The contract was signed at the rate of per acre. As per the contract, the real estate developer was to construct apartments measuring 430 ft2 and 861 ft2 (50% each) as "Medium Income Group Homes" (affordable housing). Construction started in 1989 and the area then was barren and hilly. The area lacked basic infrastructure such as roads, sanitary sewer lines, water or electrical connections. Along with developing the basic infrastructure, more than 100,000 trees were also planted. By early 1990s the first phase of apartments were ready and were initially sold at the rate of per ft2.〔 In late 1990s, the construction and the architecture strategy was changed from "affordable" to upmarket housing and the neoclassical architecture was adapted as theme for upcoming buildings. By mid 1990s, a shopping mall (Galleria) was constructed at the geographical center of the township. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hiranandani Gardens, Mumbai」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
