Nippon Life India Asset Management (NAM India), one of the country’s largest asset managers, has strengthened its presence in Mumbai by acquiring two prime commercial properties at One Lodha Place in Lower Parel. The acquisition, valued at ₹486.03 crore, highlights the growing demand for premium office spaces in the city’s vibrant business districts.

Lower Parel, a sought-after commercial hub in Mumbai, boasts excellent connectivity via the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, Eastern Express Highway, and its proximity to the international airport. The ready-to-move One Lodha Place, developed by Macrotech Developers, offers state-of-the-art infrastructure, making it a strategic choice for companies seeking world-class office spaces.

Mumbai’s position as India’s financial capital continues to attract businesses across sectors, especially banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI). “Mumbai remains a magnet for domestic and multinational firms,” said Anand Moorthy, Co-founder and CBO of Capital Market & Services at Square Yards. He noted an increasing shift toward micro-markets like Lower Parel, Andheri, and the Malad-Goregaon corridor. “We are witnessing more than a 40% rise in market value for Grade-A spaces, the first such growth in a decade,” he added, emphasising Mumbai’s global business appeal.

Nippon Life India’s latest acquisition reflects its strategy to expand its footprint in high-growth areas while catering to the needs of India’s evolving investment landscape. Backed by Nippon Life Insurance, NAM India offers diverse financial products through Nippon India Mutual Fund, including equity, debt, and hybrid asset categories. This commitment to innovation and quality has positioned the company as a leader in India’s financial ecosystem.

The purchase also underscores the broader trend of companies investing in premium office spaces as businesses prioritise well-connected, high-quality infrastructure. Lower Parel’s prominence as a commercial hub, combined with the rising demand for Grade-A offices, solidifies its position as a critical player in Mumbai’s real estate market.

As Mumbai’s commercial real estate sector thrives, investments like Nippon Life India reinforce the city’s standing as a global business powerhouse, driving economic growth and innovation.
