  • Speaking on the results, Mr. Vinod Rohira, Chief Executive Officer, said,  

“Mindspace REIT has recorded one of the strongest years of leasing as volumes surpassed 4.5msf. The increased preference for offices that offer aspirational and experiential product offerings and are maintained by best asset managers augurs well for our business. The robust hiring by IT companies and GCCs over the past 2 years coupled with actioning of return to office plans, point to a strong resurgence in demand. We are excited about fast-tracking our under-construction inventory along with realization of mark-to-market opportunity for churn space given the optimistic demand dynamics,”  stated in the press release.ends GNI SG
