Future plans
“This healthy leasing, especially at our Navi Mumbai Parks post the SEZ policy reform, has encouraged us to prepone the future development at our Airoli East Park,” said Chief Executive Officer Ramesh Nair. He said it planned to build an additional 1.5 million sq ft at Mindspace Airoli East for ₹900 crore. It would be investing ₹3,500 crore over the next three-four years on new developments.
“This, alongside our ongoing projects totalling 4.4 million sq ft and the potential lease up of 2.3-million-sq-ft vacant space, positions us for significant growth ahead,” he added. Around 1.3 million sq ft will be completed in the current fiscal, comprising one million sq ft in Commerzone Kharadi and three lakh sq ft in the data centre at Airoli West.
