Gaurav Puri, vice-chairman and chief architect of Ansal Buildwell,
explains to Our correspondent how Noida and Gurgaon are neck and neck in
the race to be the most sought-after residential destination in the NCR.
Excerpts from the interview:
What according to you is affordable housing? Many developers are using
this term to market their product. Isn’t this a gimmick?
Yes it is. But a developer’s duty is to provide affordable housing by
understanding the city first. The prices shouldn’t be too low neither it
should be too high. One can save on the costs by tackling the optional
features. Like for our project we give the flooring as optional.
Although, when we design a project, we try to provide such floors which
are pleasing to the eyes and acceptable by all. But if somebody comes
with some special requirement, we do accordingly.
But we do not encourage such a trend. This will create various
configurations of houses and condos within the same project, resulting
in multicoloured, multifaceted houses.
