Visakhapatnam: The11th edition of the Credai Property Expo concluded on Sunday with strong footfall and encouraging buyer sentiment, pointing to renewed momentum in Visakhapatnam’s real estate market.
Over 14,000 visitors, including families, first-time homebuyers, investors and non-resident Indians, attended the three-day event held at the Gadiraju Palace Convention Center on Beach Road. Leading developers from the region showcased a wide range of residential and commercial projects.
More than 850 projects were on display, spanning integrated townships, apartments, gated communities, villas and environmentally sustainable developments. Banks and allied service providers also participated.
