Navi Mumbai’s First Platinum-Rated Sustainable Self-Redevelopment Project – Arinda 12-A, Vashi.

Arinda 12-A, C.H.S. Ltd., located in Sector 10, Vashi, Navi Mumbai, is a pioneering example of sustainable self-redevelopment in India, achieving a prestigious GEM Platinum rating. This landmark project sets a new benchmark for green building design, eco-friendly housing, and climate-responsive redevelopment.

Designed with sustainability at its core, the project integrates a holistic range of green building features:

Passive Design & Thermal Comfort: Ample daylight and natural ventilation across all spaces, along with a ventilated façade, reduce heat gain and enhance indoor comfort while lowering energy demand.

Water-Sensitive Design: Efficient rainwater harvesting systems, low-flow fixtures, and water reuse strategies significantly reduce dependence on potable water.

Landscape & Urban Greenery: Incorporating native trees, grass pavers, green walls, and rooftop gardens, the project promotes biodiversity and improves the microclimate.

Energy-Efficient Building Systems: Use of LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC systems, and motion sensors ensures optimized energy performance in common areas.

Renewable Energy Integration: Onsite solar PV systems offset approximately 30% of the building’s electricity demand, reducing carbon footprint.

Sustainable Materials: Construction utilizes AAC blocks, PPC cement, recycled steel and tiles, and locally sourced materials, minimizing embodied energy.

Healthy Indoor Environment: Low-VOC materials, enhanced daylight access, and natural ventilation create healthier living spaces for residents.

Recognized by the ASSOCHAM GEM Council, Arinda 12-A stands as Navi Mumbai’s first self-redevelopment project designed with sustainability at its core, demonstrating how residential societies can transition into high-performance, resource-efficient communities.
