Eros City Square Office for Rent, Sector 49 Gurgaon

Office space for rent in Eros City Square Gurgaon is quoted at about Rs 60 per sq ft a month — and that quote is for fully furnished space. Those last two words change what the number means, and they are the reason this address is better value than almost anything it is usually compared against.

A furnished quote and an unfurnished one are not the same number

In a South Delhi building we looked at in this same batch, the gap between a furnished floor and a bare one ran to roughly Rs 45 per sq ft a month amortised into the rent — that is what workstations, cabins, cabling, lighting and internal air conditioning are worth when a landlord funds them instead of you.

Hold that in mind while reading the Gurugram market:

Furnished at Rs 60 undercuts unfurnished at Rs 60 to Rs 80 by the entire value of the fit-out. A tenant taking bare shell elsewhere at Rs 60 also spends months and a capital sum before anyone sits down; here they move in. Whether the furniture is any good is a separate question, and one you answer by visiting rather than by reading.

Two things to confirm before treating this as settled: whether the Rs 60 includes common-area maintenance or sits before it, and what "fully furnished" covers in this specific unit — workstations and cabins, or also the air conditioning, the lighting, the server room and the cabling.

What the building is

Eros City Square stands at Sector 49 by Rosewood City, Gurugram, built as two levels of retail with six levels of office above. It is represented by international agencies as well as local brokers, and space in it is traded on resale as well as let.

That structure matters to an office tenant in a way it is easy to miss. Two retail levels underneath mean your building has a public ground floor: food, everyday services and footfall that is not yours. The advantage is real — your staff can eat, bank and shop without leaving — and so is the cost, because lift traffic, parking and security are shared with people who do not work there. Ask specifically how office parking is separated from retail parking, because on a mixed building that is where the daily friction lives.

Sector 49 and Sohna Road

Sector 49 sits on the Sohna Road corridor, the stretch that was Gurugram's main office alternative to Golf Course Road before the newer corridors opened. It still works for what it is: dense residential on both sides, a deep base of small and mid-size occupiers, and a short run to Golf Course Extension Road and the Southern Peripheral Road.

Its structural weakness has not changed — there is no metro on this road. That single fact is most of why a furnished office here is Rs 60 while a warm shell at the airport district in Delhi is Rs 245. If your staff drive or take a cab, that gap is pure saving. If you are hiring at a scale where the commute decides who accepts your offer, it is not.

A caution about the retail figure

This page previously carried a retail rate of about Rs 100 per sq ft alongside the office quote. No source we could reach publishes a retail rate for this building, so we have not repeated it. Retail on this road, in a comparable development, has been offered around Rs 80 per sq ft a month, and retail generally carries a 20 to 40 per cent premium over office in the same market — so Rs 100 is not implausible. It is simply not evidenced, and an unevidenced number on a page is a liability rather than a service.

Before you sign

1. What "fully furnished" includes, listed item by item — and what condition it is in, which you establish by sitting in it.
2. Gross or net. Whether the Rs 60 includes maintenance, with the CAM rate and last year's actual against budget.
3. Carpet against super area. You pay on super and work on carpet; compare the carpet rate.
4. Office parking separated from retail parking, counted in bays and written into the lease.
5. Who owns the unit — the developer, an investor, or a tenant subletting — because each has a different floor below which they will not go.

Frequently asked questions

What is the office rent in Eros City Square Gurgaon?

About Rs 60 per sq ft a month, and the quote is for fully furnished space. That qualifier is the important part: a furnished rate includes the landlord's capital for workstations, cabins, cabling, lighting and internal air conditioning, which a bare-shell rate does not. Confirm whether the Rs 60 sits before or after common-area maintenance, and get a list of exactly what the furnishing covers.

Is Rs 60 furnished good value for Gurugram?

Yes, on the comparison that matters. A Grade A building at Sector 58 quotes Rs 60 to Rs 80 before maintenance for space that is bare shell or fitted, Sohna Road Grade A runs about Rs 75 all-in, and an institutional campus at Dundahera about Rs 99 all-in. Furnished at Rs 60 undercuts unfurnished at Rs 60 to Rs 80 by the entire value of a fit-out — in a South Delhi building the furnished-to-bare gap ran to roughly Rs 45 per sq ft a month amortised.

What is the building, and how is it arranged?

Two levels of retail with six levels of office above, at Sector 49 by Rosewood City on the Sohna Road corridor. Space is let and also traded on resale, and the building is represented by international agencies as well as local brokers. The retail levels give your staff food, banking and everyday services without leaving the building, at the cost of sharing lifts, parking and security with people who do not work there.

Why is this so much cheaper than a Delhi office?

Mostly because there is no metro on Sohna Road. Warm shell space in the Delhi airport district runs about Rs 245 per sq ft a month and a metro-served South Delhi Grade A address Rs 125 to Rs 170, against about Rs 60 furnished here. If your staff drive or take a cab, that gap is pure saving. If you are hiring at a scale where the commute decides who accepts your offer, it is not.

What is the retail rent in this building?

No source we could reach publishes one, so this page does not print a figure. Retail in a comparable development on the same road has been offered around Rs 80 per sq ft a month, and retail generally carries a 20 to 40 per cent premium over office in the same market. A previously published Rs 100 for this building is not implausible on that basis, but it is not evidenced, and an unevidenced number is a liability rather than a service.

What should I settle before signing a lease here?

What "fully furnished" includes, item by item, and what condition it is in — which you establish by sitting in it. Whether the Rs 60 is gross or net, with the maintenance rate and last year's actual against budget. The carpet area against the super area, so you compare the carpet rate. How office parking is separated from retail parking, counted in bays and written into the lease. And who owns the unit, because a developer, an investor and a subletting tenant each have a different floor they will not go below.

Our view

On the arithmetic this is one of the better-value office propositions in Gurugram, and the reason is a single word most listings bury: furnished. Rs 60 with the fit-out already paid for beats Rs 60 to Rs 80 without it by a wide margin, and it beats it on time as well as money — you move in rather than building for three months. What you are accepting in exchange is a road with no rail and a building you share with a retail public. Go and sit in the furniture before you decide; that is the only part of this a page cannot tell you.

In short: about Rs 60 per sq ft a month fully furnished, two retail levels under six office ones, and no metro on the road — which is most of the reason the number is what it is.
