Quest Coworks Private Limited has strengthened its presence in Mumbai’s commercial real estate market by acquiring over 57,500 sq ft of office space in Andheri (East) for ₹55.84 crore. According to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix, the company purchased five office units from Capgemini Technology Services India Limited, marking a significant step in its expansion strategy.

Deal Details

The acquisition includes five office units at Akruti Softech Park, located in the MIDC Marol Industrial Area—one of Andheri East’s most active commercial corridors. The transaction was registered on March 16, 2026, with a stamp duty payment of ₹3.58 crore.

Each unit ranges between 10,500 sq ft and 11,885 sq ft. The individual deal values range from ₹10.18 crore to ₹11.52 crore.

In addition to the office units, the transaction also includes 51 car parking spaces. This enhances the overall value and usability of the asset for enterprise clients and flexible workspace operations.

Focus on Enterprise & Flex Demand

Prasad Shinde, Founder of Quest Coworks, emphasized that the acquisition aligns with the company’s long-term growth plans in Mumbai. He stated that the new asset will support both managed flexible workspace offerings and enterprise clients seeking large, dedicated office solutions in Andheri East.

Quest Coworks is increasingly focusing on owning premium commercial assets rather than relying solely on leased properties. This strategy allows the company to maintain better control over quality, operations, and long-term value creation.

Shinde noted that Andheri East continues to be one of Mumbai’s most sought-after business districts, making this an opportune time to deepen the company’s presence in the micro-market.

Capgemini Continues Strategic Real Estate Divestments

In a significant transaction in 2025, Capgemini Technology Limited sold Capgemini’s Knowledge Park in Airoli, Thane, near Mumbai, for ₹550 crore. The deal, recorded in September 2025, ranked among the largest commercial real estate transactions in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region that year.

The asset was acquired by Prime Lohegaon Infraspaces LLP, a subsidiary of Pune-based Panchshil Realty.

Airbus India Private Limited Expands Bengaluru Footprint to Nearly 8 Lakh Sq Ft (3)

Global aerospace and defence major Airbus India Private Limited has leased 1.51 lakh sq ft of office space at Titanium Tech Park in Bengaluru, according to documents accessed by CRE Matrix. The deal strengthens the company’s long-term expansion strategy in India. With this addition, Airbus continues to scale its technology and engineering footprint in the city.

Deal Details 

Airbus leased 1,14,955 sq ft across the third and fourth floors and 36,755 sq ft on the ground floor. The company agreed to pay ₹64 per sq ft per month. It will pay ₹73.57 lakh for the upper floors and ₹23.52 lakh for the ground floor. The total leased area stands at 1,51,710 sq ft. The total monthly rent stands at ₹97.09 lakh. The lease runs for eight years until October 31, 2034. The company paid a security deposit of ₹4.75 crore for the upper floors and ₹1.52 crore for the ground floor. The agreement also includes 203 parking spaces across all floors.

Earlier 6.2 Lakh Sq Ft Commitment

Last year, Airbus leased over 6.2 lakh sq ft in the same tower to establish its global capability centre. The company took 5.63 lakh sq ft across the sixth to the fifteenth floors at a monthly rent of ₹3.60 crore. It also leased 57,508 sq ft on the fifth floor for ₹36.80 lakh per month. The earlier agreement included a scalability clause that allowed Airbus to add another 1.5 lakh sq ft and extend the lease by five years, potentially making it a 15-year commitment.

Market Outlook and Sentiments

India’s office market continues to show strong momentum, with leasing activity nearing record levels and Bengaluru leading demand. Global capability centres, technology firms, and flex operators are driving fresh absorption despite global uncertainties.

Improving sentiment indicators reflect renewed confidence in premium office assets. The Airbus expansion aligns with this broader optimism, as large occupiers continue to secure quality space in Bengaluru. This, in turn, indicates sustained demand in India’s commercial real estate market.

