URBANA NEWS NETWORK
Ko lkata: The latest buzzwords in
architecture and construction
technology are fast catching up
here in lndia.Terms like sustainable
construction and green living are
moving in to the mainstream
vocabulary with more and more
high-end constructions focusing
on them. In Eastern India,nowhere
is this more evident than in Urbana,
Kolkata ’s largest project.
Under construction as per
international standards by the
leading engineering firm of the
country,Larsen &Toubro,Urbana is
one of the safest and most
technically advanced residential
projects. Every aspect of the project
has been tested by experts,be it for
structura l integrity or minimal
environmental impact.
Take for instance the fact that all
the towers in Urbana have been
tested for wind force resistance by
CPP,Texas,while Loadtest
International Inc. Gainesville,USA ,
performed extreme load testing to
ensure that the foundations remain
rock steady.
Even apart from these tests,
construction in Urbana follows very
strict guidelines from
implementation of a third-party
quality lab for testing construction
materials,to using precast facades
and custom aluminium formwork
for environment friendly
construction.

A Aproject of this magnitude also
demands expertise far beyond the
scope of local talent,which is why
Urbana put together a crackteam
of international designers,
six of the leading names in the
realty business,Urbana is
designed to be a township of the
future. Housing Kolkata ’s tallest
towers,standing 40 and 45 storeys
tall,Urbana offers a lifestyle
unmatched by any other premium
real estate project in the east.
Whether it ’s the 33 acres of open
area inside,eco-friendly
electronics in every apartment,
automatic fire safety systems,
underground parking for almost
2600 cars,water treatment
facilities or the 80,000 sq ft

the makings of becoming the
city’s most preferred address.

Kolkata ’s first step to a whole new
wor ld of change.
Kolkata: Not so long ago,six of
the nation’s leading real estate
developers came together to give
shape to a dream.The dream was
to transform the average
Kol katan’s idea of urban living and
in the process,change the city ’s
skyline forever.Today,we call
it Urbana.
Urbana is much more than just a
premium residential comp lex,it is
the culmination of years of
meticulous planning to give
Kolkata its first world-class,
future-ready township. Which is
why every facet of life in Urbana
has been developed keeping in
mind every possible requirement
its residents may have.
To start with,Urbana’s location is
right at the heart of Kolkata’s new
real estate hub.This locality is
conveniently connected to almost
all parts of the city,and is literally,
minutes away from everywhere.
Inside the township, is every
modern amenity that one might
need. From an exclusive club with
a fully equipped,state-of-the-art
gym with sports facilities,to the
10 acres of lush greens within the
complex and underground
parking for almost 2600 2600
cars,
every detail has been taken
care of.
I
Moreover,every apartment comes
with energy-saving VRF ACsACs
,
security video door phones and
24/7 power back-up.With
advanced automated fire fighting
equipment,the township is also
one of the safest in the country.
Add to that,the various
infrastructural initiatives KMC and
KMDA have undertaken to ease
the flow of traffic around the EM
Bypass,bringing Urbana even
closer to the heart of the city.
Urbana ,however,is a shared
dream.Today,more than 800
families share the vision that their
new home will be the next big
change.And brick by brick,it is all
coming together.The change
has begun.
