Colliers, a leading real estate consultancy, has identified and evaluated over 100 emerging cities to determine their real estate attractiveness and growth potential over the next 5-6 years in its latest report ‘Equitable Growth and Emerging Real Estate Hotspots’. A comprehensive analysis of these cities was done involving assessment of various social, economic, financial, and real estate specific demand and supply side parameters.
The report highlights 17 high-potential cities that will witness accelerated real estate growth across three or more asset classes, including office, residential, warehousing, retail, hospitality, and alternatives (data centres, senior living, second homes, etc.). These cities are spread across the northern, southern, western, eastern, and central regions of the country, showcasing equitable growth across the nation.
Infrastructure growth will remain a key catalyst for real estate development across India. Enhanced connectivity and increased manufacturing activity driven by flagship infrastructure projects under National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and PM GatiShakti will lead to the dispersion and expansion of growth centres beyond Tier I cities. This will significantly boost the economies of smaller towns, triggering real estate activity across warehousing and residential segments particularly.
In addition, the rising prevalence of hybrid working has led to companies adopting the hub and spoke model, establishing satellite offices in smaller towns. Cities such as Coimbatore, Indore, and Kochi have emerged as high-potential satellite office markets, offering a win-win scenario for companies and employees alike.
Increased digitisation is also set to boost real estate activity in smaller towns, particularly in warehousing and data centres. The growth of e-commerce will facilitate the expansion of online retail platforms, leading to the development of fulfilment centres, warehouses, and distribution hubs in strategic locations.
Lastly, spiritual tourism is poised to be a critical growth driver for the development of several temple towns in India, attracting organised real estate players to these spiritual destinations in the long term, specifically across hospitality and retail segments.
