Global scientific research publishing company Springer Nature Group has leased an office space spread across 1.1 lakh square feet (sq ft) valued at approximately $17 million, for 10 years in Pune.
The transaction was initiated post-COVID when Springer Nature recognised the need for a futuristic workspace that prioritises the well-being of its employees and facilitates a safe return to office.
JLL acted as the exclusive partner in this transaction.
The office space, located in Kharadi’s Gera Commerzone, will span two floors of the 7,00,000 sq ft building, and Springer Nature has the option to take up an additional 56,000 sq ft for further expansion.
“Kharadi is now a preferred location for corporate occupiers owing to the excellent social infrastructure, top-notch schools, hospitals and residential communities, coupled with excellent connectivity and proximity to the airport. The tenant profile is remarkable, featuring a diverse range of large multinational corporations from the BFSI, IT/ITeS, e-commerce and engineering sectors, among others,” said Sanjay Bajaj, managing director, Pune, JLL.
