” I worked with Utkal in the Puri residential project – Srikhetra Bhakta Niwas. It was an inspiring experience to work with builders who are passionate about architecture. They shared their vision and then supported me whole heartedly in the art. Even when some dimensions affected their budget, they were happier to compromise on the budget than offer anything less than the best to their clients. “
“Architecture is chiefly about balance. It impresses from art and science and expresses what’s perceived as aesthetics. The response is collective but the effort is personal. Through the years, I have deeply admired the gut feel and the sensibility at the Utkal Group. The landmarks like Utkal Royal Residency, Utkal Heights, Utkal Corporate Park, Utkal Kanika Galleria and more are truly a testimony of our collective creativity. I look forward to many more distinctions in our partnership.”
” When competition is tough and supply more than demand, Utkal projects stand out with their latent demand. It is truly a noteworthy reflection of their consistent 25 Years of track record and strong brand value. An Utkal project is perceived in a different light by the average buyer. The buyers have an inherent preference for Utkal. “
” I consider my stint with Utkal Builders to be a cornerstone in my professional career. Utkal Builders is one of the most transparent and inspired organizations that I have had an opportunity to work with. As an architect, I appreciate their diligence and pragmatism. I am proud to be associated with a real estate giant who dares to think differently and is tolerant of creative experiments which has acted in their favour to establish them as a significant contributor to the nation’s real estate landscape. “
” Post the Pantaloons deal in Bhubaneswar, we see ourselves as Utkal’s strategic partners in Bhubanswar. The deal along with the project turned out to be a landmark. Our mutually shared values of futuristic spaces and high value for consumers will lead many more new elevations in Odisha’s skyline. “
” We have been associated with Utkal Builders since the year 2000 and were very impressed with them as they were among the first users of DOMAL systems in the EAST and definitely the first users from Odisha. The fact that they were open to usage of an expensive system to ensure the quality of their project was a clear indication to us of their ability to think ahead of their times and their endeavour to deliver a quality building to their customers. “
” Otis and Utkal share a common priority – quality. It is also our bonding ground. More than price, they are value buyers; often putting their customers above themselves and their interest. They are enthused by technology and we find them always looking for new ways to add value to their space. “
