At least 1045+ acres across eight deals in 2025 were for mixed-use development, 79+ acres for commercial and data centres, 107 acres for warehousing, 13+ acres for retail, among others.  The year opened with decisive residential and mixed-use acquisitions. In Q1 2025, Macrotech Developers (Lodha Group) bought 20 acres in Bengaluru for about ₹500 crore to develop residential projects, underlining continued faith in the city’s housing demand despite rising land prices.

The second quarter stood out for both scale and geographic diversity. Omaxe made a bold bet outside the top metros, buying 260 acres in Amritsar for ₹560 crore for a mixed-use project—highlighting rising developer interest in tier-2 cities with strong consumption and tourism potential.

 

Meanwhile, Mumbai saw one of the year’s most expensive deals: Goisu Realty acquired 13.02 acres for a staggering ₹2,539 crore for commercial development, reflecting the premium attached to well-located office land in India’s financial capital.
