Embassy Riverine

Embassy Riverine has two villa types, each built as ground plus one or two upper floors. The four-bedroom villa measures about 4,251 sq ft and the four-and-a-half-bedroom villa about 5,265 sq ft, both quoted as built-up area. The carpet area and the plot size under each villa have not been published, so ask for both in writing.

The listed prices are Rs. 14.10 Crore for the smaller type and Rs. 17.43 Crore for the larger one. Get a unit-wise price sheet for the villa you want, because position on the campus, facing and nearness to the lake or clubhouse can all shift the figure.

As an under-construction purchase, the villa attracts GST on top of the agreed price, and stamp duty and registration apply at the time of the sale deed. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base price and the built-up and plot area it covers
• Premiums for corner, lake-facing or park-facing villas
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
• Parking and any charges for utility connections
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Embassy Riverine spreads 218 villas across 50.8 acres, and the developer states that about 81.2% of the land will stay open and green. It describes more than 4,000 trees, a natural eco-lake and river-edge corridors kept as part of the landscape. All images at this stage are renders as planned by the developer, so ask for the sanctioned layout and walk the land itself.

A morning could start with a run on the jogging track or a session in the yoga zone, with the gymnasium for anyone who prefers weights. Children have a dedicated play area, and a tennis court and table tennis give older ones and adults a game after school or work.

The clubhouse, which the developer sizes at 40,000 sq ft, holds the swimming pool and the mini theatre for a family film night. The party area takes care of birthdays and gatherings, and landscaped gardens link the villas with the open ground. CCTV surveillance and perimeter fencing cover security.

Since the handover is years away, ask which facilities will be finished first and whether the clubhouse opens with the first villas or the last.
