Rt Hindustani, but there are always constraints regarding height of buildings.

Since the International Airport is bang right inside the city, there is limitation to height possible. This area, Kowdiar is just outside the radius of 6km from ARP (Airport Reference Point), where the height could be between 60m & 90m. And this is with respect to the MSL. Trivandrum being mosltly a hilly & rolling region, most places have site elevations like 10m-30m. So effective height decreases.

For example, the new project of Skyline, Cyber Palms is after the first zone of 6kms radius. There, a height of up to 80m is possible from MSL. But the site elevation of the road is 17m. So effectively some 60m is possible which means about 20 floors. And luckily it was just outside the 'take off cone'

Recently, it is learnt that perhaps one floor may have to be curtailed. It is planned to be B+G+20+terrace floor (Total 23). But since 'it is on the edge', the authorities may ask to cut down one floor which means the 'occupiable floors' could only be 19.

And 20 + floors could be possible only as you go further north. There is chance only in this direction, ie towards Technopark & Technocity since those areas are the developing ones, about 15-20 kms away from the present CBD of city.

Sudheesh,

The one near DPI looks impressive

Are land prices are so expensive? or cities does not spread that much horizontally?
Or population burtsting? Why Kerala cities has so many residential high rise towers?
I dont see any other cities with population of 1mil or close to have so many skyscrapers other than Kochi, Trivandrum,and Mangalore(not kerala though).
Do people live in such apartments? or just is it just an investments from NRKs?

@R2IChennai - Lol, people do live in these apartments, lots of people. You are right that these days Trivandrum and Kochi have begun a healthy high-rise boom outstripping most other cities in the 1-1.5 million pop range. Some of this is fuelled by NRK investments, but increasingly more people are shifting to flats, especially the younger generations. However, cities in Kerala have good horizontal spread which is a reason that the proliferation of high-rises has been slow till recently. In fact, Trivandrum is expanding outwards at a prodigious rate, especially in the direction of the IT Corridor, as can be seen from the steady addition of areas to the metro corporation.

Cheers,
Ajay

Hi R2IChennai,

Kerala is very much different from other Indian states. Here the fact is that the population is rather spread than concentrated in cities. So you will find a major portion of the state, say from Trivandrum in south to Thrissur, an extended urban area. And yes, the land prices too are not cheaper, perhaps comparable with metros.

It is not the bursting population in cities, but the 'lifestyles' that make highrises appealing. Here apartments are luxury and not meant as a means for 'mass housing'. So the added features like Healthclubs, gyms and other amenities make it more attractive. And it is pretty costly too, starting from about 20 lakhs for a 2 bed apt to almost one crore. ( Apartments in Kowdiar in Trivandrum & Marine Drive in Kochi costs this much)

The apartment culture was started by NRKs, who saw it as a good investment which yields good rentals. In Trivandrum, the rentals of apartments starts from around 8000 pm to about a whopping 1.25 lakh pm for fully furnished penthouses.

You can see that even cities with population about 3 lakhs like Thrissur or towns like Kottayam with 1 lakhs population sporting highrises in the 15-20 floor bracket, putting even big cities in India to shame. Other than the NCR, Kolkata, Greater Mumbai, it would be Kerala which sees max highrises. And if you take 'Percapita' penetration of highrises, Kerala would be topping the charts.

In cities like Trivandrum & Kochi, the market is NRKs, businessman, and IT people. In other centres, it is mainly an NRK market.

And the attraction of living in a highrise is much in Kerala, you would be sarrounded by clean, green environs. Many of the apartment views from Trivandrum make you feel that you are living in a hill resort, rather than a busy city.

Sudheesh..

Pls post the Details of kalpana Heights here.

Well, Kalpana Heights is not a true highrise, but yes, being a commercial structure, it could be close to 32m height.

And there seems two more floors, for parking, as basement, not visible from the front elevation.

This one state, Kerala, continues to stun. Barring Maharashtra (and that too not very definitely) I am sure that no other state in India has so many cities/towns with highrises. And "per capita highrise" is probably higher than even Mumbai in Kochi Trivandrum and smaller towns (my impression by SSC). Amazing.

Ya, it is true.. :)

There are highrises even in small towns like Thiruvalla. See, Kottayam, a town with a population of 60725 is having a 21 floor highrise..

And in Kerala apartments are not meant for mass housing, but luxury living. Fitness centre, swimming pool etc are regular amenities in most of the apartments.

With several new apartment projects coming up near Technopark area and in and around Pattom, is the supply gonna exceed demand in Trivandrum?

Infact the supply is far less than the demand. We have a waiting period of about 2 years..If the supply exceeded demand, there could be much 'ready to occupy' flats.

sudheesh,how much is the approximate cost of a fully furnished 3 bedroom flat in kawdiar

sudheesh,how much is the approximate cost of a fully furnished 3 bedroom flat in kawdiar

Arun,

The average rate in Kowdiar is Rs.2500/- per sft. In Kowdiar, you will find mostly large apartments, with 3, 4 BHK ones and then duplex and penthouses. So the bare cost of the apartment would be around Rs.50 lakhs. Then carpark, service tax, other deposits/regn fees/welfare funds will cost 5 lakhs more. For this price you would be getting a flat without cupboards, kitchen cabinets etc. For a flat costing this much, the clients will spend minimum Rs. 5 lakhs more on this.

