Hiland Park

Though Udoyan, The Condoville of Ambuja Realty close by is the first signature project of large-format organized housing complex in the city, it is the Hiland Park that showed the ‘vertical path’ for housing. Its 9 buildings tower from being 18-storey (Ridge, Loch, Isle and Glen) to 28-storey high (Peak).

If Hiland Park’s vertical ‘take-off’ is a first for the city, the reason of its being well-known at least among the Kolkattans of the south is the giant retail store Big Bazaar of the Pantaloons Group forming the anchor at Hiland Park’s market complex, The Metropolis.

Big Bazaar along with Fame, the 4-screen multiplex, are such a hit with shoppers and fun-lovers in the entire belt where The Metropolis is located on EM Bypass that on most evenings the area around becomes choc-a-bloc with people and cars making it impossible to navigate even on foot.

Hiland Park will now have strong competition from South City on Anwar Shah Road both in terms of height of the buildings and the mall it will have. With 4 35-storey an 1 15-storey residential towers and at least 4 giant anchors for its mall, South City will easily pale Hiland Park in coming days.

And then there is Ideal Heights coming up near Sealdah with residential towers up to 24-storey high.

Incidentally, ‘Kolkata Property Show’ has reached UK, and currently the city’s reputed real estate developers have congregated there for the purpose. The exhibition is part of India Property Show taking place from 20th to 29th of this month.

Here are a couple of snaps of Hiland Park, the second one sourced from their website.
