Pre-leased office at Rs 21,000 a foot collects Rs 105 a month for a 6.00% yield. Housing on the same road pays 2.36%. Listings start at Rs 9,744, not Rs 14,000
Written by Mansi Joshi, Marketing Intelligence Lead, ZYN33 Investment Desk. Reviewed by Ritesh Arora, Founder, ZYN33 and Strata Capital Holdings, Gurugram. Advising on Gurugram residential capital allocation since 2023, with mandates ranging from Rs 3 Cr to Rs 50 Cr. Published 25 November 2025. Last reviewed 2 October 2026.
Disclosure: ZYN33 distributes residential projects in Gurugram and is paid a transaction fee when a purchase completes, including on projects we discuss with you. We do not give tax advice. This post is general information. Take it to your chartered accountant.
Office here pays 6.00% while housing on the same road pays 2.36%. Pre-leased space at Rs 21,000 a square foot collects Rs 105 a foot a month, against Rs 38 for residential at Rs 19,300. So 8.8% more capital buys 2.76 times the rent. That is the case, and the usual write up never states a yield.
If you want income rather than appreciation. Find your row.

6.00%, and it reconciles. A pre-leased floor at AIPL Business Club in Sector 62 is offered from Rs 2.10 Cr for 1,000 square feet. That is Rs 21,000 a foot, let at Rs 105 a square foot a month.
Twelve months at Rs 105 on Rs 21,000 gives exactly 6.00%, so the figures hang together. The lease began January 2024 on a nine year term with a three year lock-in. That is the number the post's own return question needed and never supplied.
It is not close. Here is the same road, priced two ways.

So office costs 8.8% more per foot and pays 2.76 times the rent, for 2.54 times the yield. Anyone weighing commercial investment Gurugram against housing should start here.
It starts lower than usually quoted. The circulating 2026 range is Rs 14,000 to Rs 24,000. Listed offers run from Rs 9,744.

The floor is 30% below the quoted Rs 14,000, and nothing listed reaches Rs 24,000. A GCER office price band should be taken from live offers, not from a range.
Mostly, which is worth saying plainly. Divide the circulating year bands and the growth labels broadly reconcile, unlike most tables of this kind.
Its 2020 row computes at 6.52% against a 6 to 7% label. The 2022 row gives 20.34% against 20 to 22%, and 2024 gives 14.71% against 12 to 15%. Two rows miss. 2019 computes at 8.24% against a ceiling of 8%, and the top of the 2025 band gives 12.82% against a 6 to 8% label. No source is attached to any of it.
Cycle Positioning is mature on office and stalled on housing, which is an unusual pair. Golf Course Extension residential grew 0.43%, the slowest locality we track, at Rs 19,300.
The office side is the opposite. Gurugram has passed 100 million square feet of office stock, the largest in north India. It leased 40 million square feet over five years while adding only 21 million. Demand ran at 1.9 times new supply.
Rates are the published figures above, per square foot, with rent as listed. Illustrative, not guaranteed. A composite illustration, not a client.
Into pre-leased office at Rs 21,000, Rs 2 Cr buys 952 square feet. Let at Rs 105 that is Rs 99,960 a month, or Rs 12 lakh a year.
Into residential at Rs 19,300, the same money buys 1,036 square feet. Let at Rs 38 that is Rs 39,368 a month, or Rs 4.72 lakh a year. That is Rs 7.28 lakh a year less on identical capital. Our yield note ranks the alternatives.
Three sectors carry the listed supply. Sector 66 spans the widest range, from Rs 9,744 at Spaze Business Park to Rs 20,000 at AIPL Autograph and M3M IFC. That is a 105% spread inside one sector.
Sector 67 sits at Rs 19,000 on the Landmark One listing. Sector 62 carries the pre-leased stock at Rs 21,000 with a tenant in place. So the building and the lease matter more than the sector. A single sector-level figure for Golf Course Extension Road investment would mislead you twofold.
NH-48 access does, and the metro does not reach here. The sanctioned Gurugram line runs 28.50 kilometres over 27 stations at Rs 5,452.72 crore, from Millennium City Centre to Cyber City.
Its station list includes Sector 48 and Subhash Chowk, which are near this belt, but no station is sanctioned on Golf Course Extension Road itself. Phase 1 was awarded in August 2025 on a 30 month deadline, and Indian infrastructure runs 12 to 24 months behind projection. Do not pay a metro premium here.
On the lease, if it is pre-leased. Read the deed, not the brochure: the tenant's covenant, the remaining term, the lock-in, the escalation clause and who pays maintenance. The AIPL Business Club example runs to 2033 with a lock-in that expired in 2027.
Then verify the registration at HRERA Gurugram, not from a listing page. One widely used site repeats a single registration number across four unrelated projects. Price in stamp duty at 7% plus registration capped at Rs 50,000, which on Rs 2 Cr is Rs 14.5 lakh. Our lease versus buy note sets out that arithmetic.
Tenant risk first, since a pre-leased yield is only as good as the covenant behind it. Second, re-letting risk when the term ends, in a market where the corridor's own housing grew 0.43%. Third, the 105% price spread inside Sector 66, which makes comparables hard. Fourth, duty at Rs 14.5 lakh on Rs 2 Cr. Fifth, no sanctioned metro station on this road.
Signal: the rent per foot and the yield it implies, the lease term and lock-in. Then the tenant covenant, the rate against comparable listings, and the duty. Five checks and all are obtainable. Noise: an unsourced appreciation table. A price range whose floor is 44% above live offers. Grade A specification lists. And developer names quoted without a rate beside them.

