Empire Urbana Reviews

You can an appointment with medium price rang with good quality rooms and life style

I’ve been thinking about buying a property in Hyderabad due to my undying love for the city even though I lived there only for a few years. The last time I’ve been to Hyderabad or India was almost 10 years ago and I’ve been recently just looking online and saw these amazing apartments - “‘My home Bhooja” Now I know that a lot of things changed in India and I know 2 samosa aur chai is no longer 10 rupees and also know that Hyderabad has gone through a major makeover and is still killing it in the IT game but damn, 4+ crore apartments plus registration? Did everyone secretly got super rich? How is it all those units are that expensive and still selling out? In fact I thought this property must be an outlier but there are like thousands of units all over Hyderabad that are premium priced.

Hi, I am a single (27M) currently working for a FAANG company in the US. I am a us citizen. I am planning on moving back to India in the next 3-4 years permanently. I currently make around 16L per month (approx 2CR per annum) after taxes if I convert my salary to INR. I have very minimal expenses and I have around 2CR saved. Since I want to move back to Hyderabad, I am looking to buy an under construction luxury apartment that will be ready in 3 years - in time for me to move back permanently. I have seen a few luxury apartments that are being built by some of the well-known construction companies (think DSR, Myscape) and I have finalized three properties: Property 1 [Nanakramguda] - 5300sqft Apartment Price Quoted: 5.3CR Estimated Completion: Dec 2025 Property 2 [Jubilee Hills] - 7200sqft Apartment Price Quoted: 6.8CR Estimated Completion: March 2025 Property 3 [Gachibowli] - 4000sqft Apartment Price Quoted: 4.2CR Estimated Completion: June 2025 Ofcourse I take all the estimated completions with a pinch of salt. Now coming to my main question, buying my own house has always been my dream and I have been saving rigidly to come to this stage. This is my first big purchase and I wanted to know if it’s a good investment value wise to buy an apartment at these rates with my current profile. I plan on making down payments and completing payments without a loan as per the schedule since they are a few years away. I also have a loan approval from HDFC and Axis for 7.8% in case I need to utilize the loan. This is my first major investment and a dream project of mine. I definelty understand the rates are on the higher end but I am looking to buy a luxury apartment for me to settle down for the next decade or so. I know I can buy for cheaper if I move farther from city but I want to stay inside the core city. Is this a good investment?

