This deal is among the larger outright sales recorded in the Thane submarket in the last couple of years. Prime Lohegaon has paid stamp duty worth Rs 27.5 crore for the registration of the deal, which took place on September 17, as shown by documents accessed through CRE Matrix, a real estate data analytics platform.
Capgemini had developed the Knowledge Park in Thane as part of its office and technology operations in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The company continues to operate from several other campuses across India and remains one of the largest IT services employers in the country. The sale of the Thane assets aligns with the broader strategy adopted by several global technology and consulting firms, which are reassessing their office portfolios. Many are consolidating into larger integrated campuses, optimizing utilization levels, and monetizing non-core properties as hybrid work practices gain traction.
Prime Lohegaon, the purchaser of the assets, is part of Panchshil Realty, a developer with a portfolio of large-scale commercial and office projects, primarily in Pune. The acquisition expands Panchshil’s presence into the Mumbai region at a time when the market has seen multiple large-ticket transactions involving developers, private equity funds, and corporates. ET's email query to Capgemini remained unanswered, while Panchshil spokesperson declined to comment for the story.
Real estate industry data indicates that Thane has emerged as one of the important office and mixed-use locations in Maharashtra due to infrastructure projects and ongoing metro network expansion. The locality has attracted interest from both occupiers and investors looking for large land banks and scalable campuses. Capgemini’s divestment adds to the trend of corporates monetizing assets in key urban centers, while developers acquire these holdings either for continued leasing or for redevelopment, depending on demand and approvals.
