The seller of the property is Ascendum Solutions India Pvt Ltd. Each block spans a basement, ground, and three floors, with built-up areas of 92,098 sq ft and 80,395 sq ft, respectively. The EPIP Zone in Whitefield is a prominent area known for its IT parks and residential developments. It is a well-connected locality with a mix of commercial and residential spaces, attracting a large number of working professionals.
Microchip Technology focuses on delivering high-quality semiconductor designs and solutions. Bengaluru’s Whitefield is one of the city’s most sought-after commercial hubs, driven by strong occupier demand from IT, R&D, and electronics firms. This acquisition underscores Microchip's commitment to expanding its footprint in one of India's leading tech hubs.
In previous transactions in East Bengaluru, Texas-based energy giant ExxonMobil Services and Technology had renewed its lease for five years for nearly 5.31 lakh square feet of office space in Bengaluru's eastern IT corridor of Whitefield for a monthly rent of ₹2.60 crore. The space, located in Prestige Shantiniketan, is spread across multiple floors in Crescent 1 (floors 4,5,6,7,8) and Crescent 2 (floors 1,2,4,5,6,7).
In April 2025, Google IT Services India renewed its lease for 8.7 lakh sq ft of office space in East Bengaluru’s Doddanekkundi, with an annual rental commitment of ₹90 crore. The five-year agreements, registered in April, cover office spaces in the Kyoto West and East Towers at Bagmane Capital Business Park. The documents showed that the company previously leased the space under Google Connect Services India Pvt Ltd from February 4, 2020, to November 24, 2024. The lease was renewed through one of the company's affiliates, Google IT Services India.
Whitefield remains a strong growth corridor for office real estate, driven by infrastructure investments, metro connectivity, and robust demand from both domestic and global companies. The area is seeing strong leasing activity, with recent transactions from developers like Sumadhura Group and Brigade Group. The area is also a focus for managed office spaces, with the Sumadhura Group launching its flex space vertical Workship in Whitefield.
