Delhi-NCR Ranks 6th in Asia Pacific for Office Rent, Clocking Rs 340 per Sq Ft Monthly
Real Estate News:Delhi-NCR has emerged as one of the most expensive office markets in the Asia Pacific region, ranking 6th with a monthly rent of Rs 340 per square foot, as per the recent report by Knight Frank. The Asia-Pacific Prime Office Rental Index for Q3 2024 provides a comprehensive overview of the office rental trends across major cities in the region.

Knight Frank, a leading global real estate consultancy, has been tracking office rental trends in key markets for several years. The latest index highlights the increasing demand for premium office spaces in Delhi-NCR, driven by a robust economy and a thriving business environment.

The report indicates that the top five most expensive office markets in the Asia Pacific are Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, and Melbourne. Delhi-NCR's position at 6th is a testament to its growing significance as a business hub. The city's strategic location, well-developed infrastructure, and a large pool of skilled professionals make it an attractive destination for both domestic and international companies.

According to the report, the average monthly rent in Delhi-NCR has increased by 5% compared to the previous quarter. This growth is attributed to a rise in demand from tech companies, financial institutions, and multinational corporations. The increasing number of startups and the expansion of existing businesses have also contributed to the surge in rental rates.

The core business districts of Delhi-NCR, such as Connaught Place, Noida, Gurgaon, and Gurugram, are seeing the most significant rent hikes. These areas are known for their world-class infrastructure and connectivity, making them prime locations for office spaces.

Rajiv Paliwal, Managing Director of Knight Frank India, commented, 'The Delhi-NCR office market continues to show resilience and growth, driven by a strong economy and favorable business conditions. The increasing demand from tech and financial companies is a key factor in the rising rental rates. We expect this trend to continue in the coming quarters as more companies look to expand their presence in the region.'

The report also highlights the challenges faced by the office market in Delhi-NCR, including a shortage of Grade A office spaces and increasing competition. However, the government's initiatives to improve infrastructure and promote economic growth are expected to mitigate these issues in the long term.

In conclusion, the Delhi-NCR office market remains a strong performer in the Asia Pacific region, with a bright future ahead. The combination of a robust economy, skilled workforce, and strategic location makes it a highly attractive destination for businesses looking to set up or expand operations in the region.
