5 reasons why Luxury living is in vogue

Comfortable housing is a need that cannot be overlooked. With an increasingly hectic lifestyle, all of us want to retire to a relaxing place after the day’s work. This is giving rise to homes that are designed luxuriously, providing for each and every relaxation need of home owners. Luxury apartments are in vogue today. The reasons for the same can be many:

Increase in income levels

As time is passing by, people are earning more than what people used to earn in the earlier days. With advancements in every field, the income levels are rising. The earning class today prefers to invest heavily in comfort and luxury. Gone are the days where each family would have a sole bread winner. The culture of two or more people earning in the family had led to a rise in the family incomes leading to a higher disposable income which is invested towards luxury.

Stress-free living

Despite the purchasing power, people prefer to buy luxurious apartments than independent homes. This is because apartments offer lesser maintenance. The society and the apartments are well maintained and make the life of the home owners hassle free.

Community living

Luxury apartments offer great community living with like-minded people. There are avenues of entertainment including one theatres and community halls. These give place for celebrations and festivities.

High-end amenities

Luxury apartments are meant to provide the best of amenities. The huge cost of these apartments gets justified by the sports and recreation facilities that they provide. There are well maintained grounds for each sport along with other fitness avenues including fully equipped gymnasiums and world class yoga practice.

High level safety and security systems

The least a family would expect in a luxurious apartment is water tight security. Apartments like these provide extended security which ensures a safe living intl the confines of luxury living.

Rising demand of mid-segment homes

India is no longer a nation known for having the largest population below the poverty line. The rising income levels clubbed with the after effects of Covid-19, are leading to the belief that the millennials will significantly contribute to home buying in the near future. The affordability of homes has certainly gone up in the recent times. The low interest rates have also been a boost.

Small families, independent working professionals and youngsters are looking at buying rather than renting. They look forward to having smaller homes that they own. These homes are compact and easy to maintain. The cost of maintenance is comparatively low owing to small size of the house.

Mid-sized homes are the easiest to buy or even rent. They have a low-ticket size and come with all the basic amenities that a household needs. This includes a reasonable floor plan, gated community, sports and recreation facilities.

Keeping the work from home culture in mind, maximum buyers when looking for a home, focus on 2BHK or 3BHK homes. These kind of flats usually fall under this category. Mid-sized apartments these days, offer the facility of community halls and garden spaces. These can be utilised by the residents for the purpose of their get-togethers and functions. This way people can get some time off their busy schedules.

Mid-sized homes are definitely on the rise, which is

Mid-sized segment is one of the only segment that gives a combination of both affordability and convenience for anyone looking to have an abode.

Looking to invest in real estate – know more on REITs

India has always been a land of real estate. As an investment option, real estate in India is preferred more than any other place. This could be in residential sector with properties bought for the purpose of consumption and in the commercial sector for consumption or earning rental income. For long, investment in commercial buildings has been a hassle for the common man with all the hefty documentation and clearances. At the same time, the high ticket can pose a problem for small investors.

Until sometime back, very few investors could include real estate in their investment portfolio. Thanks to a fairly new vehicle, REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust), investment in commercial sector is possible even for small investors. REITs are stock market listed investments that allow exposure to real estate without having to purchase or manage properties. Originated in the USA, REITs have now gained popularity in other places as well. They are similar to mutual funds as they allow a pool of investors to invest their funds. The underlying asset in case of REITs is the real estate holding.

The concept of REITs came to India as late as 2007. The investment vehicle is yet to pick momentum in India. REITs have the ownership of multiple properties and they operate them to generate income. REITs invest in such properties that can earn and generate an income. The amount received in the pooled fund is used for acquiring properties and generating income. Currently India has 3 REITs which are regulated by SEBI. Other big players are expected to enter the market soon.

There are various advantages of investing in REITs including good capital appreciation, diversification of portfolio, chances of earning dividend income as well as good liquidity. REITs are new to India and haven’t gained popularity. Gradually, investors looking to get exposure in real estate might consider REITs as a lucrative vehicle for growth.

A seamless transition

From wooden carvings and lime work to modern day facades, Ahmedabad amasses all and stands strong with an unwavering charm. With its foundation laid back in 1411 A.D. by Ahmed Shah, the city oozes variety in every possible way.

