Innovative Solutions For The Real Estate Industry

The innovative solutions for the real estate industry are 'Existing Lattice Towers pass through these lands' and 'Future proposals of transmission Lines that pass through these lands'. The disadvantages of existing Lattice Towers that pass through these Lands are that, these Lattice Towers take large foot print and right of way, they are aesthetically not pleasant, there is a human psychology to keep away from these towers and less demand, they are not able to use optimum utilization of space, there is no or less rental value, it is difficult to get buyers for land / apartments.

Thus larger lot area, real or perceived, may compensate for proximity to the towers there by disguising the penalty. The disadvantage of Future Lattice Towers pass through these Lands is that, its difficult to do land acquisition, there is high compensation and lease cost involved, there is a compensation raise and increase year-on-year. Understanding the Impact is most important to electricity suppliers in planning the best route and determining fair compensation in case of full or partial resumption of private land. 

Sub-Structure / Foundation

Not only super structures but sub structures are also very crucial for such solutions.
