BREAK THE ROUTINE (BTR)


The past few years have seen a plethora of second home projects at various locations. If one were to look at each of these advertisements, you would see the same standard amenities; a club house, a swimming pool; a gymnasium.  There is very little variation to this standard fare offered in a project.
Recently, when we at Disha Direct were offered a new project for marketing, we visited the site and the location was so different, we decided that we will have the site developed in a manner that would offer customers something different. We wanted to ‘break the routine”.
Right from the name of the project, every aspect of the project was different. Here is a project that focuses on adventure. Adventure as a theme for a project was unique as it was the first time that the adventurous streak of a customer was sought to be addressed by providing various choices of adventure sports.

There is a dedicated Adventure Zone providing such sporting activities like Mountain Climbing, Rock climbing, Hiking camps with tents, River crossing, ATV biking and obstacle course.
For the water enthusiast we have provided the H2O Zone with activities like Water Zorbing, Hanging Bridge, Balancing Bridge, Aqua Activity and Water Sports to name a few.
We pay special attention to the needs of the kids with a Kid Zone providing facilities like Herbal Maze Garden, Edutainment Park, Fish Feeding, Bird Feeding and a general play area.
For the athletic streak in you we have provided with an Energy Zone with activities like Lawn Tennis, Basketball Court, Bicycle Track, Sports Pavilion and a Jogging Track.
And for a relaxing time out there for the nature lovers we have the Leisure Zone with facilities like Bonfire Camps, River walk, Fishing and a Sunset Point Gazebo.
These recreation zones are spread over a sprawling area of 8 acres. It has been our endeavour to offer you, the customer, a refreshing and invigorating experience when you are at your dream second home. Spread over an expanse of 50 acres, you are surrounded with scenic views of the Malshej Mountain Range; a beautiful rivulet gurgling along the periphery and a serene atmosphere to de-stress and unwind. It is a destination that breaks the routine and a place you would look forward to going, over and over again, a vacation you would like to take every week end.

ALIBAUG.. THE CITY OF SUN, SAND AND GROWTH..

At Disha it’s our constant endeavour to identify future destinations of growth. In the past, we have identified many such destinations and locations like Talegaon, Wada, Murbad, Shahapur, Karjat etc which are showing exponential growth in last few years. These locations have become sought after destinations for  second homes and land investments and few destinations like Talegaon, Karjat and Shahapur  have emerged as first home destinations giving multifold returns to buyers and investors who have invested in these locations few years back.


Alibaug Properties


Alibaug, a small coastal town on Mumbai Goa highway is one such location where we see tremendous potential for future development and growth. A comfortable  2 hours drive       (90 kms) passing through lush green forests and mesmerizing scenic views along the way. You can reach Alibaug via water transport from the Gateway of India. The catamaran service is available throughout the day which takes 45 minutes to reach Mandwa jetty at Alibaug . If you take a speed boat it takes around 15 to 20 minutes to reach Mandwa. With 11 beautiful beaches between  Mandwa and Murud , Alibaug is known as mini Goa of Maharashtra. Few of the famous beaches are Mandwa, Kihim, Nagaon, Akshi and Murud where water sports facilities are available.  It’s also famous for historical monuments, forts and temples. No wonder Alibaug has become major tourist attraction and favourite holiday destination for Mumbailars. Due to proximity to Mumbai via road and water Alibaug is preferred destination for filmstars, industrialists and celebrities and known as land of sun, sand and peace.
But now this small town is emerging as a future growth centre. Many infrastructure projects are in process to transform this small town to a major investment hub. Work for a  4 lanes Mumbai Goa highway has started and is scheduled to be completed by 2014. This will reduce travel time from Mumbai to Alibaug substantially. The proposed Shivdi – Nhavasheva link road will further reduce travel time between these two places. Two big ports are being developed at Dighi and Rewas giving major economic boost to this region. A dedicated rail freight corridor is being planned between Delhi and Rewas. Technical feasibility is being done for non-stop 80 kms multimodal corridor from Virar to Alibaug. All weather  car carrier boats will soon start ferrying from Gateway to Mandwa.
All these developments would help Alibaug to emerge as next growth centre and investment destination near Mumbai. In last few years many developers and industrial houses have bought large parcels of lands in Alibaug region to develop integrated townships. Healthcare and Educational institutes, leisure industry are also looking at Alibaug for their next plan of expansion.
We have done research on these developments and understood the potential of Alibaug. Keeping our tradition of identifying future destinations, we have launched many projects in Alibaug in last 2 years. Bay Vista, Bay Woods, Bay Blue and Pallazo. All these project received very good response and customers have got good appreciation in these projects. We will be launching one of our most ambitious project, Cidade Vida at Alibaug. It will be the fist Township in Alibaug spread over 30 acres and it is based on Goan architecture and  culture where we intend to develop a small Goan village with all features and flavours of Goa. Cidade Vida will change the real estate scenario of Alibaug. We are launching few more projects from budget apartment to luxury appartments and villas in near future and all these projects are targeted at different customers and investor segments.
Welcome to Alibaug.. The City of Future..
