Canopy Dwellings - cheated apartment owners

Review On Canopy Estates, Bangalore

I booked an apartment in Canopy Calyx Apartments (behind Lumbini gardens) in Feb 2007. We got the possession of the apartment only in Sept 2011. That too after a lot of pressure from the apartment owners and constant follow ups. They were following up regularly when payments were expected from our side, but once they got the last payment, they stopped further construction and work came to a standstill.

As of date they still haven't completed the work mentioned on the agreement - like BWSSB connection, Club house, Gym. They made a lot of promises, but they never kept them. They did not even give the association money owed to it. Later we learnt they owe some money to the landowners as well. They mentioned they will convert the apartment from B-khata to A khata, which was never done.

Every time they came up with some or the other dumb excuse not to get the work done on time. Also they made many basic mistakes in the plumbing design, because of which we had to endure plumbing and masonry work after moving in. And they never bothered to clean up - left it to the apartment owners to clean up mess created by them.

And now all the pending work was completely stopped once and for all by Faisal Rizvi who put the onus of completion on his brother's company which was not involved in the first place. If there was a prize for pulling wool over one's eyes, he would get the first prize thousand times over. Another saying which comes to my mind thinking of how he has cheated us is " as slippery as an eel". He is all the above and more - sly and wily.

My only suggestion to whosoever reading this review is - go and check out the board of management of the developer you want to invest in. If the name "Faisal Rizvi" appears anywhere you might as well forget the money you invested.

Don't be foolish to invest in any of their projects even after reading this review. Believe me, you will be spared a lot of unnecessary hassle and tension, that too just to get what you paid for by putting in your hard earned money.
