With residential property market facing multi-year slowdown, real estate developers are focusing on development of commercial real estate, particularly Grade-A premium office space which is in huge demand from corporates as well as co-working operators. The introduction of real estate investments trusts (REITs) has also given a fillip to the commercial property market, which is attracting huge investments from global and domestic institutional funds.
According to reports of various global property consultants, office space leasing across major cities stood at an all-time high in 2019.
Incorporated in 2003, Bharti Realty Ltd is a 100 per cent subsidiary of Bharti Enterprises. It aims to provide world-class developments in marquee locations. The company's offerings include a diversified product mix comprising commercial, retail and mixed-use developments.
