Net office space leasing jumps 2 times during January-September in 7 cities

Net leasing of office space jumped over 2-fold in January-September across top seven cities to 30.26 million square feet, but is unlikely to breach the pre-COVID level this year, according to JLL India. Net leasing stood at only 14.63 million square feet in the corresponding period of the last year across seven major cities, as the demand was adversely impacted because of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns. With the opening up of the offices and the overall economy, the demand for workspace has bounced back. Nevertheless, the net office leasing is unlikely to cross the record absorption achieved in 2019 -- the pre-COVID year -- at 47.9 million square feet. Net absorption is calculated as the new floor space occupied less the floor space vacated. Floor space that is pre-committed is not considered to be absorbed until it is physically occupied. As per the JLL India data, the net leasing of office space in Bengaluru rose 45 per cent in January-September to 7.84 million square feet
