INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE 2020

The real estate in India has gained momentum in comparison to the previous year. The help the sector has received from the government of India has been immensely productive in restoring the sector. In terms of funds and various initiatives, the government of India has put in place to grow the industry back to a flourishing state. This has led to various static projects restarting its development process and also providing the right amenities for real estate developers to continue the construction of those projects. The New Year has brought forth a new era of investments for the real estate sectors.

This sector is going through a transformational change this year. For a long duration of time, real estate in India has enjoyed support and financing from wealthy investors and equity firms. Although, the past few years the housing sectors in India’s real estate have experienced a low in investment and consumer demands have progressively declined. This is because of the changes in the Goods and services tax, Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, demonetization issues, and also changes in a few other policies.

Commercial sectors in real estate:

The commercial sectors have been blooming in comparison to other sectors such as residential properties. As investors are losing confidence in regards to investing in housing or residential properties due to policy change and also housing tax duties. Investors have started taking minimal interest in residential properties, whereas the commercial sector has been performing well. Investors and real estate dealers are eyeing the commercial projects and warehousing properties rigorously like never before. From an investment point of view, the commercial properties are beneficial when it comes to financial returns as it offers more attractive investment yield. The depreciation of capital percentage is at 3 to 12 percent. Also, the return on investments for commercial properties is higher than residential properties. Although the commercial sectors are doing much better and investing helps reap more return on investment (ROI), it is very important to research on the type of commercial property to invest in and also know the occupancy rates of different vicinities.

India is now flooded with several Multinational corporations (MNC) and technology companies that have a high demand for premium office spaces. The corporation and commercial property demand have been increasing despite temporary setbacks such as the continuing economic slowdown. In the area of BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) alone, Tokyo-based Sumitomo Corporation has offered more than Rs 2,238 crore for a three-acre plot, where there would be a plantation of an office complex. Also, the Blackstone Group has bought one Bandra Kurla Complex office building for Rs 2,500 crore and is also in talks of buying another multi-crore property around the vicinity.

Commercial spaces and properties have proven to be an extremely lucrative sector in real estate that is attracting new investors due to the fact that investors now see a major investment area for reaping a return on investment. It is also has a more structured form of investment that investors find appealing. Therefore, the commercial sector is the right way to go now, when investing in real estate in 2020.
