Facebook India Leases 69,702 Sq Ft Office Space in Hyderabad’s Hitec City

Facebook India office lease in Hyderabad

Meta Platforms’ Indian arm, Facebook India Online Services Pvt Ltd, has further strengthened its footprint in Hyderabad with a fresh office lease in the city’s prime IT corridor, Hitec City. According to the documents accessed by CRE Matrix, the company has signed a five-year lease for nearly 69,702 sq ft of Grade A office space. This reaffirms Hyderabad’s position as one of India’s most resilient and attractive technology hubs.

Details of the Lease Transaction

Facebook India has leased the space in Skyview 20, part of The Skyview commercial complex, from Mahanga Commercial Properties Pvt Ltd. According to the lease documents, the agreement was signed on December 2, 2025, with rent commencement starting on December 18, 2025.

The monthly rental is close to ₹67 lakh, translating to rentals of around ₹96 per sq ft. The lease agreement also includes a 15% rental escalation after three years, reflecting both the quality of the asset and sustained occupier confidence in the micro-market.

Reinforcing Hyderabad’s Tech and GCC Ecosystem

This large-format transaction highlights Hyderabad’s continued appeal to global technology companies, particularly for Global Capability Centres (GCCs). Over the years, Hitec City has evolved into a deeply institutionalised office market, offering scale, modern infrastructure, and long-term flexibility—key requirements for multinational occupiers.

Commenting on the transaction, Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO and Co-founder of CRE Matrix, said the deal underscores Hyderabad’s strength as a strategic GCC and technology hub. He noted that occupiers are increasingly willing to pay a premium for Grade A office assets that offer operational efficiency, scalability, and future-ready infrastructure.

Such transactions, especially at near-70,000 sq ft scale, signal sustained demand from global tech players and reinforce Hitec City’s status as one of India’s most stable and sought-after office micro-markets.

Meta’s Longstanding Presence in Hyderabad

Meta’s association with Hyderabad dates back to 2010, when the company opened its first India office in the city. Since then, it has consistently expanded its presence, making Hyderabad a key centre for its India operations.

In fact, towards the end of 2024, Meta renewed leases for a significantly larger office footprint—around 367,000 sq ft—within the same Skyview property. These renewals were executed through two separate agreements for an additional five-year tenure, with a total rental commitment of approximately ₹170 crore. The latest lease further consolidates Meta’s long-term commitment to the location.

Office Market Momentum Across India

Technology companies and flexible workspace operators led absorption during the year, driven by GCC expansion, return-to-office strategies, and India’s growing role in global business operations.

Facebook India’s latest lease in Hitec City is more than just an expansion—it is a strong endorsement of Hyderabad’s office market fundamentals. As global technology firms continue to deepen their India presence, well-located, Grade A assets in established IT corridors are likely to remain in high demand, supporting stable rentals and long-term market confidence.

Recent Transactions

Hyderabad’s commercial real estate market continues to gather momentum, with several large-format office space transactions in key micro-markets driven by technology companies and global capability centres expanding operations in the city.

In a recent transaction, Global real estate consultancy Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants India (JLL) leased 1.21 lakh sq ft of office space at Prestige Skytech – Sky One in Poppalguda, Gandipet mandal, Hyderabad. In another transaction, WeWork India leased 1,75,953 sq ft at Skyview 20 in Hitech City.

In addition, Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges amount to Rs 12 per sq ft per month. This aligns with prevailing Grade A SEZ office benchmarks in Navi Mumbai.

Strategic Importance of Airoli

Airoli has emerged as a preferred destination for IT and IT-enabled services companies due to its SEZ ecosystem, competitive rentals, robust infrastructure, and strong connectivity to Thane, Navi Mumbai, and Mumbai via road and rail networks.

This transaction highlights sustained occupier demand for Grade A office assets in established business parks. Tenants are increasingly prioritising long-term visibility, predictable lease structures, and operational efficiency.

Market Outlook

Large-format office leasing by established IT majors like Wipro signals renewed confidence in structured office environments, particularly in SEZs offering integrated infrastructure and compliance benefits. With a limited supply of high-quality spaces in prime micro-markets, Airoli remains a strong performer in Navi Mumbai’s commercial real estate landscape.

Arjun Sharma of Select City Walk Acquires South Delhi Property for Rs 125 Crore

Arjun Sharma of Select City Walk Acquires South Delhi Property (2)

Arjun Sharma, one of the founders of Delhi’s Select City Walk mall, has recently purchased a sprawling bungalow in South Delhi’s West End. The deal, valued at Rs 125 crore, was conducted through his firm, Select World Tours, where Sharma serves as director. According to documents accessed by CRE Matrix, he also paid Rs 8.75 crore in stamp duty for the transaction.

Moreover, Sharma currently serves as an Independent Director at Sandhar Technologies Limited. Over the years, his business experience has spanned tourism and hospitality, including leading Heritage Village Resort & Spa in Gurgaon and Goa, Sita Travels (now owned by Thomas Cook), and Le Passage to India (now owned by TUI). Importantly, Select City Walk is now part of India’s first retail REIT, backed by the Blackstone Group.

Surge in Luxury Real Estate Interest

A recent survey by India Sotheby’s International Realty (ISIR) indicates that nearly half of respondents expect 12%-18% returns from real estate investments. However, optimism has slightly declined, with only 71% of HNIs and UHNIs projecting strong returns, down from 79% in 2024. Despite this, most believe that India will remain the fastest-growing major economy, with GDP growth of 6%-6.5%.

