Development expected
"Development is primarily driven by IT and ITES office spaces, and is followed by residential, retail and hospitality sectors," says Sandeep Trivedi, Associate Director, Consultancy Services, Cushman & Wakefield. The properties located along the major link roads in the south and east - areas that have been classified as Mutation Corridors - are eligible for mixed development and will see some development in the near future. "The IT Corridor is expanded to include entire Whitefield and Electronic City and is eligible for integrated developments, a move which is expected to reduce dependence on other micro markets," he points out.
"Commercialisation is a certainty and Kanakapura Road, Hosur Road and Bannerghatta Road will witness tremendous mixed use development in the coming months," predicts B Praveen Kumar, Vice President, Jones Lang Laselle Meghraj. "Along this mutation corridor anything from software parks and malls to hotels can come up because of the new zonal regulations permitting commercial development on any plot measuring 10 to 15 acres," he points out.
