The strategically located plot is in Kalwa, along the Thane-Belapur Road, an area experiencing rapid growth due to its proximity to key hubs and improving infrastructure.
Kalwa has emerged as an attractive residential destination, benefitting from its close connection to Thane, one of India's most active real estate markets, and Navi Mumbai, a growing employment hub. These factors make it particularly appealing to working professionals seeking convenient housing options.
Anand Moorthy, Co-founder and CBO, Capital Market & Services, Square Yards said, “We are witnessing leading developers strategically positioning themselves across key markets, acquiring significant land parcels. This aligns with the growing demand for office spaces as well as residential apartments in gated communities as homebuyer preference have shifted towards projects that offer a range of amenities and open spaces. These high-value deals in the market clearly signal profitable opportunities for developers in both residential and commercial sectors. Additionally, global firms and tech-giants are increasingly expanding their presence in India. The digitization of land records and enhanced transparency have played a key role in boosting stakeholder confidence in the Indian real estate sector."
