The awards were announced at a star studded event attended by opinion makers of the Real Estate sector and well-known celebrities from Bollywood, recently.
Talking about the prestigious honour, Mr. Chetan Shah, Vice Chairman, Marathon Group, said, “The vision of Ramniklal Z. Shah, Chairman, Marathon Group, to provide a high value added home at lowest cost is fulfilled. We shall continue and vouch that every year we build 100 homes for this segment.”
Mr. Mayur Shah, Managing Director, Marathon Group said, “It is indeed a moment of honour and pleasure that one of our dream projects has been awarded as the Best Low-Cost Residential project. The credit certainly goes to the Marathon team, its research, innovative design, latest aluminium shuttering technology, planning, strategy, marketing, etc. It is the peoples’ effort that has transformed into a project which offers world-class facilities at affordable rates.”
Marathon Nagari is situated in Badlapur, one of the fastest growing suburbs in Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) which boasts developed infrastructure and connectivity to other parts of the city. In addition the location retains the freshness of the nature, especially, the project which is bestowed with naturally green surroundings. All these factors make Marathon Nagari a viable option for housing.
In a cosmopolitan metro like Mumbai, where land supply is limited and demand for housing is ever increasing, Marathon Group was one of the first few developers to identify the need and importance of township.
“It was our dream to create comfortable housing facilities for the masses and at the same time make them reasonably priced for the target buyers. It gives us immense pleasure to see the accomplishment of the dream in such a way, which is benefitting a large group of customers,” concluded Mr. Shah.
Echoing the success of Marathon Nagari, which sold off all 600 apartments, Marathon Group has recently launched Marathon Nagari NX in the vicinity.
