Client International Amusements Ltd. DE Shaw
On 162 hectares of prime land between Delhi and Jaipur, our client envisioned a city built for tourism. The site, however, was bisected by a major highway. FORREC’s mission was to unify and connect the two parcels of land, provide for global-class leisure, entertainment and recreational attractions and preserve the tranquil beauty of the region.
FORREC’s master plan turned the highway into an advantage, using it to delineate an exciting, hyperactive urban area on one side, and a tranquil, gardenesque vacation resort and lifestyle community on the other. A busy central hub bridged the two right at the highway, creating a highly visible landmark for the development. Five hotels, a theme park, water park, retail and entertainment complexes, golf course, two naturally terraced hillsides and ample residential areas flow seamlessly together, connected by a series of plazas, terraces, recreational walking trails and streets.
