NAREDCO Champions Affordable Housing Amidst Real Estate Boom

10 Jan 2024 CW Team

Amidst the current surge in the real estate sector, the National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) is taking a proactive stance in advancing the affordable housing agenda. Focusing on sustainable construction practices and labour welfare, NAREDCO aims to balance the real estate boom with inclusive development measures.

As the real estate graph witnesses an upswing, NAREDCO is championing initiatives to ensure that the momentum translates into accessible and affordable housing solutions. The emphasis on affordable housing aligns with broader national goals and addresses the need for housing options that cater to diverse economic segments.

NAREDCO's commitment to sustainable construction practices reflects an awareness of environmental concerns and the long-term impact of real estate development. By integrating eco-friendly approaches, the council seeks to contribute to environmental conservation while meeting the housing demands of a growing population.

The focus on labour welfare is a pivotal aspect of NAREDCO's agenda. Recognising the integral role of the workforce in the construction industry, the council aims to prioritise the well-being and rights of labourers, fostering a more equitable and humane approach to real estate development.

As NAREDCO spearheads these initiatives, it plays a crucial role in shaping the real estate landscape in alignment with national objectives. The emphasis on affordability, sustainability, and labour welfare not only reflects responsible development practices but also positions NAREDCO as a key player in driving inclusive growth in the real estate sector.
