Thirty two floors zooming up to 105 metres in six acres of land with 89 per cent of open space that boasts of four thematic gardens…that’s Tata Housing’s ‘Aquila Heights,’ all set to take off at the HMT Township at Jalahalli with 360 two-and-three bedroom apartments.
The three towers will be nestled amidst a timber and aroma garden, bio-park and jogging track with tennis and basketball courts along with temperature-controlled swimming pools, sauna and Jacuzzi…every facility that’s going to work with the snazziest of intelligent management systems and a three-tier security back-up. Says Brotin Banerjee, MD, Tata Housing: “Acquila Heights is a pre-certified green building under the guidance of Indian Green Building Council and would perhaps be the tallest residential city building loaded with features for experiencing a luxury comfort zone in the IT capital.”
Banerjee said Aquila Heights was designed by international architects and landscape designers who have brought in a contemporary theme where steel and glass dominate the elevation of the structures. “The entire project has only 11 per cent ground coverage with dedicated traffic zones and pedestrian delights,” he says.
The real estate market scenario may not be as robust as it used to be, feels Banerjee, “but it will soon correct itself, as the present situation is a phase where prices are getting stabilised and will refrain from projecting an unbelievable bubble.”
Although it is said that Bangalore is seeing an over-supply in residential units, he says it’s been a “hot-cake sale” for Aquila Heights as “we steer away from being the everyday builder. That’s why we brought in sand sculpture specialist Sudarsan Pattnaik from Orissa to have him make a “sand model” of our project for public display at Garuda Mall.”
