I was one of those who bought in to the Brigade Gateway project when everything was still on paper. This will by far be the best place to live/work/shop in If the project is completed like it was described on those glossy marketing material that Brigade.
Things started to sour when Brigade missed on it’s time lines and trust me this is an understatement. We all know there are a lot of unknowns in a big project like this but the way Brigade handled these situations was/is totally unprofessional and full of lies. The least they could have done is to be forthright with it’s customers but you have to ask what were they thinking; that they are selling realty worth 100’s of lakhs to drooling, thumb-sucking kids!?
Think of a case of an acquaintance who commits to meeting you at a certain time/place and strolls in an hour or two late and blames all the people in the world except himself. This is the relationship that Brigade has cultivated with it’s customers. There is a total disregard for commitments; in the past 2 years there have been at least 4 times when they have promised to handover at a certain time and have failed miserably. These people are living a lie.
My suggestion for would-be owners here is to wait it out until the end of the project and then see how things are because as of now no one including Brigade itself has any clue when the project will be complete or if you want to jump in now be prepared for a long haul. I know I have been in it for almost 4 years now!
As you can see that I have intentionally not named names. This post is not about bashing a individuals who are like lambs but the company and the unethical person running it from the top.
