Something is wrong here. How can the hotel be near Diamond Harbour and yet be one kilometre from the Airport?Carlson Hotels has confirmed plans to develop the Radisson Hotel Kolkota, which is scheduled to open by 1 June 2010.

The hotel is based within seven acres. The existing hotel building will be completely demolished and rebuilt to Radisson specifications.

Yap. It seems that they have made some wrong(news). I also know that they already have a hotel in Raichak. Are they planning for a second one near Airport?Something is wrong here. How can the hotel be near Diamond Harbour and yet be one kilometre from the Airport?
I think they are referring to the Airport Hotel which was sold by MBD group to another company.
Radisson does have a hotel in Raichak (which can be said to be somewhat close to Diamond Harbour).
I guess they will be rebuilding/renovating the erstwhile airport ashok hotel which is now acquired by mbd group. So now it appears carlson will buy it 4m mbd. The hotel @ raichak is an altogether different one that is the ffort-a radisson resort.....Yap. It seems that they have made some wrong(news). I also know that they already have a hotel in Raichak. Are they planning for a second one near Airport?
A hi-tech office tower that rises 30 levels into the sky, 7,000 apartments stacked in 18-19 storey condominiums, 500 villas and row houses spread across sprawling landscaped gardens and a lake.
Welcome to the blueprint of Bengal Shriram Hi-Tech City, the proposed sprawling mixed-use township that may come up at the Hindustan Motors’ factory site. While the workshop, spread across 435 acre will be retained, the remaining 314 acre are being carved out for the IT township and ancillary park.
The Rs 6,600-crore project, one of the largest in the state, will be developed over five years by Shriram Properties, the real-estate wing of the Rs 23,000-crore Shriram group.
“It is one of the most ambitious projects we have undertaken. The IT industry in Kolkata is restricted to Salt Lake and a small section of New Town. Many of our international IT partners have already evinced interest,”
Bengal Shriram general manager (commercial) Dibyojyoti Ghosh said.
Equipped with high-speed fibre optic connectivity, the 2-million sq ft plug-and-play facility will comprise aesthetically designed IT and ITeS office spaces. The auto ancillary park will target manufacturers of smart printed circuit board-based parts. The 30-storey tower will adhere to green building norms.
The commercial development will also include a shopping mall with a six-screen multiplex and a food court. Also on the offing is a golf club with a nine-hole green.
“We have to offer worldclass facilities to attract big companies. The infrastructure has to cater to nearly 65,000 people,” Ghosh said.
On the residential front, the total built-up area will be 4 million sq ft comprising highrises, row houses and villas. The plan is to develop vertically so that ground coverage does not exceed 13.5% of the land parcel.
The most attractive feature of the project is a lake spread over 30 acre amid the lush landscaped lawns and gardens. “It is large enough to organise rowing and kayaking contests. Regenerating and preserving the waterbody will be central to the project,” he said.
In social infrastructure, Bengal Shriram plans to set up two schools and two hospitals. While the schools will be affiliated to the state and a central board, one of the hospitals will be a super-speciality facility.
^^ Good news. Govt needs to be proactive in developing/promoting other parts of Kolkata in addition to Salt lake and New town. How is the present connectivity from Uttarpara to the rest of the region ?Interesting proposal for Uttarpara

Space group plans new projects in Kolkata, Chennai
Pradipta Mukherjee / Kolkata August 03, 2007
Kolkata-based Space Group, the real estate developer specialising in developing clubs, lifestyle-based residencies and shopping malls, has lined up an estimated investment of close to Rs 225 crore in Kolkata and Rs 350 crore in Chennai over the next three years.
An additional Rs 125 crore has already been invested in various projects in Kolkata that are under construction right now.
The 15-year-old Space Group has so far completed and sold off five projects in West Bengal worth around Rs 400 crore like Space Town, Club Town, Club Town Enclave and Club Town Estates.
Piyush Bhagat, director of Space Group, said the company is keen on partnership with private players to build residencies, clubs and shopping malls in and around West Bengal and in Chennai.
"We plan to build a Rs 200 crore bungalow complex in Rajarhat over 70 acres under the Springfields Projects banner," said Bhagat.
Bungalow sizes would range from 2,500 sq to 5,000 sq ft, and while prices had not been decided, they would have a club attached.
Built over 3 acres, the club at Rajarhat would focus on outdoor sports like cricket and football.
The club would have facilities like gym, swimming pool, food centres and banquet halls.
The club would be built under Springfield Projects banner.
Springfield Projects was formed two years ago. So far it has built the 'Silver Spring Residency' and the Rs 22 crore ‘Spring Club' on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass in Kolkata.
The Space Group is building a 300,000 sq.ft. shopping mall on B T Road in Kolkata, to be completed by 2009.
"We are in the process of identifying the brands for the mall with car parking for close to 300 cars and 200 two-wheelers," Bhagat said.
Space Group is also building a 350,000 sq.ft. 'Club Town Residency' on B T Road as well, due for completion in 2008, with apartments of upto 1700 sq.ft. and priced at Rs 1,600 per sq.ft..
The group is also planning a Rs 350 crore 30-acre residential complex in Chennai to be completed within three years from now and built under the Olympia banner, said Bhagat.
Bhagat said the group recently completed a Rs 400 crore, 1.35 million sq. ft. green building in Chennai under the Olympia banner in partnership with Khivraj and MK groups.
The residential complex in Chennai would have 2500 apartments built in phases with the first phase having 820 apartments of upto 3000 sq ft priced at Rs 3,000 per sq.ft., with attached club, service apartments, hotels and other facilities, Bhagat said.
"We would also rent out some apartments to people with transferable jobs. Families could stay here for rent of close to Rs 2 lakh per month," Bhagat added.
