New Delhi (India) : The residential real estate brand is going all in to conserve Earth with GPP ONE, a limited-edition Nature Villa community near Ahmedabad that’s 90% covered in greenery and 100% powered by the Sun. With GPP ONE, Green Panther Properties is at the helm of changing the landscape, figuratively and literally.“The goal is to make sustainable living the new normal. And GPP ONE is a critically important step forward”, stated Mr. Amit Rao, the founder of Green Panther Properties. Located on the bank of the 70-meter-wide Narmada Canal, GPP ONE is a community of eco-luxurious villas near Ahmedabad. The project embraces the principles of sustainability and co-existence in their most candid forms while also ensuring the luxuries of a weekend home.
GPP ONE is unlike any other gated community in Ahmedabad or even Gujarat. Staying true to its roots of natural living, the project is surrounded by water bodies on 3 sides and a dense forest on the fourth end. More than that, it harnesses the power of the Sun to facilitate life via solar energy. Dissecting the details of the project, Mr. Amit Rao explained, “It truly is nature’s abode and redefines how residential projects based on sustainability are built. For starters, the entire project will be powered by a solar plant that will harness up to 350 kW of energy at the project and villa levels. Furthermore, the 24-meter-high water tank will ensure huge savings of space and power as every home will get high-pressure water flow through a centralized power pump, which in turn is powered by solar. So, electricity and water are technically free at GPP ONE.” When the first humans emerged, they employed nature’s help for food, shelter, and even clothing. Fast forward to today, we have stripped the planet of almost all its resources, putting it in imminent danger.
In our pursuit of a comfortable life, we have turned a blind eye to the health of our environment and all other life forms that depend on it. Here are a few eye-openers that indicate how unsustainable our current way of life is:
- Almost the entire global population (99%) breathes air that exceeds safe limits for pollution. (Source: WHO, April 2022)
- Water scarcity could displace 700 million individuals by 2030 globally. (Source: UNICEF)
- Almost 50% of Earth’s original forest cover is gone, much of it was destroyed within the past 3 decades. (Source: World Resources Report)
- About 385 million cases of PESTICIDE POISONING occur worldwide every year. (Source: Pesticide Atlas 2022)
While GPP ONE uses nature to power life in its community, it is also conscious about the health of its surrounding ecosystem. The project maintains a green-to-grey ratio of 9:1, making it conducive for countless species of flora and fauna to flourish. And to recharge the groundwater levels, a provision for a dozen percolation wells has also been made. One of the most important ways that GPP ONE promotes sustainable living is with its ingenious provision for residents to grow their own food. The rising levels of pesticide-induced toxicity in raw foods have become a serious threat. To combat this crisis, members of the community can opt in for a poly-net house where they can grow toxins-free, organic food. As such, GPP ONE respects all nature life, thereby creating a beautiful, green escape for like-minded, eco-conscious nature lovers.
Where Luxury Coincides with Sustainability & Co-existence
Green Panther Properties, in propelling its philosophy of sustainability & co-existence, didn’t compromise on the luxury factor either. In fact, GPP ONE is decked with elite lifestyle amenities, enhanced by nature’s soothing presence, for an authentic farmhouse experience. Each nature villa is set on an expansive canvas averaging 2000-square-yard plot where you get to design a farmhouse to your preferences. More than that, each nature villa is bespoke with the facility of opt-in and opt-out amenities.
Mr. Amit Rao further explained, “The amenities include a private garden, a tunnel house, a swimming pool, a shack house, a water body, and a poly net house to grow their own food. More importantly, each villa is Vastu-compliant with no south-facing villas, and in sync with the sun, water, wind, and your energy consumption.”
GPP ONE also features a host of communal arrangements for recreation like the Earth Ship (its flagship clubhouse, indoor games, yoga deck, multi-sports court, and more for a blissful time amidst nature.
The Science & Art of Sustainable Living
The location of Green Panther Properties’ first eco-luxury villa project near Ahmedabad is anything but a random decision. “GPP ONE dwells in a very lucrative location. After visiting and meticulously considering hundreds of options, we arrived at this unique location that proved to be the most strategic setting for the nature living concept.” shares Mr. Rao. The project shares its address with the 70m wide Narmada Canal and has set up camp just 3 mins from the main Kadi Dam waterfall. The popular Thol Lake and Bird Sanctuary are 15 minutes away. Moreover, GPP ONE is designed in adherence to the PLATINUM RATING by IGBC (Indian Green Building Council) and is currently in the process of seeking official certification. Considering the plethora of green measures taken by Green Panther Properties in their project GPP ONE, one hopes that more and more residential real estate companies adopt sustainable and green development practices across their projects.
