Times Property Expo a huge draw

AHMEDABAD: The two-day Times Property Expo organised here from Saturday by the real estate developers received an overwhelming response.
Over 3,000 people thronged the exhibition hall at Rajpath Club on the first day of the expo. There were numerous enquiries from people settled in Gujarat from other states about the ongoing and upcoming projects by the real estate developers.
Though the large percentage of participants in the expo was that of local developers, there was also fair representation from national brands like Godrej Properties. The people were particularly keen about the conglomerate's upcoming residential township near Sarkhej-Gandhinagar Highway.
According to a Godrej official, "We have showcased our under-construction projects in Mumbai and Thane in Maharashtra and a residential complex in Bangalore. Interestingly, many enquiries for these properties were made by Gujaratis. However, migrants from other states were keen to know about Godrej's first real estate venture in the state."
Anand Pal Singh, area sales manager with VF Arvind Brands Pvt Ltd, said he was been living in the city for the last three years and at present stayed in a rented accommodation. He said looking at Gujarat's progress, he wants to buy a residential property in the city despite having a house in New Delhi.
Amit Shah, a marketing officer with Punjab National Bank, said there were several enquiries for home loans in the range of Rs 30 to 40 lakh from young professionals working with multi-national companies.
