Growth in the Real Estate Industry is very essential and directly proportional to the growth of the country’s economy. Betterment in the infrastructure and investments will help in the generation of employment opportunities and lead to the economic growth of the country.

 

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a huge impact on the real estate industry.

The past few years were challenging and everybody had to go through hardships in one or the other way. But the year 2021 brought a glimmer of hope after half of the world’s population got vaccinated. To some extent, the spread of the virus was controlled.

 

The majority of the real estate developers anticipate a price hike up to 20% in the year 2022, keeping in mind the impact of the pandemic which led to increase in the prices of building materials. With the onset of the third wave, many developers have switched to digital platforms which boosted up online sales... 

 

The Confederation of Real Estate Developers Associations of India (CREDAI) which is the apex body of private Real Estate developers in India, conducted a survey “Real Estate Developers Sentiment Survey 2022.” As many as 1,322 realty developers took part in the survey and laid down their expectations. As per a survey, the digital transformation helped around 39% of developers and are doing pretty well with 25% of sales online

 

The Union Budget 2022-23 which is scheduled to be conferred by finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman on 1st February 2022, has ignited big expectations in the Indian Real Estate sector. Developers have urged the Government to come up with additional measures and bring in reforms to reduce the further impact of COVID-19. The developers highlighted matters concerning control over input cost, the introduction of credit input on GST, increasing availability for funding, streamlining, and faster approvals of projects.

 

Most developers have a bright outlook from the budget and expect that it will provide encouragement to the sector.

What comes to your mind when you are asked about the most beautiful place you always prefer to be at or in? 

The answer will always be “Home.” It is the place where our heart lies. And is the only place where one finds immense happiness.

No other place can make us feel safer and at peace than at home. In our life, we will visit thousands of different places but the only place that matters at the end of the day is our home.

A home is “A Home” because it is shared with the people we love and care about the most. It is the only place on earth where you can be whatever you like. You can be a chef, dancer, singer, protagonist, antagonist, etc. there are no restrictions and boundaries as nobody’s gonna judge or stop you.

Everything starts from home

When you think of buying an ideal house, it has to be something cozy and comfortable. It should possess the kind of environment where the family could live happily and comfortably. People prefer to dwell in houses as per their requirements.  

When you go on a workspace hunt; the same things guide your decision.

We all know that with the influx of globalization, the demand for workspace has escalated. Be it a small or a large business, office space is of paramount importance for the better functioning of work. 

Boosting creativity is possible only when different personalities are engaged and that happens only in the workplace. 

Every individual spends most of his/her day in the office. Over the years, we have witnessed migratory populations from diverse regions settling in urban regions. Be it internal or international, migration has always been one of the forces driving the growth of urbanization and bringing opportunities to cities and regions. 

Space hunting is never easy and we wish it was more convenient be it for business purposes or dwelling in a new house. There are numerous service providers delivering these services. FirstLease provides best-customized services and helps individuals/corporate save their time as well as money. 

Using services from professional companies gives a huge advantage as they give you the market outreach, study and mark to market prices.

FirstLease is a leading service provider delivering the best-customized commercial spaces across India. We understand the subtle business drivers behind key Real Estate decisions and have been supporting 2500+ Indian and Multinational Organizations with our services.

We truly understand the pain one undergoes while hunting office spaces.

So we are here to help you and meet your needs for perfect commercial spaces (office, coworking, retail, warehouse). Visit our website to know more about us.

Things to consider while on workspace or house hunt-

• Land- People first focus on the kind of site they want their firm or houses to be in. It solely depends on the person who is looking for the space to what kind of site he/she likes. Some want to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city while some want to stay connected to the city for business and better productivity. 
• Location and accessibility- You can renovate an apartment/ workspace but can never renovate a location once chosen. You can change almost everything else. When you go on space hunting, one should bear in mind the proximity to the workplace, the charm of the neighborhood, ease of access to hospitals, ATM machines, supermarkets, parks, shopping malls, schools, and public transportation. Remember clients and employees are families at the workplace. Make sure they reach the location without any hurdles.
• Neighborhood- Not just the home/workspaces, the neighborhood should also meet your expectations. One will be at peace only if he/she has a nice and peaceful neighborhood.
• Space- With an office or house comes lots of responsibilities. People move into spacious places which fit their lifestyle and the future. It has to fulfill the requirements of the people who are going to live and work in it. A perfect house can be a small house or a mansion and the infrastructure of an office space may small or large. It depends on how you want it to be, right from the interiors to the exteriors. Many prospective homeowners hire the services of architects to design their homes and offices based on their personal tastes and preferences.

