JP Morgan Services India Private Limited has leased over 13 lakh sq ft of built-to-suit commercial office space in Powai, Mumbai. This is one of the largest office leasing transactions recorded in India. The deal involves a total rental commitment of approximately ₹5,200 crore over a 20-year tenure, according to property registration documents accessed by CRE Matrix. The space will house the American investment bank’s global capability centre (GCC).
Lease Details: Rentals, Tenure, and Financial Commitments
The office space is located at One Forest Avenue, Powai. In this transaction, BSS Property Ventures Private Limited and Rajeshwar Property Ventures Private Limited have leased the property to JP Morgan Services India. Both entities operate through an SPV backed by Brookfield Properties, which holds a stake in the development.
Under the lease terms, the agreement starts at a monthly rent of ₹39 crore. This translates to a starting rental of ₹300 per sq ft for the approximately 13 lakh sq ft leased area. Additionally, the built-to-suit office will span 19 floors, including the ground floor, and offer around 1,300 parking spaces.
As part of the transaction, a security deposit of ₹468 crore has been paid. Further, the deal attracted a stamp duty of ₹125 crore, calculated on a 20-year tenure. It also includes a registration fee of ₹30,000. Meanwhile, while the initial lease term is 10 years, rentals will escalate by 4.5% annually.
Brookfield’s GCC Development Strengthens Powai’s Office Market
Brookfield Properties earlier announced a ₹9,000 crore investment to develop a 2 million sq ft global capability centre (GCC) in Powai. The campus is all set to become Asia’s largest GCC for a multinational bank.
The 6-acre development, slated for completion by 2030, will consolidate JP Morgan’s Mumbai operations into a single, state-of-the-art campus.
The transaction highlights India’s growing dominance as a global GCC hub and reinforces Powai’s status as a preferred office micro-market, driven by strong connectivity, a deep talent pool, and a mature mixed-use ecosystem.
