Our architects Peter and Paul Mascarenhas have come up with a splendid design to go with our vision of providing unmatched lifestyle amenities to our customers. Being the tallest skyscraper we wanted “Solitaire” to grab eyeballs with its extraordinary design even while expressing our vision of a magnificent work of art reaching out to the sky. The exterior look and feel of Solitaire is inspired to make it the tallest and most majestic building of Coastal Karnataka. This is in deference to the wishes of our loyal customers, who have always patronized us. With “Solitaire’ we have come up with the nearest semblance to their dream home.

A. With its characteristic design aimed to provide optimum privacy to the occupants “Solitaire” will be a prized possession for Mangaloreans. The elevated location will open the doors to the panoramic beauty of the posh locality of Hat Hill and its surroundings and to the spectacular view of the Arabian Sea. Solitaire is designed to ensure maximum privacy and tranquility, making optimum use of the beautiful surrounding environment and outdoor lifestyle. We want to give the customers the feeling of living in an independent home but with the comforts of an apartment. Solitaire is going to be a perfect example of modern day comfort living. Maximum comforts and minimum incursion on privacy is the hallmark of Solitaire.
Q. Can you tell us more about “Solitaire” and its features?
A. Solitaire is located in a vast expanse of two acres of land in the picturesque and highly elevated Hat Hill area. It offers 144 apartments giving a wide array of choices from 2BHK, 3BHK, 4BHK and 5BHK Duplexes with the option of converting into 7BHK apartments. It comes with a plethora of lifestyle amenities to make your living effortless and comfortable. The building occupying the central position of the land covers only about 50 % of the land area. The remaining 50% will be covered by greenery which also means lot of lung space to the inmates. It will have a beautifully landscaped terrace garden with a sea-view from ground floor due to its natural elevation. Duplex apartments can enjoy sky terrace garden also. The living space will be bright, breezy and fresh due to adequate cross ventilation and is designed in such a way so as to provide complete synergy to indoor and outdoor living.

No other project can match its exclusivity and grandeur and living in it undeniably is like making a lifestyle statement. It epitomizes opulence like none other.
Q. How did you come up with the name ‘Solitaire’?
A. As you are aware, Solitaireis the personification of beauty, style and opulence. Like a Solitaire that highlights the beauty of the jewelry by its prominent position our flagship project “Solitaire” epitomizes the spirit of exclusivity. We are inspired to lend this name to signify exclusivity and sophistication, besides placing a premium on perfection. Solitaire will be the shinning new diamond in the crown of Mangalore.

A. With a successful track record spanning over two decades, Land Trades has been able to win the trust of the people due to our quality work, reliability and the freshness that we bring with every project. In the true tradition of Land Trades, “Solitaire” will be completed within the stipulated period of 3½ years from the time of launching.
Q. ‘To be the best at what you do’ seems to be the guiding motto of your company. Is it what prompted you to opt for voluntary rating by CRISIL?
A. Land Trades is the first real estate developer in Mangalore to go in for rating by a reputed international agency like CRISIL. CRISIL rating ensures quality and credibility as they take into consideration several parameters like transparency, quality, financial stability etc. To be the lead player in the sector was not our only motive. We are keen to rewrite the industry template by adopting a slew of quality control measures that includes going in for voluntary quality rating by CRISIL. Meeting the quality standards of CRISIL was not the easiest thing to do. But we went for it as this certification would serve as a credible recognition for our quality and the stringent audit process would keep us on our toes to live up to the international standards in housing.
Q. Apart from many ongoing projects and the flagship project “Solitaire” what are the upcoming projects from the house of Land Trades?
A. We have many prestigious ongoing projects which are in various stages of completion. Our future projects include a housing layout in Bangalore at Devanahalli on Chikballapur Road for which preparations have begun. We have also lined up quitea few projects in the near future in and around Mangalore.
Q. It has been 23 years in the field of real estate. On hindsight how do you analyze your odyssey to the top position in this competitive sector?
A. Becoming a trusted name in real estate is not easy especially when there is stiff competition. It is to the credit of Land Trades that it marched ahead with required ardor to stay put at the top. However, we never rested on our laurels and strived hard for excellence by adhering to innovation, technological up-gradation. If we are successful today, it’s only because of the dedicated team work put in by every person involved with us. Convergence of hard work and excellence exhibited by our team – which includes our staff members, professionals like architects and engineers as also our materials suppliers and business associates – has enabled us to come this far and they are our pillars of strength. As a result of this, Land Trades is enjoying a proud place in the real estate sector in Mangalore having delivered a clutch of landmark projects. This success has given us the impetus to strive to be the best in the business.
