Grade A Office | 9,200 sqft | Gurugram
Cyber City in summer 2023 was hot. Post-COVID, companies were returning to offices, but large contiguous blocks (8,000+ sqft) were scarce and priced premium. Buildings like BPTP Park Centra and Spaze IT Park were all quoting ₹120-130/sqft for Grade A.
We knew Spaze Tower 5 had a 9,200 sqft block sitting empty for 18 months (previous tenant had cash flow issues). The property manager was desperate to fill it. Instead of negotiating rate, we understood their pain: vacancy looked bad on scorecard, and they needed occupancy before year-end.
We structured it differently:
Annual rent after deal: ₹101.2L (vs ₹115L at ₹125/sqft market). Annual savings: ₹13.8L. Over 3 years: ₹41.4L.
They moved in November 2023. Team scaled to 95 people by Q2 2024.

Dharuhera Manufacturing Facility
Industrial Warehouse | 28,000 sqft | Gurgaon Suburban
Industrial space in Delhi proper (Okhla, Wazirpur) was expensive and getting pricier. They'd heard about Dharuhera as cheaper, but didn't trust the infrastructure. Power supply? Lease agreements? Landlords who understand manufacturing?
We didn't just show them 3 options. We vetting—visited 6 facilities over a week, checked DG capacity with electricians (not just asking), walked loading docks, verified SPCB compliance, asked about previous tenants and why they left.
Found a 2019 industrial park near NH8 built specifically for manufacturing. Previous tenant had vacated. DG capacity was 500+ kW (confirmed). New property manager eager to fill units.
Plus: DG capacity guaranteed in writing, dedicated transformer for their load, flexible loading dock hours.
5-Year Savings Breakdown:
Rate savings: ₹8.4L/year × 5 = ₹42L
Escalation savings (3% vs 6% typical): ₹10.5L over 5 years
Infrastructure certainty: ₹8-10L value
Total: ₹60L+
They moved in April 2024. Within 6 months, scaled production. Hired 15 more people.

Connaught Place Consulting Firm
Premium CBD Office | 10,000 sqft | With Lease Restructuring
They'd grown from 110 to 150 people in the same 10,000 sqft. They needed more space. But moving meant losing Connaught Place prestige (critical for their Fortune 500 client base). Staying meant ₹100L/year rent increase.
Instead of negotiating the same lease at a lower rate, we restructured it:
Core 10,000 sqft @ ₹125/sqft (17% discount from ₹150) locked for 3 years
+ Flexible 2,000 sqft option @ ₹135/sqft (for growth)
+ Landlord fit-out contribution: ₹20L
Why the landlord agreed: A renovated, locked tenant was worth more than trying to re-lease after they left. Plus, 3-year certainty (vs year-to-year negotiation).
They stayed in Connaught Place. Scaled from 150 to 180 people using the flexible 2,000 sqft option. Avoided moving costs (₹50-75L) and operational disruption (2+ months).
Lease renewed in 2026 at preferential rates (because of their stability and performance).

Aerocity E-commerce Company
Grade B Office | 12,000 sqft | South Delhi
Building had weak internet infrastructure. For a tech company running 24/7 order processing, this was a dealbreaker. Landlord said: "Install your own ISP." Company would absorb ₹20L infrastructure cost.
We flipped the problem. "If you want a tech tenant, you need tech infrastructure. This is standard now."
Landlord realized: if he installed fiber, he could market the building to other tech tenants. The investment wasn't just for this company—it was a building upgrade.
Dual ISP redundancy, dedicated telecom corridor, building becomes fiber-ready for future tenants.
Annual rent: ₹192L. Market rate: ₹228L. Annual savings: ₹36L.
Plus: Infrastructure investment avoided (₹20L), future expansion @ ₹165/sqft locked from Year 3.
4-year total value: ₹164L

Saket Design Studio
Office | 5,500 sqft → 8,500 sqft | With Space Restructuring
Option 1: Move (₹73L/year increase + disruption). Option 2: Restructure current space (use vertical space, optimize layout). Option 3: Mix of both.
We analyzed their footprint: 40% was unused conference rooms, open seating was inefficient. We proposed:
• Reduce conference rooms from 8 to 3 (use breakout zones)
Create focused work area + collaborative zone
• Add mezzanine for storage/library
• Redesign seating to fit 55-60 people in same 5,500 sqft
Restructured in Q1 2024. Accommodated 55+ designers in optimized 5,500 sqft. Year 2, expanded to adjacent 3,000 sqft. Total: 8,500 sqft @ ₹81L/year blended.
Savings Calculation:
vs Moving to new market-rate space (₹135/sqft): ₹73L/year increase avoided
vs Moving costs & 2-month disruption: ₹60-75L avoided
Mezzanine + renovation value: ₹95L
Total 3-year restructure value: ₹275L

