Noida real estate: Where are the real end-users at?
Since January I've been trying to decide between Shubhkamna Apartments and 3C Lotus Panache. I work in real estate, so I know the builder game, but buying for myself is different, right? Everyone glorifies Lotus Panache, but nobody talks about the PLC charges that add up. Honestly, the price per sqft is way higher than advertised once you factor that in. Shubhkamna is older, I know, but the carpet area efficiency seems better. More usable space, less super area BS. And honestly, possession risk is lower. Ready to move hai. Lotus Panache is still under construction, and delay ka toh scene rehta hi hai. Am I missing something big here? Change my mind.

So, what did you decide? Shubhkamna ya Lotus Panache? Update us!
One more thing to consider: parking space availability. Check both projects carefully. Noida mein parking is always a problem.
Possession status kya hai Lotus Panache ka? Which towers are ready, which are still delayed?
Shubhkamna has a better community feel, I think. Lotus Panache is massive, feels a bit impersonal.
Check the amenities completion in both projects. Gym, swimming pool...are they actually functional? I made that mistake once – paid for amenities that never got finished.
Honestly, for end-use, I'd lean towards Shubhkamna. Less hassle, more space, and lower risk. Lotus Panache is for investors looking for appreciation, I think.
At the end of the day, it's a personal choice. But you're asking the right questions. Don't get swayed by the marketing hype. Trust your gut.
Be careful — some of these builders have multiple delayed projects. Do your due diligence thoroughly. Don't just go by the marketing.
If you're working in real estate, you probably know this already, but get a good lawyer to review the agreement before you sign anything. Especially with these big builders.
Personally, I'd prioritize peace of mind over potential future gains. Ready to move is a huge advantage in Noida's current market. Rates are already rising!
Exactly! Rates are going up because of the new metro line extension. Buying ready to move saves you from future price hikes on under-construction projects.
U5, sahi baat hai. Stress-free hona important hai. Buying a home shouldn't be a constant headache.
Has anyone considered the resale value? Lotus Panache might have better appreciation potential in the long run because it's newer.
U13, appreciation depends on so many factors! Metro connectivity, infrastructure development...not just age of the building.
U13, resale value is a gamble. Market conditions change. End-use ke liye le rahe ho toh resale itna matter nahi karna chahiye.
Builder ne phir se date extend kar diya lol. Ek aur email aa gaya! Lotus Panache walon ka toh scene hi alag hai.
What's the current rate per sqft in Shubhkamna? Anyone have recent numbers?
U17, last I checked it was around 6500-7000 depending on the floor and facing. Negotiate hard!
U17, Propmyna pe listings check karo. You'll find some recent sales data there.
Don't forget to check RERA registration for Lotus Panache. See what the promised possession date is and if they've already extended it. That's your first red flag.
Mera bhi same experience tha 2 years ago. Was deciding between a ready-to-move in Sector 93A and an under-construction project in Sector 150. Went with the ready one. No regrets! That peace of mind is priceless. Sector 150 is still a construction zone.
Exactly! Sector 150 is all hype. Good connectivity eventually, but living there now must be a pain with all the construction.
U9, which project in 93A did you go for? I'm looking in that area too.
Sector 150 is all future potential, but the current rates are already factoring that in! Risky investment.
Shubhkamna is older, yes, but the construction quality is generally good. They used to build well back then! Now it's all about maximizing profit.
Bhai, you're thinking right. Lotus Panache is all marketing hype. PLC charges are insane! Shubhkamna is solid, ready to move, peace of mind. End-user ke liye, that's worth something.
Agree with U1. I've heard horror stories about Lotus Panache delays. Shubhkamna maybe older, but at least you know what you're getting. Check the maintenance charges though.
Carpet area efficiency is key! Super area toh loot hai. I bought in Sector 75 a few years back, same issue. Builder was selling 'dream homes' but the actual space was tiny. Agree with you on possession risk too.
Lotus Panache ka location is pretty good though, right? Close to the expressway. Shubhkamna is a bit more interior. How much are we talking about PLC charges for Panache? Anyone have a breakdown?
U4, heard it's easily adding 10-15% to the base price! Depends on the unit, floor, etc. but definitely a significant amount.
U4, location is good, but Sector 110 mein traffic is becoming a nightmare. Especially during peak hours.
U4, PLC charges mein park facing, corner unit, floor rise...sab kuch daal dete hain! It's a racket.
