Bengaluru’s residential real estate market is entering a new phase shaped by infrastructure expansion, changing buyer expectations and the emergence of multi-nodal urban growth patterns.

Demand for compact but intelligently designed homes is also increasing as hybrid work models reshape residential requirements. The trend is prompting developers to focus more on efficient planning, infrastructure-led locations and liveability-driven housing formats rather than purely premium positioning or oversized apartment configurations.Read more

Redevelopment in Mumbai must prioritise neighbourhood character, community identity and liveability alongside density and infrastructure expansion, according to Chintan Sheth, chairman and managing director of Sheth Realty. Using Mulund as a case study, Sheth stated that balanced urban growth depends on integrating redevelopment with local social and environmental conditions rather than pursuing unchecked vertical expansion.