The transition from old to new Ahmedabad is effortless. Lying on the banks of Sabarmati, we have happily created pseudo names – Nadi ke is paar and Nadi ke us paar. These names are simple yet indicative of different parts of the city. Nadi ke is paar boasts of the rich cultural heritage. Sidi Saiyyed Mosque exudes Hindu craftsmanship with hints of Persian Culture. The carvings on the havelis in the pol area are symbolic of the old age architecture. The beauty of the city is in the way the two parts get connected with bridges.

On one side of the bridge lies the old Ahmedabad which still smells of lip smacking street food, bustling markets loaded with varieties of every household item, jewellery shops and of course the railway station.On the other end lies the modern or the new Ahmedabad which is adorned with tall buildings with attractive facades, large and open spaces, playgrounds, international schools, hospitals, shopping malls and eateries.

The best part of Ahmedabad is its people who are spirited and attached to the roots. The most populous city of Gujarat is full of people who are proud to be Amdavadis. Some have happily migrated to the modern day city for ease of lifestyle but their hearts still reside in the old city which is home to their childhood memories. Shopping for family weddings must happen from Dhalgarwad and Raipur is still the place to go for the best bhajiyas in town. We prefer to send our kids to schools in the newer part of the city but we still prefer to shop and eat at Manek Chowk. Best medical care is available here in the multispecialty hospitals but Kali Chaudas is still the day to visit Bhadrakali Temple.

This undying spirit of the Amdavadis makes the city special. A city that has its roots in heritage and has today bloomed into a city with a beautiful skyline that is fulfilling dreams and aspiration of all.

18 years of pioneering the real estate game

Shilp Group is defined by the years of hard work that we have put in every project. It’s not a single day’s process, it takes countless hours of uncompelled patience and the determination of an artist, only then the true essence of craftsmanship, that only Shilp guarantees is realised.

18 years of excellence in real estate, each project is carefully crafted, just like a sculptor steadily moulds his sculpture, conveying a change of perspective in every nook and cranny, working devoutly day and night to get the perfect picture.

Being a pioneer in the real estate industry, we fabricate each structure with equal devotion, making spaces that are not only luxurious but efficient and meaningful. The spaces that we create are not only bricks and concrete but dedication and love.

With every passing year, we have worked on perfecting our sculpture. We have defined and discovered new possibilities. We have churned out ideas that were only ideals before. We have put perseverance in each belief and realized it into art.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the journey of 18 years, yun hi Shilpkar nahi bante.

Shilaj – the most preferred choice for all

Ahmedabad has seen massive infrastructural development in the past few years. The face of real estate has totally changed and the city’s skyline looks very different from what it was a decade ago. We have seen the popular areas shifting from Navrangpura to Naranpura and Bodakdev followed by Vastrapur, Sindhu Bhavan Road and Ambli. The talk of the town, however, is Shilaj. In Ahmedabad, Shilaj is the most sought after place to invest and reside. There are some top most reasons for this:

Geography

Located in the western part of Ahmedabad, Shilaj is surrounded by buzzing areas like Shela, Bopal and Thaltej. Geographically, it is in the centre with Sanathal-Sarkhej and Vaishnodevi. With a metro station expected in Thaltej in the near future, residents of Shilaj will be able to enjoy the benefits of transport easily.

Connectivity

Shilaj is the most connected area amongst the upcoming ones of Ahmedabad. It is connected well with both S.P.Ring Road and S.G.Highway. This gives ease of transport to people residing there. Airport is just a 30 minutes drive from Shilaj which makes travel also convenient.

Lifestyle

Shilaj is definitely an area that is becoming Ahmedabad’s choicest places to live. It strikes a perfect balance between residential and commercial projects. Being the obvious pick for Amdavadis, Shilaj has everything to offer. From leading schools and hospitals to supermarkets, restaurants and clubs, there is everything that a family needs. It is a safe place to live and offers a relaxing life away from the rush. With leading business parks in the vicinity, the place is also the best bet for your business needs.

The Roots by Shilp – your weekend route

What comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘weekend home’? The first thing that pops up is the distance that you must travel to reach your weekend home. That often dampens your spirit. Imagine a weekend home that offers nature, luxury and relaxation just 12 kms from the city. The Roots by Shilp is one such dream come true.

