Transaction Profile
Since Koramangala is a start-up hub for new companies as well as VC-funded companies, available spaces tend to lease very quickly, amidst a high-demand, low-supply market. In this environment, negotiations can be challenging.
Solution
- “GR Icon” is a new building, located in the heart of Koramangala with all other facilities and conveniences within reach.
- Fortunately, many of the expansions have been able to be accomodated while the client is in the building.
- In the near future, the client will occupy the entire, five-floor, 25,000 square foot building.
