Mumbai Sees 64% Surge in Office Leasing in First Half of 2024
Real Estate Mumbai:According to a report by CBRE South Asia, Mumbai's office space leasing reached 3.8 million square foot in the first half of 2024, marking a 64.1% increase compared to the same period in 2023. The report highlighted that Mumbai office space take-up was driven by small-sized deals during the period. On a Pan-India basis, overall office leasing remained strong with gross office leasing at 32.8 msf during the same period, recording an increase of 14% year-on-year across nine cities.

Bangalore led office space absorption, accounting for about one-fourth of the total leasing during the period, followed by Delhi-NCR at 16%, Chennai at 14%, Pune and Hyderabad each contributing 13%. Technology companies witnessed the highest share and accounted for 28% of the total office leasing, followed by flexible space operators at 16%, BFSI firms at 15%, engineering and manufacturing at 9% and research, consulting & analytics firms at 8% during the period.

The report mentioned that the office sector is expected to witness continued demand for quality office space in the second half of 2024 as occupiers continue to expand and solidify their presence. Further, it projected that the second half of the year will see a steady supply of high-quality office spaces, with Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Delhi-NCR leading in project completions.

Rising enterprise demand is driving growth in flexible workspaces, with occupiers integrating flexible office space into their portfolio as part of their 'Core + Flex' strategies. Workplaces are transforming into collaborative hubs, driving the anticipated growth of flexible space stock to 80 msf by the end of 2024.

GCCs remain key drivers of office demand, with an anticipated 20% increase in GCCs by 2025 signaling substantial growth potential for the Indian office market. About 67% of GCCs plan to expand their office portfolios by more than 10% over the next two years.
