Noida’s highrise buildings set to break new ground

Darpan Singh, Hindustan Times
Noida, December 01, 2011

Noida will soon have some of the tallest buildings in India.
Supertech on Wednesday unveiled its plan to build a 300-metre, 80-floor mixed-use tower (Spira) in Sector 94. This comes after the realty major in March, launched a 255-metre-tall and 60-floor residential tower named

High-rise construction specialist BE Billimoria has been given the contract for the tallest residential building in North India. The foundation work is complete.

The builder claimed Spira would be the tallest mixed-use tower in India. Apart from luxury flats, there will also be some big-ticket commercial activities such as five-star hotels and retail chains. RK Arora of Supertech said, “We have got clearance from the Airports Authority of India (AAI), the fire department and the Noida authority.”

The project, spread in an area of 70,000 sqm with a built up area of 50 lakh sqft, will cost Rs 2,000 crore and will be completed in four years in three phases. “The layout has been approved by the IIT too. Spira is one of the five towers to be built under Supertech's project Supernova in Sector 94 at Delhi-Noida border,” said Arora.

The Noida authority will also have its new office in a 42-storey building on a 17,000 sqm plot in Sector 44.

The authority in 2007 approved a 32-floor, 105-metre residential tower being built by Assotech Group in Sector 44.

Design Arch in Sector Zeta launched greater Noida’s tallest residential building project with 24 floors in 2008.

North Eye in Sector-74.

Aspirations fuel rise of NCR skyscrapers; Noida to get 300 meters high building

20 Nov, 2011, 10.49AM IST, Vandana Keelor,TNN

NOIDA: It's been a year of the NCR's rise so far. The record for the region's tallest building has been broken several times over, even if only on paper . Just weeks after a construction firm announced plans to build Delhi's first skyscraper (defined as a building taller than 150m) comes the news that the region's tallest building will top 300m – more than four times the height of Qutub Minar.

While plans have not been formally unveiled, sources say the Supertech Supernova project will be set in Noida's Sector 94, with an 80-floor skyscraper offering a mix of residential and commercial spaces as its centrepiece. That's a full 20 floors and 45m higher than the last 'planned' tallest skyscraper: Supertech's 255m North Eye in Noida's Sector 74. Meanwhile, plans for half a dozen other skyscrapers are also afloat in and around Delhi.

What's behind this sudden rush to set height records ? Given the traditional preference for lower floors in the NCR and the prohibitive cost of building skyscrapers, such projects seem an expensive gamble.

However, real estate experts say a strong aspirational culture and the brandbuilding needs of developers make it a ripe time to launch such projects.

"We understand that the homebuyer has evolved. As per the demand, we offer a package of services and features that cannot be replicated in a row house," says Getamber Anand, MD of ATS Infrastructure and vice-president of the builders' organization CREDAI.

"After the success of highrises in Mumbai and other metropolitan cities, Noida is now ready for tall buildings," says realtor Pradeep Bhatia, adding, "although it costs more to build vertically, people want homes for 'total' living . They see home as a sanctuary and demand the best quality and durability" .

Aspirational choices have strongly influenced recent real estate developments in the NCR. Designer condominiums , shopping malls and world-class commercial complexes are now part of every developer's blueprint. Although skyscraper projects mark a new trend, residential towers of more than 20 floors are becoming commonplace.

Anshuman Magazine, CMD of international property consultants CBRE, says upbeat, cosmopolitan urban youth are willing to splurge on luxury, convenience and entertainment.

"Although cost of construction goes up if you go vertical, (local) development authorities (now) provide an opportunity for really tall buildings to come up." Magazine sees the trend getting stronger. Sources told TOI construction of the Supernova project is expected to commence in December and will be completed by 2015.

There will be two luxury residential towers, two starrated hotel complexes, a high-end shopping avenue and an office tower. The residential towers will have around 1,500 high-end homes, including three- and four-bedroom apartments. Floor rates in this part of Noida range from Rs 10,000 to Rs 15,000 per square foot.

