June 10 - Eden Heights progress report

Hi ya'll - its been a while. And a lot has happened since my last post and the blog adorns a new look too. Some may like some may not...so pls leave your comments!!!

First off, thanks for all the folks who contacted me via email or by phone and complimented on this blog..your compliments are much appreciated and I am very happy to hear that what we have been able to create with this blog is a genuine community of end users at eden heights. I also got a chance to speak with several of you expressing interest in my own property which i didn't want to part with at this point.

Ajay , Chetan - thanks for your email last night. Well, i feel the eden heights project is doing fairly ok, yes there is delay (builder claims 4-5 months, but i feel its more like a year considering i bought in 2007 with a 3 year window to possession) none-the-less the progress is good. Some of the pointers below will help you make up your mind

The progress report

1. Southern Periphery - YAY! finally the southern periphery road has gotten a go ahead and work has been allocated so hopefully we'll see a brand new road there by mid of 2011. Mohit Bansal very accurately posted the link which i too wanted to post. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/haryana-gives-road-project-to-unitech-dlf/634308/1

2. Tower B and C are constructed till 8th floor (a little behind other towers). Tower I is at 12th floor as of today. All other building structures are completed

3. Brick work and electrical work has begun in most of the buildings.

4. The other bit of news i gather is that GPL folks have some sample designs of villas (remember they originally wanted to make villas at the entrance)which they plan to build at the entrance..I still dont have the layout plans but will try to get those. this is also good news though

5. From a payment perspective - if you were go to by the construction link plan..many folks are sitting at a 95% payment structure..i know quite a few of you have paid upwards of 12 installments and some hovering around 8-9 too. GPL folks are now going less aggressive in seeking for payments.


I haven't gotten a chance to meet with Sandeep or his dad in a long time and it's partly because i haven't tried too hard but I ABSOLUTELY will be meeting them in the next few weeks to get some more insights into the project and share with ya'll. I also plan to visit the site next weekend ( 26th june and hope to share some pics then)

BTW - a very warm welcome to the MINT TOWER users to this site. i am glad you are finding the forum useful to interact.

Lastly, since we have a lot of folks interested in GPL, i am trying to talk to GPL folks to see if folks referring this website can get some discount (this is purely in the interest of genuine users and I am not a broker and seek no benefit from this)

Thanks for your patience and keeping this forum active...QUESTIONS/COMMENTS?????
