The number of stories vary from 6 to 16, depending on the location, measure of land and development authority approval (RAJUK, CDA,etc.). We focus on maximum utilization of the land maintaining aesthetics and following codes.
HOW MANY APARTMENTS ARE THERE IN AN APARTMENT BUILDING?
When deciding upon the number of apartments in any given project two factors are generally given priority – the best utilization of space within restrictions provided by ‘Imarat Nirman Bidhimala’ and National Building Code and the maximum benefit to the purchaser, the Company and the Landowner in all respects. The moderate sized plots and the exclusive projects have one, two or even three apartments on each floor, whereas the large scale projects with a modest price tag are made up of two, three or four blocks of apartments with no more than four or five apartments on each floor of each block.
OF WHAT SIZES ARE THE APARTMENTS?
Apartment sizes vary according to the project location and as per requirement of the client base. The smallest are close to 1000 sft., while the larger apartments might measure around 4000 sft. We also consider custom floor plan if approached at the beginning of the projects.
WHAT IS THE NUMBER OF ROOMS AND HOW ARE THESE ARRANGED?
In addition to spacious living and dining accommodations, the larger apartments have 3 or 4 bed-rooms and usually have a separate family living facility and servant’s room with toilet; while the smaller apartments are of 2 or 3 bed rooms. Even in the smaller apartments, we try to accommodate servant’s room with toilet. There are usually a proportionate number of bathrooms and verandahs in suitable locations. Proper ventilation, maximum usage of natural light, exposure to scenic view – these factors are given highest priority while designing the units.

Our units are priced at a very reasonable rate and the payment mode is kept flexible to accommodate the purchasers. Payment mode is devised upon mutual discussion between the parties. Our units are fixed priced, the rate being revised periodically. This means that with the passage of time, the price of an apartment is revised in keeping with the existing market rate.