Convenience and comfort are the basic frameworks for you to excel professionally and are critical to every individual. YOUR Home and YOUR Workplace should be a true reflection of You and Your Soul.

You will never be truly happy at home if your life at work is muddled. That's why everyone chases the mantra work-life balance.

The union budget 2022-23 which was presented by Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitharaman on 1st February 2022 focused on the enhancement of various sectors to bring growth to the country’s economy and long-term development of the country.

The main thrust was laid on Infrastructure enhancement.

Under the Gati Shakti project, National Highways will be extended by 25,000 km and the outlay for this expansion project is Rs.20,000 crore.

For the first time, the entire session was conferred by the FM on a digital tab which clearly shows the focus on digital infrastructure. Under digital infra, be it for a bank, payments, fintech innovations, or initiation in rural areas more focus will be laid on this project not only now but in the coming years too.

For urban planning, 5 centers of excellence will be designated out of the existing educational institutions.  And each center will be funded 250 crores as an endowment fund. 

There were few highlights for all the key real estate assets classes- commercial, residential, and warehousing. The new SEZ (Special Economic Zones) Act will be a significant booster for commercial real estate and can be seen as an enabler for inducing institutional capital flow in the asset class.

 

Housing & urban planning

• Rs 48, 000 crores is allotted for PM Awas Yojana.
• In 2022-23, 80 lakh houses will be completed for identified beneficiaries of PM Awas Yojana.  In rural & urban areas, 60,000 houses will be identified as beneficiaries for PM Awas Yojana.
• 60,000 crore allocated for providing access to tap water to 3.8 crore households.
• In 2022-23, 80 lakh households will be identified for the affordable housing scheme.
• Modern building by-laws will be introduced.

Union Finance Minister, push for low-cost housing ensured that Budget 2022 has delivered on expectations from the Real Estate Sector. There was a lack of new and direct highlights on the real estate sector, yet the Finance Minister overlaid that 50% of India will live in cities by the year 2047.

FirstLease Experts on Budget 2022-23

Amit Sachdeva, Head Investment consultancy at FirstLease (Commercial space provider) quoted, “as the Capital Expenditure (Capex) target has expanded by 35.4 percent — from Rs 5.54 lakh crore to Rs 7.50 lakh crore and FY23 effective Capex is now seen at Rs 10.7 lakh crore, India's growth would be highest among all major economies and we are now in a strong position to withstand challenges.”

Navraj Sharma, Head Business Development at FirstLease (Commercial space provider) added that continued focus on the affordable housing sector will help revive the construction and allied industries related to the real estate sector. He further added, “it will provide an opportunity to the economically weaker sections of the society to own a housing unit at an affordable cost.”

Gaggan Satinder Bedi, Head Transaction at FirstLease (Commercial service provider) also mentioned that the major concern area for the real estate sector has been increasing prices of raw materials and unfortunately no relief in this has been announced in the budget presentation. 

Many expectations of the real estate developers from different parts of the country were left unaddressed yet there is a glimmer of hope that the Government will consider the demand of the sector before finalizing the budget.

Earlier, the COVID-19 pandemic had turned the world of work upside down. The way people used to work has changed drastically. Everything that ever existed has evolved right from the way we live, food habits, the education system, and the world of work. The impact of this global virus pandemic is beyond description. The world has undergone a lot and seen a lot. 

 

At the onset of the Pandemic, we have witnessed changes in employment and working hours. Many people were left unemployed while some companies terminated their employees because of loss in the business. Many workers suffered job losses and many were actively in search of new jobs. Moreover, many workers had to reduce their working hours as a result of the pandemic. A decrease in the total working hours directly offered a negative impact on the market. There were huge impacts on hotels, airlines, recreational industries. 

Such dramatic ups and downs have immense effects on the global economy and existing markets.

 

Health organizations are trying their best to keep the spread of the virus at bay. Half of the world’s population has received the vaccination. As a result of which the rapid spread of COVID-19 cases declined.

During the first and second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies came up with solutions keeping in mind the adverse effects of the pandemic, the offices remained shut per government guidelines while the work continued……..

 

Work from home

Everything has pros and cons, and so does work from home. 

