is quite far..

sbhagtani

arihant arham is offering flats at 2350/- per sq.ft at panvel,lower than ibrealestate,hiranandani,kalpatru.
neelkanth and mahavir are also coming up with projects in panvel.

wadia

It is as far from panvel station as indiabulls is. On the other side and next to a river. There are 3 storey buildings, 75 of them, only 2-BHKs. For me it is like govt colony in bandra east.

sbhagtani

but construction is going on unlike ib real estate,price is lower,maintanance will be lower,builder has some reputation in new mumbai,
hiranandani, ibreal estate,etc with their political connections are just out there to loot people.

peeya

i dnt find hiranandani best investment..coz its more far thn indiabulls project and kalpataru...sorry guys im not negative abt hiranandani but place is vry far...and even rates wat they r coating is too high..

Construction for Indiabulls has also started.
Arihants price is lower but comparing the projects, the price is not cheap. It is probably just worth what they are selling it for.

You blame Hiranandani and IB to be looting people. I agree.
Is Arihant doing anything different? 2300 for the project and the location is same
as 2900 for IB and 3600 for Hiranandani and 4000 for Kalpatru

All builders are in the same business - Make as much money as possible - Basic principle of Capitalism
In the absence of a regulator they all resort to looting their customers.

It is up to every individual to decide what he needs:
Arihant: at 2300, 3 storey building, 75 building society, other side of panvel, near a river!
IB: 2900, lack of transparency, long time for possession, township and 5Km from panvel
Hiranandani: 3600, including an SEZ, in Rasayani, leasehold, but posh!!
Kalpatru: 4000, river thing stinks, good builder, good location.

hi Peeya,
good to see u on Hirco forum.... hope u remember me frm Indiabulls Panvel greens forum. I am in a better position to compare these projects as I have invested in both of them. [504, H-Block in Indiabulls and 2403, Claremont in Hirco]
I think it is not fair to compare hirco project with Indiabulls w.r.t. its distance from Panvel stn or upcoming panvel a/p for that matter. I m aware that hirco is around 5kms farther than indiabulls from Panvel rly stn, but Indiabulls itself is at least 6kms from the stn which in itself is already a long distance from any rly stn by Mumbai standards wherein distance between two consecutive stns is sometimes less than 5kms
Both these projects are going to have shuttle services to and from the respective projects to the rly stns and on the New Panvel Roads, I think people from Hirco might need to take only a 5 mins earlier shuttle to reach Panvel rly stn on the same time as those from Indiabulls project.
In my opinion Hirco is a posh project in true sense since they might have lesser number of residential buildings in their 280acres as compared to Indiabulls with only 80acres at their disposal, leading to more scope for open spaces and other recreational activities.
I have 3BHK in 1407sqft. in Indiabulls H-Block... as compared to only 2.5BHK in 1580 sqft in Hirco. This is a good indication of who has got more spacious Flats.
Hirco have better views of matheran mountains for their higher floor occupants in addition to the garden view for their lower floor occupants as compared to Indiabulls project. Coparison of bldg layout plans show that Hirco has taken a much better care of the views from almost all their appartments as against Indiabulls wherein only those flats paying PLC charges are offered good views [i have myself paid a PLC of Rs.100 for Garden view in Indiabulls project]
The very fact that Hirco will have their own power substation (built by Tata Power) to support their township speaks volumes about their superiority in customer care.
And above all unlike Indiabulls, who have been non-transparent and illusive about their commencement of construction, Hirco has been very clear that they don't expect their construction to begin before the last quarter of Yr.2010 even if Hirco was soft launched at least 6 months before Indiabulls Panvel greens.

Plz don't think that i want to demoralize you as it will be like demoralizing myself as I am also an investor in Indiabulls (phase-1). In fact would like to congratulate you as we have already got a good appreciation on what we bought. But on any day I will never accept the argument that Hirco Palace gardens in Panvel is not a best investment.

Good comaprison Bhushan. As I earlier said Hirco is Posh. Comparing the price of Hirco and Indiabulls, you basically get what you pay for.
BTW what price did you pay for Hirco. I mean sqft,floor rise, parking, etc?

peeya

HI BHUSHAN IT REALY NICE TO SEE U TOO IN HIRCO FORUM...HEY I AGREE WAT EVER U EXPLAIND SO NICELY ABT THE HIRCO..BUT SEE I JUST GOT HITCH BY SOME POINTS WHICH CAME IN MINE MIND..( Hiranandani: 3600, including an SEZ, in Rasayani, leasehold) WHICH IS ALSO ON MANY PEOPLES MIND SO I FELT...BUT ANYWAYS CONGRATS...

I have stayed in Panvel sold the flat and moved to Kharghar. From my personal experience I can tell you that Panvel is a village compared to Kharghar. The area next to the Bus Depot is a slum and slums are a rarity in Navi Mumbai. Kharghar has all the big retailers including More, Reliance Fresh, Big Bazaar, Spinach etc. There are quite a few malls in Kharghar, Adlabs and another theater, there are good schools for kids, temples, hospitals, engineering college, medical college, Management college, NIFT. For a place like Rasayani to get all these things will take years. There have been other projects in the past which have touted the so called shuttle service and it's all useless, ultimately you have to rely on public transportation and that will take years to come up. If you want to travel from Navi Mumbai to Mumbai frequently you have to rely on local trains (it takes one hour flat from the time you board the train in Kharghar to the time you get to CST). Traveling from Rasayani to CST is going to take more than 1.5 hours easily. Hiranandani can build the buildings but, for the retail chains to setup shop it needs to make business sense for them so, it's unlikely that there will be too many retail chains that open shop in Hiranandani Panvel atleast not till the place is fully occupied. Which just means that if you need to shop for anything other than basic groceries you will have to travel. Options for education too are going to be limited if any. It's just my personal opinion but, I think people who are planning to buy in Panvel (whether ibulls or hirco or kalpataru or whatever else) should really instead go to Kharghar. It's a much better option with every thing that is already present there and in the future it is going to be even better with all the planned infrastructure for Kharghar. If Hiranandani Rasayani deserves 3600 then I would say that Kharghar (main Kharghar sec-7, which also has afew buildings by Hiranandani) easily deserves 6500 as of today. And something like Sec-10 Kharghar is easily worth 5500 and Sec-35 (even though I would not recommend anyone buy there right now) is worth 4500-5000.