Located at Moti Devati, just 12 kms away from the Shantipura Circle, the Roots by Shilp is the most sought-after weekend destination. Connected well with Sanand, Changodar and the Bavla belt, this residential plotting scheme is just the one that you were always looking for. At a time when the grey clouds of pandemic still hover above us, Shilp Group has come up with weekend homes that are built to give you relaxation and rejuvenate every muscle of your mind and body.

Along with connectivity being an attraction, there are many other goodies to offer in this plotting scheme. The planning of the Roots is immaculate and gives the feeling of weekend home and not just a mere row house set up. The roads within the scheme are wide enough to refrain from any unwanted U-turns which cause unnecessary trouble to the residents. The roads are curved which give the perfect feeling of a farmhouse in the confines of nature away from the city. There are no dead-ends, and the intricate planning ensures that each unit gets to enjoy the open garden views. There are absolutely no hindrances or blockages when it comes to openness and serene views.

There are a variety of sizes available in the farmhouses – 1000, 1500 and 2000 sq. yards. Not only that, the buyers can also avail the facility of construction. With 68 villages coming under AUDA, development near this area is expected to happen at a fast pace.

It is always nice to find that place where you can just go and relax, you’ve just found the one with ‘The Roots by Shilp.’

4 reasons to invest in Shela, Ahmedabad

Shela, locate in the western periphery of Ahmedabad is surely a sought after location for investment. The place has a lot to offer. With Ahmedabad expanding towards the outskirts, Shela has been spotted as a preferred area. We can owe this attraction to many factors. Some of the reasons are:

New TP Scheme

Shela has got the approval of three additional road stretches as part of its designated TP scheme. These roads are for the upcoming residential areas, institutional zones and commercial streets. These TPs will be 12 metres, 18 metres and 30 metres wide, respectively.

Connectivity

Located along the Sardar Patel Ring Road, Shela offers superb connectivity to SG Highway, Satellite, Vastrapur, Bopal, Ghuma, Ambli and Makarba. Despite being on the outskirts, the area offers comfort in terms of being in the vicinity of the buzzing city.

Residential Zone

Shela is primarily a residential zone. More than 80% of the construction in the area is into residential schemes. This makes the area more peaceful for the purpose of living. Small and essential shops can be easily seen everywhere to ensure the daily shopping needs of the residents.

Neighbourhood

Shela offers wonderful access to the premier club of Ahmedabad – Club O7. A membership at Club O7 guarantees fun, recreation and fitness for the entire family. There are numerous supermarkets in the vicinity to ensure daily needs along with top schools for kids.

Shilp Group is coming up with two massive residential schemes at Shela – Shilp Ananta and Shilp Revanta. These are 2 and 3BHK homes respectively, located in the heart of the area with Club O7 in the vicinity. The houses boast of never-heard-before 70+ amenities in an affordable scheme. The schemes are under construction and the sample houses are ready to pay a visit.

Sneh Shilp Foundation Investing in People, Nurturing Love

‘Sneh Shilp Foundation’, an initiative of Shilp Group has been established with the purpose of extending a helping hand to the ones in need. Shilp Group has given some marvellous buildings and has contributed immensely to the city’s skyline. All the way here, the group has been winning the hearts of people and has created credibility for itself. It is now time to reciprocate and give back to the society all the possible love, care and happiness.

Our aim is to make a difference in the lives of people. India is a huge country with diverse needs. Evils like poverty, hunger, unemployment, lack of education continue to rule the country. Unless we come forward and start thinking consciously of helping the needy, these evils will only magnify.

At Sneh Shilp Foundation, the team is built with a bunch of individuals who are empathetic and enjoy the experience of giving. The team understands what it means to bring a smile on faces. The foundation has been carrying out initiatives to serve the people through multiple food and grocery donation drives. Old age homes have been provided shelter to protect against the harsh weather. The foundation has also taken steps to save the environment with the help of tree plantation drives. A blood donation drive also came in very handy during the COVID crisis.

Sneh Shilp Foundation has been established with the purpose of helping people to live the life they truly deserve.
