Global financial services giant JP Morgan Services India Private Limited has signed a landmark office lease in Mumbai’s Powai, one of the city’s fastest-growing commercial hubs. The company has leased 2.71 lakh square feet of premium office space at One Downtown Central (formerly CRISIL House), with a rental commitment exceeding ₹600 crore over the next five years.
The lease spans the ground floor and floors three to nine, including 312 car parking spaces, with a starting monthly rent of around ₹9.23 crore and an annual 5% escalation. A security deposit exceeding ₹55 crore was also paid. The lease was facilitated by Cowrks India Pvt Ltd, backed by Brookfield Properties, while Kairos Properties Pvt Ltd serves as the landlord.
This deal underscores Powai’s rise as a premier business district, attracting multinational firms seeking Grade-A office space. Other strategic hubs such as Whitefield and Sarjapur Road are also witnessing increased demand for premium commercial properties. Investors are exploring Featured Projects in Whitefield for both high-end office and residential opportunities.
Industry experts note that such large-scale leases reinforce Mumbai’s position as a hub for multinational operations. With Powai’s excellent connectivity, infrastructure, and thriving business ecosystem, it continues to attract marquee deals, complementing other notable projects across India’s metro cities.
JP Morgan’s expansion highlights the growing need for modern, flexible Grade-A office spaces, reflecting strong investor confidence in India’s commercial real estate market.
