| Kochi has indeed become the star of Kerala. It has transformed itself into one of the leading cities in the South coming closely behind Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad. Kochi has strong potential and has shown signs of leveraging on this and real estate has followed with large appreciations in value. Kochi represents a strong prospect for real estate investment that will grow well in the next few years. The city itself holds the best prospects but the city is expanding rapidly and taking in nearby areas and these areas are seeing multipliers to their values. Kochi is an old trade city and has been traditionally the point for trade with the middle-east arab states and others including Africa and Europe. Kochi as a port has been the point of exchange for spices of which Kerala is rich in. Kochi also has a large fishing community and this has resulted in a good base for fisheries and agriculture.Kochi has some tourist attractions with some synagogues and churches that have good architecture and date back a few hundred years. Kochi has not had too much industry coming in and setting up due to Kerala's strong labour movement that has put industry through a lot of hardships in the past, but the Real estate Kochi has paved a way for new industries to the land of Arabian sea . Kochi gets in some tourism but it is the trade that goes through Kochi port that has given the city some of its prosperity. The significant factor in the prosperity and growth of the city has been the large inflows of savings that come from the very large workforce from Kerala that is employed in the middle east countries and who send back billions of dollars every year to their homes and as savings into India's banking system. The mindset of Kochi has also to change from being a Kerala city to one that is one of the bustling internationally focussed cosmopolitan cities of India. This appears to be happening and should result in more people from outside investing in Kochi and settling here. When that happens the real estate values will see higher growth. Kochi is a good candidate for real estate investment and a 3-5 year horizon needs to be taken. Kochi being a prominent hub for the real estate market, we have several top notch builders in the state; Jairaj Builders being one of them.
