According to Anand Piramal, executive director, Piramal Group, it was a strategic acquisition. “This strategic land acquisition will now significantly benefit existing and potential customers with direct access to development from LBS Marg – the main access road, and a larger layout with more open spaces, additional amenities and reduced density,” he said.

This addition will enhance the entire Revanta project, which will now be spread across 12 acres of land with an investment of Rs1,800 crore.

In the past few years, faced with a slowdown and depletion in sales volume, there has been pressure on builders. Many of them tried to reduce their debt by selling their assets, restructuring loans, inking development management agreements and speeding up deliveries. The pressure has only increased with the advent of the real estate regulator and Goods and Service tax (GST). The regulator mandates disclosure of all project details and also has penal action for violations.

Just last month, Godrej Properties inked a Development Management Agreement with Nirmal Ventures to build an integrated township spread across 14 acres in Thane.
