Pros and cons
Arvind Aqua City
Pros
- A plot is sold on its own land area, so there is no loading, no super built-up definition and no gap between the area paid for and the area owned. What is measured on the ground is what appears on the sale deed.
- At ₹47 Lakh for 403 square yards the entry land rate works out near ₹11,663 per square yard, which is about ₹1,296 per square foot of freehold land.
- Four plot sizes from 403 to 1,047 square yards let a buyer size the ticket to the budget rather than accept a fixed apartment area.
- The buyer controls the build. A plot can be held as land and constructed later, which suits a second home bought ahead of the need for it.
Cons
- Kalyangadh is about an hour from central Ahmedabad, so this reads as a weekend and second home address rather than a daily commute base.
- 68 of the 500 acres go to the lake and the golf course before roads, islands and the clubhouse are counted, and that land is funded through the plot rate and carried afterwards through maintenance.
- A lake, a golf course and a resort are expensive things to run. Recurring maintenance on an estate like this is structurally higher than on a plain plotted scheme, and it lands on the plot owner whether or not the plot is built on.
- Nothing meaningful sits within walking distance. Schools, hospitals and shopping all involve a drive out to the highway.
Arvind Uplands
Pros
- The villa is built and delivered rather than sold as bare land, so the buyer takes possession of a finished Woods Bagot designed bungalow instead of taking on a construction project.
- Parts of the estate are already lived in. The roads, the landscape, the lakes and the club are functioning rather than proposed, which is a level of evidence very few villa townships in Gujarat can offer.
- Every phase carries its own GujRERA registration and all three certificates are published, so a buyer can verify the exact phase, promoter, villa count and validity date before signing.
- The club is unusually large for a residential estate: thirteen five star suites, a banquet hall for five hundred, a party lawn for another five hundred, a theatre, a discotheque, a spa, a library and a full sports complement.
Cons
- The GujRERA certificate for Uplands One names the promoter as Ahmedabad East Infrastructure LLP rather than Arvind SmartSpaces Limited. Uplands Two and Three are registered by Arvind SmartSpaces Limited. Diligence has to follow the entity on the certificate for the phase being bought.
- The three phases carry three different registration numbers and three different validity dates, running to June 2024, June 2026 and May 2031. A villa has to be matched to the right phase before any of those dates mean anything.
- The revenue address falls in Nasmed and Adhana villages, Kalol taluka, Gandhinagar district, even though the estate is marketed as Ahmedabad. Registration, stamp duty and local body dealings follow the revenue address.
- Villa sizes are quoted as land area rather than built up area, so the ticket cannot be compared against an apartment rate per square foot without asking for the constructed area separately.
