The Agra Development Authority (ADA), which approves residential housing projects across the city, is struggling to sell flats in its own flagship schemes. Most units in ADA Heights at Taj Nagari Phase-2 and Shastripuram Heights remain unsold, forcing the authority to rethink pricing and sales strategies.
With sales failing to pick up, ADA is now preparing to cut prices for flats in Shastripuram Heights and sell unsold flats at ADA Heights in bulk to generate revenue. Despite several attempts over the years to attract buyers, occupancy levels remain low, affecting maintenance of the residential towers.
ADA Heights was launched in 2007–08 at Taj Nagari Phase-2 and completed in 2014. Built over 35,427 square metres, the project consists of nine blocks, including seven 12-storey towers and two 13-storey towers. The total project cost was around Rs 256 crore.
Initially, the scheme received a good response, with around 150 of the 582 flats being booked quickly. However, demand slowed down later. The project includes 200 one-bedroom units, 200 two-bedroom units, 108 three-bedroom units and 74 four-bedroom units. Flat prices range between Rs 25 lakh and Rs 85 lakh, with categories such as studio, deluxe, super deluxe and ultra deluxe.
At present, around 272 flats remain unsold, impacting the upkeep of the complex. The ADA board has classified 170 unsold 2BHK and 3BHK units as “unpopular properties” and approved their bulk sale. The decision was taken during a recent board meeting, where non-official members also backed the proposal.
Officials said the authority is concerned over the prolonged vacancy in both ADA Heights and Shastripuram Heights. The divisional commissioner has directed ADA to review the market relevance and pricing of these properties. If assets fail to attract buyers, their prices must be reassessed to reflect market conditions.
At Shastripuram Heights, ADA had developed modern 2BHK, 3BHK and 4BHK flats. However, sales have been poor in the current financial year. Out of 336 flats, only 93 have been sold so far, leaving nearly 72 per cent units unsold despite the project being in a prime location.
To boost sales, ADA is likely to revise the rate card, offer price cuts or introduce easy instalment schemes to attract middle-class buyers. The authority is also seeking support from private agencies through a request for proposal (RFP) to speed up the sale process.
