Why Is Investing In Shop-Cum-Office Plots A Profitable Bet

Author: Anish Maurya

The commercial segment in the real estate market is one of the most profitable and flourishing segments to invest in. If any real estate category has stood the test of time most gracefully during the pandemic period, it is the Shop-cum-Office (SCO) sector. SCOs create an environment where businesses can thrive symbiotically under one roof. These businesses include offices, retail spaces, fine dining, departmental stores, banks, gyms, and health care. The list is endless.

According to 360 realtors, a renowned real estate advisory firm, the SCO segment is set to witness significant investments as it grows at a rate of 30-40% per annum, demonstrating its vast growth potential. The study also highlights that the land appreciation of SCO properties is set to increase by 25% per annum. This translates to doubling capital value in the next four years. Notably, the properties in Delhi-NCR are flourishing at an enormous rate due to the location advantages.

While there are many commercial sectors to invest in, SCOs, in particular, are attracting the most attention. Company owners and investors need a property that can offer them more than just a piece of land. They need enhanced security, privacy, standard amenities, facilities and services that come with mixed-use commercial real estate. As a sub-category of mixed-use space, SCO offers all of this and much more. Its impressive capital appreciation rates and consistent influx of lease rental rates make it a worthwhile investment.

SCOs allow owners to build and fine-tune the plot at their own pace. This unique feature of SCO plots enables investors to make the most of their investment according to their budget, business needs and the rise in demand for more property for expansion. This gives you more control over your expenses, and your business flourishes.

It is a given that the target market of any SCO property is the working class. Thus, investing in SCO, which is located in a growing commercial hub that can accommodate the elite talent pool, is bound to give impressive returns. Gurugram is one such city that can make it happen. This prime commercial destination is brimming with amenities and location advantages. With excellent connectivity to Delhi and other areas of NCR via well-maintained roads and metro networks, Gurugram has become the ideal place for work.
