Nagpur witnessing rise in number of skyscrapers
ORANGE City, once dominated
by single-storey households and
bungalows surrounded by verandahs and gardens, is now witnessing a dramatic shift in its
skyline. High-rise buildings are
transforming the city’s landscape
and aspirations of home seekers
in growing numbers. Leading
builders and developers in the
region are riding this wave with
innovative and ambitious projects.
There are six to seven multistorey state-of-the-art commercial and residential housing projects shaping up in different
strategic locations that are
redefining luxury living.
With 31 floors, Kukreja Infinity,
a premium residential project in
Civil Lines, built by Kukreja
Infrastructures, is the tallest
building in Central India. The
high-rise building offers luxurious apartments with top-notch
amenities. The project is complete and the occupants are
enjoying world class amenities
and breathtaking views from the
high rise.
Kukreja Infrastructures is also
coming of with a 31-storey building, ‘The One’, in the same area.
The project is under construction. Paris City, another mega
project of the builder is coming
up for those who desire more
space and grandeur. Once completed, the Paris City project will have three towers each of 29
floors and 34 floors. Kukreja
Embassy in Byramji Town is
another high-rise project of
the builder with 20 floors.
In addition to this, the
builder is also building four
towers of 27 floors each in
the existing Kukreja Anandam
City located in Ganeshpeth
area. Shravan Kukreja,
Managing Director of Kukreja
Infrastructures, told ‘The
Hitavada’ that growing
opportunities in various sectors in and around Nagpur are
attracting young professionals seeking modern living
spaces.“Affordable land within city limits is becoming
scarce, making vertical development a logical solution.
Additionally, changing
lifestyles and aspirations have
created a demand for luxurious amenities and panoramic views, which high-rise
buildings readily offer,” he
said.
The upcoming Jayanti
Nagari 7 by Abhijit Realtors
& Infraventures Private
Limited in Manish Nagar is a
six-tower project of 27 floors
each. It offers 1,300 flats with
state-of-the-art amenities.
“The project is spread over 15
acres of land out of which the
buildings are occupying only
20 per cent space. On the rest
of the 80 per cent available
space, we are developing all
the modern amenities. Most
home seekers are preferring
flats on top floors than those
on the lower ones,” said
Abhijit Majumdar, Managing
Director of the company.
Similarly, Mittal Group is
coming up with a 27-floor
luxury apartment scheme -
‘Atlantis’ - located near
Hazaripahad Bus Stop in
Seminary Hills. The apartments are being designed to
deliver ultimate comfort.
It
will have an infinity swimming pool on the 20th floor,
first-of-its-kind facility in the
region. Nitin Agrawal,
Director of Mittal Group, said
the occupants can experience
the best in class experience.
“The panoramic view from
the building is beyond one’s
imagination. It is attracting a
large number of people,” he
said. Real estate experts
accepted that the trend for
high-rises is fast catching up
due to the benefits involved
in skyscrapers. “Building
upwards optimises land
usage, creating more space for
greenery and public amenities within city limits and thus
the trend is fast catching up
here,” they concluded.
