Now, homes with helipads!

Now, a dozen townships in India with their own helipads!
The new townships being planned in more than a dozen Tier II and III cities will offer helipads. Business honchos will have to come with their own choppers, of course. The Ahmedabad-based EsVee Group, promoted by Vijay Kumar Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director of the Rs 1,300-crore Gujarat Ambuja Exports Ltd (GAEL), plans to invest nearly Rs 2,000 crore in the next five years to develop such exclusive townships across India. ?All these townships will be identical, with the same designs, and developed by the same architect and planner, the Singapore-based Jurong International,? Gupta told Business Line in Ahmedabad.
The first township off the block will be at Mysore, famed for its annual Dussehra pageant.
Currently, the company offers plots varying from 2,400 to 10,000 sq.ft and will soon make available flats and villas. It will have all amenities pre-laid and in place ? roads, water, electricity and broadband connection, among others. The Rs 180-crore project is scheduled to be completed by 2010.
The township, ?Highlands?, will offer 250 residential flats of three to five bedrooms with a price-tag of Rs 60 to 90 lakh, and 150 villas ? all fully furnished and air-conditioned. Highlands is the first infrastructure development project undertaken by the EsVee Group. Its joint promoter is the Bangalore-based Ishya Group.
Similar townships are being planned for Siliguri, Agra, Ludhiana, Chandigarh, Hubli, Cochin, Coimbatore, Mangalore, Nashik, Pune, Vadodara and Rajkot. With an initial outlay of Rs 2,000 crore, the company ? Esveegee Realty Gujarat Pvt Ltd ? will invest around Rs 160-170 crore on an average on each township.