I think apartments at Heera Velmont Palace were costing about 80 lakhs. Now SFS Fairway has apartments from 5th floor onwards costing 1 crore each, and they are sold out, with just bhoomipooja over.

At Cyber Palms, Akkulam, about 15 kms away from city centre, the rates have now touched Rs.2065/- per sft.(Our Ajay would be a happy man, since he saw appreciation of Rs.400 per sft in few months). A new project SFS WATERSCAPES will be launched in a few weeks which will also be priced Rs.2000+ per sft.

thanks buddy for the information....i have a two bed room flat in pandits colony,my dad is planning to buy one more flat near kowdiar area,thats why i asked.anyway thanks a lot.keep updating the threads.

chetta,
money don't mean nothing does it?
50 lakhs + 10lakhs just for shelter?

Yes Vadi, rates are higher nowadays. BTW that 60 lakhs is not the top end. It is the rate for smaller, beginning level apts.

BTW an Apartment is more than a shelter. Unlike other places in India, an Apartment in TVM or Kerala is not for mass housing. It is more for a luxury living. Common man normally build independant houses. For example, an Independant house, with 1500 sft modern finishes will be costing about 22-25 lakhs including land value (around 12 lakhs as construction cost and around 10 lakhs for 5 cents) . Land value is an average 2 lakhs, but yes, not prime areas. Mean while an apartment of the same size would be costing around 35-45 lakhs.

Advantages of Apartments are.

1) The views would be enchanting, esp in TVM. You will feel like living in a hill station
2) Lesser radiated heat from the ground, more breeze.
3) Security
4) Amenities like swimming pool, health club etc
5) Mostly good locations.

Looking at all these skyscrapers mushrooming in and around trivandrum city do you guys see a depletion of green cover at a fast pace or is the government offsetting the cutting of trees with
an afforestation program to balance the green cover in relation to the mushrooming
concrete jungle.

^^Monyam, the aerial view of TVM city will be showing a big carpet of green and highrises popping their head out. The thing is that it is densely built beneath the green canopy.

There is no rule as such of planting trees.

My belief is that the city will be still green even all these highrises are taking shape. And it is good to see buildings growing taller up to 36 stories, thereby avoiding the depletion of more green cover if that built up has to be accomodated in low rises.

Scorpio.....duplex flats right...dont looks like a highrise....

^^With residential ten floors, it could never be a highrise, only a midrise.

^^With residential ten floors, it could never be a highrise, only a midrise.

Thanx sudeeshji for the clarification.....but the apartment has duplex flats right..

^^With residential ten floors, it could never be a highrise, only a midrise.

Actually Sudheesh, I believe they've scaled up the project to 13 floors. Just check the elevation in the Manorama ad and the above elevation...There is an increase in the no: of floors. I put down as 10 only because I wasn't sure of the status.:):)

^^With residential ten floors, it could never be a highrise, only a midrise.

What is the lower cut-off point for considering a building as High rise?

^^ - About 12 floors as far as fire safety norms as concerned, if I remember right.

To be more precise, it is the total height that matters, a highrise shall be at least 35m. For a residential tower, 12 floors means 12 x 3= 36m. A commercial building would be having a min slab to slab height of 4.2 m. In that case an eight to nine floor building could qualify for a highrise.

Floors: 15

^^ that one is a beauty... has incorporated Travancore-colonial style architecture very well

Roman architecture, to be precise.:):) Look at the tall columns and the triangular forms at the top, its all characteristic of Roman works, Secretariat is a classic example. SFS Capital One in the neighbourhood has also followed the same pattern.:cheers:

Good work Nishant. Noticed some broken links in your site. Probably good to check it out.

^^ It may take some time as Nishanth is in Australia now. Will take some time for his broadband to be setup.

I guess you're talking about the "About me" and "contact" links. There seems to be some error in the "contact" site, you have any good suggestions? Send a PM if you could help us with it. I tried Google Docs but it also gave me an error.

Thanks :)

That "I" is indeed an elegant structure.

BTW, can anyone clarify what is the purpose of the red structure .. probably that is the 'I" they are talking about.

The 'I' indicates the coming of age in architecture,as far as this part of the country is concerned.Surely,the winds of change have set in,and the project,I'm sure.is a precursor for truly international iconic visages of the future.:):):)

Dude, This may not qualify as a highrise !! midrise may be more appropriate !!

^^Yup, I do agree Babu, sadly there is no thread for midrises...:)

^^May be we can avoid posting those here, since it is already posted in Projects thread.

And there is a rule in SSC which asks to avoid having the same post repeated in different threads in the same folder. For example a news item/article posted in Technopark thread should not be repeated in 'Projects' thread.

But it may be repeated if it is in two different folders, a cityscape photo can be posted in Cityscapes thread as well as showcase gallery.
