visions of world-renowned designers like

Philippe Starck, Marcel Wanders, Jade Jagger,

and Kelly Hoppen, it’s one of the best in the

business. The 228 YOO inspired by Starck

designer apartments range from 5,100 to

6,900sq ft and are spread over six towers across

17 acres. The steady buzz surrounding the

property has ensured that while only the fi rst

phase—consisting of three towers—has been

delivered, 60 per cent of the complete project is

already sold. From the landscaping and the

furnishings in the apartments to the amenities

and services, luxury is woven into the very fabric

of the project. The exacting standards at

yoopune are incomparable across the country,

let alone within the city.

Tell us more about the architectural

infl uences of yoopune?

The design philosophy of yoopune is to create

the semblance of a village in an urban

environment. The core thought behind the

architecture addresses the importance of a

home and how its function has changed over

time. It needs to be a place where people can

turn to for comfort and a place of nourishment.

With a soul-soothing, fi ve-acre rainforest-like

area in the heart of the property, and amenities

that pamper your every need, yoopune was

built to be an exclusive sanctuary.

Why should an investor from Mumbai

consider Pune as an option?

Pune is a vibrant and modern city. It has a

thriving nightlife and is fi lled with excellent fi ne

dining options, classy bars and shopping

destinations. Its residents also enjoy temperate

weather all year round. Being a mere 170 km

away from Mumbai, it also serves as a great

weekend getaway for Mumbaikars.
