Residential..!

Residential sales acitivity was moderate during January, 2013. However, few developers in select projects started offering limited period discount on the market price to lure buyers & improve the sales. Astoria 1 by Saaga Infra in Borivali, My World by Lotus Group in Wadala and World in Towers by the Legend Siroya and Unity Group joint venture (JV) in Oshiwara were the new launches during the month.

Rents remained stable over the month, with capital values observing marginal appreciation compared to the previous month in select precincts such as Wadala, Ghodbunder Road and Kharghar.

The Maharashtra government has increased the ready reckoner rates in Mumbai by 18 to 20 %, leading to an increase in the residential properties’ base value.


Retail..!

Net absorption increased in the month of January on the back of improved business sentiment following a policy change to allow foreign direct investment (FDI) into multi-brand retailing, decreasing the overall vacancy rate in select quality malls.

High streets continued to see healthy activity in the city’s select precincts. Barbie leasing space in Infiniti II Mall in Malad, Nike renting space in Colaba High Street and Raiara taking up space in R City Mall in Ghatkopar were some of the major transactions in January, 2013.

There were no new completions during this month. Rents increased slightly in the Prime South and the Suburbs submarkets, but remained stable in the Prime North submarket. Capital values inched up marginally across all the submarkets with higher growth in the Suburb submarket.

Office..!

The office sector witnessed moderate leasing activity in January, 2013 as occupiers were adopting a wait & watch approach on their expansion plans ahead of the Union Budget announcement in February 2013.

However, the SBD Central submarket witnessed healthy leasing activity over the month. Vacancy in the SBD North submarket increased, as projects that became operational in the month witnessed subdued demand with low level of absorptions.

The overall vacancy in office spaces increased marginally in the month of January, 2013. Major transactions included Ratnakar Bank leasing additional space in Phase 1 of Techniplex in Goregaon and SBI renting space in the Air India Building in Nariman Point.

Hubtown Solaris in the SBD North submarket and First International Financial Centre in the SBD Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) submarket commenced operation in January with moderate pre-commitments. Rents remained unaltered over the month.
