5,000sqft area, attached bathrooms in every room, two-level basement parking: Inside river-named housing complex for MP's in Delhi

NEW DEHI: A newly constructed residential complex for parliamentarians offers spacious living, modern amenities and eco-friendly features.The complex, located near the Parliament House, comprises four 25-storey towers named after major rivers — Kosi, Krishna, Godavari and Hooghly — with a total of 184 type-VII flats. Each flat has a carpet area of approximately 5,000 square feet.Each unit includes five bedrooms, dedicated office spaces for the member of parliament and their personal assistant and two rooms for helpers, with attached bathrooms in every room.These flats provide more space than the previously allotted top-tier bungalows.Construction employed advanced methods using reinforced cement concrete and aluminium shuttering, significantly reducing the building timeline from the traditional 30–35 days for roof laying to 10–12 days.Completed in two years at a cost of around Rs 550 crore, the buildings are earthquake-resistant and adhere to modern structural standards.A two-level basement car park accommodates 500 vehicles.The complex also features a community centre with four shops designed to meet residents’ needs and provide space for social gatherings.Sustainability was prioritised throughout the project. The complex meets the National Building Code 2016 standards and has earned a GRIHA 3-star rating for energy conservation, renewable energy generation and effective waste management.Overall, the complex aims to provide parliamentarians with a comfortable, functional, and secure living environment, addressing previous housing shortages.