Walk away if nobody will show you the lease deed on a pre-leased unit. Walk away if the quoted floor was Rs 14,000 when listings start at Rs 9,744. And walk away from a metro premium on a road with no sanctioned station.
Set it against the lease, not the market. On price, review when your rate reaches Rs 24,000, the top of the quoted band that no live listing currently reaches. On event, sell with two or more years of term remaining, because a short residual term prices badly. On time, review at the lock-in expiry and again a year before the lease ends.
Buy office space on Golf Course Extension Road for yield, and the case is stronger than the usual pitch makes it. Pre-leased stock at Rs 21,000 pays 6.00% on rent of Rs 105 a foot, against 2.36% for housing on the same road.
What does not stand is the pricing and the growth story. The quoted Rs 14,000 floor sits 44% above live offers of Rs 9,744, the appreciation table carries no source, and the corridor's housing grew 0.43%. Treat office space on Golf Course Extension Road as an income asset underwritten on a lease deed. Our pre-leased note and the corridor report go further.
Looking at Rs 40 lakh to Rs 10 Cr of office here, deciding inside 60 days? Send the building, the rate and the lease summary. We return the implied yield, comparable listed rates, the duty exposure and the residual term risk.

The pre-leased benchmark. AIPL Business Club, Sector 62 on Golf Course Extension Road, offered from Rs 2.10 Cr for 1,000 square foot units at Rs 21,000 a square foot, let at Rs 105 a square foot a month with a stated 6% return, on a lease commencing January 2024 for nine years with a three year lock-in: LeasingNCR listing, retrieved 3 October 2026. We checked the yield independently: twelve months at Rs 105 on Rs 21,000 is 6.00%, so the listing reconciles.
Listed office rates. Spaze Business Park Sector 66 at Rs 9,744, Landmark One Sector 67 at Rs 19,000, AIPL Autograph Sector 66 at Rs 20,000 and M3M IFC Sector 66 at Rs 20,000: Square Yards office listings, retrieved 3 October 2026. These are individual asking prices, not an index, and one further listing on that page did not reconcile with its own size so it is excluded. Residential comparison. Golf Course Extension at Rs 19,300, up 0.43%, rent Rs 38, yield 2.36%: Square Yards Gurgaon rates, June 2026. Office market. Gurugram past 100 million square feet, largest in north India, with 21 million added and 40 million leased over five years: CBRE, reported by Business Standard, 23 July 2026. Metro.
