In a significant boost to Hyderabad’s fast-growing commercial real estate market, McDonald’s has leased a 1.56 lakh sq ft office space for its first Global Capability Centre (GCC) in India.

The deal, as per documents accessed by Propstack, involves a monthly rent of ₹1.43 crore and spans a five-year lease term starting February 1, 2025. The office will be housed in RMZ Nexity’s Tower 20, located in the heart of HITEC City, one of Hyderabad’s most prominent IT and commercial hubs.

The landlord, Prahitha Constructions Pvt. Ltd., will receive a rent of ₹92 per sq ft for the four leased floors, and the agreement includes a security deposit of ₹8.6 crore. A 15% rental escalation is scheduled for February 2028, reflecting long-term confidence in the property’s value and market stability.

This move marks McDonald’s first Global Capability Centre in India, underlining Hyderabad’s growing reputation as a preferred destination for multinational firms looking to establish back-end operations, innovation hubs, and technology centres. It adds to a growing list of major international players betting on Hyderabad’s talent pool and infrastructure readiness.

Hyderabad has attracted tech giants like Microsoft and Facebook with major real estate deals. Last year, Microsoft acquired 25 acres of land in Mekaguda for ₹181.25 crore to expand its footprint. In December 2024, Facebook renewed its lease for 3.7 lakh sq ft of office space at The Skyview, also located in HITEC City, at a monthly rent of ₹2.8 crore.

A recent CBRE report highlights Hyderabad’s robust position in India’s office space market, accounting for 15% of the country’s total office inventory, with over 18% being green-certified. With continued demand from tech firms and GCCs, the city’s total office stock is projected to exceed 200 million sq ft by 2030.

The city has become a thriving hub for advanced technologies like AI, cloud computing, and data analytics, further strengthening its appeal to global corporations. In 2024 alone, office space absorption reached 12.3 million sq ft, reinforcing the city’s momentum as a powerhouse for business operations and innovation.

This McDonald’s deal validates Hyderabad’s appeal to global brands and contributes to the evolution of its commercial real estate ecosystem. The company’s entry into the city’s office landscape reflects a growing trend where non-tech multinationals establish GCCs to support global operations, adding diversity to the tenant profile and accelerating the city’s evolution as a multi-sector hub.

As more companies look to India for strategic, cost-effective, and talent-rich destinations to set up regional centres, Hyderabad continues to lead with scale, readiness, and global interest—and McDonald’s latest lease is the latest proof.
