Here's Why Investing In Ahmedabad's SG Highway Is A Wise Proposition
Sarkhej–Gandhinagar Highway (SG Highway) is an upcoming real estate hub attracting interest of many investors as it is one of the key thoroughfares in the state that connects Ahmedabad with Gujarat's state capital Gandhinagar. The city is the industrial hub of Gujarat attracting a large working population from all over the state, thus, posing a demand for apartments here. This rise in demand has led to a boost in the number of newly launched apartments on SG Highway and also, in home sales.
