True to its word of playing the long game in the region, Airbnb is significantly expanding its footprint by opening a brand-new Global Capability Center (GCC) in Gurugram. ๐
The Airbnb Global Capability Center has officially locked in a fresh 5-year lease for over 46,437 sq. ft. of prime, Grade-A office space in Delhi-NCR's most premium commercial hub.
Deal details:
๐ Location: DLF Cybercity - Building No. 5 (Tower A)
๐ Chargeable Area: 46,437 sft (32,506 sft carpet)
โณ Tenure: 5 Years (with a 5% annual escalation)
๐ฐ Monthly Rent: โน61.53 Lacs (โน132.5/sft)
๐ Security Deposit: โน5.54 Cr
This physical expansion perfectly aligns with the companyโs broader strategy. As Brian Chesky recently noted, India houses Airbnb's largest corporate footprint outside the US, and the country is poised for heavy future investments to capture the travel-hungry Gen Z demographic and leverage deep AI capability talent.
Commenting on the transaction, Raja Seetharaman, Co-founder of Propstack, said: "Airbnb's expansion at DLF Cybercity reflects the incredible momentum we are witnessing in India's commercial real estate market. Global Capability Centers (GCCs) have moved completely beyond simple back-offices to become the primary engine driving premium institutional leasing. Tech leaders committing to long-term, high-value leases at over โน130/sqft proves that the appetite for top-tier, compliant Grade-A infrastructure remains incredibly robust."
