Similarly capital values of property have seen close to 15% to 20% price appreciation per annum. Certain localities like Dona Paula and Calangute have seen close to a 50 % price appreciation. This has created a stronghold for the resale property market in the state. The key reasons for more investments happening in the northern territory of Goa are because of the excellent tourism and commercial activities taking place there. North Goa is a diverse investment destination because of the lifestyle value it holds for many home buyers. 2

14 INFRASTRUCTURAL TRIGGERS While social infrastructure and the aspiration to move away from the city s congestion will continue to drive development and increase in Real Estate rates in the Kadamba Plateau, here are some of the most important triggers: THE IT PROJECT AT CHIMBEL Originally announced in Dona Paula, the government recently decided to relocate the IT Project to Kadamba Plateau within the precincts of Chimbel Village owing to a previous poor response. Announced over 4.5L square metres of government land, the project along with a new in-theworks electronic city on 6.5L square metres in Pernem is set to employ 10,000 people. PATTO This being developed as a commercial hub along with Cujira as an education centre, and the decision to shift central and state government residences to Porvorim has fuelled growth around Panjim bringing these areas within the city fold. NH4A The four lane bypass corridor that connects Panjim to Old Goa runs via Kadamba Plateau, and has a massive influence on the urbanization roadmap, even putting Kadamba Plateau in the list of smart cities to be considered. HILTON HOTEL AND HEALTHWAYS HOSPITAL The proposed Hilton Hotel has begun construction nearby lending credence to the region s socially upmarket location. A new 230 bed private hospital has come up in the area as well and will be one of Goa s largest multi speciality hospitals. The FAR (Floor to Area) Ratio at Kadamba Plateau is only 0.8 meaning that constructed areas cover a lot less of the total project area, hence providing larger green cover and play areas. Eventually, the outgrowths of Panjim will develop as one urban entity, all a part of a single agglomeration with Panjim in the centre.

17 CONCLUSION It is important to keep the future in mind when we look at the current Real Estate climate in Goa. Although relatively unorganised, the Goan market still possesses the promise of good returns, and has now seen bigger players enter the market. A seemingly unending tourist attraction, the new upcoming Airport at Mopa combined with large areas of untouched development bode well for the future of both the Real Estate and the Retail industry. A base population of 15 Lakh is amplified during the tourist season and an investment in commercial or residential real estate could be very lucrative. The restricted allotment of residential land has driven up property rates that are mostly concentrated in and around Panjim. We recommend an investment further away from the cities that while still affordable, will see a higher percentage of asset appreciation. Goa s brand value is set to rise, and a look at any international hot spot will tell you an asset there could prove to be a home run. 14
