Kolkata’s Office Space Demand Surges in Q2 2025 Amid Residential Market Slowdown

Kolkata’s commercial real estate sector experienced a significant upswing in the second quarter of 2025, with office space absorption doubling to 600,000 square feet from 300,000 square feet in the previous quarter. This marks a 40% year-on-year increase, signaling robust growth in the city’s office market.

Commercial Real Estate Sees Robust Growth

The surge in office space demand is attributed to increased leasing activity, particularly in the IT and BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sectors. Salt Lake Sector V and New Town, Kolkata’s primary business districts, continue to attract major corporations seeking to expand their operations. The influx of multinational companies and startups has bolstered the city’s reputation as a burgeoning commercial hub in eastern India.

Residential Sector Faces Challenges

Conversely, the residential real estate market in Kolkata faced headwinds during the same period. Sales dropped by 10% from the previous quarter, totaling approximately 3,525 units sold in Q2 2025. This decline is primarily due to geopolitical uncertainties and rising property prices, which have led to buyer hesitation and a cautious approach to home purchases.

Despite the slowdown in sales, the city added 2,505 new residential units between April and June, representing a 17% increase over Q2 2024. Notably, nearly half of this new supply falls within the mid-price range of ₹40 lakh to ₹80 lakh, catering to the demand for affordable housing options.

Market Outlook Remains Optimistic

Industry analysts remain optimistic about the future of Kolkata’s real estate market. The anticipated stabilization of geopolitical conditions, coupled with gains in the stock market and a significant repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India, are expected to rejuvenate buyer confidence and stimulate demand in the residential sector.

Furthermore, the continued growth in the commercial real estate segment is likely to have a positive spillover effect on the residential market, as increased employment opportunities and economic activity drive the need for housing.

Conclusion

Kolkata’s real estate landscape in Q2 2025 presents a mixed picture, with the commercial sector demonstrating strong growth while the residential market faces temporary challenges. However, the overall outlook remains positive, with expectations of recovery and sustained development in the coming quarters.
