Alcove realty announces the launch of ‘new kolkata – home by the ganges’ in serampore today

East India’s most ambitious township, ‘NEW KOLKATA – Home By The Ganges’, is spread across more than 28 acres land offering affordable living

Kolkata, February 12, 2018: ALCOVE REALTY, East India’s most coveted real-estate developers, inaugurated landmark township, ‘NEW KOLKATA’ along the Ganges in the presence of ALCOVE REALTY’s Chairman, Mr. Amar Nath Shroff and Directors, Mr. Ajay Kumar Shroff and Mr. Yashaswi Shroff and the Chief Architect of ‘NEW KOLKATA’, Mr. Hafeez Contractor. Being eligible for CLSS benefits under the ‘Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna’ scheme, ‘NEW KOLKATA’ is hailed to be a milestone in the affordable housing segment.

Spread across more than 28 acres of land, ‘NEW KOLKATA’ is sub-divided into three parts. While Part 2 (called Sangam) and Part 3 (Prayag) constitutes Residential towers, Part 1 (Triveni) is dedicated to the Commercial amenities. Prayag was the first to be launched today, the construction for which has already began and expected to be completed by 2022-23, constituting 6 towers and housing 1,137 flats*.

Speaking on this momentous occasion with utmost passion and zeal, Shri Amar Nath Shroff, Chairman – ALCOVE REALTY, said, Project ‘NEW KOLKATA’ is all set to redefine the standard of living of Serampore and Bengal by creating a unique township model that is a city within the city. It is going to bring about a remarkable change in the lifestyle of the people, by providing all the luxuries of quality living along with excellent connectivity to Kolkata. Affordable, well- equipped and well-connected living by the Ganges is now a dream come true at New Kolkata.”

The highlight of the project is the facility of commuting in the township’s own ferries through private jetties. Residents can avail the ferry facility to cross over to Jagannath Temple or Millennium Park, or towards Dakshineshwar and use the upcoming metro facility to reach work places like Sector V in ease. Alternatively, residents can take a train from the Serampore town railway station or the near-by G.T. Road for their commute to Kolkata and nearby places. The township is wonderfully connected by the three-way transport – rail, road and river.

Padma Bhushan awardee, Hafeez Contractor has created an inimitable architectural design. The buildings have a unique architectural plan, with as much as 85% of the flats facing the Ganges. Residents shall wake up to the freshness of pure air, sunlight and a mesmerising and unobstructed view of the holy river. The entrance is beautifully designed in art deco style with landscaped gardens, vertical water cascades and sculptures. Moreover, to add to the serenity, the project offers its residents their very own Ganga Ghat or Promenade, where they can refresh themselves after a hard day’s work or perform rituals by the sacred river. Needless to say, the project offers plenty of open space and greenery, where the residents can avail facilities like separate cycling and jogging track, pet-park, outdoor yoga and meditation spaces, a calisthenics’ workout area, outdoor amphitheatre amongst others. There are separate underpasses which connects all the Plots, thereby preventing traffic congestion for the residents.

peaking on the occasion of the launch, Mr. Hafeez Contractor, Chief Architect of New Kolkata said, “I strongly believe that every Indian should experience the pleasure of owning a house, and it is a pleasure to be associated with New Kolkata, which has helped me work towards my passion of Social Housing. Alcove Realty’s vision of providing quality living at affordable prices has been realized through New Kolkata, and it has indeed been an incredible experience seeing it come alive.”

The tall and impending towers are being constructed using best quality of raw materials. Almost all buildings are being made with iron and steel casting of the walls, barring a few non-structural partitions that will feature AAC blocks. Moreover, the on-site testing and laboratory facilities will ensure that raw material are tested and then used to make buildings strong at their foundation and capable of overcoming any natural calamities.

Mr. Yashaswi Shroff, Director at Alcove Realty, elaborated on how NEW KOLKATA will be an experience of a unique kind. “Once the residents enter the township, they will have to look no further for their entertainment options. Equipped with 2 sprawling clubhouses in each of the residential plots (Sangam & Prayag), the clubhouses will offer a plethora of activities to keep the residents healthy and happy’’, he said. The combined size of both clubhouses is tipped at approximately 14,500 square feet. An indoor amphitheatre, a hall for multipurpose activities like Karaoke, dance classes, cooking etc., a hi-tech multgym with changing rooms and lockers, indoor games like pool, carom, chess, squash etc. and the infinity edge pool with the 50 seater cafeteria complete the living experience at New Kolkata.

Alcove Realty is committed to bringing in sustainability into its business practices. The township will utilise solar energy, practice water management and harvesting techniques and sewage treatment plants, thereby proving to be an environmentally conscious project.

‘A city within a city’, New Kolkata is indeed a new ‘Kolkata’ where dreams are assured to become a reality.

RBI Holds Repo Rate at 5.25%; Realty Industry Sees Stability as Growth Driver The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and retain its ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance in the third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of FY27 has elicited a measured response from the real estate industry. While the sector had hoped for a rate cut to further enhance home loan affordability and stimulate housing demand, industry leaders believe the RBI’s decision reflects a balanced approach amid elevated global uncertainties, volatile energy prices, and inflationary concerns. They noted that stable interest rates will continue to support buyer confidence, provide financial predictability for developers, and sustain the momentum witnessed in the residential real estate market. Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% while retaining a neutral stance reflects a prudent approach amid global uncertainties and evolving inflation dynamics. While the industry was hopeful of a rate cut, policy stability itself provides confidence to both developers and homebuyers. With borrowing costs remaining unchanged, housing demand is expected to continue its momentum, particularly in the mid-income and premium segments. The upward revision of India’s GDP growth projection to 6.7% underscores the resilience of the domestic economy. Going forward, as inflation moderates in line with the RBI’s expectations, there could be room for a more accommodative monetary policy. A future rate cut would further improve housing affordability, strengthen buyer sentiment, and accelerate investments across the residential and commercial real estate sectors.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged brings continuity and predictability to the market at a time when global geopolitical developments and inflationary pressures continue to create uncertainty. Stable interest rates ensure that home loan EMIs remain broadly unchanged, allowing prospective buyers to make informed purchasing decisions without concerns over rising borrowing costs. The Indian housing market has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past few years, supported by strong end-user demand, rising incomes, and growing confidence in the economy. With GDP growth projected at 6.7%, we expect housing demand to remain healthy across key micro-markets.” Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate is a balanced move considering the current global economic environment and domestic inflation outlook. Policy stability is particularly important for the real estate sector as it enables developers to plan projects with greater financial certainty while allowing buyers to benefit from stable lending rates. Demand for quality residential & commercial developments, especially in well-connected urban locations, is expected to remain robust. We remain optimistic that supportive monetary measures in the future could further strengthen investment activity.” Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers “The RBI has adopted a measured and responsible approach by maintaining the repo rate while closely monitoring inflationary trends and global developments. Although a rate cut would have enhanced affordability for homebuyers, the decision to maintain stability provides confidence to both consumers and developers in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The premium and luxury housing segments continue to witness healthy demand driven by aspirational buyers and strong wealth creation, while the broader residential market remains supported by genuine end-user demand. Stable financing costs, coupled with India’s improving growth outlook, should sustain market momentum.” Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects its focus on balancing growth with inflation management amidst ongoing global uncertainties. For the real estate sector, policy continuity is a positive outcome as it preserves financial stability and ensures that financing conditions remain predictable for both developers and homebuyers. Stable interest rates, combined with sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, will continue to support residential sales.”
