Real estate boom in India has activated many dormant areas to become super- active. Surajkund is currently going through this phase of activation and is ready to cross the threshold in order to emerge as a real estate destination. This boom is further strengthened by the relaxation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the real estate and construction sector. Additionally, the retail segment has opened the doors for the commercial real estate sector of India. Faridabad is fast becoming the next hot destination for expanding developmental activities. The pace of real estate growth is expected to prosper well as more and more companies are now choosing to opt for Surajkund. The city has become a prominent investment destination due to its proximity to Delhi and also because of the rising values of the real estate in Gurgaon and Noida.
Faridabad has traditionally been an industrial city, with 300 large and 10,000 small scale units and the Haryana Government’s new Industrial Model Township. However, the industrial town of Faridabad is now noticing new residential developments, especially in Surajkund village that spans across 30 acres. Surajkund, already known for its international Mela, is now a residential delight for many. The Surajkund mela was launched in 1981 by the Haryana Tourism and is held in the month of February from 1st-15th every year. This craft Mela (fair) serves as a meeting ground for talented artists, painters, weavers, sculptors and craftsmen from all over India who display handicraft products in the typical setting of a rural Indian market place. The place is visited by number of domestic and International tourists and the foot-falls seems to be multiplying every year.
Green Environment
Away from the hectic and congested life, Surajkund offers an environment like no other place in Delhi. The place displays a sense of peace and traditional touch which is envied by every Delhiite. People are opting for Surajkund for its peaceful natural surroundings. Renowned developers are coming up with township projects in and around localities of Surajkund. The first township project near Surajkund is Charmwood Village by the Eros Group covered in the area of 65 acres. Omaxe, Ansals are also setting up their residential projects.
These attractive townships are sufficient to satisfy the needs of people. Bungalows, apartments and villas are available here with all the modern amenities. The rates of residential properties range between Rs 6,500-Rs 8,000 per sq ft. The rent is around Rs 20,000 for 2 BHK flat and varies on the bases of size and type. Ansal and Crown Plaza have lavishly designed malls catering to children’s entertainment and hospitality, along with other commercial and residential projects. Numbers of other residential projects are in pipeline and soon going to be launched.
Infrastructural developments
Social infrastructure is also developing at the fast pace to support the physical infrastructure in Surajkund. All the national and international based schools and educational institutes have come up in the periphery to benefit the students with a pollution free atmosphere. MNV public school, Delhi Public School and Manav Rachna School are to name a few. Transportation is also improving by and by with Delhi’s bus stand just 1 km from the Surajkund. Local rickshaws and autos are also available for intra-city connectivity.
The property price of Surajkund has increased three times in last couple of years. Planned infrastructure, township projects of big brands, proposed Metro in main Faridabad and rise in the prices of real estate property of other cities, involvement of Haryana government in the overall development of Surajkund make it a good choice for real estate investors.
