A CBRE survey finds that four in ten Indian office occupiers are uneasy about securing quality workspace up to 2028.
A recent survey by global real‑estate services firm CBRE reveals that 40% of office occupiers in India are worried about the availability of quality office space through 2028. The respondents, representing a cross‑section of corporate tenants, cited concerns over design standards, infrastructure reliability and the ability of landlords to meet evolving workplace expectations.
The findings point to a growing mismatch between demand for premium, flexible work environments and the current supply pipeline. Companies are reportedly reassessing lease strategies, favouring spaces that offer modern amenities, robust connectivity and sustainable features.
Industry analysts say the outlook could pressure developers to accelerate delivery of higher‑grade projects and to upgrade existing stock. If the trend persists, it may shape leasing activity and investment decisions in the Indian commercial real‑estate market over the next few years.
CBRE did not disclose the total number of respondents but emphasized that the sentiment reflects a broader shift in how Indian firms view office quality as a strategic asset rather than a mere cost centre.
