Further elaborating on the growth drivers and challenges in the office occupancy segment, Anshuman Magazine, Chairman and CEO, India, South East Asia, Middle East and Africa, CBRE – “Indian markets continued to have greater investment grade space in the CBDs of the different cities as prominent domestic and global corporates continued to favour investment grade space for setting up front offices in these cities. Commercial office market remains a strong growth propeller for the real estate sector and we are excited that Delhi, being a prime market, continues to witness sustained activity and retains its position amongst the Top 10 most expensive markets in the world”.
Highlighting Asia’s performance in the prime office space leasing segment, the report concluded that 6 of the world’s 10 most expensive office markets are found in Asia.

The report underlines the growing significance of talent acquisition race, driving the prime occupancy cost to newer heights. This combined with limited supply and moderate construction pipelines in most cities are the driving forces behind the price growth.
