How Visakhapatnam is a Boon for Real Estate Developers

Vizag comes under the Smart City Project, announced by PM Narendra Modi that each state will get at least one Smart City, In PM Modi's words about smart city - very high quality of life comparable with any developed European city.

The Narendra Modi government has provided a list of 98 cities, including 24 state capitals for its ambitious Smart Cities project. The list includes 13 cities from UP, 12 from Tamil Nadu, 10 from Maharashtra, 7 from MP, and 3 each from Bihar and Andhra Pradesh (Visakhapatnam, Tirupati and Kakinada.)

Smart City means high quality living, clean roads, IT hubs, and more employment and growth in the real estate market. It would be helpful for urbanisation. It has not only a few hours of water supply a day, or electricity that goes off for several hours, or streets littered with garbage. The appearance of the city has to be pleasing and clean. There would be high chances to make the tourist sector more attractive and it will lead to earn more dollars and it is also a big opportunity for the Real Estate sector as it would be a very good investment for the investors with a long-term vision.

The Vizag already the hotspot for real estate investments. It is just picking up pace and the revised land values and sales would pick up as the conditions are most favourable for buyers in the recent times and would be more favourable when Vizag will become the Smart city. Visakhapatnam city is emerging as an alternate destination for Hyderabad as there are big IT hubs of Andhra Pradesh.

The foremost reason for boom of real estate in Vizag is higher demand than supply for last 2-3 years. According to Survey, 10% to 15% hike observed in property sales. Addition to this the NRI people also showed the interest in investing in city and it will be increased by 60%-70% in coming years. As a buyer will get the best residential property in his/her budget.

The properties near to beaches or ocean views are getting more attention like TheCelest upcoming real estate project in Gajuwaka offering 2 and 3 bhk luxury flats and duplex apartments are getting more attention of buyers.

The VUDA (Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority) has also boosted the growth through investing in residential and apartments projects in Visakhapatnam.
