He mentioned that remote working for offices will be there and going back to the regular office working system is difficult as of now, few IT Companies have given Work from home for life. YOLO (You Only Lives Once) concept is coming up with the youngsters.
The Data Centers are in huge demand, price attract to acquire land to create data centres is very high. Navi Mumbai is the place that is becoming more operational for Data Centers operators. Shri Anuj Puri mentioned that overall sales comparative to 2019-20 was not at the best level. it is 25% lower than 2019. It is not the market has expanded but sales have gone up. 1.1 crore homes in India are vacant compared to China’s 5 Crore. There is enough investor inventory is there in the market.
He also mentioned to Learn, Unlearn & Relearn. Many things that get us successful are not the things that are going to take us to the next level. There have to be new thoughts, youngsters need to come up and share their new ideas. Lastly, he points out that In India there are Office REITS but in the U.S there are Residential REITS. If you build to rent, then the efficiency comes in. Currently, we are building which is not designed to rent. So there is lots of wastage of space.
RED Talk with Shri Aaditya Thackeray, Hon’ble Minister for Environment & Tourism
Shri Aaditya Thackeray, Hon’ble Minister mentioned that this real estate industry has done well even in the time of pandemic and the government has extended its support to them. This was only possible because of two-way dialogues. Both of us heard out each other, both of us understood each other. We are creating Affordable Housing; at the same time, we are upgrading the lifestyle. Both the sectors play a major role.
He mentioned that whenever these two sectors meet the Politics and the real estate many times it is termed as Builder politician nexus. Hence, we need to create such nexus in reality and work together. We need to look at how to build this city and take advantage of Chief Minister, who is true Mumbaikar at heart. The next few infrastructures will be ready like Metro Development, coastal roads, Worli – Sewri connector, Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, Goregaon – Mulund Link road and Beautification of Eastern Express Highway, Western Express
Highway, Eastern Freeway, AGLR, SCLR, JVLR will be done.
As market leaders, the Government working along with Engineers, Architects, Designers, can build a better city if we come together and build a better city in terms of affordability and aesthetics.
