Raheja Mindspace


Mindspace is a brand of commercial and industrial parks established by K Raheja Corp.[1] Located in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune, the industrial hubs offer offices, residential towers, entertainment facilities and other retail businesses.[2] By 2016, the parks developed by Mindspace housed more than 50 businesses in India, including Accenture, L&T Infotech Ltd, Cognizant Technology and Capegemini Group.[3]

The buildings by Mindspace have been designed and built to have minimal environmental impact, which has helped some of its projects to receive recognition, like Madhapur, which was recognized with a gold rating certificate from USGBC.[4] K Raheja Corp also has millions of square feet of building space in green commercial places which have been certified by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).[5]

Raheja Mindspace also operates Mindspace Business Parks, a real estate investment trust (REIT).[6]

Mindspace Malad, Mumbai[edit]

In 1999-2000, K Raheja Corp developed a suburban park Mindspace, Malad, which was spread across 110 acres.[7] By setting up the technology park in the suburbs, Mindspace was able to meet a huge portion of the commercial space requirement demanded by the IT, ITES industries in Mumbai.[8]

Tenants include JP Morgan Chase and Firstsource. Mindspace Malad was originally designed by Skidmore Owings & Merill LLP.[9]

Developer[edit]

K Raheja Corp is a real estate development company dealing in commercial, residential and retail projects. They are the developers of Mindspace, a commercial real estate project in major metropolitan cities of Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Pune. The developers have received gold rating certification from the US Green Building Council (USGBC) for Mindspace commercial business park in Hyderabad.[18]

Controversy[edit]

There were allegations that Raheja group had caused a dilution of the Andhra Pradesh government's stake in the Mindspace project. The stake was later restored to 11 per cent in accordance with the original memorandum of understanding.[19] Negotiations in 2011 between the Raheja group and APIIC (and the Andhra Pradesh government) sought to restore the state's share in the ownership and rental revenues from the project.[20][21][22][23]
