Key Growth Drivers
– Improvement of the area’s infrastructure in recent times has led to more high-end developers launching projects in the area. These include Oberoi Realty Ltd, Lodha Group and Crescent Group.
– The recent opening of the Mumbai metro rail line from Versova to Ghatkopar passes through Andheri East. This has significantly boosted the area’s attractiveness among home buyers and tenants. The new Sahar Elevated Road that was opened last year near Andheri East too improved the traffic conditions in the area.
– The area’s proximity to the posh areas such as Bandra and Khar, Mumbai International Airport, SEEPZ, SEZ and Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) is a huge driver for the real estate market.
