The Commonwealth Games Residential Village 2010, is a landmark integrated residential project in New Delhi, spread over 27.17 acres. The project involves development of 4000 bedrooms spread across 34 towers, with four million square feet of constructed area. The apartments ranging from two to five bedroom units (1400 sq ft to 3,500 sq ft) will be used to house 8,000 athletes and officials during the Games. The project is a Private Public Partnership initiative between Emaar MGF Land Ltd and the DDA.
A certified green development, the Commonwealth Games Village 2010 is bigger and better in scale when compared to the athletes’ villages in Melbourne and Manchester that hosted the Games before. The numbers are astounding: 40,000 tonnes of steel, close to 27 lakh cement bags, 15,000 doors installed and 22,00,000 sft of marble used, enough to cover 28 soccer fields. The Village symbolizes the efforts of more than 12,000 labour who worked 24X7 on the project.
Elaborating on the project, Mr Shravan Gupta, EVC and MD of Emaar MGF, said “It is a momentous occasion for us at Emaar MGF to create from scratch, one of the finest Games Villages ever built, be it in design, quality or scale. The Village, as it stands today, is a shining example of blending sustainable building techniques with modern amenities.”
Mr Gupta further added, “The Village was a challenge more challenging than conventional projects. We rose to this challenge and completed the Village in a record time of 32 months. Most importantly, our partnership with DDA for executing this project has already set a defining example of superior Indian skills and capabilities.”
Some of the prominent attributes of the apartments include superior finishes, fine quality Italian marble, wooden flooring, VRF-based technology for air-conditioning, use of energy efficient material in construction and spacious living areas with balconies. The Games Village complex is an integrated community with facilities like state-of-the-art security system, wi-fi/DTH enabled, 100% power back up and treated water supply.
