Mantra is a leading real estate developer which has been in the market for 16 years and has a portfolio of 12 completed projects and 18 ongoing projects in Pune. The firm began its operations in the housing sector, focused on providing affordable houses for everybody. Mantra has grown with its customers, instilling trust and confidence in the brand.

Q2.) Incorporating smart home technology into luxury properties is becoming increasingly important to attract buyers. Can you speak about some of the ways you have inculcated the same in your recent projects.

Integrating smart home technology into luxury properties has become essential in appealing buyers’ interest. As technology continues to advance, homebuyers are increasingly seeking properties that offer convenience, security, and efficiency through smart features. At Mantra, we understand the significance of this trend and prioritize the incorporation of cutting-edge smart home systems in our luxury developments. These systems allow residents to control various aspects of their homes remotely, from lighting and temperature to security cameras and entertainment systems, enhancing both comfort and convenience.

In addition to smart home technology, our luxury properties at Mantra are equipped with a wide range of modern amenities tailored to enhance residents’ lifestyles. These include 100% EV charging stations, reflecting our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly living. Our fitness/yoga and spa facilities offer residents opportunities for relaxation and wellness within the comfort of their own community. Furthermore, we prioritize families by providing child-friendly amenities such as play areas and recreational spaces, ensuring that residents of all ages can enjoy their living environment. Security features are also paramount, with state-of-the-art systems implemented to ensure the safety and peace of mind of our residents.

By embracing smart home technology and offering an array of amenities, we ensure that our properties not only meet but exceed the expectations of modern buyers, providing them with a truly luxurious and connected living experience.

Q3.) Are there specific green building technologies or materials that you incorporate into your luxury property projects?

Green building technology refers to construction practices and materials that are designed to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability throughout the building’s lifecycle. This includes the use of renewable energy sources, energy-efficient appliances and systems, water conservation measures, and environmentally friendly building materials such as recycled or locally sourced materials. Additionally, green building technology often incorporates features like efficient insulation, natural lighting, and passive heating and cooling strategies to reduce energy consumption and enhance indoor environmental quality. Overall, green building technology aims to create healthier, more resource-efficient buildings that reduce carbon emissions, conserve natural resources, and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Currently, we utilize innovative Aluminum formwork technology in all our projects, ensuring both speed and sustainability. However, as for green building technology, it’s an area we’re exploring for future implementation. Currently, there aren’t many players incorporating green building practices in India, but it’s something we’re actively considering as part of our commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible development.

Q4.) What emerging technologies do you see having the biggest impact on the future of luxury real estate development?

Emerging technologies such as AI/IoT are poised to transform luxury real estate development by facilitating personalized living experiences tailored to individual preferences. Through AI, homes can adapt to residents’ needs, while IoT enables seamless connectivity and automation. Furthermore, immersive technologies like AR and VR tours revolutionize the home buying experience, offering virtual property viewings with realistic detail. Additionally, a shift towards greener construction methods emphasizes sustainability, utilizing eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs. These advancements not only redefine luxury living but also shape the future of real estate development in India, catering to evolving consumer demands and environmental considerations.
