A study of ´Super Luxury´ real estate development by Master Sun Consulting pinpoints to the new superbly profitable high end niche in India. The super luxury development and its demand is unfazed by a slowdown in the real estate industry in general. Super premium housing is growing at 25-30%, luxury housing has already grabbed a 10% of the housing market in value terms. Analysts say the country has seen an unmatched surge in demand. Super Luxury in a Growth Orbit India, with a 20.5 per cent increase in the number of HNWIs to 100,015 recorded the second-highest growth rate in HNWIs globally, said the annual World Wealth Report by Merrill Lynch and Cap Gemini.



India trailed only Singapore, where the increase in HNWIs grew by 21.2 per cent. The HNWIs are keen to flaunt their wealth and acquire prestige assets. Realizing the market for super-luxury homes, more and more developers are coming up with million dollar homes in formats ranging from condominiums and suburban town houses to golf villas. Mantri Developers and Prestige aren’t the only ones eyeing the super-luxury market in Bangalore. Dubai’s ETA Star Property Developers (P) Ltd, Nitesh Estates and Skyline Constructions Ltd too have set out to build multi-crore villas in the city.



The Prestige Group’s golf villa development boasts of an 18 hole champion-sized golf course designed by PGA Design along with the mock-up mansions. The mansions reiterate the luxury and grandeur  which is the central theme of this project. Set against the picturesque Nandi Hills, Prestige Golfshire is spread across 275 sprawling acres. The property comes complete with ultra-luxurious mansions, the 300-bed Marriott International Hotel and a private lake.



Adding to the beautiful golf course is the Prestige Golfshire Clubhouse – Falcon Greens, which among other facilities like a well-stocked bar, a cigar lounge and a restaurant, will also house a golf pro-shop. The clubhouse is a unique blend of self-indulgent features, contemporary design and impeccable service. Perched on the highest point of the 275-acre property of Prestige Golfshire is located the 5-star, luxury resort hotel – The Marriott. This hotel is bound to impress with its panoramic view of the golf course, the 300 rooms that include 30 luxury suites, ballrooms, banquet halls, infinity pools, a lounge bar, conference and convention centres.

 “We are aspiring to create premium residential developments that redefine luxury living. The idea is not to create houses or villas but to gift people a lifestyle with each Prestige development. The Prestige Group which is synonymous with many firsts is now all set to gift Bangalore its first world-class golf luxury resort with Prestige Golfshire. With this project, we also introduce the Marriott International Hotel to Bangalore.” says Irfan Razack, CMD, Prestige Group.

Dawood Ibrahim has evolved from a Mumbai bomber to a full-blown global terrorist.

Dawood Ibrahim has evolved from a Mumbai bomber to a full-blown global terrorist. Intelligence agencies in New Delhi believe in the complete radicalization of the D-company boss, as he finds ways to further his terror network, aided by the ISI, and emerge truly as a global threat.

Dawood's relations with ISI date back to 1993 when he executed the blasts in Mumbai but until a few years ago he was viewed as a logistics man for ISI by Indian agencies. LeT, the other arm of ISI, played the role of the main aggressor. The first Mumbai attack appeared to be one-off terrorist crime by a man focused on his smuggling and extortion operations.

"In the past he was looked upon mainly as a mercenary. LeT was more ideology driven but Dawood and his gang now seem to have merged into LeT," said an official, adding that Dawood now presents as much a danger to India as to the US or any other target country of the jihadis.

The transformation has happened because of his dependence on ISI for his own security as well as his desire for respectability as a jehadi as a protection mechanism. Initially ISI is said to have used him for pumping fake currency into India but as his links with LeT grew, he helped LeT find new recruits in India, mainly in Gujarat and Maharashtra.

His well-documented links with LeT have taken on a menacing proportion because of the growing collaboration between LeT and al-Qaida. LeT, so far focused on J&K and India, has grown in ambition and reach, with evidence piling of its attempts to attack targets in the West.

It was his growing link with al-Qaida which led finally, in 2003, to the US Treasury Department declaring him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGP). As late as January 2010, a US Congressional report warned that Dawood and his gang posed a direct threat to US interests in South Asia.

Post-Osama bin Laden's killing, al-Qaida's dependence on LeT may increase, leading Dawood to use his vast network stretching from South Asia to Middle East to Africa for terror activities. "That is something the Americans need to factor in," said an intel officer.
