Many Noida-based developers are buying licensed land in Gurgaon not from villagers, but directly from the ‘secondary’ market as part of their expansion strategy.
ATS Group is launching its mid-segment projects in sectors 104 (14 acres) and 109 (10 acres) in the next three months. The group has purchased land from the open market. The 14-acre plot was bought for R150 crore. HDFC Portfolio Management Services has partly financed the purchase. Geetamber Anand, vice-president, CREDAI and CMD of ATS Group, confirmed the projects.
Paras Buildtech has acquired 7 acres from M3M Developers in Sector 70 A. M3M Developers has sold a part of the 28 acres that it had bought from DLF for Rs. 440 crore earlier this year to Paras Buildtech.
Harinder Nagar, promoter of Paras Buildtech, said buying licensed land in Gurgaon is an easier and faster process for developers new to the Gurgaon market. The group plans to construct high-end apartments worth over Rs. 1 crore in Sector 70 A. The project will be launched in May. It will be self-financed.
