• Replicating last quarter’s growth trajectory, the real estate
landscape of Navi Mumbai offered some breather after the
grimness elucidated by MMR. The market clocked a
growth of two per cent in Oct-Dec 2015, vis-à-vis the
preceding quarter.
• In addition to the ongoing Navi Mumbai Airport Influence
Notified Area (NAINA), the city has another achievement to
boast – CIDCO’s smart city project. Maharashtra is slated to
witness its first smart city situated in Navi Mumbai by 2019,
for which the agency has proposed a total investment of
Rs 34,777 crore.
• Although the Navi Mumbai International Airport continues
to remain embroiled in legal controversies with the forest
department at Alibag, it has definitely proffered hope to
the micro-markets of Ulwe, Kharghar and Kamothe. These
localities recorded a spike in average capital values by four
per cent, three per cent and one per cent, respectively.
• Sharing a similar fate as that of the airport, the Navi
Mumbai metro project also features in the list of delayed
and controversial infrastructure projects in Mumbai.
However, this project has sustained realty sentiments in
Kharghar and Taloja, which recorded a growth of four per
cent between the last two quaters of 2015.
• Average capital values in Sector-36, Kharghar, which
houses CIDCO’s affordable residential project under the
Swapnapurti Scheme, plunged by five per cent quarterly.
Despite targeting the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS)
and Low Income Groups (LIG), the agency offered units
at Rs 5,124 per sq ft, which is approximately same as the
ongoing market price (Rs 4,500 - Rs 5,500 per sq ft).
• Despite a slew of infrastructure improvements such as
Wadala-Ghatkopar-Thane metro corridor, Thane’s property
landscape emulated MMR’s story and remained stagnant
in Oct-Dec 2015, after clocking a minimal growth in the
Jul-Sep quarter last year.
• Patlipada’s real estate grew from three per cent in the
previous quarter to six per cent in Oct-Dec 2015. Its
proximity to Hiranandani Estate proves to be an
advantage for the locality.
• Although it continued to hold its position in the
list of top performers in Thane, Kapurbawdi’s capital
sentiments flagged from seven per cent in
Jul-Sep 2015 to five per cent in Oct-Dec 2015.
Bhiwandi and Kolshet Road, too, witnessed property
prices rising by the same margin.
• Kapurbawadi owes its growth to its strategic location and
a number of big ticket projects in the vicinity. Situated at
a convergence from which roads lead to Pokhran Road No.
2, Majiwada registered an average capital rise of three per
cent in Oct-Dec 2015 vs. the preceding quarter.
• Replicating Kapurbawadi’s claim to fame, Bhiwandi, too,
is home to several new project launches, resulting in an
average capital appreciation of five per cent in Oct-Dec as
against the quarter ending September 2015.
• Builder sentiments in Thane were dulled by the frequent
alterations in housing policies. The fraternity complained
of stakeholders being kept in the dark during the
formulation of vital industry guidelines. To this end,
builders sought a digitised process for project approvals.
• A year-on-year study revealed that Navi Mumbai’s rental
market witnessed an unanticipated growth of seven per
cent in Oct-Dec 2015 over the same quarter last year.
A substantial extent of credit for this surge goes to the
presence of IT/ITeS firms, which were instrumental in
attracting workforce, thus increasing demand for
houses on rent.
• Boasting of a rise of 20 per cent, New Panvel contributed
significantly to the landscape’s growth. However, the
surge does not come as a surprise since the region has
strong civic infrastructure and is well-connected to
Mumbai and other parts of the state via a network of
roads, namely, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and the
Uran-Panvel Road. Since the area is located at an easy
distance of 11 km from the Navi Mumbai Airport, it will
continue being one of the preferred localities of the
tenant community in the city.
• Ulwe recorded a jump of 17 per cent in rental values in
Oct-Dec 2015, vis-à-vis 2014. With the state government
of Maharashtra adopting the ‘Housing for All’ scheme
and aiming to build 19 lakh low-priced houses by 2022,
the comparatively affordable market of Ulwe has come
to the fore. Reasonably-priced properties translate into
lower rentals. The locality is expected to see better
times ahead with the development of three special
economic zones (SEZ) by Reliance Industries.
• Belapur witnessed a rental growth of 16 per cent in
the last one year. The broadening of the Sion-Panvel
Expressway from four to six lanes helped the locality to
become popular among the tenant community.
• Maintaining its growth pace on the rental charts,
Thane clocked an average rise of four per cent
between Oct-Dec 2014 and 2015. The state
government’s endeavour to improve road and
civic infrastructure in the region, coupled with the
affordability quotient, sustained sentiments.
• Anand Nagar’s rental landscape witnessed a
remarkable hike of 10 per cent in Oct-Dec 2015,
vis-à-vis the same quarter last year. The locality
owns its rental demand to its strategic location at
a cross junction road, which facilitates quick travel
to Kolshet Road via the locality. Furthermore, the
Thane Municipal Corporation proposed the
construction of a foot overbridge along the
Eastern Express Highway to ease travel for
cyclists and pedestrians.
• Rents in Pokharan Road recorded a rental hike of 10
per cent in the last one year. The long-pending issue
of broadening Pokharan Road No.1, which will ease
bottlenecks at Vartak Nagar junctions, has added to
the rental flavour of the locality.
• Hiranandani Estate, which saw values escalating by
nine per cent during the tracked time span, draws its
demand from its excellent civic amenities, such as
clean roads and educational facilities. Being easily
accessible via the Ghodbunder Road and housing
the Hiranandani Business Park has proven
advantageous for the locality. Recently, Tata
Consultancy Services rented over two million sq ft
of office space for 15 years.
