Melia First Citizen is the senior-living section of Silverglades The Melia in Sector 35, Sohna. It has 156 homes of 1 and 2 BHK in two towers, built for residents over 55 and their families, with its own club and care services. It is part of The Melia's HRERA registration, 288 of 2017.
Homes and services built for seniors
The First Citizen Club has a reception, a waiting lounge, a gathering hall, a bridge room, activity rooms, a dining hall and a physiotherapy room. The photos on this page are actual photos of these rooms and the towers. The homes are wheelchair-friendly, and the service includes round-the-clock nursing, visiting doctors, a weekly activity plan and a common kitchen. Residents also have The Melia's courtyards, courts and pool around them.
Four layouts from 1,021 sq ft, and the price
Each home type has its plan on this page: a 1 BHK with store of about 1,021 sq ft (about 576 sq ft carpet), 2 BHK homes with store of about 1,300 sq ft (about 780 and 800 sq ft carpet, middle and corner) and a 2 BHK with study and store of about 1,543 sq ft (about 977 sq ft carpet). Homes are listed at about Rs 88.9 lakh to Rs 1.27 crore, an average of about Rs 9,640 per sq ft, so a 1 BHK costs near Rs 98 lakh and the largest 2 BHK near Rs 1.49 crore, before taxes. Ask for the monthly care and service charge as well.
A running club and finished towers
The towers are complete and the club is running. By road, the highway (NH-248A) is about 0.6 km from the gate. For daily needs, the nearest mall, Signature Global Infinity Mall, is 1.2 km off, GD Goenka World School 2.1 km and the civil hospital in Sohna town 4.2 km. Office commuters should allow for about 22 km to the Sector 55-56 Rapid Metro and 30 km to Cyber Hub. The airport is about 38 km away.
Retired couples and their families
It suits retired couples who want a home with care and company built in, and children who live away and want their parents looked after. The trade-offs are the monthly service charges, which continue for as long as you own the home, and a smaller pool of resale buyers than for ordinary flats. For a regular home in the same campus, compare The Melia. For a serviced suite in a township, compare Central Park The Room. Tell us who will live there and we will arrange a visit to the club.
