Sample Flat : GPL plans to launch the Sample flat on 5th Oct - during the navratra period and plan to have a lauch party on 4th Oct (I may be a couple of days off but this is what I gather). I am not sure if I am going to be in town, but if I am I will not miss that get-together. I think that will be a great opportunity for some of us to meet in person and share our perspectives, thoughts or concerns.

Non Payment of 3rd installment : GPL is sending out reminders with interest due for those who haven't made the 3rd installment.

Getting to know each other : I have this crazy thought and let me know what you guys feel. I know each one of us is busy, travels a lot or based in a location other than NCR. So I was thinking if it'd make sense for us to organize a get-together at a common location (Gurgaon) and catch up on coffee or a beer (obviously I am not hosting it :) it's gotta be self funded)...let me know what you all think and we can work this out...

Thanks. As always appreciate your participation

PS - I still haven't gotten a chance to see the site, if any one of you has feel free to send me pics that I can upload and/or leave comments with the most current status.

Statistics - Copycat blog - Independance day

Looks like everyone has been quite busy scratching their heads around the flat buyer agreement. After careful analysis I signed and sumbitted mine too. Anyway I am gonna keep this posting short and talk about somethings that may be useful or not that useful to you...

Statistics

- I did some analysis and looks like 60-70 Eden heights residents are frequenting and participating in this blog. I am happy and thankful for those who are making this forum interactive and helping us build the eden heights community much before it comes to existance...

Copycat blog

- Check out http://newtownheights.blogspot.com/ - see something similar .. :) actually very similar and I promise I am not hosting that site.... but no points for guessing where the blogger got the idea from :). Anyway - I am glad to see end users coming together in such forums.

Finally - Independance day..

- I felt really proud when I gathered that India finally got a gold at the olympics. Awesome!! So wishing all of you a very happy independance day...

Whats the latest?

Look at the opinion poll (on the left) - there is a lot of optimism that the project will be delivered in 2011, I wish I felt that optimistic about getting the possession in 2011...my selection was 2012.

Anyway, Hello again!! and hope you guys have been doing ok, got your loans secured, signed the buyer-seller agreement etc...and one cant miss all the action happening in the 70 sometihng sectors of gurgaon

Sec 70-A - Pal Aquapolis (high end apartments)
Sec 70 - Unitech Commericial and some residential complexes
Sec 74 - DLF commercial and some residential
Sec 78 - another large residential complex

and on top of that BS. Hooda has finalized the infrastructure development plan for the Gurgaon master plan - some of the salient features are
--> Horticulture work across gurgaon
--> better electricity and water supply
--> better infrastructure
--> initiate development of southern periphery (the one that goes in front of Eden heights) and northern periphery road

Anyway - I met Sandeep Gupta mid of last month and we spent a good amout of time taking about the project and had some candid conversations. And here are some take aways

Electricy - approx 3KVA, 6KVA and 7KVA will be dedicated for 2,3 and 4 bhk respectively and there will be a lumpsome payment we will need to make for the electrical infrastructure
--> for power back up
--> for DHBVN

my guess is you should park some cash aside for this.

Loans - Sandeep confirmed that HDFC, ICICI etc started dispensing home loans for the project

Sample Flat - Agreed that it took them longer to complete the sample flat. They changed the designers and made some tweeks to the design too but hope to complete it by Aug ( i still think it will spill over to sep)

Target completion date - early 2012...

Let me know if you have specific questions - there are a lot of things we discussed but i don't want to fill this page with a lot of text..happy to answer.

Enjoy the August!!!
