Q: Hi I was planning to take a look and book a 3BHK apartment at Orchid Springs. However I just googled it up and found so many issues around the building. Can somebody please clarify the overall issue and also let me know what the current status of the project is and whether it is worth buying?

Kavitha, I have booked a aprtment 4 weeks ago at Orchid Springs in Gulmohar block (507). Prior to booking I was not aware of the issues with the project. From what I have understood from all the discussions in this forum and other websites, this project was launched first in 2006 without CMDA approval and the builder had taken upto 25% money upfront, but for some reasons they were unable to get approval to start the project. Some say it was a Metro water pipe line issue but I am still not sure what was the exact cause of delay. But now the required approvals have been received and work is going on at the site. After making my booking and seeing the reports I have personally visited the site at late evenings around 8 to 9 p.m. and seen the piling work going on. Coming to pricing, the project price is being increased by builder on monthly basis. I booked it for 3950/sqft and got a modular kitchen free and one of my frieds booked it a week ago for 4200/sqft.

Guys...Alliance is number one fraud builder..please do not invest in any of their projects..Talk to buyers of Orchid Springs to know the reality. Orchid Springs was pre launched in 2006 and no work was started till 2010 and still in 2015 it is not yet completed. Aliance is also charging unfair interest on delayed payments for and no payments made from their end for such huge delay. Pathetic staff and worst construction quality. PLEASE DO NOT GET TRAPPED BY THEIR SALES PERSON. MOST OF THEM QUIT JOB IN MONTHS TIME AND YOU NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN.Guys...Alliance is number one fraud builder..please do not invest in any of their projects..Talk to buyers of Orchid Springs to know the reality.

With the reputation of Aliance be prepared to wait atleast 6 to 8 years or may be a decade.With the reputation of Aliance be prepared to wait atleast 6 to 8 years or may be a decade.

What is the general opinion. Is it a good investment? I think the pallavaram thoraipakkam road will emerge as a major bussiness hub as time goes by How is the builder?
Most pathetic builder. Please do not invest in any of their projects.

Hi George Abraham, Basically the project location is good and it is emerging place. You can see lots of projects are coming there. Lots of options. Choose the right project. Also check how much you gonna pay finally and decide. All the best.
I am a buyer from Orchid Springs...they committed delivery in 2012 and even now in 2015 my flat is not yet delivered. Most pathetic builder. Please do not invest.

Hi All, Please dont book the apartments here. They dont respond you properly once the advance is paid. I paid my advance 05/11/2014 and they forced me to pay for the agreement which i dint. They dint get the CMDA approval yet but they lie that they'll get it in the near future. In the cancellation part they dont return the full amount. They are deducting Rs. 50,000 from the advance. They are totally cheating on us. Never go for Alliance Projects
Welcome to world of Alliance projects. If you can I would suggest get out of the project the loss will be minimal rather than sticking on with them for a more painful journey. I had booked another apartment with Landmark constructions for a project that was not yet approved and launched. They took cheeque from me and for 6 months they did not encash it telling only after approval is received they will en-cash, I further cancelled the booking and got my cheque back. That was the transparency they maintained which is very high from Alliance standards.

hi everyone, I find the project in Pallavaram radial road to be one of the biggest projects by Alliance group. I am keen to invest here for my personal use. Does anyone know when is the CMDA approval expected? I am sure Alliance is not going to take a risk with this project like orchid springs. your feedback will be much appreciated. Balaji
Hi, not sure how u term Galleria as their biggest project, it is 1215 apartments in 8.5 acres but Orchid Springs is 2300+ apartments with 18 acres. and they have completely messed up OS project. It was launched in 2006 and today in 2015 first phase is not yet completed. I am a buyer and booked in 2010 and still waiting possession. The amenities they have promised are no where in sight and it looks like another 2-3 yrs away. If you have excess money to gift to alliance for 10 yrs and wait for them to complete it, they they have launch galleria is just same like OS was launched without approval and took 5-6 yrs for approval..all signs show they are going to do the same since they are unethical in their business practice. All the Best if you have decided to Invest in their project.
