Construction is currently underway and the first phase, which includes entire Infrastructure and 40 Room keys. The first phase will be completed by March 2021. Once this phase is developed, the owner will kick-start the Community building and curation of Experiences. Once we are able to build a sizeable community, we plan to start the second phase completing all 96 Rooms.

We are expecting the Second phase to conservatively start in Year 2022 and finish before Year 2025. Given the large size of property we have designed the modularity in such a way that there is no disturbance or construction activity visible for the existing patrons.

The total coverage of constructable land to total land is well below 10%.
