Wow! At first you would be impressed with the grand entrance, lush green landscape garden (under construction), fountains, and the friendly Brigade team (all women team- Ms Indrani, Ms Manisha Deb, Ms Bindu, etc) at Brigade Metropolis. Welcome! UPGRADE TO BRIGADE. As you enter the apartment you would not fail to notice the rooms have a beautiful view of the lush greens.
What you will fail to notice is that rooms are a direct import from Tokyo – you can hardly fit in a queen size bed in these. As you enter the bathroom, you would thank god that you are not taller than 6 feet else you would have hit the ceiling of these compact bathrooms. You would also thank your stars that you are not fat like American; else you might not have fitted into one.
The wash basin is the highlight of two bedroom apartment. It is beautifully made in black granite and white ceramic and reminds you of your village home/ farm house. It location is so critical that you can see your loved one brushing from kitchen, dining room and both the rooms. So Brigade truly believes in ‘Cleanliness is next to godliness’. So now everyone in your family will know the secret of your dental hygiene. The next thing you should ignore to look are the floors, else they remind you of your office canteen. Yes, they are made from the same non-vitrified, non-branded tiles.
And finishing is as good as the office canteen floor. So is there anything good about Metropolis? The Kitchen…. It is huge compare to the size of apartment, specially the three bedroom apartments. You begun to wonder if Brigade has planned the house in such a way that women should stay in kitchen and men in bedroom. But if big kitchen means good food; I promise you would get the best of food at Brigade Metropolis. Only if my spouse knew how to cook! What else is bigger in Brigade Metropolis? Yes the price you pay for the house. It’s huge! Beside the normal price there are so many additional things you pay. Name anything, it is additional and you pay extra. So if they say the house is of Rs. 60 lacs/- you must atleast have Rs 75 lacs as this will be the price you pay. So what is not big?
The house! The carpet area is approximate 70%. Now you know where your 30% of the house went. Yes, landscape garden, club, office and shops, etc. Who needs a big house when you have all these? Right! So when marketing team tells you that only few are left and you should grab them immediately! You should appreciate the fact that Brigade Metropolis is in making for last 5 years (booking started in year 2004) and it is another 2 years away from completion. So I am sure they would have sold upto 70% of the project by now. Last but not the least, is the marketing team. They have super human ability to disappear. Once they have done a favor of selling you the house. They disappear. Busy…..Busy…. trying to sell one apartment at a time. And there are as many as 1600 of them. So these wonder women become so exclusive that you would do anything to meet them, so as to ask them the only question you would have in your mind. Mera befook kyu banaya ?
- Thank You! We appreciate your effort.
