Plans

Master Plan

It’s a small 4.3 acre plot yet it has been designed well, a C shaped design where 4 towers are slotted in. The good thing is that there is distance between all 4 towers allowing cross ventilation within the complex. The plot is a rectangle and is Vastu compliant to a lot of extent. The elevation at this moment is not finalized though it seems. Recommended flats are on the lower floors if you are going for a garden facing flat or higher floor if you are going for a non-garden facing view. Mind you there are MHADA towers coming up next to the Radiance site so views might get blocked. As on date the same are open. Where you might see the sea on one side and lush Aarey green from the higher floors of these towers. The project boasts of top of the line amenities:

• Air-conditioned apartments
• Imported marble flooring.
• 8 feet high laminate finished entrance door and paint finished internal doors
• Synchronised light at the main door & Home automation system comprising of mood lighting in all rooms.
• Granite flooring in kitchen with Granite main platform
• Imported marble/European designer tile dado up to door height
• Premium international sanitary and CP fittings

Floor Plan

A look at the 4 BHK plan (a rare typology in this Andheri, Goregaon belt) and you will be pleasantly surprised. It’s majestic. It opens into a huge 500 sq. ft. living room with an additional deck space. This is Luxury! Need I say more, 4 spacious bedrooms, a servant room, and huge kitchen? These are palaces in the sky, if you have the budget go for it.

Now before we look at the other floor plans let me tell you that there are 2 wings having separate configurations. The 3 BHK’s follow the same pattern, they are well designed and spacious. Decently sized bedrooms 140 sq. ft. and a living cum dining room of 330 sq. ft. Its good space provided by the developer in a cramped city like Mumbai.

There are multiple types of 2 BHK’s. The ones in A wing are highly recommended for end use, they are spacious and designed well, the ones in C wing are small and seem to be designed only for investors.
