The club is to come up on an eight-acre spread with four acres, as the green area while the commercial complex will be built on an area of three acres. The Housing Board has already selected shopkeepers for selling essential commodities like fruits and vegetables, coffee shop, dry cleaners, etc., by putting cement panels around the stilt already planned by Cesma designers.
The APHB also claimed that after taking "proper measurements" following the Bureau of Indian Standards computation, the plinth areas of the flats - two/three bedrooms notified to be 1,100 SFT and 1,400 SFT, respectively, was more by a minimum of 30 SFT to 100 SFT.
Though the cost for the "extra" area for each individual flat was working out to be a maximum of Rs. 21,000 to Rs. 1.4 lakhs, the APHB had decided to absorb the cost working out to be about Rs. 4.5 crores, instead of passing it on to the customers.
