In a major strategic move M3M is looking at keeping the premium office space as owned asset class to focus better on providing the finest workspaces to the rising demand in office space segment this year. M3M today has an impressive portfolio of 56 projects spread across Gurugram, Noida and Panipat with a staggering area of 6 mln sq. ft.

Flex workspace market is expected to grow from 55 million sq. ft. to 100-140 million sq. ft. by 2030. “The Golf Course Extension Road and Udyog Vihar locations are pivotal for businesses looking for connectivity and convenience,” said Sanjay Choudhary, Founder & CEO, Incuspaze. The transaction is followed by 600,000 sq. ft. company leased last quarter across three cities and flexible space operator continue to expand on the back of growing demand.

Incuspaze operates across 44 locations in 18 cities with a total portfolio of 3 million sq. ft. “Following the resilience shown by the office sector, we foresee a positive outlook for 2024.

The rise of flex office spaces in India has been a significant trend in recent years. One of the major advantages of flex office spaces is the ability to scale up or down as per the business requirements.

“M3M has been developing its commercial portfolio keeping all our clients’ requirements in mind. All our commercial properties are best in class and situated at strategic locations in NCR,” said Sudeep Bhatt, President, M3M India.

Incuspaze has also leased 350,000 sq. ft. in Gurgaon’s Udyog Vihar in addition to 150,000 sq. ft. in Pune and 60,000 sq. ft. in Jaipur as it is looking to add 1.5 million sq. ft. in 2024.

Additionally, traditional office spaces in prime locations often come with high rents and long-term lease agreements. Flex office spaces offer a more cost-effective alternative, as businesses can rent only the space they need for a specific period, avoiding hefty upfront costs and long-term commitments.
