Open space in a residential project refers to a piece of land or area which does not have any structure or construction done on it. Open spaces can include green spaces, landscapes, parks, and community gardens, among others. At Mahindra Lifespaces, we ensure a minimum of 50% of the total land parcel is dedicated to open and green spaces.

Combining two apartments is very common these days. If you are looking for a bigger home to live in with your joint family or are looking for more privacy, this provision is provided in many buildings.

The option of the Jodi apartment is pre-decided by the developer at specific locations and cannot be combined anywhere within the building.
Connectivity plays an important role in choosing the location for your home.

In India, now most RCC framed buildings are built as per local bylaws, the National Building Code and relevant Indian Standard codes that are considered safe to withstand earthquake forces. As India is divided into various seismic zones, it is important for builders and authorities to ensure that the design complies with the relevant IS standards.
There are specialized green building certification bodies like the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA), etc. which certify a building to be a sustainable/green development. A green-certified building is one that, by its design, construction, or operation, reduces or eliminates negative impacts on our climate and natural environment.
