Source: Hindustan Times This week, we try to dispel some myths regarding commercial real estate by answering some frequently asked questions. How well is commercial space doing vis-a-vis the other real estate sectors? The market for office space in India has witnessed a compounded annual growth in excess of 30 per cent over the past seven to eight years. The growth has been highest in the met-ros, and there is an overall annual addition of approximately 58 million square feet of office space. Is commercial space the primary driver? Does retail count in it? For all practical purposes, retail counts as commercial space - meaning that it is used for commercial purposes, and that a different set of parameters from those that apply to residential space comes into play. However, the IT and IT-enabled services industry does lay claim to a pretty significant chunk of the overall demand. Retail, in the form of shopping malls and multiplexes falls in a comparable league. There is also a huge dem

Companies developing several projects simultaneously are likely to get a waiver on meeting FDI conditions on some if majority of the projects are FDI-compliant. Realty companies are subjected to conditions such as three-year lock-in period and a minimum development of 10 hectares for bringing in FDI. The move will particularly benefit real estate companies that take up expansion plans from time to time. Under the proposed waiver, such expansion schemes/projects would be eligible to get foreign funds even if they do not comply with the required conditionalities separately on their own. “Many a time, the developer faces difficulty to hive off projects that are not FDI-compliant. The industry’s main grouse is that if some of the projects are taken in isolation it negates the purpose of the whole project,” a sen

Source:The Times of India New Delhi: Home loan rates alone do not affect activities in the real estate sector; the performance of the stock market also has a direct bearing on property prices. So, while high home loan rates have hit the real estate sector in the past one year, properties in tony areas like south Delhi and south Mumbai have appreciated by up to 85% during this period. In the last six months alone, rates here have gone up by 15 % to 47 %. Besides increased demand in the posh areas during the stock market boom, the limited supply also contributed to the high price. During the period of stock market boom till around two months ago, there was a rush of cash-rich investors willing to buy houses for over Rs 5 crore. Though the subsequent market crash has led to decreased demand for ul-tra-delux apartments, limited supplies and absence of distress sellers have meant that prices continue to rise.
