As a true sign of the times savvy builders have been able to feel the pulse of the changing mood and preference to come out with projects to cater to the dreams, needs and aspirations of the fast growing new generation of buyers. Westline Builders Pvt Ltd is in the forefront in leading such a trend in Mangalore.

In a relatively short time Westline Builders has created a huge buzz in the market with some of its outstanding projects. The company has been known for providing some of the best apartment homes to live in and in the process has been transforming Mangalore's skyline with landmarks sprinkled across the city. In doing so the company has played a stellar role in raising the standard of living of the people of this coastal region.

To validate this Westline is on the threshold of launching its most ambitious project so far - “Westline Signature” which is coming up in the most desirable and posh locality at Nanthoor Hills, which is also the most elevated part of Mangalore. To be launched tomorrow this slender, elegant, gorgeous and futuristic project of Mangalore, designed to race skywards, will stand tall with 53 floors and will have the distinction of being the tallest project in the entire South India. “Signature' will be a modern architectural marvel inviting both admiration and envy while providing its inhabitants a fascinating combination of stylish design, idyllic location and lavish lifestyle amenities. It is designed to represent a symbiosis between the stylish facade and the creative landscape perfectly synthesizing artificial and natural elements. The aim is to provide a comfortable and high quality lifestyle and also fill a sense of pride among the inhabitants.

The vision and creative approach of its Chairman and Managing Director Nasir Mohideen has been pivotal factor in the company's march towards stardom. Armed with a Masters degree in Information Technology from the Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia and with his experience in the field he has been able to comprehend the rudiments of real estate business to put a solid foundation for the company. Westline Builders is emerging as a realtor of high competence and credibility with a swelling list of devoted and repeat customers. In a free-wheeling chart with our reporter Nasir Mohideen delineates the company's foray into the market, its various projects including its Super Grand project “Westline Signature” and also various other aspect that concern the real estate industry in general.

Q. You entered into the realty field when the industry was witnessing a downslide. Was it a conscious decision or it just happened?

A. It is true that our company got into this real estate business when the industry was going through a slump period. The downturn faced by the realty market did not impede our decision to get into this field. In fact the prevailing conditions spurred us all the more to strengthen our base with a sturdy foundation.

Having endured the sluggish period we were confident of gaining a foothold and we are happy we have made a confident beginning. With pioneering and revolutionary projects of developing residential and commercial space we have made our presence felt in the real estate meadow of Mangalore.

Q. What are the challenges you faced in your effort to strengthen your position in this field?

A. Though challenges were plentiful our challenge was to stand out in the crowd in a market that had players of diverse calibre. Obtaining clearances to our projects from various statutory bodies was also a challenge because considerable time, money and energy had to be invested in that direction.
I hope the government comes out with the promised single window clearance process very soon to ease our difficulties. With our focus on quality and transparency in dealings it was not difficult for us to find our rightful place and assert our position.

Q. What are the factors that helped you gain foothold amidst a large number of players both established and newcomers?

A. We always believe that there is no shortcut to success. We believe that quality is a major consideration for people when buying their dream home. So we never compromised on that factor and moreover there was no ambiguity in our assurances given to the customers. We have come up with aesthetically brilliant projects and while executing them we have gone to the depth to ensure we deliver what we promised.

Q. You have said you want the company to stand out. What according to you sets apart Westline Builders from others?

A. Our USP is that we basically get involved in detail in every stage stage of construction starting from the concept to the finish. Every layout we selected is screened by the architect, management and the marketing wing to eliminate flaws that might affect the quality of the project. All the wings of the company get actively involved in designing the elevation of the building as we also pay priority for the aesthetic beauty of the project. Finally the end product matters a lot.

Q. Though you have many ongoing projects your most ambitious project to date “Westline Signature” the luxury apartment project which is creating ripples in the realty market with many firsts to its credit. What makes “Signature” so special?

A. A luxury apartment can be a true jewel only if it gives an opportunity to the occupants to stay attuned to the high life of the city and experience all the joy that comes with it. Westline Signature is work of architectural marvel, with the stunning amalgamation of stylish design and modern architecture. Its central and convenient location in the most elevated and posh locality of Mangalore in Nanthoor Hills, adds to its aura as the most eagerly awaited project. The project is coming up in a verdant land wherein the structure occupies only 20 percent of the total area with about 80 per cent of open area to give the much needed breathing space to the residents.