Tauru Warehouse - Logistics
Industrial Warehouse | 25K→40K sqft | With Expansion Option
If they signed a 5-year lease for 30,000 sqft and growth slowed, they'd bleed rent. If they only leased 20,000 sqft and growth continued, they'd outgrow quickly. They needed a middle path.
We found a facility in Tauru with builder planning 60,000 sqft total (Phase 1: 25K built, Phase 2: 35K planned).
Phase 1 (Year 1-3): 25,000 sqft @ ₹23/sqft (committed)
Phase 2 (Year 4+): Right to expand to 15,000 sqft @ ₹24/sqft (locked in now, exercisable from Year 3)
Builder got: guaranteed occupancy for Phase 1 (cash flow), high probability of Phase 2 expansion (tenant is already there), and locked rate meant lower vacancy risk in Phase 2.
5-Year Total: Years 1-3 @ ₹57.5L + Years 3-5 @ ₹93.5L = ₹279.5L actual cost vs ₹359L at market rates.
Company grew 45% YoY. By end of Year 2, triggered expansion option. Moved to 40,000 sqft. 5-year savings: ₹79.5L.

Golf Course Road Luxury Showroom
Grade A Showroom | 7,800 sqft | Premium Location
We identified a Grade-A building on GCR with 7,800 sqft vacant for 14 months. Previous tenant (financial services firm) had backed out due to downsizing. Building management was desperate but trying to save face. They kept quoting ₹200/sqft (market rate).
"This space has cost you ₹15L+ every month in lost rent. A luxury showroom is a trophy tenant—it builds brand value for your building. What if we structure a deal that fills occupancy AND locks in long-term stability?"
Locked 3-year term + renewal option @ ₹155/sqft. Exclusivity clause: no competing luxury auto brands in building.
Showroom thrived. Dealership opened adjacent service center (3,000 sqft) @ ₹148/sqft (preferential rate).
Total footprint: 10,800 sqft @ blended ₹149/sqft = ₹161.4L/year
Market rate for 10,800 sqft: ₹216L (at ₹200/sqft)
3-year savings: ₹54.6L/year × 3 = ₹164L + ₹18L fit-out = ₹182L

Nauroji Nagar Coworking Community
Startup Hub | 35 Desks + 5 Meeting Rooms
Coworking is volatile. Startup demand fluctuates. Landlord's concern: "If you default, I have 50 angry companies on my property."
"One reliable anchor tenant manages all 50 sub-tenants. You collect rent from one entity, not 50. One point of contact if issues arise. It's cleaner than a corporate tenant that leaves and creates 6-month vacancy."
Month 1-3: 60% occupancy = ₹8.1L/month revenue
Month 4-6: 80% occupancy = ₹10.8L/month
Month 7+: 95% occupancy = ₹12.8L/month
Full occupancy revenue: ₹13.5L/month (₹162L/year)
Annual profit: ₹72-84L

Saket Corporate Flex Space
Managed Coworking | 12K→16K sqft | Corporate Focus
Standard coworking = startups. Corporate flex space = different beast. We positioned this as: "One reliable Fortune 500-backed operator manages all corporate sub-tenants. You get occupancy, stability, and premium rates."
Open desks: ₹14,000/seat/month (lower end of ₹12-18k corporate range)
Meeting rooms: ₹40,000/room/month
Phone booths: ₹8,000/booth/month
Month 1-3: 70% desks = ₹6.74L/month revenue
Month 4-9: 85% occupancy = ₹8.12L/month
Month 10+: 95% occupancy = ₹9.02L/month
Year 2 Expansion: +4,000 sqft @ ₹205/sqft (even better rate)
Total after expansion: 16,000 sqft @ blended ₹208/sqft

Dwarka Insurance Back-Office
Office | 6,500 sqft | Lease Renewal Restructuring
Building ownership changed to PE-backed fund (ruthless on pricing). Moving meant: 250+ employees, tons of equipment, compliance disruption. Costs: ₹50-75L + 2 months lost productivity.
Instead of fighting over per-sqft rate, we restructured the lease to match actual usage:
Core space: 6,000 sqft @ ₹82/sqft (locked 3 years)
Variable space: 2,000 sqft @ ₹95/sqft (footprint adjustment)
Efficiency clause: If they downsize, only pay for core
Growth option: Additional space @ ₹80/sqft (preferential rate)
Core 6,000 sqft locked (stable cash flow) + Variable 2,000 sqft at premium rate (₹95/sqft) = better economics than single ₹80/sqft rate for all space. Plus, if they grew, additional space at ₹80/sqft was premium vs market.
Insurance company restructured operations Q4 2024. Downsize to 6,500 sqft average (core + partial variable). Current spend: ₹55L/year.
vs Market for 6.5K sqft (₹100/sqft): ₹65L
Annual savings: ₹10L
