Rahul Bansal, Co-Founder of Propacity, shared his vision for the future of Pune's luxury real estate market. He expressed confidence in the potential of the Khadakwasla area, located around 45 minutes from Pune's airport, which he believes is ripe for development into a luxury enclave. "I would buy as much land as I possibly can near the Khadakwasla Dam. The region offers scenic beauty and natural surroundings, making it an ideal location for high-end holiday homes," said Rahul. He believes that, similar to Dubai, which grew into a world-class city through strategic development, Khadakwasla has the potential to become a luxury destination that appeals to high-net-worth individuals.

He believes there is a growing demand for premium housing in city centres as more affluent buyers seek luxurious homes in prime locations close to business districts, restaurants, and entertainment hubs. As the city continues to grow, the demand for luxury homes is likely to increase.
