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 Bhatt of 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.
