2.(iii) NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY AND OR
REGION
Real estate is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Indian economy and
contributes about 5% to India's gross domestic product (GDP).
The country's economic growth is driving the demand for real estate in India.
Demand for commercial and residential space is expected to grow at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19% between 2010 and 2014 - Tier 1
metropolitan cities are expected to account for about 40% of this. The top three cities
- Mumbai, the NCR and Bengaluru account for 46% of total office space demand in
India.
Indian real estate sector is the fourth largest sector in terms of foreign direct
investment (FDI) in the country.
Growing requirements of space from sectors such as education and healthcare
provide opportunities in the real estate sector. Growth in the number of tourists has
resulted in a demand for multi branded retail showrooms / serviced apartments /
tourist facilities etc.
With some big national players holding land in Kerala, commercial and residential
property prices are also shooting up. Marin Drive, Kochi, the prime location in the
Kochi City that have emerged as the hottest in terms of both demand and value. A
multitude of residential / commercial / office space projects are already on the
development track in the places.
All such developments have brought wonders to the prospects of real estate in
Kerala and its economy has been growing resulting in making high killings.
Investors are also eyeing the plots near Kochi in Kerala. Located in the proximity to
railway station, beach, and other important places.
The upcoming office spaces / shopping complexes / commercial establishments /
apartments in Kerala will feature an array of amenities including covered exclusive
parking, landscaped garden, health club, high-speed lifts, and swimming pool. Apart
from this, the focus is also concentrated on the quality construction. The new building
constructions are built using the best available raw materials and most of them have
a modular kitchen, granite flooring and decent bathroom accessories.
The arrival of event management companies and booming industrial sectors of
Kerala have played a pivotal role in changing the commercial real estate scenario of
the state, which is on a constant rise.
Investments in Kerala real estate promise high returns in the wake of upcoming
constructions. Kerala, emerging as one of the progressive states thus beckons the
prospective investors from all walks of life.
The mixed use development activities in the building construction sector bring about
gains in gross domestic product, i.e. there is though a minor contribution by the
proposed project but will add to gains in G.D.P. (Gross Domestic Product). A total of
25,565 Persons will be employed in the proposed project after full occupancy during
operation phase. It will create employment (though marginally) for local population.
Applicant will pay taxes / duties to Govt. of Kerala, direct and indirect taxes will be paid
thereby contributing to the Regional Revenue. The public revenue will further be put for
infrastructural development and other sectors like health, education and social welfare.

The land for the proposed project is an extension of the Marine Drive behind the
High Court of Kerala. The land was fully developed by the Cochin Port Trust under
Goshree Island Development Authority (GIDA) scheme. The project proponent
purchased the land through auction from GIDA.
The proposed development is in plot area of 4.7632 ha. with total built-up area of
2,94,929.63 sq.m.
Since the built-up area of the project is more than 1,50,000 sq.m. and hence

About 3-4 mini buses for transportation of workers and about 10-15 four wheelers of
senior staff and contractors, visitors, suppliers and about 20-25 two wheelers is
expected.
Thus, the impact due to movement of trucks will be marginal and well within the
carrying capacity of the roads. The expected quantity of raw materials required for
building construction is given below :-
The construction materials would be brought from local suppliers available in the
area. Tippers/ trucks will be used for transportation of the same with average daily
consumption.
Operation phase :-
It is proposed to construct roof rain water storage tanks with total capacity of
8,680 KL within the site which will be use concurrent use as source of water and also
stored it for meeting the water requirement during non-rainy days, thereby conserve
the fresh water.
The sewage generated at site will be treated and recycled within the site for meeting
the water requirement of flushing purposes, gardening purposes and make-up water
requirement for cooling towers attached with the HVAC system and incase of any
excess treated sewage from STP will be discharged as per the KSPCB norms to the
Corporation drain.

matter and plant nutrients. The major crops grown are coconut, tapioca, rubber,
areacanut, pepper, cashew and spices. Small patches of hydromorphic saline soil
are encountered in the coastal tracts of the district in Kanayannur and Cochin taluk.
The tidal backwaters contribute to the salinity of the soil. Coconut is grown in these
soils. Brown hydromorphic soil is the second most prevalent soil type of the district
and they are encountered in valley bottoms. The soil is enriched in clay content and
plant nutrients. The soil is suited for paddy cultivation. Riverine alluvium is restricted
to the banks of rivers and their tributaries. They are composed of sandy to clayey
loam and are enriched in plant nutrients. It is suited for a large variety of crops like
coconut, paddy arecanut, pepper, vegetables etc. In Cochin taluk and the western
parts of Paravur and Aluva taluk coastal alluvium is encountered and is composed of
sand and clay. Coconut is the major crop in these soils.
