Hyderabad is enjoying an impressive infrastructural and commercial growth. The recent Amazon campus opened in Hyderabad is the largest campus globally outside Seattle. It is spread over a vast 9.5 acres of land and comprises 3 million square feet of built up area. In an office space that expands over 1.8 million sq ft, it can seat 15,000 employees and will create indirect job opportunities for thousands of people. With such a huge job opening and opportunity, Hyderabad is now home to one-third of the total Amazon employee base across India. Besides, the real estate scenario in Hyderabad is slated to see a major evolution in both price and demand.
The newest Amazon office space is located at Nanakramguda in Financial District, Gachibowli. The many existing MNCs had already contributed to a growth in the real estate market in Gachibowli and the areas surrounding it. However, with the advent of Amazon office, the real estate market is expected to see a major boost in terms of both cost and demand.
How Amazon might affect the Gachibowli real estate market

The million workforce increased the demand of housing sectors and this prompted a rapid residential real estate development over the years in Gachibowli and its neighbouring areas like Financial District, Nanakramguda, Kokapet, Gopanpally, Tellapur, Nallagandla, Raidurg, Narsingi to Manikonda.
The property prices in Gachibowli and its surrounding areas are at its all-time peak and the inauguration of the world-class Amazon office will only add to it. The residential property rate in Hyderabad has increased to an average of 1.2 crore in the last two years and with the recent surge in investments on infrastructure, property prices continue to rise incessantly. The prices have appreciated by 7% over the last couple of years.
Any new infrastructural development or a new office has had a profound impact on property price and the future real estate trend. Gachibowli is no different. When Hyderabad started attracting IT investments, Hitech city was chosen as the major IT hub. But with more companies preferring Hyderabad for establishment and employment, the next IT park was formed in Gachibowli with large campus buildings of multinational companies, and service provider companies catering to International Banking, Insurance, Trading, Financial Back office operations, Commodity Exchanges, Venture Capital and Asset Management Companies. Since Hitech City has reached its prime, Gachibowli and Financial District is identified as one of the popular IT-ITeS and BFSI hubs of Hyderabad.

It can be thus predicted undoubtedly that some of the most eminent builders are planning on investing and developing residential sectors around Gachibowli and Nanakramguda.
