Housing for the rich has always been an indulgent and opulent affair. Marked with a keen sense of purpose and a sharp eye for detail luxury home developers make every effort to woo their potential HNI customers. Its thus no surprise that customers pay top buck for their innovative and mesmerizing architecture, thought provoking design and exquisite layout. Once such luxury housing project which has been making waves in the city of destiny is Villaasam.

‘We want to set new benchmarks of quality and luxury in the city. I want people to refer to Villaasam as the benchmark for luxury living’ said Mr YS Raveendranath Reddy, designated partner, Augmented Realty (the developer of the Villaasam project) speaking exclusively to Vizag Industrial Scan.

One of things that strikes you of Mr Reddy is his penchant for finer details, his passion for workmanship and a deep sense of humility and modesty. This despite the fact that he hails from one of the most powerful political families of Andhra Pradesh. Emphasising on quality and the precision of workmanship Mr Reddy cites four key elements that are key in delivering a masterpiece.

‘One first needs to have Sankalp i.e. the will and desire to do good work, then comes good design, landscaping followed by good workmanship’ opined Mr Reddy.

Walking the talk the team at Augmented Realty has roped in coveted partners for this project. From the architect to the structural design to the landscaping the people associated with Villaasam are probably the most revered in their respective industry.

‘We have got in top notch people to execute this pure villa project. Just to give you an example our Architect is a graduate from Columbia university in New York, our landscaping partner is from the prestigious school of planning and architecture in New Delhi. This coupled with their loads of experience in executing upscale projects like these are a perfect match,’ said Mr Reddy.

Being built over 11 acres in Kappulauppada the northern side of Vizag, Villaasam in its first phase will have 62 villas ranging from 300 to 700 sq yards of space with each villa having 4 bedrooms(& 4 baths), an audio visual room and a powder room. All of these villas have been structured for G+2.

Talking of luxury housing how can one be far away from Italian marble, granite, stainless steel etc.

‘Our villas are being built with 30-35% Italian marble, 30% engineered wood, high quality vitrified tiles and many other superior quality materials’ highlighted Mr Reddy.

In addition to this Villaasam will swank a grand clubhouse that shall encompass a wide array of facilities including a tennis court, a basketball court, a banquet hall, saloon/spa, an Amphitheatre, gymnasium, cafeteria etc.

With such grandeur it’s thus no surprise that these villas are not priced for the faint hearted. Ranging from Rs 7157 per sqft to 9041 per sqft these luxury villas will probably be Vizag’s most sought after addresses. Slated for completion in April 2024 and armed with an aggressive marketing strategy the promoters aim to sell these prestigious villas over the next 9-10 months. ‘I have made a commitment on this and we are working diligently towards achieving this’ said Mr Reddy.
