Renew your BKC office lease or relocate?

Start with how the current office works

A renewal decision starts with your team, not just the proposed rent. Review actual office attendance, workstation use, cabins, meeting rooms, storage and visitor needs. Identify what works in the current premises and what restricts daily operations. Separate essential changes from optional improvements before seeking alternative offices.

Set a consistent comparison brief

Compare the same usable requirement across the current office and proposed alternatives. Specify carpet area, permanent workstations, cabin seats, meeting rooms and parking. A 100-seater furnished office and a similarly sized unfurnished floor may involve different setup work. Ask for the exact layout rather than treating a building name or advertised size as a complete specification.

Compare the total cost of staying and moving

Record the written renewal proposal and compare it with unit-specific rental offers. Include maintenance, parking, utilities and any applicable taxes on the same basis. For relocation, include fit-out changes, furniture, IT work, moving and possible overlap between offices. Keep one-off costs separate from ongoing occupancy costs so the decision is easier to assess.

Allow time to review the existing arrangement

Ask your authorised team and advisers to review the current agreement, relevant dates, notice requirements and outstanding responsibilities. Do not infer your contractual position from a general online checklist. Gather the documents and questions early so the people responsible can clarify the applicable terms before a decision is made.

Use real alternatives to test the brief

Request current furnished or unfurnished office options in BKC that meet your operational requirement. Compare the actual premises in One BKC, The Capital, Parinee Crescenzo or other shortlisted buildings. Confirm current availability, area basis, fit-out condition and quoted terms. Historic listings and building guides do not establish a current offer.

Plan for business continuity

Consider the disruption of moving compared with improving the existing office. Check the time needed for connectivity, access approvals, equipment transfer and staff communication. Discuss which teams need uninterrupted operations and what temporary arrangements are realistic. The preferred option should work for the business timetable as well as the budget.

Prepare the decision and enquiry

Summarise space fit, total cost, timing, practical risks and unresolved questions for each option. Keep assumptions visible and seek written confirmation for material terms. To discuss an alternative BKC office, share your building preferences, carpet area, headcount, budget and target date with Aahilya Rentals. Current options and any proposed transaction remain subject to confirmation.
