Bangalore real estate activities are witnessing a stagnation period. There is identified stock of unoccupied properties in the Whitefield area. The reason gauged is all the IT and IT enabled service companies are heading towards green buildings. Green buildings are the peg of the year as the world is adapting green arena to counter various environmental issues. All builders and developers are bound to adopt green technology to construct their buildings.

The upcoming real estate activities in Bangalore are happening at outer ring road and peripheral areas. Few buildings where the construction has just completed are lying vacant. The Bangalore real estate market is experiencing such vacant unit supply in past couple of months. The reason sought is the increasing demand of green building. The newly constructed Bangalore properties are not meeting green buildings requirements and thus they are not rated as green.

The IT and ITES companies are not occupying this space and as a result the real estate values are stagnating and the property prices are going down with time. In the last quarter demand - supply mismatch was approximately a million sq.ft. (as stated in Cushman & Wakefield report).

The Bangalore Real Estate Builders and property developers are still reluctant in building green homes and using new technology because of their profit margin. Also all the upcoming and current projects are overpriced than the market value.

The Whitefield region in Bangalore, where IT and ITES firms occupy most of the office space, could be delivered another blow when a Bangalore government scheme which provides rebate in tax to the companies located at "technology parks" comes to an end next year.

Most of the companies will head towards Special Economic Zones (SEZ) which is designed as per the green codes and this will further render some Bangalore properties vacant. Thus Bangalore real estate builders have no choice but to start constructing green buildings to save the environment as well as their own business