Recent office space transactions in Bengaluru highlight sustained demand from global occupiers and technology majors. In one of the largest commercial leasing deals of 2025, IBM India Pvt. Ltd. leased 161,884 sq ft of Grade-A office space at Embassy Golflinks Business Park (EGL), Bengaluru.

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.

Future of Office Spaces in India: Post-COVID Trends and Structural Opportunities

Future of Office Spaces in India

India’s office market has moved decisively beyond recovery. What began as a post-pandemic reset has evolved into a structurally stronger, more disciplined cycle defined by quality absorption, occupier consolidation, and sustained rental growth.

Contrary to early expectations, hybrid work has not reduced demand for office space in India. Instead, it has reshaped where, how, and what type of office space is being leased.

The data now clearly reflects this shift.

Leasing Momentum: Beyond Pre-COVID Benchmarks

Before the pandemic, India’s Grade A and A+ office market was already on a strong growth trajectory. Between 2018 and 2019, annual leasing volumes averaged ~54 million sq ft.

The post-COVID rebound has exceeded those levels.

  • 2023 leasing demand reached ~62 million sq ft, nearly 15% higher than pre-COVID peaks
  • Leasing activity in Q3 CY’25 alone stood at 19.6 million sq ft
  • In the first nine months of CY’25, absorption touched 62.3 million sq ft, indicating sustained occupier confidence

This is not pent-up demand being released it reflects structural expansion by technology firms, GCCs, BFSI players, and engineering-led enterprises.

Supply Expansion with Improving Discipline

India’s office market crossed a significant milestone in Q3 2025, with Grade A/A+ stock surpassing 1 billion sq ft.

What makes this cycle distinct from earlier ones is not just scale but balance.

  • Demand is consistently outpacing new completions
  • The demand-to-supply ratio stands at ~1.2x, indicating absorption strength
  • Vacancy levels have declined to multi-quarter lows, despite continued stock additions

This marks a departure from earlier cycles where aggressive supply often preceded demand, leading to prolonged vacancy overhangs.

Rental Performance: From Stability to Growth

Rental behaviour is now reflecting tightening market conditions.

  • Pan-India weighted average passing rents reached ₹92.1 per sq ft/month in Q3 CY’25
  • Rental growth is no longer limited to CBDs; high-quality peripheral corridors are also seeing upward pressure
  • Markets with strong GCC and multinational occupier presence are leading rental hardening

This shift indicates that occupiers are prioritising quality, compliance, efficiency, and talent access and are willing to pay for it.

What Has Changed in Post-COVID Office Demand

1. Quality Over Quantity

Occupiers are consolidating into Grade A+ assets, reducing exposure to inefficient or non-compliant buildings.

2. Office as a Strategic Asset

Offices are now seen as collaboration, innovation, and talent-retention hubs not just cost centres.

3. GCC-Led Expansion

Global Capability Centres continue to be a major absorption driver, providing long-term stability across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and NCR.

4. Flight to Managed Ecosystems

Integrated business parks with strong infrastructure, amenities, and ESG readiness are outperforming standalone assets.

Emerging Opportunities Across the Value Chain

For Developers

  • Focus on future-ready Grade A+ assets
  • Emphasis on sustainability, flexibility, and efficiency
  • Disciplined phasing aligned with demand visibility

For Investors and REITs

  • Strong re-leasing visibility due to tightening vacancy
  • Rental growth supporting yield stability
  • Asset quality differentiation becoming more pronounced

For Occupiers

  • Early-mover advantage in emerging corridors
  • Portfolio optimisation across cities
  • Ability to lock in space before further rental hardening

Outlook: The Next Phase of Office Growth

India’s office market has entered a post-pandemic expansion phase, not a recovery phase.

With:

  • Leasing volumes consistently above pre-COVID levels
  • Vacancy tightening despite large stock additions
  • Rentals showing broad-based upward movement

…the office sector is positioned for sustained, demand-led growth.

The future of office spaces in India will be shaped less by remote-work narratives and more by economic expansion, global integration, and the country’s role as a core office destination.

