Gurgaon CRE folks, roast my leasing strategy, what would you do with this small commercial building?
My dad has a small commercial building in Sector 28, Gurgaon, near Saraswati Vihar, about 5 minutes walking from MG Road Metro.
He’s getting older and asked me to help lease it out. I assumed local brokers + property portals would be enough, but so far it has been mostly low-effort follow-ups and no clear tenant strategy.
So I’m asking the community: if this was your property, how would you approach it?
Building snapshot: Ground + basement: ~1300 sq ft each. Upper floors: 6 units of ~650 sq ft each across 1st–3rd floor. Tentative upper-floor rent: ₹40k / ₹37k / ₹33k per unit depending on floor. Bare-shell, tenant can fit out as needed.
It’s not a premium mall / DLF / glass-tower type property. More like a practical standalone SCO-style commercial building.
I’m confused about the best direction:
- Would you lease it unit-wise, floor-wise, or try for one tenant for the whole building?
- What tenant type would fit best, clinic, coaching, office, cloud kitchen, dark store, salon, diagnostics, studio, small fulfilment hub?
- Which channels actually work beyond 99acres, Magicbricks, and random local brokers?
- Are there tenant categories that quietly take these spaces but don’t show up on normal portals?
- What would you fix first before marketing it, photos, signage, broker pitch, rent, fit-out flexibility, something else?
Not trying to make this a listing post. I’m genuinely trying to understand the smartest way to get this occupied without wasting months on the wrong approach.
If you’ve leased out or taken a similar commercial space in Gurgaon/NCR, what worked and what was a waste of time?
