ET Realty Expo is back!

Real estate in India has been changing the skyline of even satellite towns in this 21st century. Besides, the metro cities, smaller towns too have attracted construction activity from big developers. Shopping malls, skyscrapers and new infrastructure is rapidly shaping the destiny of new India.

The real estate boom is a direct result of the return of NRIs, foreign direct investment, multinationals entering every nook and corner of the country to set up base. Whether it is New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Goa, Hyderabad, Pune, or even towns like Cochin, Jaipur, and Udaipur the dynamic developers are paving new paths, and the real estate industry has been seeing major changes.

Over the years, Economic Times Realty Expo, from the Times of India group, has been bringing developers from across India together under one roof. Under the banner of the ET Realty Expo, property buyers are being offered a wide range of residential and commercial properties across India. If you want to buy property in India, whether residential or commercial, ET Realty Expo is the one-stop solution for you.

Previous editions of the ET Realty Expo have proved so popular that many developers are participating again. For instance, Vijay Wadhwa, Chairman, Vijay Associates (Wadhwa Developers), had said during an earlier expo: "Considering the current sentiment of buyers, the exhibition will be crucial in promoting the projects and raising the awareness amongst the buyers. Exhibitions involve a lot of time and money, so it is very essential to pitch it rightly to the right target base and that is what ET Expo does. It is a more focused exhibition.” Pujit Aggarwal, MD and CEO, Orbit Corporation Ltd, had also commented during a previous expo that it was a "very well organised and well managed exhibition", with focused visitors and meaningful enquiries”. This year, Orbit Corporation is coming up with a world-class township at Mandwa, which is a 16-minute boat ride from Gateway of India.

Bringing its premium properties to the table, the Lodha Group is showcasing two of its prime properties in the exhibition. R. Karthik, senior VP, Marketing, Lodha Group says, “Our experience with the ET Realty Expo has been reasonably good in the past. It is a more focussed platform as it comes from a group that has positioned itself well. Also, the venue being a five-star hotel, the quality of customers that walk in are very clear with what they are looking for. It is a great opportunity for the serious buyers looking out for serious investment.”

Elaborating on his projects, he adds, “We are not showcasing our entire range but only two premium properties. On the suburban side we have Lodha Aqua in Dahisar and on the town side we have Lodha Bellissimo at Mahalaxmi.”

Navin Makhija, director, Vijay Associates (Wadhwa Developers) says, “Amongst our residential projects we are displaying Anmol Pride and Prestige, Aquaria Grande, Viceroy Park, Solitaire, Imperial Heights and Palm Beach Residency. The response has always been sales-oriented. The buyer has come back into the market thanks to the government measures to encourage real estate transactions.”

Today’s customers can look forward to cuttingedge spaces, both residential and commercial. As Indian architects bring the best of international practices and design to India, and foreign architects offer their expertise as well, contemporary buildings are being transformed into new-age wonders. These projects are designed both for multinationals, who are increasingly discovering the potential of India, and Indian corporates seeking to mark their place on the global arena. The ET Realty Expo also introduces new projects, involving hospitals, schools, townships and offices.

This year, ET Realty Expo 2009, is back in association with Times Property, on December 4 - 5 and 6 at Hotel Taj Lands End, Bandra. Like every year, this year, too, the ET Realty Expo will bring developers not only from Mumbai, but also from across the country and customers under one roof.

The exhibition is travelling across the country to 11 cities. Don’t miss it!
