Developers who have been given land in this area include Supertech, Amrapali and Gaursons India Limited.
Gaursons have been allotted 130 acres to develop a town- ship. "This is perhaps the first township that has been allotted by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority," says Rahul Gaur, managing director, Gaursons India Limited.

Besides residential, the township will also have com- mercial and institutional areas. Almost 45 acres have been left as green areas.
Saviour, another developer, is a partner in the project.

The housing products on offer are three types of two- BHK: 915 sq ft, 1,060 sq ft and 1,175 sq ft and three categories of three-BHK apartments: 1,270 sq ft, 1,405 sq ft and 1,480 sq ft. There will be 15-20 storeys on offer. The flats are priced at Rs 16 lakh onwards.

Besides apartments for retail, plots are being offered
to Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) where "we are offer- ing tailor-made apartments for govern- ment and PSU employees," says Gaur.
The township will also comprise a sta- dium offering facilities such as football, cricket and badminton academies besides schools, hospitals, multiplexes, hotels and offices. "We will open the retail sale of residential units within 15- 20 days. Construction will be spread over four phases. It will take us about five years to develop the entire town- ship. The Cooperative Group Housing Scheme will be delivered in the next 27 months," adds Manoj Gaur, joint man- aging director of the group.

The Supertech group has also launched Eco Village, a project that's spread over 50 acres. It will be con- structed in two phases and is expected to be complete in 30 months. On offer are one- to four-BHK apartments with areas ranging from 550 sq ft to 2,275 sq ft. The cost of the apartments start at Rs 9.75 lakh "Noida Extension will become the next preferable destination soon in terms of connectivity because of the proposed metro line and the infrastruc- ture development in the area," says R K Arora, chairman and managing direc- tor, Supertech Group.

There would be both high rises (plus- 15 storeys) and low rises (plus-five storeys) in the Eco Village and it's to be completed in four phases, the first one getting over in 15 months. "We hope to complete the formalities within one month and construction will begin in the first week of May," says Arora.
