Alina Zaki, Creative Director & Ali Kamil, Director, Align By Mr. Glass: A few years ago, green living real estate was often reserved for niche or luxury developments. But the mindset has clearly shifted. Rising AQI levels, climate volatility, water stress, and post-pandemic wellness awareness has made sustainability personal. Green design has moved from marketing jargon to everyday decision-making. Natural ventilation, green landscapes, energy efficiency, and low-impact construction have started influencing buyer preference in meaningful ways.

Green living real estate is no longer optional; it is becoming essential. Urban families and younger professionals are actively seeking homes that feel open, calm, and nature-integrated rather than boxed and isolated. Developments that prioritise green buffers, native plantations, open courtyards, and breathable layouts are seeing stronger demand and long-term value.

A subtle but powerful enabler of this transition is the thoughtful use of glass. When designed responsibly, glass supports sustainability by maximising daylight, encouraging visual openness, and reducing reliance on artificial lighting. High-performance glazing and well-engineered partitions allow homes to stay thermally comfortable while maintaining a seamless connection to the outdoors.

What’s also changing is perception: green living is no longer seen as expensive or experimental. It is recognised as practical, future-ready, and health-forward. Homes that balance nature, material intelligence, and human comfort will define the next phase of India’s real estate story where access to light, air, and green views becomes the ultimate luxury.
