'Mangalore Hills' – Ushering in the Smart City concept in Mangalore


Daijiworld Media Network - Business Desk

Mangalore, Oct 14: The concept of “smart city” has gained momentum ever since the Narendra Modi government at the centre has taken the initiative to set up 100 smart cities across the country. Interestingly Mangalore city has already attained the tagline as a “smart city” as it encompasses all aspects to augment its growth process and make way for high quality of life. Be it education, healthcare, information technology, housing and infrastructure development, Mangalore has been the trailblazer, true to the enterprising nature of Mangaloreans.

Keeping in line with this enterprising nature, “Mangalore Hills”, an offering by Mangalore Internet City Pvt. Ltd., is leading the way for Mangalore’s growth-oriented model in the housing and IT sector. The company is developing a cool pristine 75 acre gated community project comprising independent villas, ultra-modern independent bungalows with private facilities, apartment buildings and an IT Park consisting of IT / BT offices, a hotel with convention centre, International school, medical centre, a retail hub and other auxiliary developmental initiatives to fuel its growth trajectory. This is Mangalore Internet City’s first and most go-getting project and is sure to alter the landscape of the city in a big way when the entire project takes final shape. This is the first project of its kind in Mangalore inclusive of commercial development, housing, education, healthcare, hospitality, entertainment and jobs – a project that can sustain a huge community on its own. The independent villas at Mangalore Hills will exude class and opulent style and will be in a league of its own. We are in fact trying to create a live-work-play kind of environment here, a novel concept in Mangalore. The project is sure to make Mangalore a smart city ahead of others”, says Ivan Fernandes, Founder & Managing Director of Mangalore Internet City.









The WOW Factor

Coming up in vast stretch of 75 acres of serene and sprawling land at Shakthinagar, off Bondel-Vamanjoor road, this new address in the town will have three entry points. However, the main entrance to this abode will be from Bondel side which is in close proximity to the Airport road, a convenience not many uber class projects can boast of in Mangalore. A 60 feet broad four-lane road in Bondel opens up the doors to the abode on earth called Mangalore Hills and you are sure to be bowled over by the beauty, magnificence, quietude and the bucolic milieu, giving you a feeling as if you are far away from the humdrum of city life. But in reality you will be living in the heart of the city with close proximity to all the conveniences and luxuries of a city life.

What makes Mangalore Hills distinctive and a class apart is that it is a perfect blending of architectural brilliance and splendour. It offers a WOW factor with its scenic surrounding views, modern-day glamour and dazzling design that adds to its irresistible charm. It elegantly fuses lines on the contemporary with the exuberant decorative Spanish architecture to make an avant-garde statement. The blending of Spanish architecture and Mangalorean aesthetics is sure to make Mangalore Hills the real show stopper and envy of others. “This is going to be a mini Mangalore within Mangalore, creatively designed and structured for a blissful living. We have created necessary infrastructure to crystallize it with the splendid housing enclave. It is going to be a picture-perfect blend of opulence, comfort, cutting edge style and sophisticated ambience” asserts Ivan Fernandes.

True to the buzz the project has generated, living in Mangalore Hills is going to be like a home close to nature to the few fortunate dwellers who are sure to experience a heavenly feeling of living in peace, tranquillity and comfort giving you a breather from the chaotic and prosaic city life. It is planned and crafted with a futuristic vision to provide you with an environment that you can aptly call as your own private haven. With the residential enclave occupying only 35 percent of the area the enormously huge open area and eco-friendly environs will fuse freshness in its aura. It is a project inspired by nature and envisioned by man and the result has been splendorous.

Though the developmental work of the project began in 2012 the construction of the residential project started in 2013. The project is being developed in three phases and will have independent bungalows, a posh club house, row villas, ultra luxurious villas, IT Park and other auxiliary projects. Phase I of the project is in the finishing stage and 45 independent bungalows which form part of the 1stphase will be ready for occupation by March 2015.

The second phase of construction will begin only after the residents occupy these villas. The row houses will form the next phase of the project. Ivan emphasizes “We are not in a hurry to finish the project. Our primary focus is to provide an ideal, tranquil and ultra-luxurious gateway to those who seek luxury, style, comfort and global standard amenities”.

The next phase of the project is what has been termed as “eye of Mangalore Hills” namely ultra luxurious independent bungalows for the affluent. Eye of Mangalore Hills will have 15 sophisticated and lavish independent bungalows with private facilities to ensure fulsome indulgence and privacy to the dwellers.

The III phase of the project namely the IT Park will commence only in 2016 though work on one of the IT buildings is planned for next year. Other subsequent amenities such as school, mall, health care centres, hotels, recreation centres will come up in the area. The entire project is expected to be completed around 2020. Since the gestation period is quite long the promoters have taken every possible effort to design the project to suit the evolving needs of the customers.

Abode to privacy- loving- souls

The villas are located at different heights on a sloping hill ensuring privacy to each bungalow. Unique features provided to the dwellers include 100% power back up for the entire villa, underground drainage, power supply, solar water, water recycling, rain water harvesting, waste management facility, large parks and colourful landscaped boulevards replete with thematic gardens with patios and lifestyle facilities that includes a host of sporting facilities, both, indoor and outdoor. The crowning glory of this residential enclave is the 82000 sqft Club House which can be rightly called as a treasure house of amenities. This fully air-conditioned Club House is the largest and most fabulous one in the coastal region and is sure to open new vistas in luxury and lavish living. The giant senate hall of the club house will accommodate 800 people in a round table seating at a time and another 500 people can overspill into the lawn area. It will have a business centre, guest rooms, lavish indoor and outdoor sports facilities, amphitheatre and other recreational facilities like restaurant, swimming pool, multipurpose courts, apart from the customary facilities. The membership of this independently managed Club House will be open to the residents of Mangalore Hills, to those who stay and work here for the various organizations in the IT Park and also to outsiders.

Independent villas being developed at Mangalore Hills range from 3500 sq feet to 6500 sq feet with a starting price of Rs. 1.75 crores. The company is eyeing successful Mangaloreans working in diverse parts of the globe who want to enjoy similar global lifestyle amenities for their kith and kin to buy a property in this coveted hamlet. It is also an idyllic location for these globally enterprising Indians who want to return to their motherland and settle in their birthplace as they are used to lavish and classy global standard lifestyle amenities. General Manager of Mangalore Hills, Noel Pinto points out, “Mangalore has emerged as a cosmopolitan city and has been witnessing vigorous growth in the real estate sector and in terms of infrastructure. In the changed scenario successful Mangaloreans are looking for a dwelling place in their native to complement their global success and to the lifestyle they are used to. Taking this factor into consideration Mangalore Hills has been conceived and executed by adhering to the needs and expectations of this successful global Indian community who wants to have a living abode with an international flavour in their native land”.

The project is designed by leading architects, Jurong India, a subsidiary of Jurong International, Singapore known for their elegant architecture and flawless finishes in design. The project management is provided by one of the world’s leading consultants - CBRE, which ensures that the company is able to take crucial decisions at the opportune time, reduce costs, create value and improve performance. The association with global architects and consultants has brought value addition to the project with the adoption of modern and global standards in the project.

Ivan declares that apart from being a classy residential abode the project is conceived to generate employment especially in the commercial area. “We are expecting to generate employment to around 5000 skilled people and this will give a big boost to the local economy. Now our youngsters go elsewhere in search of employment on completion of education. We want to stop this brain drain by providing a proper outlet for them to get gainful employment”.
