Godrej properties, the real estate arm of the century old Godrej group, has arrived in Greater Noida. No, they\u2019re not launching yet another high-rise apartment project, but something that\u2019s closer to the ground.<\/p>\n
Villas.<\/strong><\/p>\n Villa\u2019s that will encircle a golf course. A golf course that\u2019s different from others. OK, it had to be different from the golf course in its immediate neighborhood, which is part of a well admired premium destination in the NCR. More about that later.<\/p>\n Talking of the NCR, do you know that what\u2019s perceived as one of the furthest town in the NCR is actually the nearest if you measure distances in driving time, and not kilometres? It\u2019s also undisputedly, the most beautiful town in the NCR. It actually doesn\u2019t look like everything else in the NCR.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t believe me? Drive down the expressway that takes you to Greater Noida. 30 minutes after you\u2019ve paid the DND toll you\u2019ll arrive at a different world. The world that Godrej is now arriving in.<\/p>\n Greater Noida and Noida started out as twins. Noida grew rapidly, fuelled by commercial development in its industrial sectors and residential developments along the Noida- Greater Noida expressway. Greater Noida,<\/a> however grew slowly, it\u2019s status changed from being a twin to a younger sibling, however with a distinct identity \u2013 Wide, tree-lined roads. Mid rise apartments. A score or so of private universities and colleges. Large industries and IT campuses. Spread out residential sectors. Sports arenas. It\u2019s also the takeoff point for the Yamuna expressway. The takeoff word also reminds of the proposed Jewar airport, which most likely could soon be a reality. But what\u2019s close to being a reality is the Noida- Greater Noida metro. In an advanced stage of construction, it\u2019s your constant companion as you drive down the expressway.<\/p>\n The metro rides close to the 100 acres Godrej project site which is ringed by developed societies all around. The very expensive Jaypee Greens, with its magnificent golf course is the immediate neighbour I referred to above.<\/p>\n
