Q: In terms of infrastructural development, can anyone tell me whether investing in Kochi would be a good idea?

The real estate sector in Kochi seems to be getting very mature. Demand is rapidly increasing for land and developers have started many residential projects around the Kochi metro project. But the demand is more for fully furnished 2bhk apartments close to IT companies which costs about 50,000 bucks a month that youngsters usually rent on a sharing basis. But you also get rates like 8000 bucks in places like Kadavanthara and Kakkanad or 45000 rs in Marine Drive. The strict building rules have been ammended 3 years ago and because of that 40% of residential homes have not been sold cause of over supply. And the rate of investement in the outskirts of Kochi is only 15 to 20% because of poor infrastructure. There are negative points as well but the advantages of investing here outweigh the disadvantages. Think about it :)

The thing you've got to know about the buyers of Kochi real estate is that most of them are young adults who are non locals. The infrastructure in Kochi is changing to meet the requirements of the younger population. Everywhere you go, you see mall spaces and new offices coming up. Micromarkets seem to be emerging everywhere. property prices are quite good. 20 lakhs minimum for a nice 2 bhk and and sizes vary between 600 to 1300 sq. feet. The 210 crore UL Cyber Park is another project that is going to sell commercial spaces to companies and employment opportunities are going to rise even more. Kochi has a lot of promise for good returns.

It may seem as though other cities like Bombay, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi have booming real estate and that Kochi is a little slow on that front. But there's a lot of promise for Kochi in the near future. There are a number of new projects where work has already begun. For example the Kochi metro. It's going to be 25 km long and link all the important parts of the city such as Companypady, Ambattukavu, Kalamassery, Edapally, Palarivatom, Ernakulam South, Elamkulam and so on. This public transport facility has already attracted many investors and property prices have risen in those areas. And then ofcourse, Smart City! A huge business centre that is to open in 2015 and by 2020 it would generate about 90,000 jobs. This not only increases housing demand but also a well defined rental market!
