There are are thinkers,
philosophers and dreamers and then there are the doers. Very rarely though does
one come across a person, who is an ideal balance of both these seemingly polar
opposites. Meet one such man, Mr. Kamal Khetan, CMD, Sunteck Realty. Ranked in
2009 by Forbes, as India’s 91st richest man, Mr. Khetan with his tireless work
ethic and constant reinvention and focus on innovation, is one of the people
helping shape the future of the realty in the island city.
Mr. Kamal Khetan founded
Sunteck Realty in the year 2000 and in 2005 made its foray into real estate
development with a joint venture on a commercial property in the suburb of Vile
Parle. Since then the company has made a name for itself by servicing high net
worth blue chip Indian and international companies by way of developing
world-class office buildings and commercial spaces, especially in Mumbai’s new
business district of Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC).
There are some people who
simply love pushing the boundaries of the possible, these are the true
trailblazers and Mr. Khetan is definitely one of them. While developing
commercial spaces is definitely a great business model, Mr. Khetan took the
leap of faith, by pioneering the concept of ‘walk to work’, by taking
an incredible decision. The decision was to build a residential masterpiece of
fine living, in the throbbing heart of Mumbai’s business district. Thus was
born Signature
Island, Sunteck’s showpiece lifestyle development for the swishest of
the swish set. Set just a few minutes from the offices of most of the country’s
top CEOs, Signature Island provides these tycoons a luxury that money simply
can’t buy, the liberty to stroll into work, at their own pace. The response to
Signature Island has been fantastic, with the business magnates and CEOs
queuing up to be residents of this fantastic development!
The belief that Mumbai as a
city has fantastic potential for development and the aspiration to redefine the
face of India’s financial powerhouse are strong motivators for a man like Mr.
Khetan. How else would one explain the sheer pace at which Sunteck Realty
impacts the way Mumbai is looking at high end housing? Since its inception, the
company has successfully developed 36 million square feet of city centric
developments, primarily in Mumbai across 26 projects. Sunteck’s obsession with
changing the face of the city is obvious through the fact that almost 90
percent of its economic value emanates from its Mumbai developments.
Sunteck’s various projects across Mumbai:
Sunteck’s residential
portfolio includes developments all across the island city and its suburbs.
Considering that most spaces in the island city are either developed or are
under development, having such a diverse portfolio in such a competitive
space/sector in itself is an astounding feat.
Sunteck City: Goregaon (West): The suburb of Goregaon is the virtual
gateway to the busier suburbs of Andheri and Bandra, Sunteck City offers its
residents this locational advantage that makes such a difference to the lives
of the residents of a city like Mumbai. Add to that a vast array of luxury
accoutrements and you have one of suburban Mumbai’s most sought after
developments!
Signature Islands/Signia Isles BKC: The concept of walk to work meets the art
of unhurried living. The Signature Islands and Signia Isles are the undisputed
jewels in the Sunteck crown. Luxurious, bespoke and elegant living in the heart
of Mumbai’s business is the prerogative of the privileged few. Undoubtedly a
development that is the cynosure of all eyes and the pride of the elite few.
Signia High Borivali (East): Suburban living with a luxurious twist is
the only way to describe Signia High. Whether it is the humongous, palatial
entrance, the observation decks, mini theatre, concierge services or the triple
layer security system, Signia High is definitely a new level of life for the
suburbs of Mumbai.
Signia Oceans/Orion: Airoli: Two developments set to redefine life in
the Central part of the city. Signia Oceans and Orion are excellent examples of
seclusion with inclusion. Set far enough from the hustle and bustle of the
Eastern Express Corridor, yet close enough to all the trappings of a
cosmopolitan life, these two stand as islands of tranquility in a sea of
activity. Add to these the bespoke touches expected of any Sunteck development
and you have a residence that you will love to call HOME.
Sunteck’s drive and
determination, to change the way the denizens of Mumbai perceive life in the
maximum city, is a gift of its charismatic leader, Mr. Kamal Khetan. In an age
where leadership by example is a dwindling commodity, Mr. Khetan’s enthusiasm
and zeal are infectious and endearing. Mr. Khetan’s devotion to leadership
excellence is obviated by his founding of and being a member of several
organisations that aim to groom and inculcate leadership values in the next
generation of leaders. His role as a mentor with 'Young Presidents' Organization
, MRICS
(Member of Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) and the
Council of Governors board of APREA are testament to his commitment to
excellence, both in the present and for the future.