Dear folks, I consolidated list of projects which i visited personally and seek opinion from owners/tenants. Please add any of other projects which i missed here. I m mentioning here projects, Few are Tier 1/1.5/2 builders. Feel free to comment out which are comes under Tier 1/2/3 builders. Aparna and MyHome as Tier 1 builders. Rajapushpa - is in that league, their older projects have been stuck in delays, and even some existing ones have faced handover delays (e.g., Casa Lux neopolis and the Mancheruvula project phase 2). Jayabheri - definitely comes into the picture and can be considered a Tier 1 builder, or you could call it Tier 1.5. Their construction quality and timely delivery pretty much match Tier 1 standards. Sumadhura - can be worth considering under Tier 1. They've executed several projects in Bangalore and Hyderabad (Horizon received mixed reviews), but their recent projects have seen timely delivery, and the construction quality has been pretty good so far. I enquired with a few owners of Acropolis, and they didn't face any issues. Garden Brooks (Gaganphad) has been good so far. it's a solid builder. Prestige - (I'm personally not a fan of it after seeing Beverly Hills and High Fields, where maintenance isn't great according to my colleagues). DSR - has a strong foundation in Hyderabad and Bangalore, and they've done large-scale projects with timely delivery. Godrej - still has to prove itself in Hyderabad, as it only has three projects (Goldmine raod, Gaghanphad; upcoming in Kukatpally). We have to see their commitment to delivery. Myscape - is a good builder that has executed multiple projects. It's worth considering alongside Tier 1 builders. (Enquired with Sancturay projects, received good reviews) POULAMI - Poulami avante decent ( as per my few colleagues) and good builder. ASBL - I'm not a fan of their larger balconies, and apart from that and the location, their projects don't offer much else. ASBL Spire received mixed reviews when i pay visit and talked to owners. Lansum - timely delivery and good quality (I've only enquired about Eldorado, but a few people were disappointed with the Etania project). Indis - I've visited only one project so far (Viva City) and enquired with owners; the feedback wasn't good. Lodha - has executed very few projects in Hyderabad, though the builder has good experience with high-rises. Never visited. MSN - From pharma background, Executing theri project very fast in neopolis. Very cash rich. Raghava - - Not delivered single project yet, But construction going on fast pace. ( Political background. May be immune to politics).- Cash rich Aurobindo - Heard, there are a lot of issues with Auro Regency (my friend bought there) and has to improve a lot and gain buyers confident.Brigade - Brand is good, but not sure why received mixed reviews about Citadel project. Sattava - Commercial executer. Have to see how they executing upcoming in neopolis. Never been to existing Sattava magnus in shaikpet Vasavi - not even under any tier. Ramky— yes, they can come under Tier 2-3 builders. We have to see the delivery of Odyssey, Astra, and One Orbit projects. Never visited any of projects. Vertex - is also known for delays; maybe consider it Tier 3 ( Nizampet project delayed much). Praneeth - quality not up to the mark. They've never executed high-rises except one under construction (Ixora)- nizampet . Candeur - has executed a couple of projects (Candeur 40, Lakescape, Crescent). As I enquired about 40, the reviews were bad about quality. Urbanrise the Bachupally project has a very bad layout and high density. SAS - in experienced in handling large-scale projects except existing SAS Crown is still ongoing). But their subsidiary SRIS IWA is going through delays and be cautious about upcoming in GOCL land. SMR - yes, they do execute projects, but it's not a good builder as it receives bad reviews for SMR Vinay when i visited and enquired. Jain - I enquired about the Chandanagar Jain Niley project, but received bad reviews. Raghuram Builders - executed a few commercial projects but no experience in handling large-scale ones. Vue Residency is under a land-grabbing case, and the Balanagar location is very bad, but the layout plan is good. Anvita - emerging builder that has delivered Prestone Villas, Ivana Phase 1, and is going ahead with Phase 2. Same with High 9. Aakriti - I've visited a few projects like Aakriti Miro; residents are complaining about the quality of construction. They've done multiple projects around Tellapur and Nallagandla. Abode - can consider if someone seeks low-density apartments. Vajra - not much idea about this builder, but Vajra West City took off very late. Pragati Developers - I've visited one project at Pragati Nagar (brick construction) and one along Gandimaisamma Road (Pragati Green Woods/Myvan). Yula - Not experience in constructing. Have to see how their commitment towards buders. Rise with 9 - Trilligt - Executing by De Blue Oak Constructions and P Mangatram Developers . Can consider. Navanami - Has strong background. But their project Navanami one delaying since they took up multiple projects. SSI - They do offer good lay out with SSI Fortune Grande and executed Sonthalia at kokapet and upcoming project in gaghanpahad. Halmark - Executed couple of decent sized commumities and theri first highrise Hallmark Treason ( few people weren't satisfied with quality). Ananda Homes - Not a good builder and on going is delay (Legacy by ananda homes ). Few were not satisfied with their quality of construction . Namashree - Heard delaying much for their project- Vrindavan by Namashree. GHR - Went to Castillo, But i feel quality not up to mark. Have to see Their neopolis project. Prosperity - emerging builder, construction wise look good. Liked the concept of sustainability and impressed they used porothem brick Hirize - Good builder. Visited their completed project (rich park) overall feedback good on this builder. Can consider hirize elysia. Vision Arsha : Decent builder. First hi rise project. Not sure on exceution and post maintenance. I personally liked 2000sft size. Western Springs - I stopped exploring this project after the Lokayukta registered a case against its developer, Western Constructions Windsor Park LLP. However, when I checked the RERA portal, there are pending cases were listed. Meenakshi - Very strong and reliable builder. ELAN is worth considering if you don’t mind the traffic chaos in the area. Bhavya’s Construction - Visited the site — construction quality is good. Main concerns: potential odour/issues from the opposite lake and the narrow approach road that leads toward South India. Avani Project Recommended to choose units with balconies facing Thulasivanam, preferably above the 12th floor, for better views and ventilation. EVora Villas (Kardanur) - Visited the site — looks promising for end-use / self-occupation (317sqyard looks good for me) . Only concern is occasional smell (builder denied it), but I couldn’t confirm with any locals. Modi Builders - Visited their Elegance project in Gajularamaram last year during a Gruhapravesham. Was not impressed with the construction quality. Risinia - Budget-friendly builder primarily focused on the Miyapur – Bachupally – Gandimaisamma belt. A good option if you’re looking for projects in these surrounding areas. Gothic Pentagon - Located just behind Pista House. Liked the larger unit sizes (especially the 2320 sq.ft. corner units). Suggest checking for resale flats as well. I may missed many other good projects. Feel free to comment. Please add if i miss any thing in the list, So that our folks can come up with Their experience. Please note, Most of projects, i personally went and seek owners/Tenants opinion. If you want to buy any flat, Do Ground work and buy Diligently Edited : Few forgot added in this list again.

