"The bank is expanding its footprint rapidly in order to reach more customers. To support the growth of the bank, we are establishing various office spaces in various geographies. Our current office expansion in Mumbai is in line with the same plan and is an important strategic location for the BFSI sector. It also aligns to the Bank's commitment to fostering a conducive and vibrant work environment while enhancing customer experience and providing accessible, simple, cost-effective and innovative financial solutions to all customers," said the Bandhan Bank spokesperson.
Real estate experts told HT Digital that the deal value works out to be around ₹40000 per sq ft which is at a slight premium compared to other commercial deals in the area. This is largely on account of a supply demand mismatch that exists for Grade A office spaces. The area is a BFSI hub and monthly rentals are more than ₹250 per sq ft per month.
