Why Kolkata?

Britishers described Kolkata as the Gateway to India and Kolkata is an effervescent city that accommodates more than 15 million people and best known as 'the City of Joy'.

Kolkata's Building & Construction is buzzing with activity. The city is witnessing new construction activity and re-development, simultaneously. Like all other metro cities, Kolkata too has spilled over its boundaries. Kolkata serves as a nodal point for north-east region of the country. Hence, it serves as a key spot of all retail and commercial activities. Office space rentals in Kolkata remains higher than the more fancied Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad, a clear indication that business demand is still robust.

A study by global realty consultant Cushman & Wakefield revealed that that rents in Kolkata have been least affected by the downturn. Developers are reviving big-ticket projects in Kolkata. Consultants say real estate prices in Kolkata have begun to firm up. Among those restarting construction of key projects in Kolkata are Emaar MGF Land Ltd, which plans to build two 250-room hotels under the JW Marriott and Holiday Inn brands, and local players such as Dhoot Developers Pvt. Ltd, South City Projects (Kolkata) Ltd and Merlin Projects Ltd, which are building large commercial complexes in partnership with the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority, or KMDA--an arm of the state government. Property values in Kolkata have risen at the fastest pace among Indian metros since 2007, according to the National Housing Bank's (NHB) Residex--an index of property prices. Property values in Kolkata rose by an average of 16.8% while those in Bangalore fell by 15.6% in the period. Fewer speculative deals and lower base prices saw the eastern Indian metropolis outpace hotter property markets such as Mumbai and Delhi, where property values rose at a comparatively sedate average of 7.5% and 7.3%, respectively.
