Gurugram: Chintels Paradiso's builder seeks approval for phase-wise redevelopment

                Gurgaon: Chintels Paradiso's builder has 
submitted an application with the department 
of town and country planning to redevelop the 
society in phases. DTCP (headquarters) is 
expected 
to send a report to the enforcement wing of 
the department in Gurgaon soon.
If accepted, the builder will be able to 
reconstruct the towers declared unsafe at the 
Sector 109 society in one phase and repair the 
ones considered habitable in another.
Of the nine towers at Paradiso, six have been 
declared unsafe by the district administration. 
Two others were also declared unsafe by CBRI, 
the organisation that the builder 
independently brought in to carry out structural 
audits, but these were not officially declared 
unfit for habitation.
According to the builder, this approach will 
expedite reconstruction of unsafe towers. 
Homebuyers are closely following the process 
as phase-wise development could affect 
reconstruction and repair timelines.
For homebuyers of the towers considered 
unsafe who opted for reconstruction, it could 
mean that they get their flats sooner. 
Residents of habitable towers are eager to see 
if there are 
any major changes in layout, and if there are 
infrastructural upgrades, would they require 
homebuyers' consent.
"We've been living in uncertainty for far too 
long. The phasing process might be a step 
forward, but our main concern is the timeline 
for redevelopment and whether it will truly 
address the 
safety issues," said a resident of one of the 
habitable towers at Chintels Paradiso.
