1. After almost eight quarters of slow movement of inventory
in Mumbai, marginal improvement was witnessed in
select micro markets at introductory level. Both, end-
users and investors shy away from high valued
apartments, but they continue to show interest in mid-
range and affordable housing projects located in western
suburbs and peripheral areas of Mumbai. This demand
was also driven by various promotional schemes by
developers like waiver of stamp duty & registration fee,
attractive financial plans, freebies, part payment scheme
like pay part down payment now and the rest on
possession etc. in order to revive the demand.
Despite revived interest among buyers, 1Q 2015
witnessed fewer new project launches as compared to
last quarter. This is expected to dip further as developers
are holding back their new launch decisions in view of
further clarification on the new development plan. Some
of the projects launched in the premium segment include,
“Oberoi Eternia” by Oberoi Realty at Mulund, “AltaVista”
by Spenta Corporation at Chembur.

2. , “Kanakia Paris” by Kanakia Spaces at BKC, “K Hemani”
by Hemani Group at Kandivali (E) and “Runwal Bliss” by
Runwal Group at Kanjurmarg (E). These projects were
priced in the range of INR10,500 – 23,500 per sq ft.
There is a substantial decline in completion of premium
projects across Mumbai. The project completed this
quarter was “Ahuja Tower” by Ahuja Construction at
Prabhadevi, This project is priced at INR 52,000 per sq ft
in secondary market.
Despite of low demand the capital values in the
secondary market, in south central and central suburbs
increased marginally in the range of 1 – 3% QoQ.
However, in the western suburbs, capital values
increased in the range of 3 – 8% QoQ. Rents across the
city were remained stable, except in the western suburb
where rents marginally up in the range of 2 – 3% QoQ.
Colliers View
The city had witnessed cautious optimism, which is
expected to unlock the pent up demand over the next
few quarters and more precisely, around the festive
season of Ganesh Chaturthi and Diwali. In short term
we anticipate less project launches due to uncertainty
over development plan which may have different
guidelines for open space regulations, height restriction
of buildings and general utilisation of space etc.
