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.

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.
