Major Landmarks
Factors for Growth in the Past
The abundance of land and greenery on the eastern front of Faridabad resulted in the development of Sector-70. The construction of Main Bypass Road worked in favour of Sector -70 by creating a passage to reach the western and northern half of Faridabad.
Sector-70’s proximity to Faridabad’s Industrial Town, Delhi, and Gurgaon also played a role in its development. The influence of the growing IT sector around the NCR region was also felt here, translating into higher property demand in this sector.
Residential and Commercial Market
Residential Market Trends
Sector-70 has an amalgamation of different types of properties, like apartments, residential plots or lands, independent houses, and agricultural plots. But, the most dominant property type in the area is apartments. The average price to purchase apartments in Sector-70 is Rs 3,300 per sq. ft., which is slowly catching up with the prevailing average price of Rs 3,800 per sq. ft. in Faridabad. Residential plot prices are way lower than apartments, and sells at an average of Rs 1,900 per sq. ft.
Commercial Market Trends
Several industrial lands or plots and commercial shops are available for sale in Sector-70. The average price for these commercial properties range from Rs 40 lakh to Rs 2.5 crore.
Major Challenges
Sector-70’s proximity to Ballabgarh works as both a boon and a bane for the locality. The hazardous wastes emitted by some of the factories in Ballabgarh pollutes the groundwater in Sector-70 and nearby areas.
Factors for Growth in the Future
The proposal to extend the roads between Sector-69 and Sector-70, and lay a concrete road up to Main Bypass Road, will improve connectivity and make Sector-70’s real estate market more attractive.
In addition, the proposal to develop a chunk of land around Sector-70 for public and semi-public use would help improve the social infrastructure in the region, and in turn increase realty demands in the area.
With residential projects such as Mulberry County, Royal Heritage, Faridabad Eye, M&S Homeville being launched here, the residential market in Sector-70 will also see a boom in the future.
