Why Yamuna Expressway Is Destination Next for Real Estate

Apr 30, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Director, #Gaurs Group, #Mr. Sarthak Gaur
By Mr. Sarthak Gaur, Director, Gaurs Group
History has shown that real estate development has been the catalyst world over in the development of any region. Real estate development has been the core theme around which megacity or regions have seen natural accretion and growth. There has been high-quality real estate development in Gautam Budh Nagar, especially the Yamuna Expressway, which has helped the region has its own vibrant ecosystem. The region today draws its strength not just as a suburb of National Capital Delhi but as a robust industrial and cultural powerhouse. The lightning speed of the development of trade and commerce in the region has been ably matched by the building of convention centers, theatres, food courts, banquet halls, and other cultural landmarks.

The real estate developers, on one hand, have provided international class commercial and residential buildings. The government, on the other hand, has matched up with various infrastructure projects like roads, highways, metro train connectivity, etc. This attracted a lot of MNCs and Indian corporates which set up their headquarters, regional offices, and even R&D centres. The region around Yamuna Expressway has the best offices and industrial properties. There are many large international companies that have either already established their presence or are in the process of setting up their offices here. This has also resulted in the best workforce from around the county coming and settling down in this region.

Realty Preempting Growth
The real estate development in other big cities of the country happened with hindsight and was almost always catching up with the expansion of the commercial and residential real estate demand. However, the real estate developers in this region have been preempting the growth in the city. The MNCs moved to the city because of the availability of high-quality commercial properties having all the necessary features and meeting global standards.  Even Indian companies saw value in choosing Noida over other cities for similar reasons. The home buyers found the best of features like earthquake-resistant buildings, superior fire fighting systems, and state-of-the-art security systems, pro-environment features, and LEAD certification are now commonplace in the projects here, apart from affordability and accessibility.

The recent international events and geo-political happenings have caused a whole lot of global companies to shift their manufacturing bases to India. These companies have been effectively lured by the states of Uttar Pradesh and they are coming and choosing the vicinity of Yamuna Expressway for setting up their manufacturing units. There are several multi-crore investments happening in this region by international companies and this region is going to be a big hub for exports out of the country.  This will take the GDP of the city of Gautam Budh Nagar even higher. The GDP of the city is already the biggest share of the GDP of the large state of Uttar Pradesh and also has its highest per capita income.

Jewar Airport-Shot in the Arm
Now with the largest airport of Asia-Jewar Airport coming up in close proximity of the region, there will be a direct impact on the real estate market. International connectivity will not only help the corporates but will compel a lot of other people who are connected with the airport and aviation business to settle down here. The development of such a large world-class infrastructure project is providing a new kind of dynamism to the region. Such dynamism is resulting in even better shopping malls, offices, condos, and even studio apartments in the region. There will be a big boost to the hospitality sector in the region as international travelers will look for staying options near the airport, just like in any other global city.

Another project that will further provide vivaciousness to the region will be the new Electronic City cleared by the state government recently.  The 700-acre project will result in the region and the state as a whole become a major hub of electronics systems, design, and manufacturing. This will also drive innovation and foreign investment in the field of electronics in the state. The electronics manufacturing units will act as the main source of products for the logistics hub and multiple freight corridors that are planned near Dadri. The electronic city, together with the logistics hub, will drive the demand for industrial properties. Needless to say, these industries will also attract professionals who would like to work and live here and help create this region an even stronger pool of young, talented, and cosmopolitan workforce.

Film City
One of the biggest film cities in the country is now coming up next to Yamuna Expressway which will not only drive economic activity but also prove to be an important milestone in making the city a hub for entertainment and cultural hub. There has already been a flurry of investment in the 1,000-acre project site and the project is proving to be a huge money-spinner for all the related industries. This is also driving the demand for good residential projects, apart from other things. This film city will prove to be a money-spinner for a lot of associated sectors and artists. This will help in employment generation further in the region.

All these industries have been supported by the real estate sector in the past and will continue to be buttressed by it in the future. There is the quest for the adoption of new technology among the developers who are able to come up with more secure projects, keeping the affordability factor intact. The projects here compare with the best in the world when it comes to structural safety, amenities, and even façade. The developers here have been able to offer the entire bouquet of residential options to the home buyers including studio apartments, villas, condos, apartments, bungalows, etc. There are even integrated townships to choose from. With constant innovations by the developers, this bouquet can only be expected to get better in the future.

