Hidden behind the plush, five-star façade of Lodha Fiorenza are false and misleading declarations to RERA and MCGM, open space violations and fire safety violations. Lodha Fiorenza consists of four residential towers of about 40 storeys on top of a seven-storeyed parking podium, of which 50% is a municipal parking lot. Towers Roma and Milano are mentioned in the RERA declaration, but two other towers – Venezia and Sienna – are not mentioned; as far is RERA has been informed, only two residential towers exist on top of the podium!
The gigantic structure of Lodha Fiorenza stands on a service road of Western Express Highway, towering over Hub mall. It offers no access to fire-fighting vehicles on three sides, and limited access on one side – the service road in front. There are no open spaces around the parking podium for a fire-brigade vehicle. There is no way for the fire-brigade vehicles to climb up to the tiny bit of open green open space of the 500-odd households. Fire exits are kept permanently locked.
Investors who bought flats in Venezia and Sienna towers some years ago are now struggling to offload it. They are facing competition from Lodha’s sales office, which enters into a price-cutting war with them.