Working from home may be a lot more comfortable and can save one a lot of time and money since one doesn't have to commute. But working from home could bring the following drawbacks. There will be a lack of interactions with professionals and colleagues. Distraction is the main factor that affects tasks while working from home. One will not be able to concentrate with all the commotion coming from every direction. There will also be a lack of an office-like environment.

 

Work from office

Work from the office has always been productive and benefitted the culture of the company. There is a healthy work balance within the organization. All the required amenities will readily be available in the office and most importantly, there is face-to-face interaction among colleagues. Own office is built around the ethos unique to every organization, which is essential to cultivate the best practices and values in every employee and vendors

 

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has lifted COVID measures like wearing masks, withdrawing work from home, end of covid passports for entry into nightclubs and large events. All these decisions were made by the Prime Minister and the Government after seeing a fall in hospital admissions and death rates. The prime minister further added, “the virus and its variants cannot be eradicated-instead we must learn to live with COVID in the same way we live with flu.” Yet the authorities have urged people to “remain cautious” while people who have tested positive for COVID-19 are advised to self-isolate.

Lately, the national Capital has witnessed fewer COVID-19 cases thereby the Delhi government has recommended easing certain restrictions. The first starts with lifting the weekend curfew followed by the removal of the odd-even system applicable to shops in markets and malls. And also allowing private offices to function the way they did like before.

Most of the firms have continued their work from offices as the situation has improved. Things are back to normal and are operating the way everything was before the Pandemic. People no longer have to work from home and can continue to go to offices. 

Many Scientists have been making the point that COVID-19 is moving rapidly from a “Pandemic” to “Endemic” and is comparable to the common cold and normal flu. We badly need to allow the general public, particularly those in the world of work, to get back to normal work life.

 

Coworking can be the absolute solution

During times like this, coworking can be one’s solution to work in an office-like environment. 

Coworking stands as a solution, providing people with preferable workplaces.

FirstLease is India’s leading space leasing company that deals in office, retail, warehouse and provides coworking solutions.  

Coworking is best suitable for-

• Remote workers or distant workers: remote workers who usually work from home or coffee shop can rely on coworking office spaces. It will help them to fully concentrate on their work.
• Travelers: for people who don't stay at one particular place. You don’t need to worry about taking a whole office with you. All you need is to visit the nearest coworking office space, get a day pass issued and enjoy an office-like environment with all the required amenities.
• Students & Freelancers: coworking space is a boon to freelancers and students. It allows them to finish the assigned work in a continuous-time span. Moreover, it facilitates one with all the advanced resources which will not be readily available at home or in coffee shops.

Many people consider coworking will be the next new normal. The utilization of co-working is imminent for growth and brand differentiation. Over the past years, the demand for coworking office spaces has increased and we (FirstLease) expect and believe this trend will continue to offer more value to budding entrepreneurs as well as to established entrepreneurs.

It’s been 2 years of working from our respective abode. And now it's finally “the time to get back to the office.”

As per Times Now reports, several IT companies have started the procedure of calling their employees back to the Office.

Seeing the fall in the spread of COVID-19 cases, companies like Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Cognizant have asked their staff to get ready as they could be summoned back to work as early as next month.

This initiative has been taken in regards to the fall in the number of Omicron cases.

Yet companies are mindful of the hygiene work model and are making sure that their employees are fully vaccinated before getting back to the office.

 

With the COVID-19 restrictions lifted in the United Kingdom, offices have started getting busier. And same goes here in the national capital, government and private offices have started operating from offices.

In India, Haryana became the first state to lift all covid restrictions and curbs right from the end of night curfews, removal of indoor&outdoor gatherings, and full occupancy of the gyms, restaurants, clubs, bars.

 

To encourage and cheer up the workers, some companies have installed recreational areas where one can relax and chill in between breaks.

Offices are changing, besides work, more focus is laid on employees' state of mind.

“A happy employee is a productive employee”

In offices, whether we are making notes or drinking tea, we learn from listening and watching the experienced people around. 

 

‘Offices are an example of collaborative learning, where Knowledge and Learning are unlimited.”

Warehouses have a history that goes far back than what most of us assume. 

The origin of warehouses can be traced back in history from the time when early people used to create granaries to store their grains. With time, people started creating storage for storing their goods and this storage has been evolving with every development in human civilization. Since then, things started changing drastically.

Today, such storages are known as Warehouses which not only offer space to store goods but also protect the goods from different weather conditions, animals, theft, and several other factors in addition to ensuring higher sustainability of goods.