Metro connectivity, the biggest X-factor for Andheri’s realty growth

Apr 25, 2021 by Neel Achary 0 Comments #Director, #Mr. Anuj Khetan, #Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, #Transcon Developers, #Vijay Khetan Group

Andheri is one of the largest areas of Mumbai that possesses many gated communities, luxury apartments and commercial spaces. The location offers excellent connectivity, good social infrastructure and a walk to work culture which is the main reason for its rapid growth. Thus, there is no denying that Andheri is certainly one of the best places to live in Mumbai. Speaking about the Andheri realty market, it is always classified into two parts – Andheri West and Andheri East. While Andheri West is one of the opulent and the oldest residential areas of the city, comparatively Andheri East has transmuted into a major commercial destination and is the densest micro-market in Mumbai.

Andheri_metro_station

Andheri West is a highly sought-after residential destination due to its bustling and luxurious lifestyle. The suburb is well-connected with major landmarks of Mumbai and houses some of the biggest entertainment companies in the country. Home to a number of reputed educational institutes, retail & entertainment destinations, healthcare facilities, fine restaurants and more, the suburb makes for an upscale residential area which has clearly defined it as one of the best neighbourhoods to invest in.

Commenting on the glam quotient of the area, Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers said, “Locations such as Lokhandwala & Link Road at Andheri West are the most vibrant parts of the western suburbs, known for their upbeat and happening lifestyle with a plethora of clubs, food joints, movie theatres and production houses buzzing all the time. Everything from business hubs, domestic and international airports, Western Express Highway to hubs of entertainment like malls, multiplexes, retail showrooms and realms of wellness like hospitals and gyms to spheres of education like schools and institutions are in close proximity. With famous production studios and some of the best nightlife attractions only a few steps away, not only is this a place that never sleeps but also has a ton of bling value.”

Andheri East on the other hand is the most well-connected suburb in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) due to the presence of Western Express Highway and the Mumbai Metro. Also, due to its proximity to both international and domestic airports, it offers a number of high-end hotels for tourists and business travellers. The locality has benefited immensely due to its proximity to prominent commercial hubs such as Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and Lower Parel, and key eastern suburbs including Powai, Kanjurmarg, Vikhroli, Ghatkopar and Kurla. Also, well known as a prime industrial destination due to the presence of MIDC and SEEPZ, it has been accommodating new age office spaces and IT Parks in addition to conventional office buildings. It has emerged as an appropriate choice for middle class buyers and investors looking for stable rental returns.

Commenting on the location advantage, Mr. Anuj Khetan, Director, Vijay Khetan Group said, “One of the most strategic locations to stay in Mumbai, Andheri East offers tremendous opportunities for home buyers and investors looking for an upside on their investment. It is a privilege to own a home at a location that has the maximum number of 5-star hotels, the international airport, the only functional metro of Mumbai and is a stone throw away from the western express highway. Corporates are choosing to set up a base in Andheri East on account of the infrastructural developments and availability of mid-segment and luxury properties. It is one of the most cosmopolitan suburbs which is witnessing traction from the middle class as well as upper-middle-class buyers and tenants. Homebuyers are therefore attracted by the wide range of options at competitive prices as compared to the overpriced western counterpart of the locality.”

The Metro line running through the heart of the Andheri between Versova and Ghatkopar has played a significant role in recent years, leading to an increase in demand for space at nearby locations. Further, the Metro 2A, Metro 7 and Metro 3 routes will put Andheri on a realty growth track. Taking into consideration the planned infrastructure initiatives like the enhanced metro connectivity and the increasing demand for office properties, one can expect considerable growth in the area’s real estate market in the near future.

Gulshan’s sustainable homes in sync with Earth Day theme

Apr 23, 2021 by Rekha Nair 0 Comments #Director, #Gulshan Group, #Ms. Yukti Nagpal

Hydroponic farming, carbon footprint minimization, TFA outlets for improved air quality available in projects for energy conservation and quality living

With this year’s Earth Day theme “Restore Our Earth”, Gulshan, one of the leading real estate developer, stands tall with its commitment to set benchmarks for constructing new age homes and commercial spaces that thrive on the principles of exclusive luxury and sustainability for the better future of humankind. The Gulshan group is on a mission to pass on a green world and prosperous cities to future generations; it is developing IGBC certified residential projects like Gulshan Dynasty in Noida that offer a diverse range of thoughtfully chosen amenities adding value to the residents’ lifestyle and surrounding community.

