For corporate occupiers: office decisions on total occupancy cost
Two office leases at the same headline rent can differ substantially in what they cost over five years. The rent is often the least consequential term in the document.
For corporate occupiers, in brief
The Genesis represents corporate occupiers leasing office space across Mumbai's commercial micro-markets: defining the real requirement including growth uncertainty, searching and shortlisting, modelling every option on total occupancy cost per usable seat, negotiating escalation, lock-in, flexibility and fit-out terms, and coordinating handover. We act for the occupier only on any transaction.
What you arrive with
The problems we usually hear first.
Shortlists set on headline rent
Loading, CAM, escalation and incentives not accounted for until after the decision.
Lock-ins that outlast the headcount forecast
A five-year commitment made on a growth plan that changed in year two.
Fit-out timelines that slip past lease commencement
Paying rent on space that cannot yet be used.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Which Mumbai office markets do you cover?
BKC, Lower Parel and Worli, Andheri East and the airport corridor, Powai, Goregaon and Malad, Thane, and Navi Mumbai's Vashi–Belapur corridor.
Is tenant representation free because the landlord pays?
Sometimes the landlord pays a fee, which creates an incentive the occupier should be able to see. We disclose how we are paid on every transaction, and we prefer occupier-paid structures where the occupier wants undiluted representation.
