Nano Prompts Serviced Apartment Demand in Ahmedabad

Tata Motors will soon be setting up a Nano plant 25 km from Ahmedabad and the project is predicted to change the face of the serviced apartment industry in India.

Although serviced apartments are a relatively new concept in India, senior level executives of Tata Motors are expressing a preference for serviced apartment living as an alternative to purchasing corporate housing. Sarkhej-Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad-Sanand highway have been chosen as prime locations for the serviced apartment development. Each unit will be completely furnished and will include WiFi and broadband services. The serviced apartments will range from one to three bedroom units beginning at Rs 20,000 to 36,000 per month.

The city currently has seventy to one hundred serviced apartments in which occupancy is usually between fifteen days to three months. It is predicted that the demand for serviced apartment accommodations will increase during the next two to five years due to the fact that there will be corporate clients moving into the city who need temporary housing. The demand will also increase due to the number of residential societies.

According to serviced apartment operators such as Royalty Private Limited and Shanti Serviced Apartments, exploration for additional sites designed exclusively for serviced apartments has been underway to provide accommodations in which corporate clients can take up residence immediately and simply move in with just a bag. The serviced apartments will offer much more flexibility and freedom.

The Nano project is expected to revolutionize the serviced apartment industry in India and begin a new wave of corporate development in Ahmedabad and the surrounding area. Originally the serviced apartments were utilized for people visiting the country on leisure travel or coming home for a brief stay.

Serviced Office Market Increasing in India

According to market statistics, business start-ups, professionals, and large companies who are looking to establish a presence or expand their business to India, are increasingly opting to choose serviced office space as opposed to conventional leased office space. Businesses prefer to take advantage of the flexibility of serviced office space that does not require furnishing and an extensive lease but provides a professional business presence with immediacy and location at a reasonable cost.

With serviced office space, a company can opt to stay for a few months, a few years, or even a few hours regardless of whether it needs a full office or virtual presence with a virtual office. Companies can simply enter, sign a simple agreement and immediately start conducting business. This simplicity allows business to concentrate on business development, productivity and profitability instead of detailed logistics of establishing a presence. The company pays for serviced office space on a pay as you go basis with the flexibility of allocating additional space at short notice.

In India, the cost per serviced office space could amount to anything between Rs 20,000 and Rs 80,000 and the market is rapidly beginning to double because it is beginning from a low base of current serviced office availability. According to Avanta, a leading serviced office space provider in the United Kingdom, the trend of serviced offices has significantly increased in India and the company recently launched its first facility at Connaught Place. The demand for serviced offices has increased due largely because of high rental of conventional leased office space.

Avanta predicts that the trend of leasing serviced offices will continue to be on the upswing in India during the next few years and the company plans to expand its portfolio of serviced office properties to accommodate the trend.
