With the Samruddhi Mahamarg, it is about 90 minutes from Mumbai depending on traffic.

Why buy a plot instead of a holiday apartment?

A plot gives you land ownership, privacy, open space and the freedom to design and build at your own pace, which a holiday apartment does not.

A private clubhouse with Turkish bath, bowling alley, open-air meditation room, gym and mini theatre, plus an elevated walkway, multipurpose court, landscaped grounds and water bodies.

How many homes will there be at Fog Cielo?

About 83 plots across an approximately 20-acre estate, so the community stays small and low-density.

Does Fog Cielo offer a ready villa design?

Yes. Alongside plots, a customised villa option is available for buyers who prefer the developer to design and build for them.

What does FSI 1.425 mean?

FSI (floor space index) is the ratio of total built-up area to plot area. With 1.425 FSI, total built-up area can be up to 1.425 times the plot area.

Can I build in phases?

Owning the plot lets you build at your own pace. Discuss timelines and guidelines with the Fog Cielo team during your site visit.