Skyscrapers across Delhi NCR skyline

19 Nov, 2011, 10.53AM IST, A K Tiwary,TNN

DELHI: Prepare to book your dream home in one of the several highrise projects under construction in the NCR.

Sensing the scarcity of land likely to hit the NCR in the near future, builders and developers are focusing their real estate projects on mixed land use and vertical developments. A few highrise projects have already been launched in this category like the Supertech's North Eye in Noida (60 floors and 255 metre high) and the Raheja Group's Raheja Revanta in Gurgaon (56 floors and 195 metres high).

After the successful launch of North Eye, Supertech is now planning for a skyscraper, Supertech Supernova (80 floors and 300 metres high), in Sector 94, along the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway . This will be one of the tallest highrise projects in the NCR. The DGCA has reportedly cleared the plan for these proposed projects; the Noida Authority too has already cleared this project, a source says.

"Noida Authority does not have any objection to such highrise towers provided all the formalities are cleared from the departments concerned. To promote highrise projects, the Noida Authority has already a proposal to increase the FAR (floor area ratio) to 3.50, from the current 2.75. With demand for service and luxurious apartments set to go up in future, real estate developers are working on the highrise projects, with some even going in for skyscrapers (defined as buildings over 150 metres high). The authoring is improving infrastructure of this place day-by-day. With improving infrastructure and better connectivity, Noida will see several highrise projects in the near future," says Mohinder Singh, chairman of Noida Authority.

Supertech Supernova will be constructed by B L Kashyap and company. Binoy of UK and Bureau Happloid are the architects for this project while Cracknell has designed the landscape. The iconic 300-floor building will have 900 studio and 560 luxurious apartments on 70,000 sq metres in Sector 94.

Raheja Developers has signed a Rs 1,020-crore contract with the Dubaibased Arabtec construction company, which built the tallest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. Initially, Arabtec will start construction on three of the Raheja projects: Raheja Revanta, Raheja Phoenix and Raheja Srishti,

Navin Raheja, the chairman and managing director of Raheja Group, says: "Raheja Revanta will be 190 metres high; the first project to be constructed by Arabtec in India, and one of the tallest skyscrapers in India. Such projects, especially in north India, require specialized technology and manpower which are not easily available with any of the builders in India.

Revanta will have 56 floors with a helipad and have a skybridge with an infinity pool on the 46th floor overlooking the Aravalis. With a planned height of 190 metres and 54 floors, the Raheja Phoenix project located at Patel Nagar will be the tallest in Delhi. The DGCA has given clearance to both the projects. Arabtec will also construct 2,800 EWS houses under the slum redevelopment PPP project with DDA, in two years."

Raheja Revanta will be digitally controlled . It will be a self-sustaining green project and take care of energy and water conservation. The project will also have a large spa facility under arrangement with Amatrra.

The 3C is also planning a highrise of nearly 40 floors in Noida, along the expressway . It is at a planning and design stage, says Vidur Bharadwaj, director of the 3C company.

Highrise projects in Noida

Work on the first tallest project in Noida, Supertech's North Eye, is already under way. Construction is by Billy Maurya and the North Eye company. North Eye will be 255 meters high with 60 floors. Spread over 9 acres, this innovatively designed project will be completed over the next 38 months, says R K Arora, the chairman and managing director of Supertech.

North Eye has three parts: East Wing and West Wing on the ground and Central Tower. The East and West Wings comprises 1 and 2 floors and provide facilities like family shopping centres, cafeteria , lobbies and facilities like a creche, a playschool and a primary school.

Central Tower consists of a waiting lounge, lobbies, cafeteria and hi-end shopping areas. Assotech Ltd has also launched Celeste Towers in Sector 44 in Noida. Sanjiv Srivastava, the MD of Assotech Limited, says that Celeste Towers are being developed as the tallest luxurious towers in the NCR. This 35-level highrise will be built over 14,331 square metres.

