Nashik’s real estate sector took centre stage this week as industry leaders, policymakers and urban experts gathered for the CREDAI Nashik Metro Real Estate Awards 2025, an event that underscored the growing role of responsible development in shaping the city’s urban future. The ceremony highlighted how customer-centric housing delivery and transparent practices are increasingly becoming central to sustainable city-building.
Speaking at the event, a senior industry leader noted that developers who prioritise end-users and long-term urban value are no longer just constructing buildings but actively contributing to economic resilience, employment generation and inclusive urban growth. Such approaches, the leader added, are critical as Indian cities face rising housing demand alongside climate and infrastructure pressures. Organised by CREDAI Nashik Metro, the awards aimed to recognise excellence across residential, commercial and allied real estate segments while reinforcing accountability within the sector. Organisers emphasised that Nashik’s rapid transformation into a regional economic hub has been closely linked to planned real estate development, improved infrastructure and stronger regulatory oversight.
To ensure credibility and transparency, the evaluation process was conducted by an independent professional agency specialising in data-led assessments. According to organisers, projects were judged on multiple parameters including quality, compliance, customer satisfaction, financial discipline and contribution to the urban ecosystem. An experienced jury panel comprising regulatory experts, architects, banking professionals and senior business journalists reviewed submissions across categories. Urban planners and sector analysts present at the event highlighted that developers today operate within a far more complex environment than a decade ago. Regulatory reforms, sustainability benchmarks and homebuyer awareness have reshaped expectations. As a result, real estate firms are being pushed to adopt greener construction practices, efficient resource use and inclusive design that supports diverse community needs.
The ceremony also paid tribute to long-standing contributors to Nashik’s real estate journey. A Lifetime Achievement Award was conferred posthumously on a former industry leader recognised for decades of service to organised real estate and institutional capacity-building in the region. Speakers noted that such leadership helped professionalise the sector and laid the foundation for today’s more transparent market environment. Beyond individual recognition, the event reflected a broader shift in how urban development is perceived. Real estate is increasingly seen as a key enabler of sustainable cities—supporting walkable neighbourhoods, efficient land use and housing accessibility. Industry representatives reiterated that collaboration between developers, regulators and financial institutions will be essential to align growth with environmental and social priorities.
As Nashik continues to expand, stakeholders agreed that future-ready development must balance scale with sensitivity—ensuring that growth remains inclusive, resilient and aligned with long-term urban wellbeing.
