Mr.
Sanjay Dutt, Executive Managing Director, South Asia, Cushman & Wakefield,
says, “In the current economic scenario both buyers and developers are taking a
cautious approach not only towards residential real estate but across all asset
classes of real estate. However, given that most aspects of development such as
construction cost, development cost, cost of land, time taken for approval and
cost of debt all have been on an upward tangent developers have not been able
to lower cost. Thus many developers took to innovative marketing and pricing
strategies to ensure better responses such as in the 20:80 scheme was recently
discontinued following RBI’s recent announcement.”
