implement the project since till then there was no mechanism to
take up cluster development.

• The layout of the township is such that buildings rise progressively in height
from south to north, thus ensuring that every flat catches the breeze coming
in from the sea.

the remaining four towers with 1,200-1,600 residential units will be put on
for sale that will help to cover the project cost.
