Big Block South City 2 amenities are a cash grab.
After years of pushing projects, I'm finally looking for my own investment flat in Mohali. It's different when it's your own money, you know? I'm eyeing Big Block South City 2. On paper, amenities and all look great, but I know how marketing works. My big question for owners or agents who bought there: how's the actual construction quality holding up after a year or two? I'm talking about cracks, seepage, fitting issues — the stuff that eats into resale value and maintenance. And those swanky clubhouses... do they genuinely attract premium tenants and higher rents, or just hike up the monthly charges without much ROI? Honestly not sure if the amenity premium is justified for an investor. What's the real story, off the record?

Investor ke liye ROI dekhna toh banta hai
Yeh project toh ₹2.9 Cr – ₹3.7 Cr ki range mein hai, which is quite steep for Mohali, even with amenities. Aur possession date 2025-07-01 dikha raha hai, but they are saying 'COMPLETED'. Is it actually ready for possession or is there some catch? I heard about some delays with similar projects in the area. What's the ground reality on possession and actual move-in?
The price seems high *if* you compare it to older Mohali projects, but this is a luxury segment. With only 4 units, it's exclusive. Current market conditions in NCR are pushing up prices for niche, high-quality projects. For an investor, the key is the target tenant profile. If it attracts high-income professionals, the rental yield *can* be justified, but due diligence is crucial. Don't just look at the price tag, look at the potential tenant pool.
₹2.9 Cr – ₹3.7 Cr is too much for Mohali. For that price, you can get a decent 3BHK in Badshahpur or even some parts of Basai in Gurugram, which have better appreciation potential. Mohali rentals are not that great.
Possession is indeed 2025-07-01. 'COMPLETED' means construction is done, but legal formalities and OC/CC take time. Same story everywhere.
Bhai, Big Block ka naam sunke thoda darr lagta hai. My friend bought in one of their earlier projects near Airport Road (Gurgaon side) and construction quality was average. Lots of small issues kept popping up. For an investment, you need something solid.
While some Big Block projects, like the ones near Airport Road, might have had issues, South City 2 is a different ball game. It's their premium offering with only 4 units. That usually means more attention to detail. My cousin has a unit there (not an owner, but visits frequently) and says the finishings are good. But yes, always check yourself. Don't trust just one person's word.
Sahi keh rahe ho. Which project exactly near Airport Road? I'm looking at options there too and don't want to make a mistake. Any specific issues to watch out for?
Totally feel you on this! Amenities look good on brochure, but maintenance is a big headache later. Same worry here.

Construction quality is decent, not extraordinary. No major cracks in my unit yet after a year, but bathroom fittings feel a bit flimsy. Had to replace a tap myself. For the price, I expected better.
Amenities are definitely a cash grab. My monthly charges are insane for a gym I barely use.
