Shveta Jain, Director - Residential Services, Cushman & Wakefield
says, "Thane has witnessed phenomenal growth. The city has expanded
towards Ghodbunder road which has seen a number of new launches in the
recent past. With commercial office spaces also coming up in the city,
growth prospects look good. The city is expected to grow in the coming
years and is preferred by both investors and end-users alike."
The social infrastructure has seen a great transformation in Thane. A
number of renowned educational institutions, multi-specialty hospitals,
malls and entertainment
zones have come up in the city in the past few years and the number is
expected to grow. Thane has a number of schools and colleges such as St
John High school, Smt Sulochanadevi Singhania High School and many
others .
Lodha World School also has a centre in Thane. Jupiter and
Bethany, both private multispecialty hospitals, are present in Thane.
There are five malls in Thane including the relatively new Korum mall,
which further adds to the overall social infrastructure of the city.
Hiranandani Estate and Hiranandani Meadows have become two full-fledged
township projects in Thane having their own school, hospital and
shopping complexes. The commercial growth, especially from the IT
sector, is also influencing the demand for residential property .
Rustomjee has developed Urbania , an exclusive integrated township with
residential, commercial, retail and entertainment in the same vicinity.
The project spreads across 127 acres. Percy Chowdhry, Director -
Rustomjee Group says, "Home buyers today are buying homes in integrated
townships that offer a meticulously planned environment
which ensures comfort , better infrastructure alongwith essential
ingredients of retail , entertainment and commercial spaces within the
premises.
The modern day home buyer prefers great connectivity to CBDs
and convenience in day-to-day business travel and hence is essentially
choosing large community layout projects that provide a sense of
comfort, security, convenience and above all a sophisticated urban
living experience." Thane is emerging as one of the fastest
developing districts with lots of malls and corporate companies
establishing their business practices in the city.
A Kalpataru
spokesperson says, "Global leaders in IT are vying for space in Thane to
set up their offices and the trend is shifting of offices mainly in IT
and ITes industry to Thane, thus giving rise to concept of 'walk to
work' culture. The presence of Ghodbunder road, located at few meters
from our residential projects, Kalpataru Hills and Siddhachal Elite,
connects the city with central and western suburbs of Mumbai
city. Wide roads, sprawling mega-housing projects, malls and
multiplexes, healthcare centres, lakes and an enviable view of the Yeoor
Hills have added to Thane's USP, making it a preferable destination for
living."
Infrastructure facilities have improved with the
construction of SATIS (Station Area Traffic Improvement Scheme) and
multiple flyovers being constructed over the Ghodbunder road. This has
improved the quality of living in the city. Jain adds, "Thane is well
connected to the eastern suburbs by the eastern express highway and to
the western suburbs by Ghodbunder road. The city also has connectivity
to Navi Mumbai by both trains and roads. With the huge growth in
population, the Thane Municipal Corporation has taken steps to improve
the overall infrastructure. Flyovers on Ghodbunder road will reduce the
overall strain on vehicular movement."
Prakash Shah,
Director - Finance and Business Development, Hiranandani Constructions
says, "Infrastructure in Thane is fantastic . The place has wide roads
facilitating connectivity to the western suburbs in 20 minutes via the
Ghodbunder road.
The place has lots of greenery and many lakes to its
credit. Three new flyovers are under construction, which will connect
the Ghodbunder road to the eastern expressway . The train connectivity
to central line is in place and takes 45 minutes to reach VT station.
Thane is one of the most affordable residential locations that makes it
an ideal place to live and work. Also, a lot of commercial development
is happening in the neighbouring areas like Airoli and Thane itself that
is adding to its changing profile."To know more visit our site http://www.allindiayellowpage.com.
