Investment Opportunities in Indian Real Estate Market at Cityscape India

Bombay Exhibition Centre Goregaon, Mumbai 8 - 10 December 2008 FREE VISITOR REGISTER VIP VISITOR REGISTER Following on from the phenomenal success of Cityscape Dubai 2008 which attracted over 85,000 global real estate professionals, comes Cityscape India! One of the most talked about markets at the event, in spite of the global economic downturn, was India which with its enormous demand for residential, commercial, hospitality, industrial, retail and infrastructure development and expertise offers outstanding return on investment for global real estate investors and developers. No wonder considering the following statistics: ü Shortage of 22.4 million residential units : Over the next 10 – 15 years, 80 to 90 million housing unites will have to be constructed with a majority catering to middle to lower income groups. An estimated US$25 billion investment will be required over the next 5 years in urban housing alone ü IT and ITES sector is estimated to require 150 million sq ft of office space across urban India by 2010 with a domino effect on residential space since every sq ft of office space developed requires around 10 sq ft of residential space ü Organised retail industry is likely to require an additional 220 million sq ft by 2010 with growth seen in nearly all tier I and tier II cities ü Hospitality industry continues to grow where by 2010 India will see an estimated 10 million foreign visitors and thereby a demand for approximately 100,000 rooms ü Construction in India sees an average of 18%, double the profitability for a construction project undertaken in the US. So how can you capitalize on these opportunities? Cityscape India, a three day networking exhibition and conference, will be a showcase for outstanding opportunities not only in the Indian real estate market but also globally providing participants with the opportunity to: Access unbiased information on the Indian real estate market including new for 2008 infrastructure development and finance Network with Indian-based and international real estate investors, developers, architects, consultants, government authorities and much more Create profitable joint ventures Discover the latest architectural designs including green initiatives and developments Source information from India's leading consultants for market research and analysis There are a number of ways in which you can participate in Cityscape India: Exhibit: With 8 weeks left, exhibition space and sponsorship packages are now extremely limited.
