The Real Estate Boom Continues in Kochi

vcode — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:39:54 +0000

Kochi is the ‘happening place’ in Kerala, being the commercial capital and land prices have been increasing not in a steady upward curve but in leaps and bounds. The land value in various part of Kochi is directly linked with the plans for new projects-IT park, Container Terminal, and Airport etc. It is estimated that the future will witness huge investments on infrastructure development for highways, shopping malls and housing projects, which will sent the price of land spiraling.

Genesis: Kochi is a cosmopolitan city modeling itself on the lines of Bangalore and Mumbai. A few decades back, the commercial centre in Kochi or Ernakulam, as it was then called, was restricted to Broadway and M.G.Road. The city started spreading and far-flung areas like Kakkanad have now become part of Kochi city with residential apartments coming up all over the beautiful hillocks in this area. Business establishments have started relocating their showrooms and outlets on the sides of the Trivandrum bye pass road between Edapally and Vytilla. The construction of the Vypeen bridge has opened up new areas for residential and commercial construction as Kochi has become easily accessible from Kochi.

Why invest in Indian real estate? People have now realized that investment in the stock market, with its ups and downs has its own related problems whereas bank deposits and mutual funds are restrictive in returns. Investing in real estate is a guarantee that the returns at the time of disposal will definitely be higher making it is a very safe mode of investment

The Flat culture.Flats have become popular due to the safety and security available for flat dwellers. There is an element of the historical ‘tharavadu’(the joint family system of yesteryears) in the concept of flats with the role of the ‘karnavar’ (seniormost male member who word is the law in the ‘tharavadu’) whose role has been taken over by the Building society in each flat complex. In addition to security, the tenant need not worry about payment of electricity, water or other maintenance bills which are taken care of by the society. All external maintenance is also done by the society. Many of the builders provide utilities like centralized gas, health club, waste chutes and driver’s rooms which are value additions. The paper work involved during the purchase is also minimal and the biggest boon is that one need not worry about the problems of construction-labour, purchase of material, permits and licenses etc.

Independent houses. Independent villas and houses are expensive but if one can afford it can make you feel like a king. There are many builders who carry out construction on contract basis and with totally transparent terms and conditions. This helps avoid the headaches one would have to face while building homes.

Residential areas. Panmpilly Nagar, Kakkanad, Gandhi Nagar, Giri Nagar, Kumaran Asan Nagar, are residential localities which have come up during the past few decades. Palarivattom, Kaloor,and Edapally, are the older residential areas. Kakkanad is fast becoming one of the most favored spots for villas and flats while in Kathrikadavu area, with its two new flyovers, land value has touched new highs. Of late, Nedumassary which is outside city limits is also being developed as a residential area by some developers. It is obvious that land value is going up day by day but good plots are fast becoming scarce. Rates have quadrupled in the space of five years, and in some cases even doubled in one year. The best time is to buy now as tomorrow would be too late. See more Indian real estate news.

RCF Plans to Unlock Value of its Real Estate Assets in Mumbai

vcode — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:45:36 +0000

Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilisers (RCF), which owns close to 800 acres in the Sion-Chembur region in the heart of Mumbai, is planning to re-develop its residential areas with high-rise towers to unlock the value of its real estate assets. The public sector fertilizer major, whose residential colonies occupy about 300 acres, has appointed a consultant to design a blue-print to re-develop a part of the area with two-three residential towers.

“RCF will shift employees currently residing at the RCF colony to these towers and will offer the rest of the apartments to other public sector companies such as Indian Oil or Bharat Petroleum,” RCF Chairman and Managing Director US Jha told Business Standard. He pointed out that most of the buildings in RCF’s housing colonies were old and in a bad condition.

“Restoration of these buildings will cost close to Rs 300 crore. We are planning to optimise the value of this land by building towers for our own use and for the use of other public sector undertakings,” Jha said. He further noted that a part of the proposed high-rise buildings could also be used to house IT firms and even be converted into an IT park.

The consultant will provide the blue-print soon. RCF is planning to approach the government for various clearances and funds to go ahead with the project. Jha said RCF had so far not considered the participation of private sector Indian real estate developers in the project.

“We will not sell or rent our premises for real estate or related commercial ventures. We will invite bids after the clearances. They (the companies) can help us construct the towers,” he said. It may be noted that RCF’s land in Mumbai has been a prime target for real estate players for many years. In the last few years, there have been several media reports that RCF may sell a part of its real estate assets as a part of the government plan for divestment of loss-making public sector units.

According to sources, RCF’s plants are spread across about 400 acres and its residential colonies cover about 300 acres. More than 100-150 acres could be utilised for various commercial development purposes, including captive expansion, RCF cannot utilise the property for non-related businesses as per the land acquisition norms laid down at the time of the commissioning of RCF, the sources added. As reported earlier, RCF is also working on a project to unlock the value of its real estate assets by venturing into related chemical businesses by setting up a chemical park and a chemical commodity exchange in its premises. The company also had close to 700 acres at its Taal facility, sources said. RCF had also formed a joint venture with Rapid Building Systems of Australia for setting up a Rapidwall manufacturing facility at its Trombay unit at a cost of Rs 75 crore.
