The Mohali transformation
Mohali has gone through a genuine transformation over the past decade, and it happened in a particular order — first the institutions, then the infrastructure, then the residential demand. ISB Mohali, IISER, PCA Stadium, Fortis Hospital, and Chandigarh International Airport created a concentration of professional activity in SAS Nagar that most other cities outside the metro cluster simply don't have. GMADA's sector planning added wide roads and an urban forest that runs along Sectors 96–105. What resulted is a real estate market where mid-rise apartments and independent floors in the right sectors have outpaced even parts of Delhi NCR on appreciation.
