IT Park Areas

Now let’s talk about office on rent in IT parks in this part of world. Chandigarh IT Park is dominated by big IT companies & its expensive. No doubt that open green areas, wide clean roads & Shivalik foothills provide perfect scenic view with calm environment but expensive office space rental is hallmark. Not everyone can afford that. Where as Mohali Industrial Areas are becoming choice for IT Companies as rentals are relatively low, despite of having on International Airport Road, proximity to Chandigarh and having many collages in vicinity. Its easy to commute to Mohali Industrial Area. But, parking is a big headache there as developers are not providing sufficient parking space for office on rent in Mohali.

Malls for Office Space

Mr. Ashish Arora CEO of Business Spaces & owner of Co-Working WorkZone shared that Chandigarh Industrial Area is becoming hub for office Spaces as Centra Mall & City Emporium Mall is leasing out more for office space on rent rather than shops, whereas, Elante Mall Offices, Berkeley’s Office Mall and Godrej Properties are offering developed office space. Office on rent in mall is becoming fashion but CAM ( common area management charges ) plays havoc on monthly bill. CAM increases base rent, but those who are looking for lush clean office space with food & cafe facilities in vicinity, still opt for office space on rent in Chandigarh Malls.
