Gurugram: On the occasion of World Environment Day, Central Park, a reputed luxury real estate developer organized a plantation drive at their townships Central Park Flower Valley and Central Park Resorts in Gurugram on Saturday. The developer took it upon itself to encourage all its residents to participate in the exercise of saving the planet from greenhouse gases.

At least 150 residents came together to plant trees as high as 10 feet in a dedicated zone on Saturday morning. They even placed their name tags around the plant to watch them grow in their name. The kids were engaged in planting saplings in planters which they could carry home to nurture. Central Park’s horticulture team was there to help residents complete the process & facilitate the plantation. The team informed that the trees planted on Saturday included Silk Floss tree, which is a species of deciduous tree native to the tropical and subtropical forests of South America, Brazil and Argentina. The tree has the potential to attain a height of 50 feet with an equal spread.

Team Central Park organized the plantation in line with this year’s theme ‘Ecosystem Restoration’. As one of the important days for Mother Earth fell during the pandemic time, they ensured that everyone present at the site followed the COVID guidelines and maintained social distancing.

The plantation drive will add a feather to the already serene environment provided by Central Park Flower Valley and the lush green Central Park Resorts. The two townships are premium global townships embellished with lush greenery, exquisite flora and water bodies. They are located amidst a treasure trove of nature with thousands of trees and multiple flower lanes, tucked away from the chaos of the city.

Amarjit Bakshi, CMD, Central Park, said, “The focal point this year is ecosystem restoration, and the best way is to replenish the system with the right kind of flora and fauna; it is an investment for the future and an assurance to the generations that we are trying our best to provide healthy lifestyle to them. We support the UN’s ‘global mission to revive billions of hectares, from forests to farmlands, from the top of mountains to the depth of the sea’. Saving trees and increasing Greenland has always been an integral part of all our projects and it is our consistent endeavour to grow more trees. While the 20-acre huge Central Park Resorts has thousands of trees, Central Park Flower Valley is a symbol of all year round flowering plants, miles of green hedges, citrus trees and even organic farms.

Praising the drive, a resident, said, “It was a unique opportunity for the children to participate in the activity. It will be an experience of sorts for them to see the saplings they grow today to blossom into full-fledged plants and trees in the future.”

Luxury housing segment to witness a fillip in demand

Oct 16, 2020 by Gouri Achary 0 Comments #Amarjit Bakshi, #Central Park, #luxury houses, #M3M Group, #Pankaj Bansal

The real estate sector is gaining traction in the residential segment as buyers are taking purchase decisions rapidly in subsequent unlock phases. The segment has registered a massive 254% increase in the enquiry. It has also reached 65% of sales of the pre-Covid level, Anarock, a property consultant, says in its report. These figures are the result of increased economic activity post lockdown and the lucrative discounts offered by builders.

The luxury homes, a lifestyle statement reflecting a higher social and financial status, are a major attraction of buyers, especially of NRIs who are inclined towards a life of luxury. Luxury houses provide an opportunity for buyers to expand their social circle and connect with a diverse community having similar status. A weaker rupee, lower interest on a home loan, and the permission to own many immovable properties are the other prominent factors that make them buy a property in India.

Developers see a sanguine future for the segment and are building projects equipped with all the modern amenities. Talking about the luxury segment and buyers’ inclination towards it, Amarjit Bakshi, CMD, Central Park, said, “Indeed the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted the smooth flow of the real estate market globally. However, we at Central Park have started experiencing an increase in traction from potential customers in the luxury housing segment as the lockdown is easing out. Individuals have realized that real estate is still the best investment option. Luxury real estate is not only a great investment, it is the destination for the upwardly mobile professional elites of India.”

The concept of luxury has evolved to include many more features. The globetrotting generation compares the amenities offered in India with the world. As a result, the developers have included world-class features in projects.

“With evolving dynamics in the Indian Real Estate, developers are also focusing on offering lux amenities to the homebuyers. The leisure of clubhouses, swimming pools, kids play areas, spa and other resorts like amenities are gaining huge traction from the buyers in the luxury housing sector. The post-COVID-19 scenario is assumed to be no different for High net-worth individuals (HNIs), who are the target audience of this segment. The luxury housing market is witnessing a revival as the end-users at the top of the pyramid have only been affected marginally, and their lifestyle benchmarks continue to evolve.” Said Pankaj Bansal, Director, M3M Group.

From high-rises to duplexes and independent construction or even gated communities; luxury homes across the country are now constructed with high-end features and specifications not just in design and interiors, but also in construction methods, and amenities. Swimming pools, sports complexes, fitness centres, kids zones, meditation centres, manicured lawns, electronic security, are some other features that make luxury housing the best place to live. The technology inclusion, especially automation, has gained equal importance. Thus, it is not only drawing interest from domestic buyers, but also from the NRIs.

The pandemic has further increased the importance of luxury housing projects due to health and safety reasons. People want a serenely beautiful place having all the facilities to live in. Luxury houses meet all the demands of the buyers. This is the reason behind the increase in demand for such homes which has spread beyond the metro cities. The segment is going to witness more increase in demands in this festive quarter.
