Who is Buying Luxury Real Estate?

Not only leading high-level executives and businessmen but Bollywood celebrities also prefer buying a plush penthouse or bungalow in Pune for investment purpose. Many rich investors from Delhi, Bangalore and Mumbai choose Pune for luxury property investment due to various factors including, proximity to Mumbai and all year round pleasant weather.

It continues to be one of the best performing realty markets in India. Sales may have slowed down in the last few years but they have managed to remain healthy enough for maintaining the viability of Pune’s real estate sector. This is one of the major reasons why developers continue to launch fresh projects in the city in the affordable as well as luxury segment.

Where to Find Luxury Projects?

Some of the best luxury properties in the city can be found in Koregaon Park, Boat Club Road, Sopan Baug, Kalyani Nagar, Salisbury Park, Prabhat Road, Model Colony, Aundh-Baner corridor and Bhosale Nagar.

In 2013, luxury property rates in the city ranged between 12,000 and 20,000 per sq.ft. Typically, such plush homes start at 3000 square feet and can even go up to 7000 square feet.
