The agreement included an option to lease an additional 1.97 lakh sq ft, expanding the deal size to nearly 3.30 lakh sq ft. The estimated total rental value, reaching around Rs 800 crore, positions it among India's largest co-working office space lease deals. This strategic move reflects Table Space's significant role in the evolving workspace landscape, contributing to India's office space market.
In a major deal with real estate developer Runwal, managed workspace provider Table Space was able to secure a long-term lease of over 1.31 lakh sq ft in the developer's commercial tower in the vibrant suburb of Andheri, Mumbai. The term is more than ten years, and the total rental payment is more than Rs 333 crore. What makes this deal even more substantial is the provision enabling Table Space to potentially expand its lease by an additional 1.97 lakh sq ft, bringing the total deal size to an impressive 3.30 lakh sq ft.
The Runwal R Square, a Grade A commercial development spanning 1.1 million sq ft, sits strategically on Andheri-Kurla Road, near the international and domestic airports. Its 14-storey office tower, nearing completion, boasts a generous carpet area of 50,367 sq ft on each floor.
Table Space Technologies' innovative approach to office space will see its new premises span two floors initially, with an option to extend to five floors. The company's current portfolio surpasses 9.5 million sq ft, inclusive of this new lease. Across seven key cities in India, Table Space's portfolio accommodates over 75,000 seats, with the newly leased centre expected to be operational by September, offering a capacity of around 1,500 seats.
In a parallel strategic move, A major flexible office lease transaction was recently completed by Table Space Technologies in Bengaluru, wherein it leased 3.5 lakh sq ft to Schneider Electric IT Business India and signed Microsoft for an additional 300,000 sq ft in the same property.
This agreement is similar to WeWork's historic lease of a whole 16-story commercial tower in Mumbai's business district, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), for a monthly rental of Rs 4.3 crore, when considering the country's active office space market.
