WeWork India Renews Lease on Massive 1.4 Lakh Sq Ft Space in Goregaon East, Mumbai
Real Estate Mumbai:In a significant move, WeWork India has renewed its lease on a massive 1.4 lakh sq ft space in Goregaon East, Mumbai, according to documents accessed by Propstack, a real estate data firm. The managed space operator has leased the space from listed developer Nesco at its office complex for a period of five years, effective August 1.

WeWork India, which is majority-owned by the Bengaluru-based real estate developer Embassy Group, will pay a rent of Rs 162 per sq ft per month, amounting to a rent of Rs 27 crore per year. The lease agreement includes two escalations of 12 percent each, to be implemented in August 2025 and August 2028, respectively.

Nesco's Goregaon East office complex, known as Nesco IT Park, is a prominent hub for several tenants, including professional services networks, technology firms, and others. The complex also features a large exhibition facility.

Despite sharing its name, WeWork India operates independently of WeWork Inc, an American co-working space provider that faced bankruptcy proceedings in the United States before being taken over by property management software firm Yardi Systems in May. WeWork Inc held a 27 percent stake in WeWork India, which it received permission to exit and sell to the Embassy Group in June.

WeWork India currently manages around 8 million sq ft of office spaces across cities like Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, National Capital Region, and others. The renewal at Nesco comes on the heels of WeWork India's announcement to acquire a total of 1,40,000 sq ft of space in Bengaluru and Noida. The company plans to further expand its managed office spaces and co-working spaces, despite facing stiff competition from players like Awfis, Smartworks, Synq.work, and others.

information on Embassy Group, a Bengaluru-based real estate developer, reveals that the company plans to take WeWork India public over the next two years and sell part of its stake to other investors. Embassy Group will retain the WeWork brand by paying a 2% 'franchise fee' to WeWork Inc, according to a report by The Economic Times.
