Manoj Bajpyee leases office space

Bollywood star Manoj Bajpayee and his wife Shabana Bajpayee have leased two commercial properties in Mumbai’s Andheri West for a monthly rent of ₹10.9 lakh for the next five years, as per property documents accessed by CRE Matrix, a real estate data analytics firm.

The office is located in the Lotus Signature building on Veer Desai Road. Each unit offers 1,905 sq ft of RERA carpet area, totalling 3,810 sq ft. The deal was officially registered on April 3, 2025.

Barcode Influencer Marketing Pvt Ltd has leased the property and has paid a security deposit of ₹43.7 lakh. The lease also includes a 5% rent increase, which means the monthly rent will reach ₹13.3 lakh by the fifth year. The lease provides six designated parking spaces and a fit-out period of 75 days for renovation and refurbishment.

Abhishek Kiran Gupta, the CEO and co-founder of CRE Matrix, highlighted that this deal, totalling ₹7.26 crore in rent over the license period, shows how important Andheri West has become as a commercial hotspot in Mumbai.

He added that certain Grade A commercial developments might fetch a significant premium over other projects in the same region, even if location is still a major determinant of the per square foot rate. He believes that in the future, project significance will take precedence over location.

Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel for ₹539 Crore

Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association Sells 3.84-Acre Borivali Land Parcel

In a notable land deal in Mumbai’s western suburbs, the Mumbai Khadi & Village Industries Association (MKVIA) has sold a 3.84-acre land parcel in Borivali West for over ₹539.25 crore. The buyer, a local real estate developer, secured the land through a competitive bidding process and has already made an upfront payment of ₹52.25 crore, with the remaining ₹487 crore to be paid in tranches linked to construction milestones.

This transaction follows MKVIA’s strategic move to convert the land from Occupancy Class-II (a restricted tenure requiring government approvals for transfer) to freehold status. The conversion, completed in April and May 2024, involved a premium payment of ₹51.7 crore to the government, granting the trust full ownership rights and enabling the sale.

According to documents accessed via real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, the final payment under the agreement is due upon receipt of the full occupation certificate or within 1,620 days from the registration of the conveyance deed – whichever is earlier. Flexibility for revising timelines has also been built into the contract.

The deal was finalized after receiving clearance from the Charity Commissioner under the Maharashtra Public Trusts Act, with approvals granted through four separate orders dated January 8, 2025.

This transaction reflects a broader trend of large-scale land acquisitions in Mumbai as developers aggressively pursue redevelopment and mixed-use opportunities in high-potential urban zones. With sustained demand for both residential and commercial spaces, land parcels in key localities like Borivali are attracting significant investor interest.

India’s land market is witnessing strong momentum across metro cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, and Bengaluru, where developers are focusing on luxury housing and mixed-use formats. Tier-2 cities are also emerging as hotspots for residential, plotted, and warehousing projects, driven by infrastructure development and evolving urban needs.

Mumbai’s real estate market continues to witness high-value land transactions. Recent deals, especially in prime suburbs, highlight the growing demand for residential and commercial projects.

In a landmark development for India’s logistics and warehousing industry, IndoSpace has leased out more than 700,000 sq ft of Grade-A warehousing space to solar PV modules manufacturer RenewSys India Pvt Ltd. The facility is located in Khalapur, near Mumbai. This deal marks the largest logistics transaction of the year so far.

This long-term lease, exceeding 10 years, signals an increasing demand for high-quality logistics infrastructure from India’s green energy sector.

According to documents accessed through CRE Matrix, the rent commencement date, including a three-month rent-free window, is set for November 25, 2025.

RenewSys India, a leading integrated solar PV modules manufacturer, will pay an initial rental of ₹1.44 crore per month for the facility. The lease agreement includes structured rental escalations – a 15% hike after the first 36 months, followed by a 5% annual increase for the remaining term.

The lease also incorporates a five-year lock-in for IndoSpace and a full-term lock-in for RenewSys. This highlights a strong mutual commitment and operational continuity.

Common area maintenance (CAM) charges have been set at ₹1.06 per sq ft per month, with an annual escalation of 5%. During the fit-out phase, CAM charges are significantly lower, at just ₹0.25 per sq ft per month.

This leasing deal is not just about space – it’s about strategic expansion. RenewSys will use the Khalapur facility as a key logistics hub to support its manufacturing units in Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Panvel. The company continues to scale its operations to meet both domestic and international solar energy demands.

The deal underlines the growing popularity of India’s warehousing and logistics sector. With industries like renewable energy, e-commerce, manufacturing, and 3PL driving demand, long-term leasing has become more common. This reflects tenant confidence and market evolution.

Backed by favorable government policies, infrastructure upgrades, and a robust consumption-driven economy, India’s logistics sector is now aligning with global standards – ready to power the next wave of industrial growth.
