In a unique initiative, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will soon come up with a lake City Complex next to Sanjay Jheel near Mayur Vihar Phase II. The project, which will be built on similar lines like the East Delhi hub, will have both residential and commercial buildings.
Unveiling the future plans of DDA, its Vice Chairman Balvinder Kumar said the lake City Complex will be developed on the concept of smart city that will be equipped with all facilities like residential flats, commercial units, medical facilities, green area as well as restaurants, arcades, amphitheatre, pedestrian footpaths and cycle tracks, among others.
Apart from developing the area, the authority will also rejuvenate the Sanjay lake. “A mixed use commercial and housing development will be taken up on 25 acres of land adjoining Sanjay lake. A lakefront promenade will be created that will give the surrounding a beautiful look. The lake City Complex will house restaurants, food courts and eateries facing the lake that will attract visitors,” Kumar said.
Kumar added that he complex would be built on similar lines as the recently approved transit hub at Karkardooma. “Other features of the complex include shopping centres, hotels, sports club, hospital and working women hostels. The upcoming Metro station in the area will be the centre of development and shopping arcades will be provided at Metro stations,” informed Kumar.
Besides, the urban development agency has also approved developing two integrated residential-cum-commercial complexes along with three townships in the outskirts of the national Capital, which shall also involve private developers under the land pooling policy.
