Commercial
Property in NOIDA
The corporate industry in recent years has viewed NOIDA as a commercial address which has not only fuelled the growth in these areas but has also managed to check the real estate prices. In the highly buoyant commercial real estate market, rentals transactions seem to be the order of the day.
The properties are fetching returns of 10% p.a as rentals on the capital value of the property. With the likely hood of more corporates moving into these commercial areas in NOIDA, where the supply too is on the increase, the real estate prices are expected not to show too much of a movement either ways.
Demand for Noida
properties is likely to reach an all time high with
the Noida Board planning to develop one of the largest commercial
spaces in the region. The project will take shape on 225
acres on the Noida-Greater
Noida Expressway. In March 2008, real estate developer
BPTP Limited bagged a 95 acre commercial plot in Noida Sector
94 for a whooping Rs 5,006 crore ($1.24 billion), from the
Noida Authority. BPTP quoted the highest sum of Rs 1,30,207
a square meter beating DLF, India's biggest listed developer,
and Omaxe which quoted Rs 1,17,000 and Rs 80,100 a square
meter, respectively. It plans to develop high end office
and commercial space at a project cost of Rs 9,000 crore.
