Planet Smart City to reach Rs 9 bn sales in Pune project

08 Dec 2023 CW Team

Planet Smart City, a leading global player in the affordable housing market integrating Proptech and ESG-compliant real estate solutions, has announced a near-total sell-out of its flagship ?Universe? project in the Life Republic Township in Hinjewadi, Pune, in partnership with Kolte-Patil Developers Limited (KPDL). As Planet Smart City?s first development in the country, this milestone signifies an extraordinary achievement, with more than 88% of residential units and 91% of commercial units being sold as of the end of September 2023.

?Universe?, the first project launched by Planet Smart City in India in December 2020, boasts a total saleable area of 1.3+ million sq. ft. in residential units and 85,000 sq. ft. in commercial units. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic?s second wave, ?Universe? is already poised to achieve a total of INR 900+ crores in sales. This exceptional achievement comes from the great dynamics of the residential housing market in Maharashtra and to the tremendous response from homebuyers who value the extensive facilities and innovative smart solutions implemented throughout the project by Planet Smart City.

The project?s success has extended beyond the borders of India, as international investors in the GCC region are responding to its unique selling points and potential for property value appreciation.

Marco Pilia, Managing Director India at Planet Smart City commented, ?The successful sell-out of our first project in India is an incredible achievement for Planet Smart City globally. This performance is a great testimony to our business model and value proposition. Collaborating with best-in-class developers in India allows us to deliver high innovation in the residential market, remaining future-proofed and well within the right budget range for our customers.?