Q. What makes “Signature” such an awe inspiring project?

A. For us Signature is much more than a mere building. It is the execution of a long drawn dream that has taken shape in the form of this designer project. We believe that buying a luxury apartment is not just about having a lavish home to live in. It is also about doing a great future investment that can provide the right kind of return on investment. Signature boasts of breathtaking view of the pristine beauty of Dakshina Kannada thus ensuring riveting vistas from the very first level of the tower. With a splendid view of the landscaped garden and the roaring waters of the Arabian Sea it is sure to add more fizz to the everyday life of the residents.

Q. Signature Westline is projected as first of its kind of project of Mangalore. What are the unique features of this residential tower?

A. Apart from being the tallest project of South India Signature boasts of a few distinctive features. It is one of its kinds of project designed to ensure minimum sunlight on the outer walls to reduce heat and ensure coolness. It is a ‘L' shaped structure with minimal common walls thus ensuring the much needed solitude to the inhabitants. The french windows facade ensures that the apartments will have a pleasant brightness during the day. This is the first residential project of Mangalore with a proposed central chiller air condition system, thus giving a huge health benefit to the occupants contrary to the gas operated split AC systems. This centralised A/C shall also provide the benefit hot water to the residents 24X7X365 as a byproduct of heat generated by Air Conditioning system. The central A/C will also ensure energy efficiency saving nearly 50% of the energy bills of the residents.

Q. What kind of lifestyle luxury amenities are offered to the inhabitants of “Signature”?

A. Signature offers configurations of 2BHK,3BHK, 3BHK Duplex with media room and 4BHK Duplexes with media room. The apartments will be bright, spacious and airy with abundant natural light. This is the first project in Manglaore to be announced with ‘building management system' (BMS) wherein the residents can monitor and manage the mechanical, electrical and electromechanical services. Roof top facilities include a full-fledged health club, a 100 ft lap pool and a wading pool for children, open air Jacuzzi and open air pool theatre and nutrition bar counter, dedicated yoga and aerobics room, sauna, spa, steam, a sophisticated gym and ayurveda massage centre and much more.

Signature offers two level parking facilities and in one level part of the basement is proposed for enough roof height to accommodate multi-level car parking by mechanical lifts. The building will shine bright like a twinkling star as it provides for changing the lighting hues to coincide with the feasts or festivities to be celebrated.

This green certification will have positive impact on the health and lifestyle of the residents of Signature.

Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Thursday alleged that BJP was raking up the "Waqf issue" with an eye on the upcoming assembly by-polls in the state and elections in neighboring Maharashtra.

Following allegations by a section of farmers in certain parts of the state that their lands were marked as Waqf properties, he reiterated that none of them will be evicted, and notices issued to them will be withdrawn.

"BJP is doing politics. Notices were issued during their (BJP) tenure too, what do they have to say about it? During BJP's tenure over 200 notices were given. One should not practice such dual politics," Siddaramaiah said.

Speaking to reporters here, the CM said, "I have already said that the notices will be withdrawn, where is the issue? In case the notices are issued they will be withdrawn and no one will be evicted, where is the issue?" "Whichever district it is...They (BJP) had also given notices in several districts. Why did they give? Why are they doing such politics? In case notices were served by our government, they will be withdrawn and no farmers will not be evicted....the protest they have planned on November 4 is for politics keeping in mind by-polls in three segments and Maharashtra elections," he added.

A section of farmers from Vijayapura district have alleged that their lands were marked as Waqf properties, and similar allegations have surfaced from a few other places.

The BJP is planning a statewide agitation on November 4, demanding the resignation of Minority Welfare and Waqf Minister B Z Zameer Ahamed Khan, and against the Congress government over the issue.

Accusing the BJP of only doing politics and and not speaking the truth, Siddaramaiah said, "they only speak lies, they make issue out of non issue. Is there any issue in MUDA (site allotment case, in which he is accused and facing probe)? They wanted to make a non issue, an issue." Channapatna, Shiggaon and Sandur Assembly segments will go for by-polls on November 13.

The CM said he will go for campaigning in three assembly segments that will go for bypolls, from November 4 to 11.

He expressed confidence about Congress winning all the three segments.

