Suburbs in Mumbai continue to see significant development with new areas set to take centre-stage in the real-estate market. The international property consultant Jones Lang LaSalle Meghraj points to the prevailing trends. In Mumbai’s real estate scenario, the suburban landscape has its stars as well as bit players that are gearing up for centre-stage. Among the stars, in Bandra (W), the rates range around Rs 15,000 to 45,000 a sq.ft in the area which has been an attractive destination, thanks to its high-end properties, sea link connectivity, good shopping and lifestyle embellishments such as restaurants and recreation facilities, and schools and colleges
Kandivali (W) costs around Rs 4,000-6,000 a sq.ft; Kandivali (E) Rs 5,500-7,000 and Borivali Rs 4,000-6,000. These areas are increasingly favoured because of their pricing and the convenience of shopping malls, educational and healthcare facilities and train connectivity. Mulund and Vikhroli are also budget locations that are relatively less congested than areas of Mumbai. They have the advantages of good road and rail connectivity to the hinterlands and also town-side, as well as a suitable bouquet of shopping malls and hospitals. Rates per sq.ft: Mulund — Rs. 4,500-7,500; and Vikhroli — Rs 5,500-7,500.
Thane ranks high on general infrastructure, affordability in terms of properties by reputed developers, and the fact that it is its own workplace catchment on many levels. The rates: Rs 3,000-6,000/sq.ft. Navi Mumbai is a planned city with good infrastructure and its own distinct culture and lifestyle. Property rates are favourable, and there is a good range to choose from. Vashi — Rs 3,500-5,500/sq.ft; Kopar Khairne — Rs 3,000-3,500; Airoli — Rs 2,500-3,500; Sanpada — Rs 3,000-4,000; Nerul — Rs 3,000-4,000; Kharghar — Rs 25,00-40,00; Kalamboli — Rs 2,000-2,400; and Panvel — 2,000-3,000. Mumbai’s suburban growth potential does not end with the currently established locations. The area beyond Panvel is developing rapidly, with a hallmark being Reliance’s Maha Mumbai mini city project.
There are also many other developers in the fray, and this area is eventually bound to emerge as a suburb in its own right. Kalyan and Dombivili are increasingly becoming connected to the rest of Mumbai and will figure high on the radar before too long. Bhayander, Nalasopara and the Vasai-Virar region are also ramping up to become extended suburbs of Mumbai. Rates per sq.ft: Dombivali — Rs 2,500-3,200; Kalyan — Rs 2,500-3,200; Bhayandar — Rs 2,200-2,800; Vasai — Rs 1,500-2,500; and Virar — Rs 1,800-2,400.
