If you’re considering buying a commercial office space in Pune, you’re not alone. With a growing startup ecosystem, an expanding IT presence, and a maturing infrastructure landscape, Pune has quickly become one of India’s most promising markets for commercial real estate investment. Business zones like Baner, Kharadi, Hinjewadi and central business zones like JM Road have seen consistent demand from professionals, consultants, and investors seeking rental income or long-term value.
As Pune grows, Central Pune and especially JM Road have emerged as zones where solid real estate trends align with long-term commercial potential. That’s why Maverick by Namrata Group, a premium commercial development on JM Road, is sharing this guide to help future investors make smarter decisions in one of the city’s most reliable commercial markets. Whether you’re an investor, startup founder, or professional planning to own your office, this guide is tailored for you.
Step 1: Choose the Right Location
Location remains the single biggest factor determining the success of any commercial property investment. Consider these:
- Proximity to business hubs: Look for areas near established and emerging commercial districts. JM Road, FC Road, Baner, Kharadi, and Shivajinagar are top choices.
- Connectivity: Easy access to highways, metro stations, and arterial roads boosts convenience for both teams and clients.
- Foot traffic & visibility: Especially for consultants or retail-focused businesses, being located in high-visibility zones increases branding and walk-ins.
JM Road checks all the boxes. Located near Shivaji Nagar, the area connects effortlessly to both central and west Pune. Its dual advantage – business district and lifestyle zone – makes it ideal for serious investors and professionals alike.
Step 2: Budgeting and ROI Planning
Before locking in on a property, consider:
- Upfront costs: Base price, stamp duty, registration, interior work, and legal fees.
- Recurring costs: Maintenance, property tax, common area charges, and potential EMI payments.
- Returns: Rental yield in Pune’s key commercial markets typically ranges between 6% to 10%. JM Road properties, especially Grade-A units, are known to command yields on the higher end.
Use these numbers to evaluate whether the property matches your financial goals. For example, if you’re buying an office to lease out, ensure the rent covers your financing and upkeep costs with surplus.
Step 3: Select the Right Property Type
From pre-leased offices to bare shell spaces, the options in commercial real estate vary widely.
- Pre-leased spaces: Ready tenants, assured income.
- Bare shell units: Customizable but require upfront fit-out investment.
- Co-working spaces: Ideal for agile startups or young entrepreneurs.
- Retail fronts: Excellent for doctors, CA firms, boutiques, and consultants who want visibility.
Maverick by Namrata Group, for instance, offers compact 410 sq.ft. offices to full-floor spaces that cater to all these buyer types – from solopreneurs to larger teams.
Step 4: Legal and RERA Compliance
Ensure:
- The project is registered with MahaRERA.
- Clear land title and usage rights are verified.
- You have access to the agreement for sale, development plans, and the sanctioned layout.
Professional legal guidance is highly recommended before any commercial transaction.
Step 5: Builder Reputation
In commercial property, the builder’s track record often determines whether the project gets timely possession, high-quality construction, and long-term value. Look for:
- Projects delivered
- Investor reviews
- After-sales service
Namrata Group, with over 40 years of legacy and 150+ projects, is one of Pune’s most trusted names in this space. Its new project Maverick brings exceptional office infrastructure to the heart of JM Road – a rare opportunity given the development constraints of the locality.
Step 6: Amenities & Design Features
Today’s businesses expect modern amenities:
- Ample parking
- 24×7 security
- Power backup
- High-speed elevators
- Smart access control
Older buildings in Central Pune often lack these. That’s where projects like Maverick offer an edge – with 4-level robotic parking, 100% DG backup, and aesthetic design.
Step 7: Leasing Potential
If investment income is your focus, evaluate:
- Demand: Is there active tenant demand in the area?
- Vacancy rate: Lower vacancy means faster leasing.
- Tenant profile: Banks, clinics, boutique firms, tech agencies – JM Road attracts all.
Location and infrastructure impact tenant quality. A well-located property with enough parking spaces can command premium rents and attract long-term leases.
