In an evolving real estate landscape, the aspirations of new home buyers are shaping the future of residential developments. Today’s buyers are seeking more than just a residence; they desire a holistic experience that complements their lifestyle and enhances their quality of life. Leading this transformative trend are lifestyle clubhouses, a burgeoning phenomenon that redefines the essence of community amenities within housing projects.
Traditionally, residential amenities like gyms and pools were considered sufficient. However, the contemporary buyer’s expectations have transcended these basics. Lifestyle clubhouses have emerged as the epitome of luxury and convenience, offering a myriad of facilities designed to cater to the multifaceted needs of residents.
Navin Makhija, Managing Director of The Wadhwa Group, highlights the shift in buyer preferences, “Purchasing a home today is synonymous with adopting a lifestyle. Today, a home buyer first looks at all the amenities that are provided in the project, apart from the location and connectivity factor. In this largesse of amenities on offer, the Clubhouse stands out as a jewel among the rest.”
“Our project, Atmosphere O2 in Mulund, is a testament to this change. It boasts an 80,000 sq ft clubhouse that not only serves as a recreational hub but also supports work-from-home needs with amenities like co-working spaces and podcast rooms,” he added.
Similarly, Umesh Jandial, Chief Business Officer at Omkar Realtors, emphasises the clubhouse’s role in community building. “The Lifestyle Clubhouse has now become the cornerstone of any luxurious residential project in Mumbai. It is here that new friendships blossom and it is these very clubhouses that are instrumental in further cementing those relationships into one that last a lifetime.”
“For instance, our luxurious residential project Alta Monte located at Malad, Mumbai is one such project that boasts of having one of the largest lifestyle clubhouse ‘La Monte’ across the western suburbs of Mumbai. This clubhouse is spread across 70,000 sq. ft of space and has one of the biggest banquet halls to be found in any housing project within the western suburban belt of Mumbai. This clubhouse caters to the diverse needs of every family member from fitness, entertainment, social engagements to leisure and wellness.” added Jandial.
Samyak Jain, Director of Siddha Group, also points out the centrality of such clubhouses in luxury projects. “The clubhouse along with the facilities provided in a residential project is instrumental in elevating the lifestyle of its residents. Our landmark project Siddha Sky in Sion NX features a 22,000 sq ft clubhouse with luxurious amenities to rejuvenate residents and enhance their lifestyle quotient. In addition, the icing on the cake is our Rooftop Skywalk where we have the Sky Lounge, stargazing spots that promise to create lasting memories.”
