Upcoming projects & infrastructure

- NH 66 widening: Highway improvements north of Edappally are expected to strengthen regional connectivity as sections become operational. Construction and junction works may cause temporary disruption.
- Residential launches: Buyers can expect apartment-led supply, including redevelopment and infill projects, with some premium apartments offering larger layouts and shared amenities.
