There are various reasons that have influenced the property rates in Mumbai for many decades now. When other cities and towns of the country were waking up to the potential of real estate developments on their soil this was a city that had already erected several multistoried constructions and large planned residential and commercial complexes comparable with international standards. The modern availability of facilities that were incorporated within its designs made these quite expensive with the existing standards in the country several decades ago. Also coupled with this aspect were the vantage locations of the developments.
One of the most important reasons that have always influenced the property rates in Mumbai is its economic and industrial development. This city has always been better known as the financial capital of the country for many decades now and have seen the best of economic development and per capita income of the people. There are several advantages that it has been showered with in terms of foreign investment and internal growth of business. Standard and cost of living here has always been an all time high than the rest of the country. This effect has also been seen in the prices of high-rise apartments and houses.
It can be safely added that property rates in Mumbai has also been considerably influenced by the presence of the film industry and a very strong fashion industry. There is a wide range of clientele that fashion designers and companies have enjoyed here which has always encouraged them to do more business here than venture in other cities. This has been sustained sufficiently by the film industry too. There are large scale production of films here making this the largest in the world in terms of production. Huge investments and the presence of nationally famous stars and actors have brought about purchases of large scale properties in different posh and vantage points of the city.
The property rates in Mumbai are also determined by the various regions and localities that are present within it. There are picturesque, scenic and posh locales that are along the seaside or the small hills which mark the geography of the region. It gives rise to some of the most expensive localities that have been known for their habitats for the rich and famous. This has been primarily because of the very elaborate planning or organized constructions that have been made comparable with present international standards and facilitated with some of the best amenities for modern living.