In the heart of Mangaluru, where rising air pollution is spurring public health worries, voices are calling for a greener, cleaner shift in the city’s public transport. Leading this call is APD Foundation, a Mangaluru-based environmental NGO, which has urged Forest, Ecology, and Environment Minister Eshwar Khandre to mandate electric vehicle (EV) adoption in public transport.

Abdullah A Rehman, CEO of APD Foundation, emphasized in a formal letter to the minister that Mangaluru’s public transportation system—efficient and organized with both government and private players—could transition smoothly to EVs in stages. He suggested that government-backed financial incentives, partnerships with EV manufacturers, and collaborations with environmental groups could streamline the switch.

Rehman stressed the potential of EVs to cut down emissions, enhance air quality, and reduce noise levels, noting the quieter operation of electric buses. He confirmed that a copy of his letter was submitted to the Deputy Commissioner as well.

However, Dilraj Alva from the Dakshina Kannada City Bus Association noted potential challenges, explaining that the shift might take up to two years due to infrastructure and budget hurdles. Most EV buses, he explained, are procured through aggregators, not directly by individual operators. The addition of charging stations and other essential infrastructure further complicates the transition.

Alva also raised the economic concern: while diesel buses are priced between ₹30-40 lakh, electric buses can cost up to ₹1 crore. Reflecting on recent meetings with companies, including one in Manipal, he questioned the assumption that EVs are an absolute solution to pollution. “EVs aren’t entirely eco-friendly, especially when considering battery disposal,” he cautioned.

Mangaluru: The Karnataka Maritime Board (KMB) has initiated the groundwork for the much-anticipated Mangaluru Water Metro Project (MWMP). The project, which was first announced by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah during the state budget presentation, aims to introduce water-based public transport along the Gurupur and Netravathi rivers in Mangaluru.

The proposed Mangaluru Water Metro will follow in the footsteps of Kochi's successful Water Metro system, which has become a model for eco-friendly and efficient urban transport in India. The KMB will now conduct necessary feasibility studies to assess how this concept can be adapted to Mangaluru's unique geographical and urban landscape.

A 30-Kilometer Stretch Connecting 17 Key Locations
According to a senior officer from KMB, the project will span a 30-kilometer route that connects key points across the rivers and coastline. The water metro service will cover locations such as Bajal, Kulur Bridge, New Mangaluru Port, Sultan Battery, Tannirbhavi, Old Port, Hoige Bazaar, and Someshwar Temple. The service aims to link 17 important points, benefiting both daily commuters and tourists. This initiative not only seeks to reduce congestion in Mangaluru but also promises to boost tourism and recreational activities by providing an alternative mode of transport.

Focus on Eco-Friendly and Efficient Water Transport
The Mangaluru Water Metro will feature modern catamaran boats, which may be powered by electric or diesel engines. These boats will be equipped with essential amenities to ensure smooth and safe operations. The project’s emphasis on sustainability means that the boat fleet will be designed to minimize environmental impact, making water transport both eco-friendly and economically viable.

Feasibility Study to Shape Project Design
The initial feasibility report will cover several crucial aspects, including the placement of water metro stations. These locations will be chosen based on factors such as passenger demand, availability of land, connectivity to other transport modes, and sustainability. A detailed LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey will further aid in mapping the river routes and surrounding areas, providing precise data for the project’s planning phase.

In addition to assessing operational needs, the feasibility study will also project future demand for water metro services over the next 25 years. By exploring various scenarios, planners can ensure that the water metro is designed to accommodate both current and future user requirements.

Special Purpose Vehicle for Project Management
The report is expected to recommend creating a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to manage the project. This independent entity would help secure funding, attract investors, and ensure professional oversight, enhancing the project's credibility and long-term viability.

What is the Mangaluru Water Metro Project?
The Mangaluru Water Metro Project aims to introduce a sustainable water-based public transport system to alleviate traffic congestion in the city and promote tourism. Inspired by the Kochi Water Metro, the project will create a seamless and eco-friendly transport option along the Gurupur and Netravathi rivers, covering key points across the city’s riverside and coastal areas.

Once operational, the Mangaluru Water Metro will offer a modern, efficient, and scenic alternative to road transport, helping transform urban mobility in the city while boosting tourism and reducing environmental impact.
