Real estate in Thrissur.

A city with almost every household having one family member working in the Gulf Thrissur’s resident population is waking up to new business avenues. This transition is also leading to a growing demand for commercial and residential property. What has transformed the once sleepy hamlet into a metropolitan zone is the fact that it is no more just the gulf money that is catalytic to the economy. Today Thrissur is growing commercially with tourism and international trade. The IT industry is establishing a sound base here, and the demand for office spaces, hotels and retail outlets is increasing. One of the most densely populated cities in the state of Kerala, Thrissur has seen the real estate prices soaring with the influx of developers from other states chasing too little a land parcel and trying to get a bigger slice of the market pie. With the influx of foreign tourists, it is no wonder that the tiny city has developed an increasing need for real estate development. Gone are the days of crowded apartments lining up the streets. The influx of developers from Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai has led to a fierce competition and the result is increasing thrust on the aesthetics, artistic excellence, high-end amenities and innovation forming an integral part of every residential project.
