We plan to further invest around INR 250 crore to develop this mixed-use community, taking the valuation of the project, after completion, to be roughly INR 600 crore," said Ajitesh Korupolu, CEO, ASBL. "We are excited about this project for three main reasons. From a company standpoint, this diversifies our presence on all sides of Hyderabad. We are already present in South-West and East, making Kukatpally ASBL's expansion into the North-West of Hyderabad. Secondly, this would be our first venture into commercial real estate. And thirdly, the great connectivity Kukatpally enjoys due to the recently inaugurated flyovers, metro rail, and all other forms of commute, make this land a lucrative investment opportunity," he added.

The top seven cities witnessed a sequential growth of 21 percent in new launches, with 32,863 units during Q3 2021.
Hyderabad saw the highest new launches forming 28 percent of overall new launches during Q3 2021. Home Purchase Affordability Index (JLL HPAI 2021) the city continues to be an affordable market for residential property.
