Developers are actively expanding their footprint, launching large-scale projects, and recent land transactions underscore their confidence in the region’s growth potential. The combination of connectivity augmentation and upcoming commercial developments is anticipated to create a dynamic environment conducive to real estate growth across various asset classes.”
