In a major boost for India’s office market, Google has finalised a lease for about 57,300 square metres (617,000 square feet) of space at Atrium Place Gurugram; a development jointly owned by DLF and global investment firm Hines.
The deal ranks among the largest commercial real estate transactions in India this year, reflecting renewed confidence from multinational occupiers in the country’s office sector.
It follows another recent move by Google to secure around 51,100 square metres (550,000 square feet) at a separate Gurugram complex managed by Table Space, a flexible workspace provider.
Sources familiar with the agreement told The Economic Times that while specific financial terms remain undisclosed, the deal underscores Google’s long-term commitment to India as a key regional hub.
“Google has a big commitment to India, and to support that, it is expanding its office presence as well,” one insider said. Another noted that few developers meet Google’s extensive checklist before a lease is approved.
Significance for the Commercial Sector
The lease represents a notable turnaround for the tech company, which terminated a 65,000-square-metre (700,000-square-foot) lease in 2022 after reassessing its space requirements during the pandemic.
That earlier deal had been signed in 2020 but was shelved as remote work reshaped global office strategies.
The new transaction suggests a strategic return to large-format, purpose-built office environments — a trend that could encourage other global occupiers to reconsider their footprints in India’s prime markets.
For real estate professionals, the deal highlights two clear signals: corporate leasing appetite is strengthening, and India’s office market remains one of the most resilient in the Asia-Pacific region, driven by multinationals looking for scale, talent access and long-term cost stability.
