Delhi commercial real estate prices soar | INRnews

New Delhi, November 18, 2006 : With no new office supply in the New Delhi CBD (Connaught Place) and surrounding locations, demand has clearly outstripped supply. The renewed eviction drive by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, against unauthorized usage and development, has put further pressure on the already soaring values. The CBD vacancy rate is presently under 2%, which is further constrained by lack of Grade A office space and has resulted in an annual rental escalation of approximately 95% in the CBD and capital value appreciation of close to 140% according to real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield.

Availability of authorized office space in the South Delhi micro markets is equally inadequate. With most of the space already leased out, the vacancy rate is close to 3%-4%. Annual rental escalation in this market has been approximately 65% with capital value appreciation close to 95%.

Suburban markets like Noida and Gurgaon have been witnessing a similar trend. Prime buildings in Gurgaon reflect a vacancy rate of less than 2% and prices have risen by approximately 80% since the last one year. Although the NOIDA Authority has released additional land for private development and this may lead to an estimated 2 million sq.ft. of Grade A office space being available, completion is still 16-18 months away.

Rates across markets have risen due to the commencement of the metro rail network in certain locations and the plans to connect other destinations within Delhi. In addition, the MCD's eviction drive has created further pressure on availability of legitimate office space in and around Delhi, given the limited availability of space.

Lease rentals and capital values are expected to further strengthen across all markets in Delhi, during the next quarter. This rise will also affect suburban locations like Noida and Gurgaon as well.