Assotech Ltd has all the clearances from the government authorities concerned. International consultants have been roped in to provide landscaping , interiors and lighting consultancy in the project. S K Das Associated Architects is the principal architect for the project.

Celeste Towers consists of two 121-metre tall towers – Celeste Europa and Celeste Corona. Each level of Celeste Europa will have only one condominium of 4,750 square feet and there will be only thirty condominiums in all. Celeste Corona offers state-of-the-art facilities like a health club, a swimming pool and a gymnasium at the top two levels of the tower. A helipad at the 35th level will add to the luxuries of Corona buyers.

Timely delivery: New reality of Indian realty

December 05, 2011 11:41 IST

It's a race among real estate developers to complete a floor quicker than the rest. With timely delivery of projects turning into a selling point, innovative technology is being put to use by realtors like never before.

Raheja Developers, which recently tied up with Dubai-based Arabtec Constructions, would be using a combination of various technologies for three highrise residential projects in Gurgaon and Delhi [ Images ].

Expected to be the tallest tower in Gurgaon, the construction of a 60-floor Raheja Revanta will involve using three major techniques, 'slip form construction', 'pre-fabricated construction' and 'dry-wall technique'.

Supertech, building an 80-floor mixed use building, Supernova, in Gurgaon, which it claims would be the tallest in the country, will be using a jump-form or slip form technology imported from Australia [ Images ].

Raheja Developers' Director Nayan Raheja said slip form construction would enable them to build a floor in just three to four days, as against 15 days using traditional technology. "Slip form will take only one fifth of the time of what the traditional technique takes," he said.

Concrete is poured into a continuously moving form that enables continuous, non-interrupted, cast-in-place "flawless" (no joints) structures, which have superior performance characteristics versus piecewise construction using discrete form elements.

R K Arora, chairman and managing director, Supertech, told Business Standard, the technique would help them do a floor in just seven days.

Pre-fabricated construction includes doing electrical and plumbing work at the stage of casting RCC (reinforced cement concrete) on ground, which developers are starting to use these days. It is expected to cut construction time by more than half, Arora said.

"However, it has its disadvantage," said Raheja. "As plumbing and electrical work can't be changed at a later stage, we have to be very careful." Yet, prefabricated construction is gaining pace in India [ Images ], with many developers going for it.

"Developers are using steel frames to build a structure and then to do the interiors with prefabricated structures," said Samarjit Singh, CEO, Agni Properties.

A dry-wall technique involves constructing interior walls, ceilings and floors through plastered or microfibre board, joined during the installation.

Apart from offering sound control, dry-wall construction can also make an interior space fire-resistant and damp-resistant.

"A dry-wall technique is easier, faster and more economical compared to the traditional technique of hand plastering," Raheja said.

Arora, however, calls the dry-wall technique an expensive one in India at the moment, as it involves sound proofing, which is not economical. "However, it definitely ensures quick completion of projects," he said.

Raheja says construction techniques in India are nearly 20 years behind the Western world. "In the West, clay brick is out of construction; in India, we still use it." He said innovative construction techniques would also add 10 per cent to construction cost.

Supertech has a business development department which keeps a watch on innovation and construction techniques around the world.

Anshuman Magazine, chairman and managing director, CB Richard Ellis (South Asia), said developers in India are importing advanced construction technology in order to maintain competitive edge in the market.

"Today, customers' focus is on who delivers the project on time, which has become a selling point for the developers." Also, a lot of highrise buildings are coming up, where one can't do without the use of technology.

Singh said with the focus also shifting towards affordable housings, developers are cutting costs using improved and innovative construction techniques for quicker completion.

"Jerry Rao's VBHC, an affordable housing project in Bangalore, is also focusing on using technology to build affordable homes at Rs four to six lakh, while promising delivery within six months from starting construction".

Singh believes that the use of technology will only grow in the coming years, letting developers complete projects in just three to four months.
