Brookfield Properties has announced a built-to-suit (BTS) lease agreement with JPMorganChase for an upcoming ~1.3 million sq ft office campus in Powai, Mumbai. The development will be built on a 6-acre site recently acquired by a Brookfield Asset Management private real estate fund and will be developed under an agreement between the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority and a Brookfield-led venture with partner B S Sharma.

Scheduled for completion by 2030, the campus will consolidate a significant portion of JPMorganChase’s Mumbai workforce into a state-of-the-art workplace. As majority owner, Brookfield Asset Management will commit substantial capital to deliver a Grade A office tower built to market-leading sustainability standards, including sourcing 100 per cent green power. The transaction underscores India’s positioning as a leading global capability centre (GCC) hub.

Brookfield Properties operates about 55 million sq ft of office space across seven Indian cities, with a significant presence in Powai’s integrated live-work-play ecosystem. CBRE acted as real estate advisor, while Khaitan & Co served as transaction advisor.
