Seals a deal with Brigade Group in one of the largest office deal in Kochi
Bangalore, 20 April, 2016: In what could be the largest office transaction witnessed in Kochi in recent past, KPMG, one of the Big Four Auditing firms in the world, has taken up more than 260,000 sq. ft. of office space at World Trade Center (WTC) Kochi at Infopark being developed by Brigade Group, a leading real estate company based out of Bangalore. WTC Kochi offers 770,000 sq. ft. of premium SEZ office space being developed in two towers. KPMG already has an office in WTC Bangalore, which is part of the award winning mixed use enclave called Brigade Gateway.
The auditing major had many office space options from competitors, but chose to go with Brigade Group due to the strategic combination of the World Trade Center and Brigade Group. Working out of the World’s most sought after business address- World Trade Center along with the positive experience from KPMG’s existing relationship with Brigade Group played a crucial role in the decision. KPMG expects approximately 2,600 employees to be operating from this facility.
Another global MNC Xerox has confirmed 43,000 sq. ft. office space in WTC Kochi along with Boston based Visual IQ, Theory Y & Forerun Global which are some of the other companies who have already signed the agreement with Brigade Group and will start operating soon from WTC Kochi.
Confirming the development, Vishal Mirchandani CEO – Retail & Commercial, Brigade Group said “Our approach to real estate development and managing customer expectations keeps us in good stead and helps us grow our business while strengthening our brand values. Our foray into markets outside Bangalore have been successful and this is another example demonstrating our management’s mission to develop the Brigade brand as one of the dominating players in real estate sector in South India.”
WTC Kochi is Brigade Group’s 2nd World Trade Center developed after the multi award winning and fully operational WTC Bangalore which is home to large global MNCs like Amazon, ABB, KPMG, McKinsey etc. Apart from Bangalore and Kochi, Brigade Group has 3 more licenses to build World Trade Centers in the South Indian cities of Chennai, Trivandrum and Hyderabad.
