Pros and cons
Arvind Forreste
Pros
- The floor plans publish the RERA carpet area for every villa design alongside the quoted size, which is rare on a villa scheme and lets a buyer see exactly what is being paid for before signing.
- The gap between RERA carpet and quoted area is verandah, balcony and open terrace, all of it usable floor, and it runs between thirteen and twenty nine per cent rather than the forty five to sixty per cent an apartment super built-up quote would carry.
- Five designs across studio, one, two, three and four bedrooms give an unusually wide entry range for a villa estate, so a weekend cabin and a full family house sit in the same community.
- Around eighty per cent of the 110 acres is kept open, and the landscape is the structure of the scheme rather than a strip between rows of houses.
Cons
- Khatraj is roughly thirty kilometres from central Ahmedabad, so this is a weekend and second home address rather than a daily commute base.
- The estate is registered in phases under two different taluka jurisdictions, Gandhinagar and Kalol, with separate certificates. A villa has to be matched to the correct phase before its registration means anything.
- The revenue address falls in Gandhinagar district and approvals run through the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority, even though the estate is marketed as Ahmedabad. Registration and stamp duty follow the revenue address.
- A villa price includes the plot under and around the house, so a rate per square foot of carpet is not comparable with an apartment quote and should not be used that way.
Arvind Iconia
Pros
- RERA carpet area is stated for every typology, so the 3 Bed carries 1,237.75 Sq.Ft. and the 4 Bed 1,662.72 Sq.Ft. as fixed figures a buyer can hold the agreement to.
- Pricing is set on carpet plus balcony and utility rather than on a super built-up area, which leaves a gap of roughly 8 per cent on the 3 Bed and 10 per cent on the 4 Bed between what is paid for and what is walked on.
- Vastrapur is a finished neighbourhood rather than a growth corridor, so the lake, IIM Ahmedabad, Gujarat University and Nexus Ahmedabad One are already in daily reach.
- Gurukul Road on the operational Blue Line puts a working metro roughly 2 km away, which is uncommon for a plot this central.
Cons
- 122 homes on 1.15 acres is a dense urban footprint, so the open space is a designed podium and garden rather than a large land parcel.
- Entry pricing works out near ₹25,530 per Sq.Ft. of carpet, which places Iconia at the very top of the Ahmedabad market and narrows the resale pool.
- The RERA registration runs to 31 May 2031, a long horizon for capital committed at launch.
- Only two floor plates are offered, so a buyer who wants a different layout or a smaller home has no alternative within the project.
