Under the new lease agreement, RMZ will provide approximately 0.3 million square feet of commercial space, with options for further expansion. RMZ Corporation currently has 21 million square feet of office projects under construction and aims to expand its office portfolio to 50 million square feet across six cities over the next 2-3 years by adding an additional 30 million square feet of office space.

He noted that this demand is driven by both established enterprises looking for multifunctional hubs and newer players seeking state-of-the-art infrastructure.
