its beautiful location. Moreover, the site is easily accessible from all the nerve centres of Pune. The project has brought my creativity to the fore which can be seen in the various amenities planned in the township along with world class infrastructure,” says Gajendra Pawar, Chairman and Managing Director of the Pinnacle Group. His wife Sadhana, who is actively involved in the company, has helped ideate the project and bring in elements from the women’s point of view that are critical for a good, modern residential complex.

residential buildings. The fi rst two buildings will come up in Phase I. Th is phase consists of 200 apartments of 2BHK and will be ready in two and half years.

The complex also has car wash facilities, ambulance services, a day care centre, play zone for children, health and fitness facilities and convenience stores. Neelanchal will feature an in-house doctor who will be on-call 24X7. There

A tennis court with coaching facilities, a jogging track and an international standard swimming pool is also part of the Neelanchal project. Says Sadhana Pawar, Director of the company, “We are offering these need based amenities because they are the requirements of the hour. Amenities such as day care centre, a spare kitchen, senior citizens residences, essentials shopping centre and a library for children, etc are the highlights of the project.” The company will keep on upgrading the facilities as per the need. The project also caters to the DINK (Dual Income No Kids) couples and those who are looking to settle down in a place which is well within their budget. Pinnacle Neelanchal offers them two options- compact and large apartments of 887 sq ft and 1065 sq ft,

One of the rich features of this locality is the swift connectivity to the Katraj – Dehu Road bypass leading to the Mumbai – Pune Expressway at one end and the southern exits of the city towards Satara, Kolhapur and Bangalore. Real estate experts point out that proximity to the Hinjewadi IT Park, Aundh, Baner and the Savitribai Phule Pune University, is an added advantage for the development of this area. “Also, the hills laden with trees provide a good view to the residents from their balconies,” said Gajendra Pawar, CMD, Pinnacle Group. “Sus Road and its neighbourhood started witnessing major construction activity in the last few years. In past two years, realty prices in the mid segment residential projects located in Baner – Aundh belt escalated and Sus Road provided an alternative for the development as Baner Annex,” said Piyali Dasgupta, VP Communications, Cushman and Wakefield.

Good roads were constructed here when the city hosted the Commonwealth Youth Games in 2008 and many international dignitaries visited the Balewadi Sports Complex. Along with roads, the area beautification and infrastructure upgradation was undertaken giving an impetus to the development of Sus Road, Pashan, Baner and Balewadi areas. Although Sus and Pashan were included in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) Development Plan (DP) in 1987, the major thrust in development was witnessed after the Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park started taking shape at neighbouring Hinjewadi village.

I always wanted to buy a good property where I can live with my family peacefully. My first criterion was to be away from the maddening crowd, noise, pollution and the traffic. When I read about the new project in this area I was interested. It is a stone’s throw away from the highway and yet has a peaceful neighbourhood. Moreover, I heard about the Pinnacle Group from my friends and relatives and wanted to buy one of their properties. Today being the first day of the launch, I have come to check the property and to meet the owner Mr Gajendra Pawar. The flats are beautifully constructed, quite spacious and is a good value for money. Hemant Dawre, IT professional

I am planning to buy a property because of the location. The township has been constructed amidst greenery with tall trees all around. The 50,000 square feet lush tropical forest with campsites, tents and barbeque is an added attraction. The meandering paths beneath the trees leading to the various corners of the estate are alluring. It is a piece of jewel amongst serene surrounding. That is what is attracting me to ‘ Neelanchal’. Also, amenities in the township like rainwater harvesting, vermiculture pits, day care centres and senior citizen’s housing are determining factors here. Nikhil Bhise, IT professional

I have visited many properties like Kalapataru and 9 Sadashivpeth. The properties spell of quality. It shows how much efforts Mr Pawar and his team have put in building this property. It is natural for me to drop by this township today to witness the unveiling of a beautiful township. The flats have been well constructed, quite spacious for a small family. It is a good value for money. The fittings and furniture have been chosen aptly and complements the rooms. The small balconies add to the beauty of the flats. I have made up my mind. I want to be a proud owner of one of these beautiful flats. Omkar Garud, Marketing consultant
