Posted on September 5, 2010 by vishal

A high-end flat was leased for a rental value of Rs 1.2 lakh per month. This apartment is built in the peripheral location of Gurgaon on an area of 4,200 sq ft. The apartment has been taken on lease by a big corporate for their senior executive. The average rental value for these flats has been consistent throughout the last quarter and falls in the range of Rs 1 to 1.75 lakh.

Since Gurgaon has now become one of the key commercial office hubs in the NCR, it has acquired a remarkable demand for rental residences. With the growth of Gurgaon, metro connectivity which is soon going to hit Gurgaon seems like cherry on the cake. This is likely the reason behind people getting attracted from other areas of NCR to own their homes in Gurgaon.

Real estate demand revitalizes

Posted on August 21, 2009 by admin

The global economic slowdown has provided end users a unique opportunity to buy their sweet homes as prices in many areas in National Capital Region have fallen steeply. Apartments are now available in some markets at almost 50 percent of the prevailing price a couple of years ago. The average price in Gurgaon has fallen by almost thirty percent and in Noida by more than fifteen percent in last two year.
According to PropEquity, Noida and Faridabad demonstrated high absorption primarily due to launch of affordable housing projects. The projects of Jaypee in Noida and BPTP in Faridabad were primarily driving the high absorption values in these cities with these developers commanding more than seventy percent of the market share for the period of Jan-Jun ’09. Noida maintained its top position in NCR with the launch of 7,032 units, and beats Gurgaon by a large margin of over 2,300 units.
However, the slowdown had its effect on the timely delivery of apartments. Unavailability of finances and lack of demand have forced developers to go slow in implementing projects, which were launched earlier. According to the report, amongst the cities witnessing the maximum number of delays in project completion, Ghaziabad and Gurgaon had 71 percent of the projects under implementation falling behind schedule.

Real estate rentals come down

Posted on August 14, 2009 by admin

The trend of Delhi/ NCR shows a huge fall in commercial real estate rentals. It is well known that companies are moving their offices from gurgaon to other areas of NCR because of the high rental costs there. Most of the commercial areas in delhi are offering fully furnished office spaces at much lower cost. This trend has made a tremendous change in gurgaon commercial rental market. However, a clear scenario will be visible in near future but the change is on its way.

I think companies are doing dual cost cutting by moving their offices to other areas. First cost cutting is clear to everyone that is by reduction in rental cost. Second one is bit indirect. As it is known that gurgaon is well known commercial area. Every company provides conveyance facility to their employees because most of the employees come from other areas. If company shifts, the transportation cost will definitely reduce.

Gurgaon lose its position of the biggest real estate rental

Posted on August 8, 2009 by admin

Gurgaon used to be the preferred place for office rental. During the last couple of months, office rental increased tremendously. This led many companies to think about moving their offices to other cities. Even the lock-in period has failed to stop the companies to shift. Companies are also getting fully furnished offices at almost half the rates compared to what they were paying. Due to such trend, the demand for furnished office space is on the rise in Delhi as well as in all the major towns of the country. Companies prefer to start their office in furnished offices rather than starting them in bare commercial place.
