The Aqua Line is also 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 commencement of the Aqua metro line will 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.
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 positively impact commercial property demand in Andheri. Moreover, 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.
The enhanced connectivity will likely attract a workforce seeking affordable rental options with high connectivity to prominent business districts and commercial hubs. Rentals in the western suburbs are expected to 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.