 

From Godown to Modern Warehouses, we have witnessed the great transformation of growth and scale-up in every aspect. The low-grade godowns have been replaced by pre-engineered structures which are well-insulated, ventilated, resistant to climatic conditions, with round-the-clock surveillance and standard safety guidelines.

Talking about today, warehouses have played a very important role during the COVID-19 pandemic and have been considered an “essential services” sector. When most of the sectors were affected by this pandemic, the e-commerce industry was not at all affected but it proceeded way ahead because of tech-enablement. 

Tech-enablement has become the new normal for warehouses across the world.  

The demand for warehouses escalated after the majority of the population shifted to e-commerce for buying and selling of goods & services. The e-commerce boom in India, the sudden shift to online shopping have attracted huge capital and will continue to contribute to the growth of the country's economy in the future.

Today’s warehouses are modern, technology-driven, and have become the backbone of the rapidly growing e-commerce industry in India. The evolution in science and technology has empowered the warehouse and logistic industry to emerge itself into a high-performance and impeccably competitive sector. It is possible to track shipments, conduct smooth operations and distributions of the stock with the help of modern and advanced technology.

Below are some of the positive outlooks from the Warehousing industry:

• Growth in the retail and manufacturing industry
• Domestic consumption of goods and services
• Upsurge in country’s economy.

 

FirstLease is India’s leading space leasing solution provider and has been delivering the best-customized services for more than a decade. We provide a Complete spectrum of end-to-end solutions for all types of warehouses as per our client's requirements.

You can list your warehouses or search for warehouses at any desired geographical location across the country. You just need to register/login to www.firstlease.in and enjoy the benefits FREE of cost.

 

The implementation of automation, other technologies, and multi-storey warehouses are still very low in the Indian market. Automated storage and retrieval systems can help to increase the efficiency of warehouses.

Some of the robotic technologies used in large warehouses include Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), Aerial Drones (ARs), etc.

Greatest retailers across the world have embraced these modern robotic technologies and witnessed clear benefits to their businesses. Using robots not only reduces warehouse labor but also skyrockets the efficiency of business operations.

Multi-storey warehouses facilitate optimum usage of land/space and can be a plus point in congested and rapidly growing cities. It is very important to know the importance of technology and how it can be integrated into operations in warehouses which not only reduces the chances of errors but also promotes minimal assistance of manpower.

However, we hope that in the coming years, warehouses in India will opt for the large-scale adoption of automation and many other advanced technologies.

HDFC bank is a household name with 28 years of the illustrious history of creating benchmarks and redefining services in the Banking sector.

 

Firstly, let us go back in history to exactly know the relationship between HDFC Limited and HDFC Bank.

 

This is the year 1977 when HDFC Limited came into this world with only one goal - To change people’s behavior.

Starting off HDFC Limited, a 45 years old institution that is considered to be the parent of  28 years old HDFC Bank. Back then, things were different, the way people think was different. 

For building a house, people waited until retirement. They saved every penny of their earnings just to build their dream house. Borrowing money from others was completely an alien concept for them. 

 

That’s when HDFC was born, to change the way people think, to let people understand that borrowing money is not a foreign concept, but a concept that can help them fulfill their dreams or build their dream house faster and enjoy its merits during their lifetime.

 

THE FIRST CUSTOMER- They persuaded D.B. Remedios to take a loan of Rs. 35,000 to build a house of Rs. 70,000. Within a year, the lender’s annual loan approvals had crossed Rs. 100 crore mark. This is how HDFC paved its way toward success and since then, there was no looking back. Home loan was the nickname of HDFC. Besides building dream homes for the country’s population, it also birthed one of the top private lenders in the country.

 

Then People were dissatisfied with public sector banks as they were overloaded with heritage and they needed a fresh experience- something customer service-centric and quick in action. Thus the offspring, HDFC bank was born.

 

If you start something you either fail or succeed. So was the case of HDFC Bank, initially, things didn’t go well; yet quitting was not the solution.

 

With its grit and determination, HDFC Bank became India’s second-largest bank and earned its well-deserved place in the 100 most valuable brands in the world.

 

After years of working individually, the family has finally decided to unite. It’s time for them to merge and become one. The subsidiaries and associates of HDFC will also be transferred to HDFC Bank. With HDFC Ltd's resources/assets tossed into the mix, it is anticipated that HDFC Bank's market share will go from 11% to 15%. 

Why did the need for merging arise?

Let us again travel back to the year 2020, when the internal group of RBI published certain proposals that all the Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) should be converted into banks.  

