While ESR is known for creating and managing large scale warehousing and logistics parks, providing superior services to their clients, GMR’s contribution to India’s growing infrastructural prowess is far reaching in terms of landmark facilities. We feel privileged to have been a part of this landmark transaction and look forward to the developments this deal will bring in the fast-growing segment of warehousing and logistics sector in the country.”
Shishir Baijal further added, “This is a prestigious association for Knight Frank bringing together two significant players of warehouse and logistics sector in the upcoming location of Hyderabad. The city, which has been witnessing tremendous growth in recent times in office and residential sector, is also a high potential location for warehousing and logistics development on account of its catchment as well as feeder locations. It can be gauged by the fact that the market saw warehouse leasing activities double between 2017 and 2018.”
