Top 8 Cities See 68 Land Deals for 1,656+ Acres in 9 months of 2022 that is between January 2022 to September 2022.

Land, the most precious finite resource amid rapid urbanization, has been seeing increased action after the pandemic. Latest ANAROCK Research indicates that the top 8 cities closed at least 68 separate land deals accounting for 1,656 acres in the first nine months of 2022. In the corresponding period last year, just 20 land deals for 925 acres were closed across these cities.

With some of the larger deals, there is still ambiguity about the type of development that will take place there. For most other deals, developers and entities have already zeroed in on development purpose:

  • Of 68 land deals closed in 2022 (Jan-Sept.), nearly 40 deals 590+ acres are proposed for residential development
  • Over 147 acres in 4 separate deals are earmarked for industrial & logistics parks and warehousing
  • 4 deals for over 119 acres are for data centres
  • 5 separate land deals for over 115 acres are for mixed-use development 
  • Approx. 26 acres in 4 separate deals are for commercial development
  • Approx. 11 deals for over 659 acres are for miscellaneous purposes including retail and BPO and development; development purpose for a large portion of these deals is undecided
