The year 2025 seems to be a defining year for the Indian realty sector, with increased demand and increasing consumer confidence and preference for upgrade-driven transactions. The growth is well-distributed across residential, commercial, and office sectors, in particular where major infrastructure is seeing economic activity manifests. In the NCR, the Noida-Greater Noida-Yamuna Expressway corridor is progressively being looked at as the next growth driver in the region, with Jewar's Noida International Airport being one of the supporting pillars.
Unlike previous announcements in infrastructure, the Jewar Airport represents a long-term development vision, which will help shape the future of the city. Structured around the concept of building an aviation and logistics ecosystem, this proposed airport could trigger employment in aviation, cargo, logistics, hotels, and related services, which in turn is already making its presence felt in terms of realty demand in Noida, as well as southern Noida.
Housing Demand Changes from Peripheral to Primary
In the residential market, the expected impact of Jewar is expected to be phased, and initial demand is expected to be driven by professionals related to airport operations, logistics, and manufacturing, resulting in higher absorption of planned mid-income housing formats. Eventually, as social infrastructure, retail, and healthcare develop, ownership demand is expected to pick up, particularly in the buyer category, related to value and connectivity.
Reflecting this shift, M3M Noida highlights how infrastructure-led growth is reshaping premium residential demand in the city. “Infrastructure like Jewar doesn’t just expand connectivity; it redefines lifestyle expectations. We are seeing premium buyers increasingly prioritising long-term relevance and access, which is shaping demand for branded, future-ready residential developments in Noida. Responding to this shift, we have launched landmark projects such as Jacob & Co. and Trump Towers in Noida, reflecting the market’s growing appetite for globally benchmarked living,” said, Mr. Yash Garg, Director M3M Noida.
At the same time, demand is clearly moving beyond speculative interest toward genuine end-user ownership. Commenting on this transition, AU Real Estate notes that the corridor is evolving into a primary residential market. “Jewar is changing the perception of southern Noida from a peripheral market to a primary residential choice. What we are seeing is a clear preference for well-connected, efficiently planned homes where infrastructure visibility supports long-term ownership rather than short-term speculation. Responding to this shift, we have strengthened our presence in the region through developments such as Aspire Silicon City and Aspire Leisure Valley in Noida and Greater Noida West, aligned with evolving end-user preferences,” said a Ashish Agarwal, Director, AU Real Estate.
The proposed residential supply by various government agencies such as YEIDA adds further strength to the housing potential of the corridor.
Commercial and Office Markets Increase Structural Complexity
In addition to providing housing, the Jewar region is expected to have an influential role in redefining the commercial real estate market in NCR. The availability of expressway connectivity and accessibility to the airport is enticing businesses to look at decentralized sites, especially involving logistics companies, aviation services, global capability centers, and corporate back offices.
Instead of setting up a conventional Central Business District, the corridor will develop into an integrated commercial hub with a mix of office space, retail, and lifestyle offerings. This development marks a natural progression for the commercial landscape of Noida according to Trehan Iris, who have an enviable track record in mixed-use projects.
Abhishek Trehan, Executive Director, Trehan Iris, said, “The commencement of operations at Jewar Airport marks a transformative moment for NCR’s southern corridor, one that will redefine the region’s economic and urban landscape. The Yamuna Expressway stretch, which has already witnessed a 40-50% appreciation in land values over the past two years, stands at the cusp of accelerated growth. With the first phase of the airport set to handle 12 million passengers annually and its full capacity projected to reach 70 million, the ripple effect on real estate, infrastructure, and employment will be extraordinary. At Trehan Iris, we view this as a catalyst for a new era of connectivity-led urbanization where enhanced accessibility will translate into sustainable growth, modern infrastructure, and vibrant, self-contained ecosystems.”
Retail on high streets, food and beverage hubs, and convenience-led formats are also likely to enjoy steady demand, especially around interchanges and points of accessibility where the foot traffic is higher.
Connectivity-Driven Re-Rating of Micro
One of the major strengths of Jewar has been connectivity through the expressway. The Yamuna Expressway, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and the upcoming metro connectivity are reducing the commute times and altering the sentiments of buyers as well as investors. Not surprisingly, location itself has started being measured in terms of ease of accessibility.
It is also expected that micro-markets with immediate connectivity to the expressway and feeder routes will re-rate relatively quickly due to the improved leasing prospects and commercial exposure. Over the years, these micro-markets will become sustainable and well-developed urban areas with residential, commercial, and social infrastructure growing pari passu.
Enhancing the Long-Term Investment
The confidence level among investors for the Jewar corridor is continuously increasing with the increased visibility of infrastructure development. Land prices have already shown significant appreciation during the past years, with factors including connectivity with the expressways, industrial activities, and the development plans for the airport. The important point is that the investment case is experiencing development along with the intent.
There is a trend of capital flowing towards organized developers who have a good delivery track record and are transparent in their governance structure in a matured market, which is a move away from opportunistic developers. A New Growth Core for NCR In sum, the Jewar airport project in Noida is set to reshape the real estate landscape of NCR by introducing a new growth node in the Noida-Greater Noida-Yamuna Expressway zone. With the expansion of the airport in phases, there are going to be potential jobs generated in the airline, logistics, service, and commercial sectors. This, in turn, will stimulate residential and commercial absorption. Jewar airport is going to witness more passenger traffic in the wake of increased flight travel in India. This development in turn propels the Jewar airport zone to become more functional, attractive, and serviced for residential, commercial, office space, and hospitality development.
