Mangalore, Feb 19: “A thing of beauty is joy forever” the phrase immortalized by John Keats is relevant in our everyday life. There is beauty in everything including in built form that can convey so much and bring joy to all. Buildings often tell the story of a place in a way that even nature sometimes may not be able to say. If there is an idea of man improving nature, it can certainly be done by building strikingly beautiful edifices that can add value to the natural surroundings.
One cannot help but equate “Inland Windsors”, the ambitious residential project from the established and trustedhouse of IN-LAND INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPERS Pvt Ltd., Mangalore, to this category of structures that can tell the history of a city in equally glowing terms as that of nature. This iridescent star in the landscape of Mangalore is all set for inauguration shortly. Needless to say this structure has all the ingredients to make it Mangalore’s best address. The unique architectural marvel has caught the attention of local Mangaloreans as well as outsiders visiting Mangalore and professional architects from around the country.
Mangalore’s first skyscraper
Inland Windsors, the first skyscraper of Mangalore - is tall, elegant, beautiful, splendid, appealing, stylish, luxurious, unique, artistic, magnificent, splendorous and contemporary to its core. “We take pride in giving Mangaloreans a new experience in urban residence that can complement the dynamism and gusto of the present generation who aspire for very edgy and contemporary design with world class amenities”, Chairman & MD of IN-LAND GROUP , Siraj Ahmed says in his soft-spoken but assuring tone.
Located on a huge spread of land, on Mangalore International Airport Road, Maryhill, this iconic 2B G 23 storey residential development,stands out in the crowd with its distinctiveness. The structure is designed in the shape of sea waves by architect Sagar Mistry, who has worked with internationally acclaimed architect Hafeez Contractor. With the right combination of art and architecture, it is designed to give aninvigorating ambience to its dwellers to facilitate what can be called as living in pharaonic splendor. The icing on the cake is that it provides privacy and singularity to those seeking to enjoy a hushed ambience away from the busy city life even when enjoying the luxuries that come with its prime location. It provides convenient access to upscale shops, recreational amenities and other conveniences.
Keeping in tune with its iconic and unique designs for which IN-LAND has earned the reputation in the last 27 years of its existence, Inland Windsors comes with the most ingenious features that will give its residents the ultimate urbane home in Mangalore, thus fulfilling the aspirations of many.

The stunning design is perfectly complemented by impressive amenities for rest, fitness, leisure, comfort and indulgence.
An Ode to Mangaloreans
Siraj Ahmed is quite upbeat about his ambitious project getting ready for inauguration. “An exclusive design matched with unparalleled facilities is what many Mangaloreans were looking for all these years. We have come up with Inland Windsors to help Mangaloreans savour the city’s endless charms to go with a lifestyle that compliments their success. It is an ode in celebration of the success Mangaloreans have achieved in different corners of the world. If Mangaloreans working in different parts want to come back to their motherland we want to give them a home that conforms to international standards and lifestyle. Inland Windsors gives an opportunity to such fellow Mangaloreans to enjoy a slice of the big apple lifestyle back in their homeland when they want to settle here or want to provide such a milieu to their loved ones”, Siraj Ahmed pointed out.
The rolling landscape of Mangalore would not have been the same if not for IN-LAND strong presence in the real estate scenario in Mangalore and many other South Indian states where it has diversified its business interests. Coming up with landmark structures is not new to IN-LAND as they made their presence felt by creating “Inland Ebony”, a unique, circular and first-of-its-kind residential tower in Karnataka, one of the very few in the country. They followed it with many more signature brands like “Inland Ornate”, “Inland Monarch” “Inland Everglades” and many more in Mangalore and Bangalore. Having transformed the skylines whereverthe company has made successful foray, it also goes without saying that many of their projects have become architectural milestones in their own right. Inland Windsors is an iconic and luminary addition to that long list of landmark structures.
Another crowning glory in IN-LAND ’s impressive achievements is that it was chosen for “Suraksha Puraskar”, the national level NSCI safety awards 2011 in the construction sector for Inland Windsors. This goes to prove that the company has made prodigious effortsto provide maximum safety and security to its residents apart from other top notch amenities. “This is the specialty of Inland Windsors which makes it unique and a cut above the rest” says Director, Wahaj Yusuf, Siraj Ahmed’s younger son, who joined the business recently after completing his degree in architecture from MIT Manipal.
This imposing edifice has attracted lot of eyeballs and has generated interest among the people since its inception. This has been proved from the fact that out of the 218 super luxury units on offer at Inland Windsors over 200 have already been sold. Siraj Ahmed adds: “At Inland Windsors we have made continuous efforts at every stage to provide better amenities and higher quality fittings and fixtures than what was promised as we want to provide the latest and most contemporary facilities to our esteemed clients”.
INLAND WINDSORS is an engineering marvel surrounded by a 360° panoramic view of the sea and the lush green landscape of Dakshina Kannada. The charming exterior looks of this super structure are well complemented by the state-of-the-art amenities provided on the inside to its residents. Indeed, a dedicated club house tastefully designed keeping in mind the good health, fitness and leisure of its residents comes with a swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, Jacuzzi, steam room, massage room, squash court, billiards room, TV room, multipurpose hall and a host of other indoor games, is the first of its kind in any of Mangalore’s residential complexes. Another striking feature of this apartment complex is the helipad that sits majestically on top of the massive structure.

Some of the other amenities that make everyday life easier for its residents include garbage chute facility, 4 high speed imported elevators including one 13 pax stretcher-cum-passenger lift all of which clock a record time of 35 seconds from level 0 to 23, 3 levels of parking space including dedicated visitors parking, 3 tier security system with electronic surveillance and video door phone, uninterrupted power supply, reticulated gas connection, digital TV network with internet etc. That’s not all, taking a walk through the lavishly designed entrance lobby, one may pause for a moment to appreciate its beauty and breath-taking similarity to some of the most upscale, stars-class hotel lobbies they may have seen.
Amidst all of this delicate and eye catching affairs, the ‘Roof Rain Water harvesting system’ & Sewage Treatment Plant stand testimony to the fact that well-being of the environment hasnot been ignored in the overall thought process. All in all it could be concluded that INLAND WINDSORS with all of its beauty and architecture is among the finest residential complexes in the whole of South India today.

An added feather in its cap is that it is for the first time there will be a medley of Mangaloreans of diverse religions spread across the globe who have been successful in their own way, living under one roof at Inland Windsors.
Needless to say the entire IN-LAND team is gearing up for the grand inauguration of their prized and ambitious project. In fact Siraj Ahmed attributes the company’s success to the cumulative effect of team work.