 

Both the parent (HDFC Ltd.) and the offspring (HDFC Bank) thought it would be best to become one instead of functioning parallelly. Thus, these two stellar institutions will close the transaction in the next 18 months.

 

Talking with FirstLease Investment Consulting Head, Mr. Amit Sachdeva, this is what he quoted, “This merger will be beneficial for the stakeholders of both the entities as well as for the Indian economy. We require bigger and stronger financial institutions for the progress of India. A step in the right direction.”

Can you imagine what would happen if the land is full of concrete jungles and becomes a heat island?

Do you think we will survive?

Let’s talk about what is happening around us, let’s not travel to other corners of the world but rather look around and focus on what is happening in front of our eyes - The Bitter Reality.

Starting off with Gurugram, Haryana which is home to many and a source of livelihood as it serves as the headquarters of India’s largest companies, MNCs, etc. Thousands of trees are cleared for creating stilt parking by the builders and residents at the boundary of multi-storey buildings. On 1st June 2020, the Department of Town and Country Planning(DTCP) made certain revisions to the rules for Construction of Plots (stilt parking compulsory for the construction of 3rd and 4th floors falling under the hyper potential category.

In order to assist more cars, 4-storey buildings have end-to-end entrance gates all along the facade of the building and this leaves no room for the roadside trees. There is more concrete than the green cover in the city, and that’s a very unpleasant sight. Every bit of land is being concretized even the boundary of the private plots. Despite many complaints made by the residents, no immediate action has been taken up by the concerned authorities. 

Do you think clearing of trees or thinning of forests/ Green cover is logical?

Whenever and wherever clearing of forests or trees is involved, it’s always illogical. 

For instance, a number of trees are cleared for constructing a commercial building. There is always a solution for everything. If trees are cleared for construction purposes, afforestation is the best way to recover the same number of trees. 

 

FirstLease is the Country’s leading space leasing service provider working at the PAN level. You can get the kind of commercial spaces/ Leed certified/ Green buildings/ Buildings contributing towards conserving the water table and these are available across all cities. If you are looking for any such building across the country be it east, west, north, or south, FirstLease is always ready to assist you.

 

At FirstLease, we are always delighted to offer our services to entrepreneurs who have a deep and better understanding of nature and are ready to adopt sustainable developmental practices for the planet.

 

I hail from that part of India where I have only seen lustrous green cover all around. Northeast constitutes 7.98 percent of the country’s geographical area and accounts for nearly 25% of the country’s green cover. Recently, I have moved to the city in order to fulfill my dreams. 

Unlike what I have seen in movies and heard from people, everything about the city is good other than the pollution.

There are more numbers of vehicles than people on the road and it takes me around 5 minutes to cross a road. 

Public transportation plays a vital role in reducing air pollution, congestion management, and also in economic development. By preferring public transportation over private vehicles, a huge amount of fuel can be saved. And this will result in lesser emission of poisonous gases into the breathable air.

Any developmental activities that hamper our environment is an act of destruction. There should be a balance between development and the environment. If one tree is brought down then another two plants should be brought up.

Every morning, I wake up to notifications saying “Air Quality is extremely poor, stay indoors.” Am I really supposed to stay indoors?

But do you think ‘I’ and ‘you’ staying indoors will resolve this issue?

Nah and never….

Let us get up, go out and make a change. One green plant from my side and your side can make a huge difference. A single person can only make a small difference, just imagine the difference we can make altogether.

 

Talking to Mr. Gaggan Satinder Bedi, Founder, and CEO of FirstLease (the Country’s leading space leasing company), he quoted “trees are intertwined with our lives.” Development is critical but we should always remember that clearing trees are not a healthy alternative. We owe everything to this land and it is our responsibility to protect it at all costs.

When humans met technology- that’s when digitalization was born. Everyone is aware of the ‘digital wave’ but not everyone knows about the impact it can create on one’s life. 

By definition, digitalization means the process of bringing or exchanging information and data into a computer-readable format.

Digitalization is no longer a trend but a way of life, it affects the daily lives of all in one way or the other. Day by day it is upgrading at an insane pace and trust me the pace will only speed up. It is undeniable that with the advent of digital technologies, our daily realities are undergoing changes. Be at the office, working on your system, or at home scrolling through your phone, digital technology is involved.

Every industry has adopted digital technology and with time, it has evolved as a necessity. There is a need for digital transformation in the Real Estate Industry as well.

