Kochi is known as the industrial center of kerala. A lot of NRIs are showing their attention towards Kochi. The City offers grand investment opportunities for real estate and huge number of NRI’s are interested to buy homes in Kochi. One of the major factors of this fast growth is rise in number of IT job opportunities. Along with IT industry, city is also growing with tourism and international trade and hence the demand for office space, hotels, restaurant and retail outlets are growing. An industry observer and a former builder said, “Property development and real estate activities have overshadowed the state’s booming tourism sector. This boom witnessed the emergence of many developers and projects”.
