The Gurugram office market is entering a new phase of development where the quality of buildings, in addition to the quantity, is becoming important. The total area of built offices in the city has exceeded 100 million square feet, while the share of high-quality office spaces belonging to major green institutions is rapidly increasing. It is precisely because of this that Gurugram is strengthening its position as one of the most sought-after and significant business centers in the country.
According to a new study by CBRE Research, Gurugram transformed from an industrial satellite town in the early 1980s into one of India's largest business and residential centers. Today, it hosts a large cluster of Fortune 500 companies, Global Capability Centers (GCCs), and IT/ITES firms in business zones such as DLF Cyber City, Golf Course Road, MG Road, and Extended Golf Course Road.
Between 2021 and the first quarter of 2026, approximately 21 million square feet of new office space was added to the city, while about 40 million square feet of space was leased during the same period. Furthermore, only international tenants participated in this leasing activity, occupying about 17 million square feet.
The report points to new trends shaping the business landscape of Gurugram. Large corporations are actively developing campus-style office projects; for example, American Express and Interglobe Aviation are creating large corporate campuses. Additionally, foreign universities are establishing their campuses in top-tier technology parks under the National Education Policy 2020.
Another growing trend is the adoption of the Development Management Agreement (DMA) model, which allows developers to create institutionally high-quality office projects without transferring land ownership rights. Projects such as HQ 27 and Pioneer One were implemented using this model, reflecting changing investment and development strategies.
