Our portfolio has a well staggered lease expiry profile with opportunity to capture an attractive mark-to-market spread created through market growth over past several years. We have leased and renewed 751,000 SF of space of which 216,000 SF is in our REIT Assets and 535,000 SF in our Identified Assets in the current financial year. This increased demand is being driven by tenants looking to relocate and expand in Grade A assets. Our assets, in key gateway Indian cities, accounted for more than half of the net absorption in their micro-markets before the pandemic and are well-positioned to benefit from the uptick in the post-pandemic demand for office space” said Alok Aggarwal, Chief Executive Officer, Brookprop Management Services Private Limited.
