Standard Chartered leases 7.7 lakh sq ft office space in Chennai
Deccan ChronicleChennai: In one of the largest commercial realty deals in recent times, Standard Chartered GBS is leasing 7.7 lakh square feet of office space in Chennai for its largest office globally. As per Knight Frank India, the total office transactions of the eight markets in the September quarter improved and reached 33 per cent of the 2019 quarterly average level. The uncertain business environment that followed the initial lockdown, further caused occupiers to assess their office space strategies leading many to postpone their office expansion plans till June quarter. However, with the unlocking in progress, going forward as India edges back economic recovery, the office market dynamics are also expected to improve,” said Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director, Knight Frank India.
