The additional space Apple recently leased is located in WaveRock Tower 2.1 in Nanakramguda. The lease agreement, which started on July 1, 2025, covers the upper ground and third floors of the tower and is signed for 60 months. Apple will pay a monthly rent of ₹80.15 lakh at a rate of ₹125 per sq ft, which includes a warm shell rent of ₹74.18 per sq ft and a fit out rent of ₹50.82 per sq ft.
A warm shell rent refers to the rental cost for office space that comes with basic interior work already done, making it nearly ready to occupy. Apple has also paid a security deposit of ₹4.8 crore, and the rent will increase by 4.77% annually over the lease period.
Apple has been designated 64 car parking spaces (1 reserved space for every 1,000 sq. ft. of leasable area) at no additional cost. Each space can be used for either one car or up to six two-wheelers. The agreement also states that additional parking spaces may be provided, subject to availability and payment of extra rent.
The lease has a lock-in period of three years from the rent commencement date. During this time, neither party can terminate the lease, except under the specific conditions mentioned in the agreement. Apple’s Hyderabad office, officially inaugurated by CEO Tim Cook in May 2016, serves as a key development hub for Apple Maps, specializing in geospatial technology and data modeling.

Real estate experts say Foxconn’s new facility in Bengaluru is driving demand for homes and commercial spaces in Devanahalli, supported by job creation and improving infrastructure. Foxconn is the largest manufacturer of iPhones, and the second-biggest facility outside China in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, being set up at an investment of $2.8 billion (about ₹25,000 crore). The Taiwanese electronics major has recently begun small-scale production of the iPhone 17 at the plant, which is its second-largest manufacturing unit, according to sources cited by PTI.
