Bangalore North records maximum rental yield identifies Vestian’s Bangalore Real Estate Report

BANGALORE, India - Sept. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- National, 10 th December, 2013: Vestian’s latest research on the city’s residential sphere reveals Average Annual Rental yield between 3% ‐7%, with Bangalore North accounting for best returns of up to 7%. The Bangalore Real Estate Report identifies Bangalore North’s residential market to grow rapidly in the medium to long term owing to the development measures initiated by the Karnataka Government. These massive infrastructure projects include Elevated Expressway to BIAL, the High Speed Rail Link, the Aerospace Park, the Devanahalli Business Park and theHardware Park.

The capital values for this market currently stand between INR 4,800  ‐ 9,000 /sqft for class A villas or row‐houses and between INR 3,800  ‐  11,500/ sqft for class A apartments; and are projected to climb further with absorption of office space and completion of on‐going infrastructure projects. While Wipro Systems & Controls (SEZ) and Starrag Heckert have already commenced operations in Bangalore Hardware Park, the upcoming expansive facilities of Shell Technologies and Tyco Electronics will fuel the residential demand in the northern quadrant of the city. Shrinivas Rao, CEO‐Asia Pacific, Vestian analyses, “Post Union Budget 2013‐14, this region has benefited from heightened investor interest and conducive Government initiatives as the proposed Mumbai‐Bangalore industrial corridor shapes the growth trajectory in the state.”

Bangalore North recorded the highest absorption figures of 5,170 units for H1 2013 as observed by the Bangalore Real Estate Report. While the average annual price appreciation 2012‐13 was examined to range between 11‐18% for this market, it is anticipated to escalate further in the medium to long term. Owing to the availability of large land parcels, the northern quadrant of the city is also the ideal destination for most realtors to develop new residential concepts such as Villas, Sky Villas, Duplex Apartments & Villaments, etc.

he Bangalore Real Estate Report has identified Hennur Road, Thanisandra Main Road & Bellary Road as the emerging micro‐markets in Bangalore North owing to their proximity to the Outer Ring Road & city centre, better social infrastructure and availability of large land parcels.  It also states that Leela Ventures 300‐room 5‐star project in Bhartiya City on Thanisandra Road will positively impact the social infrastructure of the region. Since most hospitality & retail majors are currently mapping the neighbourhoods for their future projects, the social infrastructure is poised to improve in the medium to long term.
