"The idea was to adapt to the market requirements and have a platter of choices - Futurex now offers large business spaces, optimally sized offices, and even fully furnished offices. We have both sale and lease options as well," said Mayur Shah, Managing Director, Marathon Group.

Futurex now offers spaces ranging from 800 sq.ft. to an enormous 2,00,000 sq.ft. A single floor at Futurex can accommodate up to 800 workstations.

The Group recently introduced starting from 800 sqft on the higher floors for medium-sized businesses, start-ups, and professionals and has seen a great response so far. The Occupation Certificate for these floors has been received and clients are in the process of starting fit-outs soon.

"We aim to democratize access to premium business spaces. It's a rare and aspirational opportunity for businesses with 15-20 employees to own a Grade A space in a business district. We have seen a good response from business owners from the surrounding areas of Lower Parel, Mahalaxmi, and Worli, who are gradually shifting from a work-from-home model to a work-near-home one. It's also a good investment proposition - the price is less than that of apartments in the surrounding areas with rental yields up to 3x of residential property," said Samyag Shah, Director, Marathon Group.

Marathon Futurex is located just a minutes walk from Lower Parel station on the western line, Curry road station on the central line and the Lower Parel monorail station, and under 10 minutes from the upcoming metro station. "The unmatched last-mile connectivity to Futurex means that businesses can attract and retain talent from across the city. With the Delisle road bridge set to be completed by end of 2022, connectivity to Western areas of central Mumbai will also improve significantly", said Samyag Shah.

Futurex boasts of a gold-rating by IGBC and helps businesses save energy costs by 20-30% by using a state-of-the-art HVAC system, double glazed windows, and a cutting-edge building management system.