South Delhi Property Prices on the Rise

Meanwhile, renewed buyer confidence has boosted demand for independent floors in South Delhi. Also, a surge in redevelopment activity has further pushed up their average prices. Specifically, Category A and B colonies saw price jumps of 12%-17% in Q3 2025. Analysts attribute this increase primarily to the growing preference for luxury housing among high-net-worth individuals.

For investors like Sharma, timing and location matter. West End, South Delhi, is a prime luxury zone. Therefore, with strong demand for high-end residential properties, strategic acquisitions offer both prestige and potential returns.

Recent Transactions

South Delhi continues to attract high-net-worth buyers, with luxury property transactions on the rise. These high-profile deals highlight strong demand for prime locations, driven by redevelopment activity, renewed buyer confidence, and a growing preference for upscale independent floors.

In a recent transaction, South Delhi resident Ashok Mittal has acquired a premium bungalow in Delhi’s upscale Sunder Nagar locality for ₹65 crore. In another transaction earlier this year, Yashwant Singh, a member of a Rajasthan royal family, purchased a bungalow in Delhi’s upscale Golf Links area for a staggering ₹100 crore.

Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Shriram Nene Sell Juhu Apartment for ₹3.9 Crore (2)

Bollywood actress Madhuri Dixit Nene and her husband, Dr. Shriram Madhav Nene, have sold their luxury apartment in Mumbai’s premium Juhu locality for ₹3.9 crore, according to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix. The transaction was registered on December 15, 2025, marking another high-profile residential deal in Mumbai’s western suburbs.

The apartment is located at Flat No. 41 on the fourth floor of Iris Park, Deep Varsha Co-operative Housing Society, situated on Military Road in Juhu (400049).

Transaction Details

The total consideration recorded in the sale deed stands at ₹3.90 crore. In addition to the sale value, a security deposit of ₹19.5 lakh formed part of the transaction. The buyer of the apartment is Mrs Darshana Ghatlia. As reflected in the stamp duty calculation sheet within the registered documents, the buyer also availed a 1% stamp duty concession under the Maharashtra government’s women homebuyer benefit scheme.

Nearly 100% Appreciation Since 2012

Madhuri Dixit and Dr. Nene had originally purchased the Juhu apartment in June 2012 for ₹1.96 crore. The latest transaction reflects a capital appreciation of nearly 100% over a period of 13 years. The strong price growth indicates Juhu’s enduring appeal as a premium residential destination, where demand remains resilient despite market cycles.

Limited availability of premium homes in the area has supported steady capital appreciation, with celebrity-owned properties often attracting additional valuation premiums.

Recent Transactions

New Century Sofa India Secures Large Industrial Lease in Tamil Nadu

New Century Sofa India Secures Industrial Lease

IndoSpace, a leading investor, developer, and operator of Grade-A industrial and logistics real estate in India, has signed a major lease with New Century Sofa India. The deal covers 2.72 lakh sq ft at IndoSpace Industrial Park, Oragadam II. The facility is located in Block B, Venbakkam, along the Oragadam–Walajabad Road in Sriperumbudur Taluk, Kancheepuram District.

According to lease documents shared by CRE Matrix, the agreement has a 36-month tenure with a full 36-month lock-in. This structure ensures long-term stability for both parties. The lease also includes a 5% annual rent escalation, offering predictable annuity income for IndoSpace and operational certainty for the tenant.

Phased Possession For Faster Operational Readiness

Notably, the lease covers three buildings within the industrial park. This structure allows New Century Sofa India to plan its operations efficiently. IndoSpace handed over possession on 1 April 2025, enabling early operational preparation. Buildings 1 and 3 had no fit-out period. As a result, the tenant could install machinery and begin operations immediately after handover.

Meanwhile, Building 2 follows a staggered timeline. The lease commencement date was 16 May 2025. The rent commencement date began on 1 October 2025. Consequently, this phased approach offers flexibility. It also aligns rental obligations with operational readiness.

Part of IndoSpace’s Larger Industrial Expansion Strategy

Importantly, this transaction aligns with IndoSpace’s aggressive expansion in Tamil Nadu. The developer has increased its planned capital deployment to ₹4,500 crore for new logistics and warehouse developments. This surge reflects the state’s rapid emergence as a preferred destination for large-scale manufacturing. Strong infrastructure and supportive policies continue to drive this growth.

Global and domestic OEMs such as Hyundai, Nissan, Foxconn, and Pegatron have already announced major expansions in the region. Meanwhile, IndoSpace plays a critical role in supporting these supply chains. It does so by delivering scalable, Grade-A industrial facilities.

Furthermore, the Oragadam deal adds to IndoSpace’s recent leasing momentum. In recent quarters, the company signed large occupiers across multiple locations. These include Relaxo Footwears at Bhaproda (243,549 sq ft), Puma at Luhari IV (around 279,000 sq ft), Inox Solar at Bavla (284,180 sq ft), and a nearly 700,000 sq ft expansion by RenewSys at Khopoli II.

Consequently, industry experts see this sustained leasing activity as a sign of strong demand. Key sectors include consumer goods, retail, electronics, and renewable energy. This demand is driven by India’s expanding consumption base and continued supply chain diversification.
