TIL Desk/Business/New Delhi/ New Delhi’s Connaught Place has slipped one position to become tenth most expensive office location in the world with an annual rent of USD 111 per sq ft, according to property consultant CBRE. Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex is at 16th rank while Nariman Point is at 30th position in the CBRE’s latest report Global Prime Office Rent H1 2017.
“Delhi’s Connaught Place is the world’s tenth most expensive office location with an annual prime rent of USD 111 per sq ft. The ranking has fallen by one position, moving down to tenth from ninth in March 2017,” CBRE said in a statement.
CBRE’s Chairman India and South-East Asia, Anshuman Magazine said the commercial office market remained a bright spot for the real estate sector in the country on the back of better demand, steady lease rentals and continued global investors’ interest. Delhi and Mumbai continue to dominate in the overall leasing of office space, he added.
“Connaught Place over the years has emerged as one of the most sought after office spaces in the world where the global and regional head offices of world’s major companies reside.
“In spite of having limited supply of prime office space, its location in the heart of India’s capital, coupled with great infrastructure and connectivity to other parts of the city, makes it an ideal location for any business to be in,” Magazine said.
