Capital Athena: RWA charges, ROI ka kya scene hai?
Did a site visit to Capital Athena last week. I'm in a 2BHK now, thinking of a 3BHK there as an investment. Builder ne bola tha rental yield will be good, but RWA charges are looking steep. Is the price jump worth it for ROI? Already have a home loan, so every penny counts.

Final thought: Don't just rely on online info. Visit the site at different times, talk to security guards, local shopkeepers. They often give the most honest picture of the project and builder.
Also, check the builder's reputation for post-possession services. Maintenance issues are common, and a non-responsive builder can be a nightmare. Don't just look at the shiny new flat.
Noida mein abhi bahut options hain, U1. Don't rush into a project with so many red flags. Your existing loan makes it riskier. Maybe a resale flat in a well-established society?
Exactly, U7. Resale value in Capital Athena will also be affected by these issues. So future exit strategy bhi consider karo. Investment hai toh liquidity bhi important hai.
U1, have you considered the hidden costs? Stamp duty, registration, interior work – yeh sab bhi ROI ko affect karta hai. Builder generally these costs ko downplay karte hain.
It's a classic case of 'too good to be true' rental yield promises. With your existing loan, better be safe than sorry. Maybe a commercial property for better yield if investment is the primary goal?
Ek baat aur: connectivity. Noida-Greater Noida Expressway se theek hai, but internal roads aur daily commute ka kya scene hai? Metro extension kab tak aayega udhar? Yeh sab rental value ko affect karta hai.
Good point, U20. I hadn't thought much about the metro. Current 2BHK is very well connected. This is a big factor for potential tenants.
Metro ka plan toh hai, but it's years away. Abhi toh mostly personal vehicle pe depend karna padega. Which means more fuel cost and traffic.
Overall, U1, it seems like Capital Athena might not be the best bet for quick ROI or peace of mind due to RWA, delays, and connectivity. Maybe explore other options or negotiate hard on the price if you're still keen.
The price jump for a 3BHK in an under-construction project with these issues, especially when you already have a home loan, sounds like a high-risk move. Re-evaluate your investment goals thoroughly.
My final take: Builder ki baaton pe mat jao. RERA site, builder reviews, existing residents se baat karo. If you're stretching your finances, safety first. Capital Athena ka ROI 'ka kya scene hai' - abhi toh doubtful lag raha hai.
Possession status kya hai Capital Athena ka? Many projects in Sector 150 are still stuck or facing big delays. Mera friend bhi fasa hua hai ek project mein, 2 saal se possession nahi mila.
U14, official RERA date is something like Dec 2023 for some towers, but ground reality is very different. Builder ne already extension apply kiya hua hai. Expect at least another 1-1.5 years.
Lol, builders ki RERA dates toh bas paper pe hoti hain. Actual possession kab milega, woh toh Bhagwan jaane. Mera bhi same experience tha 2 years ago with another project.
As an NRI, I was also considering Sector 150 for investment. But the uncertainty with possession and high RWA charges make it less appealing. Rental income is crucial for us, and delays just eat into it.
Forget ROI for a moment. Have you checked the actual construction quality? Site visit pe toh sab chamka dete hain, but a detailed inspection after plastering is done reveals a lot. My advice: talk to current residents if any are there.
U1, considering your existing home loan, I'd suggest looking at ready-to-move options in nearby developed sectors like 7x or 137. Thoda premium hoga, but peace of mind milega and immediate rental income. Sector 150 is still a long-term play.
Builder ka track record is actually a concern for Capital Athena. They have a history of delays in their other projects. RERA completion date bhi check karlo, I bet it's already pushed.
U8, absolutely. RERA site pe dekhoge toh dates extended milengi. Mera ek relative bhi fasa hai, 2 saal se possession nahi mila.
Is builder ka toh naam hi kharab hai. 3 projects delayed hain in Greater Noida West. Be very careful, U1.
U1, if you're looking for investment, look beyond just rental yield. Appreciation is key. Sector 150 has potential, but current market conditions with high interest rates are slowing down sales. Cash flow positive hona mushkil hai.
True, high interest rates are killing the investor sentiment. Rental yield is barely covering EMI for many, forget positive cash flow.
Exactly, and 3BHKs are harder to rent out quickly in these new sectors unless the price is very competitive. 2BHKs have better liquidity.
Bhai, RWA charges in Noida are a real pain. Capital Athena ka kitna bol rahe hain? Mera friend bhi dekh raha tha udhar, he said maintenance is like a second EMI.
Rental yield? Builder toh hamesha high dikhata hai. Sector 150 mein abhi rental market is quite soft, especially for 3BHKs. Aur investment ke liye toh location bhi matter karta hai, connectivity abhi bhi issue hai.
Totally agree with U2. Capital Athena RWA charges are definitely on the higher side, around ₹3.5-4 per sq ft I heard. Plus, amenities ka bhi issue hai, kitne complete hue hain?
U4, exactly! ₹4/sqft is too much. Gaadi parking, security, common area maintenance – sab mein kaat rahe hain. Mera toh experience hai ki builders initially low figures quote karte hain, phir RWA formation ke baad badha dete hain.
Haan yaar, this is the standard trick. My society in Sector 78 started with ₹2.5, ab ₹3.8 ho gaya hai in 3 years. Aur services utni khaas nahi hain.
Capital Athena waale bolte hain ki they have premium amenities, so charges justify hote hain. But 3.5-4 is still steep for Sector 150. Compare with ATS Pristine or Samridhi Grand Avenue, unke thode better hain.
