While luxury real estate in India is undergoing a transformation, one brand in Pune has already moved leagues ahead of the industry in this category, earning it the reputation of being India’s most global real estate brand. That brand is none other than Pune-based real estate major – Panchshil Realty.

Over the last decade, Panchshil, headquartered out of Pune, has introduced several international brands like YOO, Trump Corporation, World Trade Center, JW Marriott, and Hilton to Pune city, and pioneered several best practices in construction in luxury real estate. As a matter of fact, much of this is being successfully employed in Panchshil’s nine-tower luxury project – Panchshil Towers, which interestingly is also one of Pune’s tallest luxury residential landmarks.

Spread across 14-acres in the swanky neighbourhood of EON Free Zone, Kharadi, and World Trade Center Pune, Panchshil Towers is a luxury project consisting of 3.5BHK, 4.5BHK luxury apartments, Penthouses, and a limited number of Podium Villas.

The project is ideal for end-users and those looking at a top-end second home, as possession for the first phase of 4 towers is currently going on.

Panchshil Towers has been designed by US-based architect Shekhar Ganti & Associates, and has several global names in construction technology partnering the development.

As you enter the project, intelligent use of materials and design meets your eye. The nine towers have a contemporary glass and aluminium (ACP) façade, which emanates splendour and strength.

Use of technology and engineering excellence is evident everywhere in the project. Panchshil Towers holds the distinction of being a frontrunner in the large-scale use of the globally prevalent practice of Dry Construction Technology (DCT), a process that eliminates usage of brick and concrete, and has reduced the usage of water in the project significantly.

Other breakthrough technologies at Panchshil Towers include the use of Viega and Geberit firefighting systems from Germany that is non-welded, with almost zero chance of corrosion or leakage.

The project also has technology-rich features like VRF central-air-conditioning by Samsung (thus reducing the energy footprint), and 100% power-backup.

As residents enter the luxurious lobby, silent Mitsubishi elevators whiz them off to the tower apartments. The elevators have a speed of 2.5 meters per second taking residents to the upper floors in under a minute. The towers also have private elevators specifically for the Penthouse & Podium Villa residents.

Depending on configuration, the Apartments have large family-centric spaces like exterior decks, lounge living, family area, study, lounge, and exterior decks.

Within the apartment, security is assured through the use of a 3-in-1 Yale locking system which allows residents to access the main door using either a key, fingerprint or passcode.

The use of technology continues within the apartments with a five-mode mood-lighting system. Instead of bricks and mortar, all apartments have dry-walls with superior imported materials and also free-up usable carpet areas.

Panchshil Towers also prides itself as being the first project in the entire country where pre-fabricated bathrooms, branded as The BathPods, are fitted directly into the apartments. The BathPods are completely built units, with all fittings and fixtures in place ensuring outstanding finish and zero leakage.

A perfect blend of beauty and functionality, the bathrooms come equipped with an imported washstand, mirror and shower enclosures that are among the finest in quality.

The bedrooms are a sanctuary of privacy with an unobtrusive lighting scheme, attached bathrooms, and spacious walk-in closets. Bedrooms come with wooden flooring, which is fixed over a sub-floor, enabling proper levelling.