Talking about green and sustainable vision, Ms. Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Group, says, “All our projects in Noida and Greater Noida are equipped with green technologies and innovative environment conservative methods for restoring and improving the natural ecosystem. Our mission is to conceptualize projects that have no equivalent in the country. We have to understand that mitigation and adaptation are not the only ways to address climate change. The focus should be on a push for climate literacy, so the people can understand the need to take climate seriously; the more people realize the need to care about Mother Earth, the more they will understand that they are only caring about themselves.”

Gulshan Group’s projects offer the ambitious concept of hydroponic farming that make organically produced edibles readily available for the residents; Dynasty offers one of the first residential units in Noida that implement TFA units at various points in the home to supply fresh air. HEPA filters or EACs are added to the TFA unit for a better result in air purification. The projects also use power generated from solar panels to lighten up the common areas, promote efficient usage of water, STP for waste treatment, and irrigation to minimize the carbon footprint. Such environmentally conscious practices facilitate the usage of recycled products and leads to waste reduction.

Each project of Gulshan Group is conceived to deliver absolute indulgence in an organic setting. For cultivating a lifestyle in sync with wellness and fitness, Gulshan Dynasty offers unique spaces like pergola walkways, jungle gyms for workout sessions in the open air, meditation gardens, reflexology parks, indoor pools, and sunbathing decks that motivate the residents to feel better every day.

The projects also follow a strategic plantation scheme with mosquito repellant and air purification plants that absorb particulate matter in the air and filter clean air by removing the pollutants. Mosquito repellent plants such as Ivory Tree and Holy Basil effectively reduce the chances of mosquito-borne diseases amongst the inhabitants.

Chandigarh: Punjab-based real estate developer Motia Group today announced the launch of Motia’z Harmony Greens, a premium housing project, nearby Sector 20, Panchkula, on Kishanpura-Sanauli Road, Zirakpur. Spread over 7 acres, the project will be completed in multiple phases in three years. The project will have beautifully spaced & efficient 3 BHK, 3+1 BHK, and 5+1 BHK in plot sizes varying from 195 Sq. Yd. to 337 Sq. Yd, with starting price of Rs. 58 Lakhs.

Adjoining a forest cover of approximately 300 acres, the premium residential project brings an upgraded lifestyle in the lap of nature, away from the fast-paced tempo of city life with all major necessities in close proximity, and proposed connectivity to 200 ft. wide PR7 Airport Road. The properties around PR7 Airport Road near Zirakpur are attracting investment from people due to the potential of high returns as these properties offer seamless commuting to the adjoining areas. The newly constructed road connects Chandigarh, Zirakpur, Mohali, and in time, Panchkula, is expected to draw investments from NRIs, Punjab, Haryana, Jammu, and Himachal residents.

“With Chandigarh on the map for NRIs, the opening of properties in Zirakpur near Airport Road has provided them with the opportunity to expect high returns on their investment. It also has excellent access to key places, nearby tourist attractions, and high quality of life, making it a popular place to buy/invest. Furthermore, property investment is secure because you will receive returns on your capital, whether through rental or capital appreciation; capital appreciation is predicted to range between 10% and 12% in the short term,” says LC Mittal, Director, Motia Group.

The low-rise project — S+4 concept with lift — to be developed with earthquake resistant RCC structure has a host of amenities, including Rain Water Harvesting, well-covered stilt parking, Lifetime free meditation (B.K. Meditation Centre), Kids Play Area & Jogging Track, Commercial arcade within the premises, Up to 64 feet wide Internal Roads, Free Club House, Open Gymnasium, e-Intercom facility, and 24×7 Power backup.

In phase I, the Group will deliver 72 units out of the total 272 units. Most of the city conveniences are at a short distance from the project: Bus Stand is 10 minutes drive, Railway Station is 12 minute drive, Alchemist Hospital is 6 min drive, and International Airport is 14 min drive. “In fact, the area is witnessing many foreign brands in commercial establishments making their presence felt here because they see a large footfall of all ages from the mid-segment to the high-end strata. Real estate in this area is seeing a major increase as more developers and investors are inclined to join this upcoming hub,” adds LC Mittal.
