The company plans to develop a premium Grade A office project on the site, with a built-up area of approximately 1.5 million sq ft and an estimated gross development value of Rs 20 billion.

These projects, which are at various stages of design and construction, will be distributed across cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Trivandrum, and Kochi.

Currently, the company manages 10 million sq ft of office space. Of the new developments, nearly half will be based in Bengaluru and are expected to include large-scale office parks across key urban centres.
