JP Morgan India has pre-leased 1.16 lakh square feet (sq ft) of office space in a commercial project in Mumbai's Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The project is being developed by Goisu Realty, a group company of Japan’s Sumitomo Realty & Development.

 

The lease is for a period of 10 years and will commence on October 1, 2026, the proposed handover date of the property.
