Office space leasing increased by 89 pc QoQ in Q3 2021: Colliers

Bengaluru, Oct 21 (UNI) The top six cities of India registered about 10.3 million sq ft of office gross absorption in Q3, 2021, the highest volume recorded since Q1, 2020, it was reported on Thursday.
After the second devastating wave of the pandemic in the second quarter, the overall absorption numbers rose by 89 per cent QoQ as occupiers planned for a gradual re-entry and closed deals that were on-hold, leveraging tenant favourable market dynamics.
IT sector driven cities Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Pune accounted for 62 per cent of gross absorption in Q3, 2021. With an increased number of fully vaccinated employees returning to their workplaces coupled with fewer restrictions on mobility, the office market is showing strong signs of revival.
"The quarter has brought in much-needed cheer for the market. Large deals made a comeback, led by demand from flexible workspace operators. Decision-making by occupiers has become quicker than in 2020.
"We can expect the optimism to strengthen over the upcoming quarters, provided there is no third wave. Occupiers who were exploring renewal options have begun looking for fresh space," Asia Colliers' Ramesh Nair said.
After an average performance in Q2 2021, Hyderabad emerged as one of the resilient cities in terms of demand supply dynamics. For the first time, Hyderabad had the maximum share in leasing volume at 2.5 million sq ft surpassing Bengaluru, as occupiers focussed on large block deals and even leasing entire buildings.
BFSI and Flexible workplace sectors had the maximum share in leasing volume accounting for 66 per cent of the total demand in Hyderabad.
Rai Durg saw the maximum leasing traction accounting for 53 per cent of the demand, while Hitec City contributed 40 per cent. On a YTD basis, Bengaluru continues to be the market leader.
The quarter saw the highest supply since Q2 2020 at 10.8 million sq feet in Q3 2021 with Hyderabad and Pune contributing the maximum share at 29 per cent and 25 per cent respectively.
The second wave did not have a major impact on the construction activity. Developers continued to focus on leasing existing stock and received OCs for buildings with pre-commitments.
