Editor’s Note

Signature Global began its journey in 2020 building affordable homes which were sold at INR 15-20 lakh and now it is one of the reliable companies to for the premium home buyer segment. The Delhi-NCR property market has seen a turnaround in the aftermath of the pandemic. After a multi-year slowdown in the residential sector in particular, both home sales and prices have picked up significantly and Signature Global is rightfully cashing on the situation leaving the buyers with multiple housing options.
