Bengaluru and Hyderabad should be Asia’s fastest and third fastest-growing cities, respectively, over 2022-24. While Bengaluru has always been the blue-eyed boy of CRE, Hyderabad has shown a tremendous amount of potential and has grown by leaps and bounds, especially in the last decade.

The state aims at making multiple integrated projects across the city to keep improving its real estate momentum. In the past few years, technology giants like Apple, Google, Facebook, and Amazon have entered this market resulting in tremendous economic development.”

Although vacancy levels showcased an upward trend last quarter, we do not expect a further increase in the vacancy number by end of 2021 given most of the new upcoming supply being is pre-committed.”
