With fully-developed surrounding infrastructure and the novelty of an iconic address, South Delhi has become an ideal location for homes that offer exclusive and luxurious living experiences.
Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund, said, “South Delhi is predominantly inhabited by the wealthy class, comprising businessmen, lawyers, and salaried professionals with a taste for luxurious floors and villas.
As a result, a lot of new developments on vacant plots or redevelopment of old buildings are being undertaken to suit the taste of the neo-rich next-Gen and cater to the needs of growing families.
The accessibility to entertainment and recreational facilities, family offices, the airport, and other social infrastructure like schools and hospitals make it an ideal destination.”
Consistent demand, reliable and safe investment, and substantial returns are the factors driving the South Delhi real estate market.
These factors make it the most perfect location for homeownership, either for self-stay or investment for wealth creation and income generation.
The real estate in the region boasts of safety of the asset against depreciation of capital.
“HNIs, NRIs, and family offices, who earlier invested in local properties without the cushion of compliance and safety, are making investments in AIFs that invest in these colonies.
With returns as high as 18-20% without having to worry about the safety of investment and property upkeep and maintenance, AIFs have opened a new avenue for these investors,” Jalan added.
AIFs have emerged as a transformative tool by not just channeling resources into the sector but also generating high returns for investors.
The recent data from SEBI indicates that the real estate sector attracted Rs 75,500-crore investment from AIFs, the highest among all sectors, accounting for 17% share.
