A 63-floor tower, housing 362 units on a 2.17 acre plot in Kokapet, is the tallest residential structure the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has sanctioned this year up to September [2025]. Added with a five-tower 56-floor complex on 7.71 acres, and another mixed use project with 66 lakh square feet built up area on 9.71 acres, Kokapet wears the crown as the most sought after real estate destination in the urban metropolis, as measured in terms of building permissions granted by HMDA.

Two more buildings, with 30 and 47 floors respectively, are coming up in Bandlaguda Jagir, speaking for the unmitigated penchant for high rise dwellings.

A statement from the HMDA has informed that the multi-storeyed building (MSB) segment led the impressive growth in building permissions during the period. A total 77 applications have been sanctioned, covering 78.71 lakh square metres and earning ₹514 crore for the urban development authority — a sharp rise from 55 applications in 2023, accounting for 37.03 lakh sq m, and ₹215 crore revenue.