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has decided to hike transfer duty by 1% in the purchase of properties above Rs 25 lakh in Delhi. As per officials after the hike, the transfer will be 4 percent for men and 3 percent for women. Currently, the transfer duty on the sale or purchase of properties is 3 percent for men and 2 percent for women.

The hike will not be applicable to buyers aiming for the sale or purchase of properties below Rs 25 lakh.

This has been initiated with the aim to focus on improving the financial health of the Municipality which was adversely affected in the previous year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Since then, the Civic Body has been struggling even to pay the salaries of its employees.

In the month of May, the three civic bodies- north, east, and south unified in a meeting where a proposal to increase the transfer duty was laid out.

The proposal was passed by the special officer of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). The MCD is entrusted with the power to run the civic body till the new house is elected. 

Authorities believe that this initiative will help MCD in overcoming financial challenges and providing best services to people.

The sale and purchase of properties have been banned in Sushant Lok-2, Gurugram by the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). The reason behind this decision is the failure of developers to renew the project’s licences. 

As per the order issued by the DTCP, the developers are to stop any developmental activities taking place in the colony and place display boards at conspicuous locations of the colony. The main motive behind installing the boards is to inform the general public not to buy or sell properties in the colony.

 

The DTP(enforcement) RS Batth has been directed by the DTCP to take the required action accordingly. According to Batth, the licenses of the 290-acre township expired around 5 years ago, but the realtors have failed to renew it. 

He further added, “The Department has directed the developers for the renewal within 15 days, failing which the licences will be cancelled.”

In the second quarter of 2022, Bengaluru led the office leasing market with a 30% share followed by Mumbai(19%) and Delhi-NCR(18%). In comparison to the previous year, the net absorption across the six metro cities witnessed an almost three-fold rise to 14.7 million sq ft during Q2 of 2022. Bengaluru dominated the leasing market during the quarter, driven by high occupier demand for large office spaces.

As companies have returned to pre-pandemic normalcy and have started operating, the overall pan-India absorption has already surpassed 27 million sq ft in H1 of 2022. The net absorption in the Q1 & Q2 of 2022 has already surpassed more than 80% of the total absorption seen in the whole of 2021.

In Q2 of 2022, the escalation in occupancy resulted in demand outpacing supply by a significant margin. 

Moreover, Bengaluru has also ranked 14th Position in the entire Asia-Pacific region in terms of the Sustainability Index and is the only Indian city to achieve the “Gold Standard”.

GURGAON, the name itself so appealing to say and listen to, is believed to be the village of eminent figures of the great epic, Mahabharata.

According to Mahabharata, Gurgaon aka Gurugram is the place where Guru Dronacharya used to live and is also believed to be owned by the Pandavas and Kauravas. This land was gifted to Guru Dronacharya by King Drupad. 

The name change from Gurgaon to Gurugram is a tribute to Guru Dronacharya.

Throughout history, it has been a great place for learning and education. This can be traced in the Hindu scriptures of the Bhagavad Gita. For a period of about 12 years, Guru Dronacharya taught the art of warfare to the Kuru princes (Pandavas and Kauravas) here in Gurgaon.

At present, Gurugram is home to a number of established, start-up companies (national and multinational companies) and a source of livelihood for people coming from different parts of the country. This city has so much to offer that’s why every month, thousands of immigrants come to this city to learn, earn, and explore.

People here have always followed Vastu shastra be it for buying a House, Office, Warehouse, Industrial Space, or Retail Space.

By definition, Vastu Shastra means “The Science of Architecture.”  It makes one’s life better and full of positive energy. Moreover, it also shows one the path to Success, Welfare, and Well-being. Vastu Shastra wards off negative energy and there is a continuous flow of positive energy in one’s living space or working space.

Let's take a glance at some of the Vastu tips for office spaces:-

• Direction:- An office space facing North, East, and North-East direction is always auspicious and prosperous for both the entrepreneurs and the employees.
• Location of cabins:- The private cabins of the Business Head should be in the Western part of the office facing the northeast direction. This direction helps in enhancing leadership skills.
• Financial prosperity:- North and northeast direction are believed to be ruled by Lord Kubera, the God of Wealth and Prosperity. So the mentioned Vastu directions are best for the company’s financial prosperity.
• Color:- Warm and vibrant colors are very stimulating. It is believed that the red color stimulates the left side of our brain thus enhancing productivity.
• Other elements:- Lights and decor items add essence to an office space. Flowers or plants in the reception area not only make the environment attractive but also makes one fresh, boosting energy level and productivity. According to a study, people working in natural lights experienced drops in health issues such as headaches, eyestrain, and blurred visions.

