Unlock your home amidst spectacular views
Post lockdown, make the right decision! It’s time to think about the aftermath of the pandemic, which has established the fact that owning an apartment is way better than dealing with the uncertainties of living in a rented accommodation.
In less than eight weeks, Covid-19 has re-ordered virtually every industry in Mumbai. However, this churn will ultimately enable us to re-structure our priorities, ways of living and working to define a new world order. Now that millions of people have understood how important ‘home’ actually is — as a safe haven; a de facto schoolhouse; an impromptu remote office, a space we live in and more importantly, what we demand of it; it’s significance stands to look profoundly different in the post-corona virus world. This top-down re-visioning of luxury real estate specially in south Mumbai will have an outsized, trickle-down impact on how we build; the amenities we use; how we move and interact with one another in public and private places, and what ultimately constitutes ‘space’ for years to come.
So how did a flat-owner in Mumbai feel during lockdown?
To start with, we need to think what has the lockdown given us that we never had enough of? The best answer - time!
It’s time to think about the aftermath of the pandemic situation, which has established the fact that owning an apartment is way better than dealing with the uncertainties of living in rented accommodation. People are also realising the importance of having a spacious apartment, which has a sense of expansiveness and is well-designed. Ideally, an apartment should offer optimum views, light and cross ventilation. Thoughtfully- designed, large living spaces with resplendent quality would be one of the important considerations for a home buyer. When social distancing is the new normal, it has become important to stay in a building, where there is less number of families residing in limited apartments. For example, having only two apartments on a floor or having less than 35 families staying in the building.
Almost every person has given a thought to owning a bigger home or a boutique apartment, where amenities like a big kitchen, a temple or prayer room with a study room can be availed. Also many are looking for amenities like in-house gym, a sky garden or a business lounge, where one can practice remote working without feeling the pinch of work-from-home during lockdown. Keeping the complexity of the situation in mind, an ideal mid-size, luxury home with good views, ample sunlight, basic amenities and ready-to- move-in status will be an ideal buyer’s choice.
To be specific, a ready SOBO luxury project with no GST cost, essential amenities, in good neighbourhood, with connectivity to most parts of the city and in proximity of healthcare facilities, should be the buyer’s choice. One should understand the agony and hardships endured when right investments are not made early.
Nahar Group recently completed luxury project, Excalibur by Nahar. It is one of the rarest stand-alone buildings in South Mumbai with 34 luxury apartments and offers most essential luxury amenities for post COVID era. Excalibur by Nahar is located at Jacob Circle, Mahalaxmi, and offers mesmerising views of the Racecourse, Arabian Sea and skylines of South Mumbai. This luxury project is ready with an ‘occupation certificate’ and buyers can get immediate possession of their apartments.
In many ways Excalibur is already ahead of the curve as it offers technological advancement, timely completion of the project with occupation certificate and essential luxury amenities that residents can enjoy without leaving the building. But as a developer, we are always conscious about adapting our projects to buyers’ needs at any given time. The forms and functions of our architecture and amenities are all based on their demands. With only two apartments on each floor, this 25-storey building is designed in such a way that all the apartments give you uninterrupted view of Mahalaxmi Racecourse and the panoramic view of the Arabian Sea. Talking about the new normal, Excalibur by Nahar has lots to offer. It offers salon services, open-air meditation area, in-house health club and an executive lounge with conference room as well as Sky Garden Café & Bar. Use of technology and engineering excellence is evident everywhere as the project holds the distinction of winning one of the most prestigious awards for Nahar Group - Best Residential Developer of the Year at Global Real Estate & Business Excellence Awards Dubai.
In this time of crisis, many of the residential properties in south Mumbai are still under-construction and are suffering from uncertainties over their future. Scarcity of labour and supply chain effect might lead to massive delay in completion of these projects.
Excalibur by Nahar has a competitive edge over these projects as it is already completed with occupation certificate and we believe this will draw in buyers, who are looking for immediate possession towards it. To know more, visit www.naharexcalibur.com
