This launch coincides with a significant milestone in Gera's illustrious legacy as innovators and forward-thinkers - a decade of their groundbreaking Child Centric Homes concept.

Landmark projects like Song of Joy and River of Joy have set new benchmarks in understanding and addressing the requirements of parents in raising their children, while fostering an environment that encourages quality family time and comprehensive child development, bolstered by strategic partnerships with esteemed academies. With a portfolio that has brought joy to over 3,500 delighted families and garnered numerous accolades, including the prestigious "Themed Project of The Year" award, Gera continues to raise the bar for real estate in the country.
The introduction of Gera's Island of Joy in East Kharadi marks the latest chapter in Gera Developments' illustrious journey. Spanning a vast 12.5 acres, with 9 towers and over 1,800 homes, Gera's Island of Joy offers unparalleled leisure amenities, including three clubhouses, private Go-Kart racing facilities, a wave pool, and a bowling alley. Nestled along the riverbanks, it also features 9 celebrity-led learning academies focused on sports, performing arts, and personal development, creating an enriching environment for families to thrive.
Rohit Gera, Managing Director of Gera Developments, expressed his elation at the launch event, stating that a decade ago, they dared to dream differently and rewrote the rules of what a modern home could be. Gera's ChildCentric Homes was a concept designed to alleviate the burdens on families and empower them to seize the opportunities available for their children to prosper in every way possible. Gera mentioned that it gives them great joy to present Gera's Island of Joy, a testament to their dedication to crafting exceptional living spaces for modern families.
Strategically positioned near prominent SEZ and IT parks, Gera's Island of Joy ensures seamless connectivity and convenience. As part of an Integrated Township, it emphasises sustainability with innovative features, including Pune's first electric Go-Kart racing track.
Gera Developments noted a substantial rise in the sector from fiscal years 2022 to 2024, witnessing a remarkable 29% increase in overall off-take, soaring from 14,654 units to 18,902 units. This growth is particularly notable in the thriving IT corridors of Kharadi and Hinjewadi, experiencing surges of 32% and 82%, respectively. Additionally, prices have seen a commendable 25% growth, with budgets increasing by an impressive 30%. An important part of Gera Developments' growth is that they have made their apartment sizes much bigger, increasing by 14%. This shows that the company is trying to meet the changing needs of families today. In the financial year 2024, Gera Developments added 21,660 new apartments to the market. However, they only sold 18,902 apartments during the same period. This ratio of 1.14 shows that Gera Developments is aware of the need to balance the supply and demand in the market. They are making sure they don't create too much supply or too little supply.
