They are looking at more flexibility in leases too. Occupiers' decisions are quicker than last year, with a focus on new-generation offices. Re-entry of employees has started in India, with many companies planning to get back more employees from January 2022. This will prompt occupiers to make leasing decisions quicker," said Ramesh Nair, Chief Executive Officer | India & Managing Director, Market Development, at Colliers India."Occupiers are gradually getting back to their offices, but high-density office space may be a trend that has peaked. COVID-19 may also accelerate a trend from leasing office space in the CBD to suburbs.
