In Thane's case, it is simply the 'lifestyle'. Starting out as a typical middle class residential destination on Mumbai's outskirts, with stand-alone 'plain vanilla' buildings, it witnessed change with improved infrastructure and new projects that offered lifestyle-plus homes. This change is also reflected in the new resident profile, which reflects a new, vibrant Thane. What makes Thane an ideal location to buy a home? It begins with a combination: latest amenities, world-class facilities, a wide choice across different projects in locations and some of the most 'value for money' homes. As a result, Thane's property rate graph has been moving northwards since mid2009, and the capital values are estimated by Theme Realty Services to be up by almost 25 – 30 per cent. Buyers show higher interest Going by records across the past three quarters, there has been a gradual increase in number of homes bought in Thane. Apart from the normal buying trends, pent-up demand for a segment of residences, which was seen to be on hold due to the previous market conditions, has also started opening up. Fence sitters turn buyers A potential buyer, who has his finances worked out, has selected a project – but does not go ahead and actually 'buy' is termed a 'fence sitter'. Apart from the normal buyers, Thane has also seen a large quantum of 'fence sitters' across the past three quarters, and going into the first quarter of fiscal 2010-11, the 'fence sitters' are moving into being actual buyers. They seem to have gained confidence to put money into real estate, especially given the improving market conditions. Home loans A crucial role in stabilising sales has been played by home loans. Various schemes have been introduced by banks and financial institutions across the past few months, which have attracted home buyers. Product Mix Theme Realty Services finds that developers are coming up with 3 / 4 & even 5 BHK flats, while major demand is still registered for 1 / 1.5 & 2 BHK flats. The last three quarters have seen major demand for middle income projects, which have been selling like hot cakes. From budget to premium realty From a country-cousin of Mumbai to a self–sufficient, fullfledged global city, Thane has indeed, come a long way. With better infrastructure and connectivity, Thane has now matured into a location where one could think of high-end luxury apartments with world class specification and amenities. Key central suburb With infrastructure developments happening at rapid pace, Thane has now become a key central suburb. Thane is an ideal alternative for people to come and live in since it has a city like cosmopolitan feel to it. Thane's huge underdeveloped land and scenic beauty has not missed the attention of home seekers. Huge potential The Ghodbunder Road locale has huge potential for real estate development. Not only does it link Mumbai and Thane, the area provides excellent opportunity to construct residential complexes at economical rates. Besides, it is covered with lush greenery and natural beauty and hence, also offers scope for construction of bungalow plots and luxury homes preferred by higher middle class and upper strata of society. Thane has certainly become a matured destination with a very strong social infrastructure, tradition, culture and heritage. Price Point The most important factor for this is the price point, given that Thane is still dominated by Middle Income Groups when it comes to majority of end users in the market, barring a few pockets like Hiranandani Estates, Hiranandani Meadows and Siddhachal, which are perceived to be a base for Upper Middle class / Business class buyers. Scripting a success story, the Infrastructure way If one were to ask for one word that defines the changed Thane from days of old, it would have to be 'infrastructure'. And, if one were to ask for the one thing that will re-define Thane in the future, here too the answer is the same. From better roads and flyovers to multi-modal connectivity that links rail and road through the monorail, from basic issues like water and sewage to life-style enhancements, Thane's success story is truly scripted through infrastructure development The 'City Of Lakes' is now well and truly a residential hub which has great infrastructure with excellent connectivity to all parts of Mumbai and its peripheral areas. From a home seeker's perspective, Thane is an ideal residential destination, given great rail and road connectivity to South Mumbai, Central Suburbs, Navi Mumbai as well as the Kalyan-Dombivli belt. Even the western suburbs can be quickly accessed by road. Families that grow Thane has also attracted a large number of young-aged buyers for its connectivity. After all, while they desire their independence, there is also a need to quickly reach the house of both sets of parents, which makes Thane an ideal location. Value-for-money residential destination Thane has a well-established image as a value-for-money residential destination and it is this segment of buyers that continues to fuel the demand for homes there. At the same time, luxurious bungalow projects and large apartments have also found takers. Second Homes Monorail Network Thane – the district, not just the city - has witnessed a growing segment of buyers comprising those seeking second homes that are not too far from Mumbai. After putting in long weekdays at the office, there is a desire to get away from the hustle-bustle of the city and spend the weekend amidst tranquillity and greenery. A Monorail Network covering 42 km has been proposed in three phases. In the first phase, the connectivity would be between Balkum and Kolshet via Naupada. It will be 16.05 km long with 14.65 km elevated, and only 1.4 km on the surface, and 11 stations in all. Since work pressures make it difficult to take a long break, most people have begun to prefer second homes that are a short distance away from the city, involving a drive of just a few hours. It is this segment that is said to be driving the demand higher end projects in Thane to a major extent. Looking for an upgrade The segment of people who are looking at Thane for an 'upgrade' is also on the rise. Their basic criteria are a place with large spaces, surrounded by lush foliage, with a peaceful ambience. Thane has a wide array of options ranging from one-bedroom flats to penthouses. This again makes it a favourite place for joint families, as there is scope for family members to buy an independent house close by once they get married. Across Thane, while there are 'preferred locations', a number of peripheral locations are also witnessing extensive development and large township projects. Rail hub Thane has good connectivity to the neighbouring areas through the Central Railway network. Thane has gained more importance in terms of railway connectivity to Navi Mumbai due to the Thane-Vashi and Thane -Panvel local train line. This year, fast trains have also started between Thane and Panvel. Almost all trains going to Konkan Railway from Mumbai halt at Thane. SATIS The Station Area Traffic Improvement Scheme (SATIS) project at Thane railway station is already functional, with the two flyovers on either side of the station having opened up for public use. This mega project is perhaps, one of the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC)'s biggest dreams and with this dream slowly becoming a reality, life will become even easier for Thaneites. City of choice From a time when it was seen as Mumbai's 'sister city', Thane has emerged to be a global standard residential destination, a city of choice, thanks to infrastructure – and this has played a major role in the appreciation in values of premium segment homes. Industry pundits say they would not be surprised to see the prices moving upwards - homes costing above Rs 10,000 per sq ft would not be just in Old Thane, this might become an integral part of Thane's residential real estate scene, as we go into 2010. New launches during Thane Property 2010 Jitendra Mehta of Thane MCHI mentions the new projects which are in the pipeline, all set for what the 'grand launch' at the Thane MCHI Property 2010 exhibition. Given Thane's infrastructure and the way its grown, for home seekers, it might just be the best possible option. The new launches at THANE PROPERTY 2010 could turn out to be among the best options, given that Thane offers a clean, green environment in a 'value for money' range of options. Given the sort of new project offerings open for bookings during the Thane MCHI Property 2010, it should be obvious that families will find their dream premium homes becoming a reality in Thane. Premium @ Ghodbunder Road Over the years, Thane has matured as a preferred high-profile residential destination. The choices available in projects and Real Estate brands a buyer can find in Thane are much more than other upcoming Cities. With the existing and the planned infrastructure on the Eastern Express Highway and Ghodbunder Road one can easily connect to all the parts of Mumbai and Suburban Mumbai. Major developments in the HIG segment like the Hiranadani Meadows & Estates, projects by the Sheth Group, Rustomjee's Urbania, projects by Lodha, Dosti Group, Vijay Group and the Rosa Group will definitely please the high-profile segment buyer, looking for nature along with luxury. Looking at the pace at which the developments are taking place, Ghodbunder Road, very soon, will be the preferred choice - even for the high-profile segment.
