Jalandhar's real estate is changing big time, with 30-40% of new property searches focusing on highrise apartments in the growing outskirts. This big shift shows a move away from the old central-area focus. Here's what we see:
Highrises: The New Urban Plan
Projects like Jalandhar Heights and Eldeco's 83-acre township show a shift in demand. Key reasons include:
1. Solving Urban Problems
Central areas face traffic jams, lack of open spaces, and pollution, pushing people towards the outskirts that offer:
- Green living areas: 70-80% open spaces with parks and walking paths
- EV charging stations and modern digital connectivity
- Community amenities: Clubhouses, gyms, and schools within complexes
2. Affordability and Better Lifestyle
Highrise flats in upscale neighborhoods now match traditional plot prices, while providing extra perks:
| Feature | Traditional Plots | Modern Highrises |
|---|---|---|
| Amenities Access | Limited shared facilities | Pool, gym, recreational zones |
| Security | Individual responsibility | 24/7 CCTV surveillance |
| Maintenance Costs | Owner-managed | Society-managed via fees |
Shift in Infrastructure
The outskirts of Jalandhar are seeing planned infrastructure development for new residential hubs:
Growing Commercial Zones
The city's commercial scene is expanding beyond the old areas:
Jalandhar Cantt: Becoming a retail and showroom center Model Town: Offering prime office spaces for corporate tenants Highway Corridors: Mixed-use complexes, both residential and retail, near economic hubs
Rise in NRI Investments
Repatriation-friendly investment options and government incentives have attracted foreign interest, with land prices rising in projects like Shourya NRI City. Developers now focus on:
- Clear transactions -**Verified documents and registry
- Long-term ROI potential
- Legal and tax compliance
In summary, Jalandhar's shift towards corporate living away from traditional areas shows a mature urban strategy focused on sustainability, community living, and economic efficiency. With highrise projects leading the way, the city's future is about balancing growth with infrastructure readiness and environmental awareness.
