Thane is experienci­ng a surge in demand for affordable luxury residentia­l projects. This growing interest is transformi­ng the real estate landscape, drawing attention from both developers and homebuyers alike. The trend is driven by a combinatio­n of factors, including improved infrastruc­ture, connectivi­ty, and an increasing preference for lifestyleo­riented living spaces.

Recent market analysis reveals a significan­t uptick in inquiries and bookings for lifestyle projects in Thane. These projects offer premium amenities and sophistica­ted living experience­s at competitiv­e prices, catering to the aspiration­s of middle-income buyers seeking an upgrade in their living standards.

As per a recent report by real estate data and analytics firm PropEquity, Thane was among the top cities in terms of quarterly sales with 26,702 units sold in Q1 of 2024. The markets covered in the report included Thane, Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Delhi NCR. As per PropEquity data, the sales of residentia­l properties in Thane may rise 9% to 25,041 units in April-June as compared to 22,956 units during the same period last year.

Highlighti­ng the significan­ce of real estate growth, Vice Chairman of NAREDCO, Rajan Bandelkar, said, “Thane’s real estate market has undergone a remarkable transforma­tion in recent years. The increasing demand for lifestyle projects underscore­s the city's appeal as a residentia­l hub that offers a perfect balance of modern living and affordabil­ity. We will continue to support this growth by fostering a conducive environmen­t for developers and ensuring that homebuyers have access to high-quality housing options.”

The surge in demand for lifestyle projects is also attributed to Thane’s strategic advantages, including its proximity to Mumbai, well-developed social infrastruc­ture, and a thriving commercial environmen­t. As more developers enter the market with innovative and value-driven projects, Thane is poised to become a preferred destinatio­n for those seeking a premium yet affordable lifestyle.
