With reduced travel times and improved ease of commute, the demand for residential and commercial properties along the metro route is expected to surge. Moreover, the Aqua Line is expected to spur a wave of new developments, including residential complexes, retail spaces, and office buildings. Developers are keen to capitalize on the improved infrastructure, leading to an influx of modern amenities and services in the vicinity.
According to industry experts, the Aqua Line will certainly ease traffic congestion, improve connectivity, and enhance the commute experience. Once all 330 kilometers of metro lines are built and operational, the real impact of this on real estate development will be evident. The improved connectivity will dramatically reduce travel time between the western suburbs and South Mumbai, from the current 90 minutes to just 30 minutes. It will enhance the daily commute for professionals and residents, increasing the demand for residential properties in areas like Jogeshwari, Marol, and Andheri.
The Aqua Line will also make BKC more accessible from various parts of the city, boosting its appeal to businesses. The proximity to SEEPZ will also positively impact commercial property demand in Andheri. Localities currently lacking access to any rapid transit public system, especially those within a 3 km radius of the new metro stations, will particularly benefit from the Aqua Line.
Since the line will provide a direct and efficient route connecting key areas in Mumbai, it will enable seamless travel for daily commuters to prominent business districts and commercial hubs. The enhanced connectivity will likely attract a workforce seeking affordable rental options with high connectivity to these employment centers. We anticipate that the rentals in the western suburbs will rise as the Aqua Line attracts individuals and families seeking high connectivity with relatively lower rental costs. The improved infrastructure and connectivity are expected to drive capital value growth, making these micro markets attractive for investors and homebuyers alike.
