Office..!

In February, leasing activity was moderate for the office sector. Select pool of occupiers relocated from their existing offices or renewed the lease agreement on the back of uncertain macroeconomic conditions. The CBD and Eastern Suburbs submarkets witnessed healthy leasing activity and stable vacancy rates.

The projects that became operational in SBD North submarket witnessed moderate pre-commitments. The major transactions included Colgate-Palmolive (India) leasing space in Larsen & Toubro Business Park (L&T) at Powai and Sarasin-Alpen renting space in Indiabulls Finance Centre at Lower Parel.

With moderate pre-commitments, Towers A and B of the Hiranandani Business Park, along with Lighthall and Hubtown Viva in SBD North submarket became operational in the month. Rents remained unchanged as the renegotiating terms kept the pressure on the existing rentals, with the exception of few Areas in SBD Central submarket. Capital values remained stable, except for a marginal growth in Navi Mumbai submarket.


Retail..!

The month of February witnessed improved demand for high-street retail compared with the retail malls in Mumbai. The overall vacancy rate declined because of increased occupancy in select quality malls. Major transactions in February included Thomas Pink leasing space in Palladium at High Street Phoenix in Lower Parel and Hamleys renting space at Market City Kurla.

INFRASTRUCTURE ONGOING...!

Maharashtra and the central government have finally cleared all hurdles in the way of the Churchgate-Virar elevated rail corridor project for Mumbai City, according to the Chief Minister (CM) of Maharashtra.

Whilst the project will be implemented by the Railways, the Maharashtra government will acquire land, undertake relief and rehabilitation and work out the modalities for commercial exploitation of land to recover the cost of construction.
