Surajkund – Lucrative Real Estate Options

Real estate boom in India has activated many dormant areas to become super- active. Surajkund is currently going through this phase of activation and is ready to cross the threshold in order to emerge as a real estate destination. This boom is further strengthened by the relaxation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the real estate and construction sector. Additionally, the retail segment has opened the doors for the commercial real estate sector of India. Faridabad is fast becoming the next hot destination for expanding developmental activities. The pace of real estate growth is expected to prosper well as more and more companies are now choosing to opt for Surajkund. The city has become a prominent investment destination due to its proximity to Delhi and also because of the rising values of the real estate in Gurgaon and Noida.

Faridabad has traditionally been an industrial city, with 300 large and 10,000 small scale units and the Haryana Government’s new Industrial Model Township. However, the industrial town of Faridabad is now noticing new residential developments, especially in Surajkund village that spans across 30 acres. Surajkund, already known for its international Mela, is now a residential delight for many. The Surajkund mela was launched in 1981 by the Haryana Tourism and is held in the month of February from 1st-15th every year. This craft Mela (fair) serves as a meeting ground for talented artists, painters, weavers, sculptors and craftsmen from all over India who display handicraft products in the typical setting of a rural Indian market place. The place is visited by number of domestic and International tourists and the foot-falls seems to be multiplying every year.

Manesar is now known as an industrial and commercial hub of the city and has long ago shredded its image of a village. Earlier, no one had ever thought that a small city like Manesar could hold such potential for real estate market. There could be many reasons for this metamorphosis:

It went on to develop Gurgaon property market by carrying their operations there and when again it was exploited enough, they moved further to Manesar. Therefore, hefty investments from various MNCs and setting up of major establishments in the city led to its conversion into New Gurgaon as called by many over the past few years.

The property rates have doubled and even trebled in some areas in Manesar and have jumped from Rs. 20-25 lakhs per acre to Rs. 1.10-1.40 crores per acre. In just few months, commercial property prices have hiked by whole 35-60% and residential property by over 35%.
