Antara Dehradun

Antara is a beautifully crafted full-service residential community for those who believe age is just a number.

Life, as we get older, is a time for renewal and reflection, a time to reconnect with ourselves and forge new bonds within a safe, inspiring and well-managed environment. It is a time that is filled with hope and energy coupled with the aspiration of less worry and a better quality of life. The vision of creating the first such community in India gave direction, shape and identity to Antara.

Our goal is to make every Antara resident feel they are well looked after and their every needs resourcefully dealt with. Our approach to your Antara life goes beyond just physical health to perfectly balanced care of mind, body and spirit. Our layout, design, group activities and individual pursuits are tailored to enhance and promote holistic wellness in you. A superbly trained team of nearly 200 staff is always on call to provide attentive but unobtrusive service.

Max India provides a strong foundation for Antara, a part of the Max India group of companies. We are proud to share the heritage and values of Max Life Insurance, Max Healthcare, Max Bupa Health Insurance, Max Speciality Films and the Max India Foundation. With Max India being in 'Life' businesses, Antara, a one of its kind full-service residential lifestyles and lifecare community, is a natural fit. Antara is a seamless extension of Max India's core commitment to businesses of social good and service and expresses Max India's strong ethos of Sevabhav, Credibility and Excellence.

The first step to creating the perfect community is choosing the correct location. Accordingly, for the first Antara community, we selected 14 pristine acres in Purukul, Dehradun. Renowned for its serene beauty and comfortable weather throughout the year, Dehradun spoils for choice when it comes to stunning mountain ranges, shimmering lakes, lush green trails and places of historical value, all close to Antara. Dehradun is well connected by air, road and rail to Delhi and other major cities in India. In the neighbourhood are the spiritual towns of Haridwar and Rishikesh, and hill stations like Mussoorie and Dhanaulti. The natural reserve forests of Rajpur, Galjwari, Rikhauli and Chamasari and the Malsi Deer Forest nearby provide the perfect opportunity to explore an interest in wildlife. For those who wish to remain active in business, Dehradun, being the capital of Uttarakhand, is an upcoming growth centre. The world-class healthcare of a Max Super Specialty hospital is reassuringly just a short drive away. Overlooking one of Dehradun’s picturesque river valleys, with clean air untainted by the effluents of a busy city, clear star-filled nights and warm, sunny days, framed by the Himalayas to the North and the Shivaliks to the South, there’s no better place than Antara to live the next chapter of a well-lived life.

The Antara design philosophy is to improve your quality of life through thoughtful design interventions.

There are seven apartment types in our Dehradun community, which are spread over nine Residences, ranging from 1500 – 6000 sq. ft

The interiors of each apartment are built to the highest standard and specifications, with elegant imported marble and wood flooring and beautiful finishing touches such as cornices and window ledges conveying a sense of timeless grace. Spacious naturally-lit bedrooms with extended terraces and balconies, a large sun-filled well-ventilated living and dining room and substantial windows for a beautiful view all bring the magic of the outdoors into your everyday life. Bathrooms have thoughtfully positioned handrails, protective anti-skid tiles and walls clad with ceramic tiles. Tasteful and friendly modular kitchens with granite tops and ample storage space are abutted by a utility balcony. The detailing has been given special attention, such as rounded corners of all edges.

All apartments have round the year climate control for a comfortable indoor ambience with significant savings in energy and maintenance. These and many other design features merge seamlessly to make your Antara apartment in its entirety exude an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and refinement.

To make your life at Antara hassle-free and always of the high standard you have come to expect, we offer our one-of-a-kind anticipatory service package Antara Comprehensive Benefit (ACB). Subscribing to ACB allows us to look after you and your home in the manner you are accustomed to. To ensure that the residents are well looked after, there are a host of services that have been designed under the ‘Antara Comprehensive Benefit’, ranging between INR 40,000 – 1,13,000, the charges are levied depending upon the size of the apartment and the services being opted.

We have created an innovative leasehold structure for Antara. Applicants pay the fair market value of the apartment (as per their chosen payment plan) and are given a leasehold title deed on moving into the apartment. This leasehold title deed entitles the residents to live in the apartment for the rest of their lives.

If a resident wishes to leave the community, Antara will market the apartment to new eligible residents. Current residents can also recommend interested eligible residents. Before doing this, Antara will estimate the new fair market value of the apartment through independent experts. This fair market value will take into account appreciation. Antara will use this fair market value as a guide and conduct sales proceedings accordingly to ascertain the next resident. The new resident will then pay the amount he/she has offered. This amount will then be given to the existing residents, minus our marketing charges.

A resident can nominate a close relative, who meets the eligibility criteria, to live in the apartment after the passing of an existing resident. Antara will then issue a new lease deed in his/ her name for the remaining lease period. Alternatively, a resident may nominate a person other than a close relative as a subsequent lessee who meets the eligibility criteria. This subsequent lessee can enjoy the right to live in the apartment after the demise of the lessee.

This model was judiciously created with our residents in mind and facilitated financial security for them. We want to ensure that Antara remains a like-minded community in the long run, and as such, we need a unique method to vet who becomes a resident in the community. This gives Antara the responsibility to ensure the community is maintained and managed to the highest standards. This model also helps residents, given that Antara will take the responsibility of ensuring that upon the demise of the current lessee’s all financial proceeds are passed on to their nominees.

Our design journey began with a pioneer of design and architecture, Bradford Perkins, a true visionary in designing spaces that support independence as we get older. To partner Bradford, Tomeu Esteva of Esteva i Esteva Arquitectura, a boutique design firm in Mallorca, Spain and an expert in creating beauty through design, joined the team to give the community a sense of life and expand on Perkins functionality and detailing. As the design journey progressed into execution, Integral Designs crafted the entire landscaping, Arcop Associates joined the team to complete our residential spaces, while Studio Lotus gave life to our Clubhouse to truly make it the jewel in the crown of the community.
