Elemec wins MEP contract in
$400 million Mumbai project

DUBAI - Elemec Electrical Contracting Co, a UAE-based contractor has won the electromechanical engineering, design and execution contract of the iconic One Avighna Park in Mumbai. The $400 million commercial and residential development is located at Lower Parel in Mumbai, India's financial capital, is being
Dubai-headquartered Elemec has won the turn-key electromechanical, or MEP, contract "on the merit of its professionalism and flexibility," said Kailash Agarwal, Chairman of Avighna, India Ltd., the developer of the project, which in the first phase encompasses 64-storeyed luxury residential project, 23-storeyed residential (rehabilitation), and commercial as well as super deluxe service apartments.

Agarwal, who is also a Sharjah-based NRI, said all the buildings in this mega project would be certified as "Green buildings," and will not only have the advantage of energy savings but residents would get an incentive of 50 per cent on property tax as proposed by Municipality to incentivize Green projects.
Agarwal on behalf of Avighna and K D. Gopalakrishnan, managing director of Elemec, signed the electromechanical contract.
The project is designed by architects, WSP Cantor Seinuk, USA and landscaping by Site Concepts, Singapore.

The "One Avighna Park" will offer eight floors of podium parking with a capacity of 2,200 cars, more than 100,000 sq ft of open space with a jogging track, swimming pool and a health club along with a sewage and water treatment plant for its 64-storey project, said Agarwal.
Elemec, an leading electromechanical company in the Middle East, has in the past executed the landmark Lofts at Down Town, Fairways at Greens, Ear Business Park, La Rivera Tower and are currently into the Holiday Inn Hotel - Muscat, Tilal Complex - Muscat, Souq Waqif Hotel in Doha and the Prime Tower, Dubai.

"Avighna project marks Elemec's entry into the high potential Indian market. The vast experience and technical expertise we have acquired in the Gulf over the years would give us a lot of advantage in our Indian foray," said Gopalakrishnan.

While signing the contract with Elemec, Agarwal appreciated the management and engineering team of Elemec for its track record of fast track completion of several projects.
Under the contract, Elemecs' scope is to provide advanced services to the project under green concept. The project will have centrally controlled building management system integrated to security and safety, fire protection and detection, plant, CCTV, PABGM and lighting. All materials required are sourced from the UAE, said Agarwal.

The landmark project, located in a prime land measuring 300,000 sq. ft. area at Lower Parel, is under the cluster redevelopment scheme which is estimated to cost Rs40 billion in total.
On the project's eco-friendly focus, Agarwal said, "It is essential to conserve water, and so at One Avighna Park, w are recycling water, doing rain water harvesting, using water from bore wells. Moreover, we also pay attention to details such as providing natural ventilation and light to common areas."

Avighna India was set up in 1987 with its associate company Nishant Import & Export Co. based in Sharjah. The core business was importing liquid petroleum products, gasoline, gas oil, furnace oil and chemicals from the Middle East. Later, Avighna diversified into a shipping company, owning and operating vessels.

Dear All,

This 64-storey tower is basically on industrial area. Beside this area there are almost 700 residents.

Before starting the development the developer has done the agreement with the tenants in 2006 till then he not started any development work.

After the new GR passed from the govt of maharashtra Section 33(9) and developer gets 4 FSI. After this he started the development of the salebal area (64-storey tower).

Currently this development is going under Mhada Section 33(9)

-Cheers,

Elemec wins MEP contract in
$400 million Mumbai project - February 28th, 2011, 09:47 AM

The "One Avighna Park" will offer eight floors of podium parking with a capacity of 2,200 cars, more than 100,000 sq ft of open space with a jogging track, swimming pool and a health club along with a sewage and water treatment plant for its 64-storey project, said Agarwal.
=======================================================
Some highlights on above points:-

All above amenities are getting on just because of this project is under 'Cluster Development' that means Nish Developer is using the FSI of Chawl Dwellers who are residence from almost 104 years of this Mumbai city and this New Haji Kasam Chawl is under 'Grade A category' that means according Mhada / BMC act in redevelopment of 'A Category' buildings will get more FSI to the developers.

Unfortunately, all the above amenities will provide by Nish Developer to the salable area and not to rehab residence.

Below are some of the amenities provided by Nish Developer to the tenants.

1) 23 Storey buildings for 750 Resident ie. Total Tower will be 7 , 1 reserved For BMC and 1 Reserved for MHADA. Only 5 towers are available for tenants.

2) Approximately 26 rooms on one floor.

3) 300 Sq. Feet carpet area.

4) 25,000/- Carpose fund for the future maintenance.

5) Two lift for one tower with out backup facility.

6) No parking facility for owners.

7) Currently tenants are occupied approx. 2600 Sq. Meter area.

7) Nish developer developing this 5 tower only in 1000 Sq Meter area . i.e developer is using rest of the area + old mill land (Ismile Mill) FSI for his salable property(Twin tower and swimming pool, jogging track etc.).

According to the sources, to start the redevelopment of chawl the tenants has to sign the agreement with the developer but in Avighna Park case tenants has not yet signed the agreement with Nish developer ie. till date 70% of tenants has not sign the agreement with developer still Nish has started his development.

when you say 700 residents

do you mean 700 families or 700 people.

[williemore]

onedweller, not sure if you sound happy bout how things stand here... but that is how things are sir... paisa bolta hein... u cannot start development until 70% of the consent is sought... i m surprised why a stay order wasn't requested... or is this even in court? or these days do they even care about law? or does the law even care about such things... not sure about clusted dev though... they cud have nicely arranged favourable conditions, courtesy handshakes...

the original render shows only one skyscraper (though it looks like two fused into one) - but the thread shows 64x2!! What am I missing?

[KuwarOnline]

great update

[bhargavsura]

Nice. Just look at the numerous upcoming constructions.

[india02]

The rehab building as well as Sale tower both are IGBC certified. both have green building certification

[india02]

The law of BMC/MHADA is very strict. NOC is only granted after 70% of consent and BMC issues development permissions only after MHADA NOC and plans are also sanctioned as per law.
The entire rehab area is covered in 6000 sq. mt and not 1000 sq.mt as stated.
Parking is also provided for the owners where today they don’t have any parking space.
Cluster development allows noncess tenants also to be rehabilitated, where noncess tenants were occupying more than 22,000 sq.mt area.
Developer is giving a setback of 2000 sq.mt to widen the road, which is 100% of the area where current residential tenants are staying. This will improve traffic movement on this road.
Such kind of schemes should be encouraged.
