The concept of fractional ownership in the Indian real estate market is still in its infancy, but it is expected to get valued at more than USD 5 billion. Fractional ownership is the future of the Indian real estate industry since it addresses an issue with commercial property: the high entry barrier of required investment.

Residential and commercial real estate are two sides of the same coin, yet they are very distinct. Many of the same ideas apply to both – location is critical, they both bring cash flow and appreciation, and they provide several tax advantages. But, to say that commercial real estate is the same as residential real estate is like saying apples are bananas. There is no doubt that both belong to the same genre, that is real estate. But that is about it.

Commercial real estate has become both accessible and profitable for the majority of Indians since the advent of fractional or shared ownership.
