Large residential projects in Kolkata are trying to revive those aspects of daily life that urban residential areas have been slowly losing over the last few decades. Till even the late 1990s, it was relatively easy to find a park to play in most residential areas; the streets were never as unsafe and exposure to pollution was not at the back of the mind while being outdoors. But now, one is considered lucky if there is an open space with fresh air close to home.
Gems Bougainvillas is a large residential project, but differentiated from all others by one simple fact: Bougainvillas is offering residential bungalows, rowhouses and villas. Spread over 50-acres, Bougainvillas offers more in terms of outdoor life and daily conveniences than any other project in the city right now. Below is a short list:
- 16 types of parks & gardens
- Multiple waterbodies with fishing island
- Waterside promenade & fountain
- 11 outdoor fitness areas
- 17 different outdoor play areas
- 18 unique areas for outdoor leisure
- Multiple convenience stores
- Mobile app for home-services
- Home services like maid, electrician, plumber, carpenter, pest-control, cook, gardener, ambulance, etc.
- Creche for children
- Business centre at the club
- Academic & extra-curricular coaching
By providing for almost all aspects of daily life, Gems Bougainvillas is creating the sense of community and vitality that we are used to seeing in residential neighbourhoods. In addition to the spaciousness and openness of residential bungalows, the openness and availability of outdoor activities encourages many healthy patterns of behaviour – socialising, stepping out for fresh air, working out and refreshing oneself without relying on addictive habits like social media.
In our experience, home buyers are really excited about openness and one of the reasons they make new purchases is to get away from the feeling of squeezed into a space that most residential areas have become now. That is one reason why our rowhouses are a popular choice with the families visiting the site. One of our premium products, a 7katha range of villas, has been entirely sold out within a span of 2 months.
Home buyers are also happy to be staying in a residential project near Joka metro, this gives them the convenience of travel and helps them stay in an area which is not always congested with activity. This upward trend in larger residential projects by real estate developers in Kolkata is encouraged by great home buyer interest in them, and hopefully it shall continue.
