Rustomjee sets New Benchmark in Labor Housing - Rustomjee Urbania

Rustomjee Urbania construction site in Thane has a new housing facility spanning 35,000 sq ft.  This has been dedicated to labors. This well-considered project, which has its roots in the Rustomjee court of community and values, displays not only infrastructure but also intention.  

The facility is built to house 500 site workers across 84 well-ventilated rooms, each 10 ft. by 10 ft. and accommodating up to six individuals. This also includes 29 toilets, 9 urinals, and 15 bathing stations. A UV-based water filtration system and a canteen with 42 double-burner gas stoves that can accommodate 280 workers at once make clean cooking and dining possible.

Through an open gym, sports areas, a projection room, a full-time medical clinic, a maternity room, a barbershop, a crèche, retail stores, and an entertainment room, the facility also fosters community and leisure. The housing makes use of environmentally friendly facilities, such as a 200 KG organic waste composter (OWC) for kitchen waste management and a 40 KLD sewage treatment plant (STP) to recycle water for landscaping and flushing.

On-site safety is improved with a strong fire protection system that includes critical-area sprinklers, 900 LPM fire pumps, and 13-yard hydrants.

"This initiative reinforces our long-term vision to raise the standard of worker welfare in the real estate industry. We hope this sets a benchmark that can be progressively adopted across our projects and inspires a broader shift towards more inclusive and responsible development,” Chairman & Managing Director, Rustomjee Group, Boman Rustom Irani said.
