Tracking The Price Trend At Soon-To-Be Smart City Ghitorni

It would not be long before property prices in Ghitorni, an area in south Delhi lying close to the Gurgaon border, start moving upwards. According to a media report, in the works is a plan to develop 240 acres of land at Ghitorni with smart city features. This land belonging to the Central Public Works Department which has been lying vacant since 1971 would be jointly developed with state-run National Buildings Construction Corporation (NBCC). The development work would be carried out on a self-finance basis and is estimated to involve as much as Rs 15,000 crore. According to media reports, the CPWD will construct 6,500 residential units for government staff and office space for state-run companies. Additionally, the NBCC would develop 500 residences and commercial space for private parties. If the plan receives an approval by the Union Urban Development Ministry, Ghitorni will host a smart city in five years that will flaunt a water and waste management system, a rain-water-harvesting system, a surveillance system, solar energy, smart metering, and Wi-Fi connectivity.

It is worth mentioning here that Ghitorni lies between the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and is already served by a Metro station of the same name. The connectivity this locality enjoys is a major reason why Ghitorni is considered a prime real estate market. Things are just going to get better in future.
