Overall, the index recorded 1.1 per cent YoY growth in the last quarter of 2017, propelled by solid economic performances across the Asia-Pacific region. This was primarily driven by rising rents in 12 of the markets over the quarter. Further, rentals across at least 16 out of the 20 markets tracked, are either set to appreciate or stay stable, the report added. Demand in co-working and technology-related spaces is expected a play a major part, in pushing rents up.
Speaking on the report findings, Samantak Das, chief economist and national director-research, Knight Frank India, said, “Rental growth continues to be strong across prime office markets in India, on account of an ongoing supply crunch in the country. This, coupled with strong occupier demand, is expected to drive the rentals up in the next 12 months in the prime office markets of Mumbai and Bengaluru. However, we expect rental growth to remain stable in Connaught Place.”