Imagine a worker looking tired in the morning as a result of the tan and dull colors of the office environment.

The office environment plays a vital role in the working nature and performance of the employees. 

The entrepreneurs and landlords here in Gurgaon have always followed the Vastu tips for every old and new journey of their lives. And they do not compromise when it comes to Vastu Shastra. So why compromise with commercial spaces when you can explore and get the best in the country. 

We at FirstLease assist our clients with commercial spaces which are ready to move in right away. We help our clients find spaces that suit their needs and fulfill the Vastu Shastra as well.

Law firms have started adopting bigger and smarter office spaces as the business is growing at a rapid rate.

Mumbai-based Abhijit Joshi, the Managing Partner of Veritas Legal, doubled his office space capacity in the Fort Area to almost 11,000 sq ft. 

According to a report, He said, “Office spaces will need to be reimagined to create experiences as lawyers start spending more time in the office.”

It is also in talks that Zulfiquar Memon, managing partner of law firm MZM Legal, is doubling his office space too. He said, “We are constantly working with our counterparts in the US, the Uk, and other parts of the world, which means people will be staying at the office beyond usual working hours, and for that, we need to create a good environment and facilities, and that requires more space.”  He further added, “With the leasing of 40,000 sq. ft of office space in Saket, Our Delhi will now undergo an upgrade. Collectively these upgrades will result in our office spaces growing by nearly 70% since 2019.”

A pretty good number of law firms are relocating and expanding their office spaces as the demand for legal services is increasing. 

According to a report, Shweta Sawhney, Managing Director of Savills India said, “Most law firms have seen expansion and portfolio up-gradation happen to better buildings with Grade A amenities.  The focus on employee well-being is leading to an increase in absorption in premium locations that have Grade A offices and unique amenities within the project and the vicinity.”

Also, some property consultants and law firms stated, “The firms are interested in buildings that offer better connectivity, multifunctional spaces, a collaborative environment, good recreational facilities, and areas that have open spaces.” 

The main focus of law firms today is to add more functional spaces so that the lawyers will return back to the office on regular basis rather than only a few days a week and more focus will be laid on the work.

When asked where do you feel most Alive, Happy, and Relaxed? The obvious answer will be in Nature’s lap.

The answer may come in variations such as in hills, by the riverside, under the stars, beneath the shade of trees, in the garden, looking at a beautiful landscape, and many more. Whatever it is, there’s always nature involved. 

We all have a genetic connection with nature, after all, she is our beloved “MOTHER NATURE.” And who doesn’t want to be around her 24x7? We all do. 

“We have always witnessed Positive Experiences in Nature.”

 

Urbanization somewhere has snatched the connection one holds with nature. At present everyone is so engrossed in their work life, they hardly spend time in nature’s lap. Our ancestors have always stayed close to nature and have led a calmer life in comparison to today’s generation. 

Biophilic design has emerged as a crucial element that has the ability to bridge the gap between nature and people in workplaces. 

First of all let us learn what biophilic designs are, their benefits, and how it has become a bridge between nature and people in workplaces.

 

Starting off with what Biophilic designs actually are- Biophilic design is a concept aimed at improving human connection with nature by infusing natural or living elements into built environments (places where we live or work). 

These are some of the benefits of Biophilic Designs at Workplaces:-

 

1. Reduces Stress- At present, stress rates have skyrocketed especially among people who are working. Plants at workplaces soothe stress and can be the perfect stress buster for any employee. Biophilic designs can be achieved at all budgets.

 

2. Enhances Creativity- “Nature is the great visible engine of creativity and human creativity emerges out of that,” said scientist Terance McKenna. Spending time in nature improves innovative and creative thinking. “One is at his best in nature’s lap.”

 

3. Boost Productivity- Dull and boring desks/cubicles can take a toll on workers’ performance/productivity. “Just install small potted herbs on your desk and see the difference it makes.”

 

4. Therapeutic- Everyone will undeniably agree with the fact that “Nature is the Best Therapy” as it enhances the clarity of thoughts, improves our well-being, and expedites healing. 

In the process/journey of connecting with nature at workplaces, Lack of space may be the drawback but remember, “There are multiple ways to mimic nature which can still deliver the same vibes as the real things.”

 

It includes- Nature inspired Graphics & Wallpapers, Digital screens, Carpets, Stone or wood floors, and many more. 