1: What is the future of office spaces in India after COVID?

India’s office market has moved beyond recovery into a structural growth phase. Leasing volumes are consistently above pre-COVID levels, vacancies are tightening, and rentals are showing broad-based growth driven by GCCs and multinational occupiers.

2: Has hybrid work reduced office space demand in India?

No. Hybrid work has reshaped office demand rather than reduced it. Occupiers are prioritising high-quality Grade A and A+ offices that support collaboration, compliance, and employee experience, leading to consolidation rather than contraction.

3: Which sectors are driving office leasing demand in India?

Technology firms, Global Capability Centres (GCCs), BFSI players, and engineering-led enterprises are the primary drivers of office space absorption across key markets such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, and NCR.

4: Are office rentals increasing in India post-COVID?

Yes. Pan-India weighted average office rents have entered a growth phase, supported by tightening vacancies and sustained occupier demand, especially in markets with strong multinational and GCC presence.

5: What opportunities does the post-COVID office market create for developers and investors?

Developers benefit from demand for future-ready Grade A+ assets, while investors and REITs gain from improving rental growth, strong re-leasing visibility, and clearer asset quality differentiation.

6: Is India still an attractive office destination globally?

Yes. India continues to strengthen its position as a global office destination due to economic expansion, global integration, talent availability, and long-term GCC-led demand.

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.

It rises to ₹15 lakh in the second year and ₹16 lakh in the third year. In the fourth and fifth years, the rent increases further to ₹18.4 lakh per month, reflecting confidence in the long-term potential of Andheri West as a retail destination.

Celebrity Interest in Commercial Real Estate

WeWork Leases 1.76 Lakh Sq Ft at Skyview 20 in Hyderabad, Sub-Leases Entire Space to JP Morgan

WeWork Leases 1.76 Lakh Sq Ft at Skyview 20 in Hyderabad

In one of Hyderabad’s biggest office deals this year, WeWork India has leased 1,75,953 sq ft at Skyview 20 in Hitech City, Madhapur. The space was immediately sub-leased to JP Morgan Services India Pvt Ltd, as confirmed by documents accessed by CRE Matrix.

The master lease between Mahanga Commercial Properties and WeWork, and the sub-lease between WeWork and JP Morgan, were both registered in November 2025. The back-to-back execution highlights the rapid uptake of premium offices in Hyderabad’s technology corridor.

WeWork has taken the space on a 60-month lease with a starting monthly rent of ₹1.72 crore. The security deposit is ₹10.34 crore. The area covers two floors—501 and 601 and includes 176 parking slots. The handover was done on 1 July 2025, followed by a four-month fit-out and rent-free period. With rent fixed at ₹98 per sq ft, the deal signals WeWork’s strong push into the Hyderabad market. It also reflects the city’s rapidly growing demand for flexible workspaces.

On 13 November 2025, WeWork sub-leased the entire area to JP Morgan at a significantly higher monthly rent of ₹4.38 crore. The agreement comes with a security deposit of ₹25.97 crore. JP Morgan will occupy the same floors, fitted with 1,501 desks as part of a managed office solution. The sub-lease runs for 60 months with a 24-month lock-in and a 5 percent annual rent escalation. Fit-out charges were set at ₹3,540 per sq ft, and the handover was done on 15 November 2025.

The sharp rent spread from ₹98 per sq ft in WeWork’s lease to ₹249 per sq ft in JP Morgan’s sub-lease shows the premium commanded by fully built, high-quality managed offices. It also highlights how global firms are increasingly opting for ready-to-move, service-backed workspaces over traditional bare-shell leases.

Skyview 20, located along Hitech City Main Road, remains one of Hyderabad’s most sought-after Grade-A office destinations. Its strong connectivity, modern infrastructure, and proximity to major IT hubs continue to draw multinational banks, tech companies, and enterprise occupiers. Additionally, the WeWork–JP Morgan deal further elevates its position as a top-tier commercial asset in the city.
