How We Corrected the Office Price
We stepped in with a simple, facts-first 3-step process:

Reviewed depth-to-width ratio to assess how much of the space was practically usable for workstations and cabins.
Infrastructure Review
Evaluated daylight penetration, HVAC condition, and upcoming façade upgrade impact on long-term usability.
Fair-Value Adjustment
Reworked PPSF assumptions to reflect functional output, not brochure-led quoting—resetting the deal to ₹61 lakh.
Achievable Rents Aligned with Demand
Market supply and actual absorption levels pushed achievable rents below projected figures.
Market Depth
Comparable studios showed softer demand.
Yield Accuracy
Valuation matched achievable cash flow.
