Office demand in Mumbai flourished in 2023 as the city experienced a remarkable surge in office space absorption, reaching a six-year peak at 8.5 million square feet. According to a recent CBRE analysis, this increase represented an 18% year-over-year gain, exceeding pre-Covid levels, demonstrating a notable change in the real estate structure of the city.
The major driving force were the tech giants who accounted for a huge 46% of the leasing activity. Their adaptability and creative work culture drove the market ahead, surpassing forecasts and establishing a new standard for the city's preferences for office space. It was promptly followed by the non-SEZ category at 45% and SEZs at 9%, according to a study released on Thursday by CBRE South Asia.
Contrary to conventional expectations, the October–December 2023 period saw the emergence of small-sized deals, or places less than 10,000 square feet, as the primary driver behind the thriving commercial real estate activity.
Mumbai's remarkable expansion is consistent with a growing trend in office property markets across the country. According to the CBRE study, there was a strong gross absorption of 61.6 million square feet in 2023 across nine key cities in India. This is a noteworthy 7% growth and the highest level of leasing activity in four years since the peak in 2019.
Furthermore, development completions reached a record high in 2023, with sustainability taking the front stage. Roughly 50% of the recently constructed properties have received green certification, demonstrating the developers' diligent pursuit of ecologically sustainable methods.
The majority of leasing activity was driven by BFSI organizations, IT companies, and engineering and manufacturing entities, primarily from Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai. This indicates the diversified demand for office spaces across industries.
While large-sized deals marginally increased, smaller to medium-sized transactions dominated the landscape, capturing an impressive 84% share. This shows a shift in preferences and strategies among businesses.
With a notable uptick in office leasing during the last quarter of 2023, led mostly by BFSI and technology companies, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Chennai maintained their lead in quarterly leasing activities.
The most notable factor of this surge was the significant leadership exhibited by domestic firms, particularly in the flexible space operator and BFSI segments, underscoring their pivotal role in shaping the evolving office space landscape in India.
