Mumbai: Chalet Hotels Ltd. and K Raheja Corp Homes, have entered into a strategic alliance for a luxury residential development, in the Koramangala micro-market of Bengaluru. Spread across an expansive 8.25-acre premium land parcel owned by Chalet Hotels Ltd., the project will be exclusively marketed by K Raheja Corp Homes. This project is focussed to delivering an ecosystem which will have 7.44 acres allocated for a hi-end gated residential development, and 0.81 acres earmarked for a Grade A commercial development. This endeavour represents probably one of the finest greenfield residential projects in the area. Named Raheja Vivarea, the residential offering will be similar to the much-touted Raheja Vivarea in Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi, which has congregated the who’s who of Corporate India. With a total saleable area of 8.5 lakh sq. ft., the project encompasses a township of 9 towers, each with 10 floors and 2 Towers with 11 floors taking the total number of apartments to over 300. The development is underway with OC received for 4 towers.

The collaboration between Chalet Hotels Ltd. and K Raheja Corp Homes exemplifies the alignment within the K Raheja Corp group, where diverse yet complementary strengths synergize to yield business outcomes. Chalet Hotels Ltd., with its proficiency in hospitality and asset development, effectively combines its capabilities with K Raheja Corp Homes, which plays a pivotal role as the project’s marketing partner, capitalizing on its rich experience in residential development and market acumen. The partnership is further fortified by the group’s thriving office venture, seamlessly complementing, and effectively meeting the demand generated by the evolving ecosystem. This allows individuals to live, work, and play, creating a holistic and compelling value proposition that not only maximizes the potential of each entity but also offers a thriving space for the entire community to flourish. The development is unique in the micro market, and one of the first hi-end gated communities in the prestigious Block 3 of Koramangala, with villa sized floor plates.

Speaking on the project launch, Ramesh Ranganathan, CEO – K Raheja Corp Homes said, “The Koramangala market, with limited green field land prospects, makes this project highly aspirational. By combining our respective domains of expertise, the group is strategically poised to create a distinctive offering that combines the opulence of hospitality with the comforts of home, delivering value for stakeholders. This synergy is a testament to the group’s cohesive vision and collective pursuit of excellence in real estate development. This marks the luxury residential foray of the group with our flagship Vivarea brand in the city of Bengaluru.”

The Raheja Vivarea apartments will offer residences ranging up to 4,006 sq.ft. carpet, characterised by opulent 10.8 ft. floor to floor height and spacious decks extending up to 6.8 ft in width.  Homes can be tailored to variants of 3, 3.5, 4 and 5 BHK apartments costing upwards of INR 6 cr.
