Embassy Group, announced Allianz companies as its first marquee tenant, at the state-of-the-art Embassy Taurus TechZone today. Taking up 463,704 sq. ft. of the Grade-A office space, this development records the largest single office lease transaction in the city, cementing Trivandrum as one of South India’s preferred IT/ITeS (Information Technology and IT enabled Services) destinations. The handover timeline for the tenancy is scheduled for November 2022. The 3 million sq. ft. world-class SEZ (Special Economic Zone) office space is being jointly developed by Taurus Investment Holdings India and Embassy Group in Taurus Downtown Trivandrum. Located in a renowned growth corridor 12 kilometers away from the International Airport, the expansive 21-acre integrated development will afford effortless access to food courts, banks, ATMs, daycares, and healthcare centers. The LEED Gold-rated buildings will offer quality, sustainable and energy-efficient workspaces that are equipped to meet modern challenges and will host an end-to-end building management system. Speaking on Embassy Taurus TechZone’s first marquee tenant, Aditya Virwani, COO (Chief Operating Officer), Embassy Group, said, “Allianz Companies’ lease at Embassy Taurus TechZone is the largest single office transaction of its kind in Trivandrum, and the beginning of recovery for the Indian Real Estate sector. This is a testament to how demand for large office spaces by blue chips has not been diminished by Covid-19, and we are confident that it will continue to grow. Embassy Group is poised to meet this mounting demand for Trivandrum’s booming IT, ITeS and BPM (Business Process Management) sector with our future-first, state-of-the-art and sustainability-centric office spaces.” Somesh Jauhari, CPO (Chief People Officer) for Allianz Technology India and Allianz Services India, said, “With this new space, we aim to consolidate our presence of close to two decades in Technopark, Trivandrum, across multiple buildings, by creating a modern and safe world-class working environment for our people and continuing to be a Great Place to Work™. This also reaffirms our commitment to further grow in this location that’s home to over 5,500 Allianz employees and remains one of the single largest locations for Allianz outside of Europe.” John Thomas, CEO (Chief Executive Officer), Kerala IT Parks, said, “Taurus Downtown Trivandrum is one of the landmark projects of this Government. Trivandrum is a growth center for companies looking at Tier-2 cities as an option to consolidate or expand their businesses. Allianz has shown consistent commitment to growth in Trivandrum – their decision to expand to Embassy Taurus TechZone is a big boost to Technopark's growth story.”
