Apartments and villas are coming up in plenty.So, are ‘gated communities’.

But do we still live as a community?Do we know who our neighbours are?Do we celebrate their festivals with them?Do our children run around and grow up together?

Are we more nuclear than we think we are?Are we losing touch with the way we used to live?

Aaladamara, is a village.In the tradition of South Indian villages.Built around an auspicious banyan tree.(‘Aaladamara’, in Kannada.)Right behind Electronic City.Bangalore’s new economy landmark.It’s community living, as we knew it.

An elevated highway, a peripheral ring road.All these are coming up, leading to Aaladamara. Pre-launch prices are Rs.1200 till end-September ’08.

Smart Leisure

Along the Mysore - Wayanad belt, we are planning a chain of resorts that cater to wildlife and eco-tourism.This is part of the Smart Leisure venture.

Wayanad - Mudumalai

India is among the youngest nations in the world with an estimated 60% of the population under the age of 30. This, coupled with a growth in urban migration, amplifies the need for quality residential space.

A booming economy and the highest percentage wage increases in the world also place considerable pressure on the hospitality sector.

These conditions dictate our way ahead. And our way ahead, is what we call Going Smart. Smart Spaces, Smart Suites and Smart Leisure.

Damden Smart Spaces is designed for a market in which the average home buyer’s age is 32 (down from 45 not very long ago). Well-designed homes in the Rs. 25 lakh range that reach out the younger customer buying his first home. This, is where the opportunity is.

In the hospitality sector, the shortage of rooms in our cities has severely impacted costs. Smart Suites will cater to the business traveller. These are boutique hotels with smart space management and smart resources.

Smart Leisure however, has nothing to do with economy or the budget traveller. Smart Leisure is for the discerning traveller. Damden is developing a chain of eco-friendly resorts and spas in the Mysore – Wayanad belt which targets a growing domestic and foreign population that demands a unique experience.

While everyone has concentrated on projects in the Rs. 35 lakh+ segment, there remains a huge opportunity in the Rs. 20–25 lakh segment. This segment comprises two kinds of customers. The customer who does not have the budget for aRs. 35 lakh+ home. As also the young buyer, who finds it easier to come up with the downpayment and the EMIs for a Rs. 20–25 lakh first home.

This segment comprises the bulk of the new economy brigade. Smart Spaces enables the young, nuclear family to purchase its first home rather than pay exorbitant rents.

Smart Spaces are smaller, contemporary homes. With easy access to new-economy campuses. With innovative utilization of space. With Plug & Play facilities. With energy efficiency. With modular kitchens and efficient storage. Designed by leading international experts in small-space architecture.

Living spaces with every facility and amenity. Pool, gym, play areas, jogging tracks, club-house, open areas. With a few added features that are in keeping with new lifestyles. Like a launderette, store, café, business centre, hi-end theatre, supervisors etc. that make life extremely convenient and different.

The first Damden Smart Space is in Mysore, along the Ring Road where the new economy campuses are. For the home-buyer, close to work. For the investor, more opportunity for rentals.

This will be our model for Damden Smart Spaces across the South.

Smart Spaces

It is estimated that Bangalore today needs an additional 20,000 rooms. (This is in addition to the boom in service apartments.) The needs of the business traveller, a recent phenomenon, are largely unmet.

The business traveller is an opportunity that we have identified for growth. Judiciously chosen locations and innovatively planned facilities can help us make a mark in the hospitality sector.

The average business traveller needs facilities that he can rely on for efficient functioning. Not frills and luxury.

Primary here, is location. No one really wants to spend half his time travelling. Both in Bangalore and Mysore, we have identified locations close to new economy centres. Koramangala in Bangalore and Vijayanagar in Mysore.

Damden Smart Suites will be a combination of contemporary design and state-of-the-art facilities. With services designed for efficiency. Smart Suites will have all that a full-service hotel offers, minus the frills.

Soon, we intend to replicate the Smart Suites model in the other cities of the South as well.

Smart Suites

Back

Smart Leisure is an effort to create a quality, unique experience for the traveller to the South. Towards this, we are planning a chain of spas and wellness resorts in the Mysore – Wayanad belt.

Each of these resorts will have a unique theme and will cater to the discerning traveller. The effort is to maintain the natural ecosystem and local flavour of each of these destinations.

Two projects have already been initiated as part of Damden Leisure. The Kabini Reservoir project in Mudumalai will be a wildlife resort with access to the wildlife sanctuaries of the Cauvery Basin. The Banasurasagar project in Wayanad, set on the quiet banks of an earthen dam, will be a holistic wellness resort based on traditional Ayurvedic practices.

Both these and the other projects initiated by Damden Leisure will speak to a select audience that seeks to experience a destination rather than see it through a viewfinder.
