In order to maintain their growth over the longer term, these cities will need to focus on future-proofing their markets through improved liveability and affordability, regulatory transparency and physical and technological infrastructure. India has set the pace for making its environment business and investment friendly and most cities have robust plans for accelerated growth in social and physical infrastructure which when implemented will provide the right milieu for long-term growth. Ramesh Nair, CEO and Country Head, JLL India, “The need to take into account a city’s future-proofing capabilities is increasingly recognised by real estate investors, developers and corporations. For investors, it is imperative to comprehend which cities will be able to gain from transformations for long-term value preservation and growth. While Indian cities have performed exceedingly well in the short-term momentum index, it will be a delight to see them become long-term investment destinations in the future. Developers can contribute to a city’s success by understanding its strategies and capacity to support new economic activities, enabling them to produce transformational projects that facilitate creativity, innovation and the sustainable communities that businesses are now demanding. With India’s access to talent, a key consideration for corporate location strategies, businesses are bound to grow in cities that have the attributes necessary to attract and retain skilled workforces.â€� Hyderabad and Bengaluru have been leading India’s prowess in the global IT/ITeS and BPM domain. Bengaluru remains the largest Grade-A office market in terms of leasing activities. Apart from being a major outsourcing location for multinational corporations, Bengaluru is also home to research and development facilities for a growing number of global companies. However, in recent quarters, Hyderabad has picked pace on account of favourable government policies that have had positive impact on the office market in the city. Global brands like Deloitte, Qualcomm and Microsoft, to name a few have established themselves in the market. Another trend seen in the report was the relatively lower positions of Tier-I markets of Delhi and Mumbai, which were at position 8th and 20th respectively. These are stable markets, with great investment and growth potential. Despite concerns on parameters like sustainability, ecological and infrastructural development, etc, these locations, on account of their size, demand and rental and capital values, may be one of the firsts to move towards the long-term investment quadrant in the future. To achieve the same, these markets will have to iron out visible challenges of infrastructure, housing, ecological sustenance, etc. San Francisco, Silicon Valley, New York, London, Boston are among the front runners on the annual survey as top global markets. Tokyo, Sydney, Melbourne, Seoul and Singapore represented the Asia-Pacific region on the global top 30 survey. Interestingly Singapore and Seattle are the only two markets among those surveyed to show growth on both short-term momentum and robust future-proofing potential.