Trying to chose between Rise 9 (11,555per sqft) Brigade (12,200 per sqft) My home grava (11,500 per sqft) Really liked the Neopolis area, Want to use them as investment for now and a long term home for back to India plan in a decade. What are sub thoughts on this vs appreciation comparing a villa out skirts (Kollur/tukkuguda) in 10 year horizon. Are the high prices worth it? Which one of these 3 builders have better reputation

Hi, My wife works at google and we are thinking to buy a 3bhk for ourself near the new upcoming google office in financial district. Current google office which is in kondapur is 8km from the new office and I believe it would be a commute challenge if we live in any other side of hyderabad. Also I think once the office is open, the rental prices are going to shoot up in the area. So better we buy a ready to move in now. My preference is a ready to move in or ready in 6 months max. Budget is up to 2CR including all charges. I don't mind grabe B builders given the project is completed. Can anyone suggest what projects would come under the category or if there are other locations which can work for my case? Thanks. Looking for genuine help.

Saw a listing for a 3BHK in the city going for Rs 6.5 crores. I get that the location is prime, but 6.5 CR?! For an apartment? No matter how "premium" the interiors are or how big the balcony is, I just can't wrap my head around these valuations. Are people actually buying at these prices right now, or is this just pure speculation? Where is this market even heading?

Hello, We were exploring apartments in Hyderabad which are luxury or ultra luxury. Should be a decent community size, like 500+ apartments, good area in the community for walking, spacious apartments like 2500 sqft to around 3500 sqft. Luxury finishing like marble flooring and large balconies. Looking in the financial district area, Nanakramguda, Khajaguda, Manikonda, Narsingi or nearby areas. People suggest Aparna which is good, but it's far, not near to ORR. Myhome is also recommended, but I have heard they build too many apartments and it's like a cage. Also looking for something that's almost read, or handover in the next 1 year. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I purchased a 1,710 sq. ft. unit in Sukhii Ubuntu (Puppalaguda) for end use couple of years back. It's handover is expected in the next few months. At the time, I was financially conservative and didn't want to overextend myself. In hindsight, I realize that I could have stretched my budget to secure a larger unit in a lower-density project with a more reputed builder. While Sukhii Ubuntu is a strong investment due to its premium location and promised amenities (assuming they are delivered as planned), I am now looking to upgrade. I am willing to increase my budget to ₹2.5 – 3CR for a better brand and size and targetting projects having handover after 2030. However, I am struggling to find quality options available right now. My Question: What would you recommend? Wait: Hold off for another year or two to see if better opportunities arise? Switch Now: Sell my current unit before handover and immediately buy into a project with a 2026/2027 delivery timeline?

I’ve been living in a decent flat for the past many years on rent and now want to buy one. I wanted to upgrade to a villa but I can’t afford to buy a 5Cr house 20 kms away from Financial District. So, the next best option - Duplex apartment or Penthouse. Something that gives me separation of floors without all the other perks of a villa. But can save 1-2Cr, especially in this inflated market. And as many people have already opined, this market may only give us a time correction and not a price correction, I’m not holding my breath. I’m looking for an under construction project, so my EMI can scale up slowly but ok to explore ready to move in options as well. I am not willing to compromise on the builder. Top tier builder only. Areas I’m looking for are: Financial District or in its close vicinity. Places like Kokapet, Nallagandla, Tellapur, Narsingi etc. where I can expect appreciation and get a better price. Configuration: 3bhk + maid washroom. I would prefer maid room with washroom. A study would be nice to have. Between 3k-4.5k sft super built up. Please help me suggest some options and I can share what I find here to help others too.

After lot of head scratching, finally decided on the Imperia project for self use. Below are the requirements: ~2000 sft (must)Lawn view (must)Mid-level floor (good to have) It looks like the builder does not have the 2045 sft available, so looking for resale flats. Would also appreciate any inputs on pricing - what price should I aim for? Thank you.
