Case Studies
Case Study 1: Resolving Illegal Shops in Residential Flats
Challenge: Illegal shop owners were opposing redevelopment with unreasonable demands, obstructing the progress for other members. Despite multiple requests, these shop owners refused to cooperate.
Solution: We filed a litigation case against the non-compliant shop owners in the High Court. Our legal intervention successfully paved the way for the redevelopment project to proceed.
Outcome: The High Court ruling allowed the redevelopment project to move forward, benefiting all residential members by ensuring compliance and removing obstacles.
Case Study 2: Convincing Members Objecting to Redevelopment
Challenge: 3 out of 16 members were objecting to the redevelopment project, causing delays and uncertainty.
Solution: We provided comprehensive consultations and clearly explained all the benefits of redevelopment to the opposing members. Through transparent communication and demonstrating the value increase, we were able to gain their support.
Outcome: The initial value of the old flats was approximately 20-23 lakhs per flat. After redevelopment, the value of each flat increased to 60 lakhs. The project proceeded smoothly with unanimous support, significantly enhancing property values for all members.
Case Study 3: Managing Commercial Shops in a Fully Residential Housing Society
Challenge: One of our clients, a fully residential housing society, faced difficulties with the inclusion of new commercial shops in their redevelopment project. The project’s feasibility report required the construction and sale of these shops to ensure financial viability. However, there were concerns about potential nuisances from certain types of commercial activities.
Solution: Our consultation involved amending the society’s bylaws and establishing rules for the new commercial shops. We addressed the nuisance concerns by implementing specific restrictions. These included prohibiting the use of margin areas for shop activities and banning certain types of businesses, such as Pan Gallas, pan parlors, and SPAs, which were likely to create disturbances.
Outcome: By amending the bylaws and setting clear rules for commercial activities, we successfully mitigated potential nuisance issues. This solution allowed the redevelopment project to proceed smoothly, ensuring both the financial feasibility of the project and the preservation of the residential nature of the society.
Case Study 4: Unlocking Value through Redevelopment in Bhavnagar
Challenge: Our clients in Bhavnagar were facing opposition from a group of non-consenting members regarding a boutique redevelopment project on a small portion of land. The reluctance of these members threatened the viability of the project.
Solution: We conducted a comprehensive project assessment and provided detailed consultations to address the concerns of the objecting members. Our approach included preparing an in-depth project report that highlighted the potential benefits and value increase from the redevelopment. Through strategic discussions, we facilitated an agreement where the members agreed to pay extra to the developer, ensuring the project’s financial feasibility.
Outcome: Our consulting efforts resulted in unanimous consent for the redevelopment project. In just 18 months, the value of the existing property increased significantly, from 20 lakhs to 60 lakhs per flat. This successful transformation unlocked substantial value for all members, demonstrating the effectiveness of our strategic project assessments and consultations.
Case Study 5: Overcoming Objections to Successful Redevelopment
Challenge: A client, comprising a developer and a housing society, faced severe objections from a minority group of members who were strongly opposing the redevelopment project. These objections threatened to halt the entire redevelopment process.
Solution: We provided necessary consultations and took decisive legal action to address the objections. Our team worked diligently to represent the client’s interests in court and in litigation processes, ensuring that all legal requirements were met and that the case was presented effectively.
Outcome: Our efforts led to a victory in the court of law, overcoming the objections and clearing the path for redevelopment. The legal success ensured the project’s continuation, ultimately leading to the successful redevelopment of the society. This case highlights our ability to manage and resolve complex legal disputes, ensuring positive outcomes for our clients.
Case Study 6: Overcoming Building Height Restrictions Through Strategic Amalgamation
Challenge: One of our clients faced a technical issue regarding building height restrictions due to the width of the adjoining road. This limitation posed a significant challenge to the redevelopment project.
Solution: We provided strategic consultation that involved amalgamating the neighboring plot, leading to the redevelopment of two societies. This innovative approach allowed us to bypass the height restrictions and optimize the overall land area.
Outcome: The amalgamation resulted in a win-win situation for all parties involved—Society-1, Society-2, and the developer. The solution led to increased gift money for the members, a better carpet area for the new flats, saving of margin space, and optimal utilization of the combined land area. This successful redevelopment project demonstrated our ability to creatively solve technical issues and deliver enhanced value to our clients.
