Brokers Evolve into Developers as Realty Markets Temperature Rises

Simmering quietly for long, the realty market is showing signs of steam and this has egged on several real estate brokers to evolve into developers. Brokers can be expected to succeed since they have had years of experience understanding tricks of the trade from the developers’ perspective while knowing all about customer experiences from dealing with buyers.

Most such brokers are startingwith small projects in cities like Bangalore and Mumbai, locating projects in low cost locations. These brokers are also exploring other avenues such as partnerships with landlords and developers.

Silverline Realty in Bangalore has implemented five residential projects in the city, a departure from its brokering business. Prashanth Sambargi, a partner at Mars Realty is now implementing small construction projects. In Bangalore alone over 13700 housing units were sold in the first quarter of this year. The figures for Mumbai and NCR are 15500 and 26700, indicating a healthy boom and if brokers time it right, they are the builders of tomorrow. Deepak Kohli of Deep Realtors who has gone this route is being careful about delivering on time.


This new class of enterpreneurs knows all the ropes, has a ready market and access to inputs as well as service providers.

Commerce Ministry Findings Show Developers Do Not Set Up SEZs

Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Karnataka are the states with the maximum number of operational SEZs. A recent finding by the Commerce Ministry shows that developers across India allotted land on preferential basis for setting up of SEZs fail to do so in a majority of the cases and hold on to the land simply with a profit motive.


The dichotomy between State and Centre policies tends to discourage builders from development work. While they receive concessions from the Centre, the states are not so obliging. There is no political mileage for governments in developing or promoting SEZs. There is a framework to take action for delay in starting work but the fact cannot be denied that SEZs are not actually mushrooming all over the place as expected. In fact, some builders are even surrendering land or asking for extensions. 

Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation, Enfield Exports, Raheja SEZ, Posco India are those who have sought extension. Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation has applied to surrender its project. Government apathy is an obvious reason with general slowdown and lukewarm interest from real estate developers being the others. Apparently, SEZs in India have a covert thumbs down, in marked contrast to the tremendous growth in China

Happenings in Vizag: VUDA to Listen to Land Owners for a Change

In an effort to please aggrieved landowners andfarmers who pooled land in theVisakhapatnam Urban Development Authority at Paradesipalem, Dr N Yuvaraj, vice-chairman announced a meeting to address their complaints. The Board will also reiview cases asking for withdrawal from the project and return of lands. Allottees who received alternate pieces of land in lieu of the ones they handed over to VUDA, will also receive registration of such plots.


Long in the backwaters of real estate development, Visakhapatnam is coming into its own and realtors see brisk business. Most of them are developing land at a distance from the city where realty prices are going through the roof. In the city land costs start at Rs. 50000 per square yard whereas on the highways the cost is a more afforable Rs. 3000 but with tremendous demand, the prices should escalate even more. Understandably, landowners who have entered into an agreement with VUDA may be eyeing more prices and some would be justified in withdrawing from the scheme. 

Amritsar Bhatinda National Highway Project to Start Rolling

The Public Works Department of Punjab has set the Amritsar-Bathinda National Highway widening project rolling with submission of paperwork to acquire land along with 175 km stretch of the highway that touches Verka, Kotkapura, Jida, Jalandhar,Moga and Khanur. Simultaneously, Central government clearances are also in process. The project cost is Rs. 1900 crores and involves widening of the road, which involves acquisition of adjoining land. It will also boost the real estate prices in the area. 

Bypasses will come up at Nehurashara Pannua, Talwandi, Kotkapura and Zira Harik. Along with bypasses, the project also envisages flyovers and railway overbridges that will in effect convert the highway into an expressway and do away with traffic bottlenecks. With tenders to be issued  by September, the first stretch of Jalandhar-Moga-Khanura should be completed by the end of 2013.

Against the usual practice of allocating the work to the National Highway Authority of India, the Punjab PWD has been given the task of widening this highway. To help contractors the department will assist with raw material and inputs by way of short term mining permits.
