Sumadhura Palais Royale vs The Trilight

Sumadhura Palais Royale

Pros

• The clubhouse allocation is genuinely strong. 85,000 sq ft divided among 523 households is about 163 sq ft of club per home, against 128 at DSR Valar in Kokapet, 64 at Sumadhura Solea and 42 at the same developer’s Folium in Whitefield.
• Because the whole scheme is one tower rather than a cluster, 85 per cent of the seven and a third acres stays as landscape. The open ground is a consequence of the massing rather than a claim made over a dense site plan.
• The clubhouse is lifted off the ground and bridged into all three wings, so no household has to cross the site or the driveway to use it.
• Khajaguda sits about twenty-one metres above the Financial District, so the tower starts elevated. From the upper floors the outlook takes in Osman Sagar 4.9 km west and the Golconda silhouette 5.4 km east.

Cons

• The views that sell this project are a function of height. Osman Sagar is 4.9 km away and Golconda 5.4 km, and the Sky Patios sit at the upper floors. A home on the lower third of the tower is buying the address and the club, not the panorama.
• Seven and a third acres carrying 523 homes of 3,800 to 6,610 sq ft works out to roughly 2.7 million sq ft of saleable area on 320,000 sq ft of land, about eight and a half times the plot. The ground stays open because everything went vertical, and Telangana sets no ceiling on how intensely a neighbouring plot can follow suit.
• Land per home is about 612 sq ft and open ground per home about 520 sq ft, which is roughly one bedroom of outdoor space per household despite the 85 per cent figure.
• Fifty-two floors is a long way up and a long way down. At about ten homes per floor the daily experience of the building will be decided by the lift provision more than by anything in the apartment.
