Vaibhava Bangalore
The flagship project of Value Budget Housing Corporation, Vaibhava Bangalore is a residential complex that combines high quality construction with affordable pricing, reinforcing VBHC’s belief that quality living should be within everyone’s reach. Vaibhava Bangalore won the “Best Green Building Project” prize at India’s 12th National Convention and Real Estate Awards.
Rather than relying on traditional construction techniques, VBHC uses a lean manufacturing process that relies on “form” technology. By industrializing the building process, VBHC ensures greater speed, accuracy and control of the core elements. The real estate company has ambitious plans to build green residences across India.
Vaibhava Bangalore is located close to Electronic City and neighboring industrial belts, as well as colleges and hospitals. More than 70% of the project site is devoted to open spaces.
