Deutsche Bank\u2019s CRE team has renegotiated its lease rental for its corporate front office of 90,000 sqft at a premium grade A commercial building in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) by 15% from INR 306 per sqft per month to INR 265 per sqft per month. Deutsche Bank executed an addendum agreement on March 31, 2017. Deutsche Bank\u2019s previous agreement commenced in year 2012 at initial rent of INR 278 per sqft per month with lock-in period until March 2018. The current rental was INR 306 per sqft (post its first escalation of 10%). Although the contracted rental has been reduced by 15%, the lock-in period has been extended until March 2022 from the existing lock-in period until March 2018 benefiting for the Landlord in terms of assured tenancy by Grade A occupier.<\/p>\n

Currently, the average passing rent of Grade A office building at BKC, Mumbai is INR 269 per sqft per month. Thus, we infer that Deutsche Bank\u2019s rent is now aligned with current market average.<\/p>\n

The commercial office real estate market in Mumbai has been witnessing similar trends in the last 12-18 months wherein tenants are re-negotiating their contract rents downwards primarily when the lock-in period expires or even earlier in select cases. Key micro-markets such as BKC, Kalina and Lower Parel are witnessing such trends. Some of the recent key transactions negotiated are stated below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Given a rise in such trends, CRE teams on occupier side have started to show clear preference towards shorter lease terms and lock-in periods to allow frequent review of market conditions.<\/p>\n
