GREATER NOIDA: The Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (Yeida) has finalised CBRE South Asia as consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for ‘Heritage City’, an urban zone to be developed at Raya in Mathura. The DPR for the project is likely to be ready by May this year, Yeida officials said on Tuesday.

“CBRE has started work on Heritage City DPR. Once the consultant submits its report, we will take further action after due consultation with the UP government. CBRE has been given three months to submit DPR,” said Arun Vir Singh, chief executive officer, Yeida.

A total of six firms were in race but CBRE South Asia Private Limited was selected to prepare DPR, the authority officials said. In December last year, the authority had started the process to hire an agency for the Heritage City project.
