With a built-up area of 1 million sq ft, Ashar IT Park is tailored to meet today’s complex business needs with suitable amenities. Designed on international standards, the Ashar IT Park at Wagle Industrial Estate in Thane stands over a large floor plate of 80,000 sq ft. The building, built using state-of-the-art technology, exudes grandness on one hand and convenience on the other. It provides an apt opportunity for top IT majors to avail of the cost-efficiencies of operating in Thane. Inimitable design The IT Park has been designed in a way that it expresses the identity of the owner. The flooring and atrium are made of Italian marble. The building has a double-glazed unitised system for the external façade. Elevators, stairs and services cores are positioned around a large floor plate (80,000 sq ft) to achieve maximum flexibility in dividing the offices areas into 5,000 sq ft to 80,000 sq ft. Maximum daylight is ensured by using high-efficiency glass, while optimisation of common areas allows floor space efficiency of 80 per cent. The backdrop of Ashar IT Park comprises natural scenic beauty of the Yeoor Hills. The landscape keeps in mind the elevation of the structure. The parks, fountains and lighting have been carefully designed to enhance the beauty of Ashar IT Park. Indeed, elements of nature and construction have been blended in order to obtain optimal results. Technology in motion Necessary infrastructure has been created at the IT Park to facilitate data transmission of international BPOs and software companies operating from the IT Park. Broadband connectivity of service providers like Airtel, Reliance, Tata and MTNL is fully operational. Rentable facilities ADSL, ISDN, IP-VPN, TDM, Frame Relay, X-DSL and IPCL are also available. The IT Park has a multilevel security system comprising CCTV surveillance, proximity card-based access control at lift lobbies and other floors, automated fire protection alarm, fire protection system with wet risers and sprinklers, smoke detectors, public address system, portable fire extinguishers and fire-detection panels from Honeywell-Morley. What’s more, the building’s intelligent building management system ensures centralised management of utilities. Intelligent software has been installed for the control and monitoring of lifts, lighting and security. This not only conserves energy but enhances reliability, security and efficiency. DG sets with Cummins engine manufactured by Powerica and other reputed manufacturers provide the necessary power backup.
