Tier-2 cities accounted for 67 per cent of land transactions in Q1 2026, up from 34 per cent in 2025, as the report tracks 1.4 billion sq ft of future supply.
Tier-2 cities accounted for 67 per cent of all land transactions in the first quarter of 2026, overtaking major metros for the first time. A Cushman & Wakefield report also points to 1.4 billion sq ft of future supply. MagicBricks News, 2026-09-11.
What happened
Tier-2 markets made up 67 per cent of land transacted in Q1 2026. Their share was around 2 per cent of annual land transactions in 2021 and 34 per cent in 2025.
The Cushman & Wakefield report was released on September 9. Its findings indicate a potential shift in where the next wave of real estate supply could come from.
Why it matters
The figures show that tier-2 cities have moved ahead of major metros in land deals during early 2026. The report’s 1.4 billion sq ft future-supply figure also gives buyers, investors and market watchers a measure of the development pipeline being tracked.
Expert view
The available data covers the share of land transactions and future supply. It does not provide city-wise project details in the supplied report summary, so the figures should be read as a market-level indicator.
What buyers should check
Buyers and investors should check the specific city, project and development details before taking a decision. The supplied information does not identify the cities or projects that make up the 1.4 billion sq ft future supply.