 

At FirstLease, we believe in implementing sustainable and biophilic designs along with the beautiful office spaces we deliver.

Let us take a moment to step back and look at what CRE Industry used to be like. 

When most industries had embraced the digital era in the early 20s, CRE was nowhere near the digital curve. 

After digital transformation Commercial Real Estate has become more competitive than ever. The World of CRE is continually Evolving. And the Big Question is Are You Equipped To Evolve Along With It?

At present with the highly competitive landscape of CRE and a volley of problems, the majority of CRE firms have made considerable steps toward digitalization. 

Listing digital transformations that are helping firms to excel-

 

• Digital Communication- Organizations that continue to maintain constant communication with their clients (Landlords and Tenants) have the potential to hold a high level of credibility. Some of the most important mediums for communication include social media (Linkedin, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram), emails, automated text reminders, web portals, and face time for quick calls.
  Why go helter-skelter when you can interconnect landlords and tenants in just a tap or click?

 

• Websites - A website is critical for any real estate business to stand out from the competition. Why not take the advantage of the technological era? The best way for any business to prosper is to have a well-designed website.
  It not only secures one a place in the DIGITAL WORLD but also brings customers (buyers & sellers) from any corner of the world.
  For instance: visit www.firstlease.in and see the advantages this technology (website) has to offer for businesses like us.

 

• Advertisements - Websites and social media enable one to run advertisements thus helping them generate potential buyers from all across the globe. Advertisements not only allow businesses to scale up their reach but also builds indirect relationships with the customers who have encountered the advertisement.

When tasks are automated, the probability of human errors considerably lessens. This enhances the level of productivity and also takes the business to next level. We all are pretty sure that this transformation will not spare any industry. Eventually with the growing competition all around, one has to ultimately embrace it.

“LET US NOT JUST SURVIVE THE COMPETITION, BUT STAY AHEAD OF IT”

According to a report, the increasing use of digital technology, migration of IT infrastructure to third-party providers, and growing usage of data from new and existing channels will result in the addition of 678 MW to India’s digital transformation industry by 2025.

This will create demand for 9.1 million square feet of real estate space, which will need an investment of $4.8 billion in both data centre infrastructure and data centre sector real estate.

Mumbai leads the space absorption, accounting for a 43 percent share, with a substantial hyperscale precommitment being delivered in Delhi NCR. Hyperscale data centres cater to the demands of large organisations including Amazon, Google, and Facebook.

In this technology age dominated by e-commerce and online shopping. It might seem counterintuitive to believe that brick-and-mortar stores are still thriving. 
 

Amidst the rise of digital retail, there is always a question in everyone’s mind- “Will Online Shopping completely wipe out Physical Stores?”
 

Online shopping has emerged as a transformative force in the retail industry, revolutionizing the way people shop and conduct business. However, despite the ease and convenience of online shopping, physical stores have always managed to hold their ground.
 

The unparalleled in-store experience that Physical stores provide is unmatchable. They offer a multisensory experience, allowing customers to touch, feel, and try products before making a purchase. This hands-on interaction creates a level of engagement and emotional connection that online shopping cannot replicate. Moreover, physical stores can be designed to create a unique ambiance that aligns with the brand, further enhancing the overall shopping experience.
 

Online shopping has undoubtedly transformed the retail landscape and will continue to be a dominant force in the industry, the complete replacement of brick-and-mortar stores seems unlikely. The in-store experience, personal interactions, immediate gratification, and community building offered by physical retailers create a unique and irreplaceable value proposition.
 

In the future, harmonious coexistence of online shopping and brick-and-mortar stores is probable. Retailers who can strike a balance between digital convenience and the experiential aspects of in-store shopping are poised to thrive in the ever-evolving retail ecosystem. The key lies in embracing the strengths of both channels to meet the diverse and evolving needs of consumers in the years to come.
 

In the fast-paced world of retail, location is everything. Whether you're an established brand looking to expand or an ambitious entrepreneur starting your first venture, finding the right retail space is crucial for your success. It's not just about the physical space; it's about securing a spot in a high-traffic area that aligns with your brand and business objectives.

 

This is where FirstLease, your trusted Commercial Real Estate (CRE) firm, comes into play.
 

If you are in search of retail space in prime locations, whether it's within bustling malls, prominent high streets, or standalone independent buildings, look no further than FirstLease. We specialize in helping businesses like yours find the perfect retail space to thrive and succeed.
