Get ready, Bengaluru! The Swedish home furnishing giant IKEA is all set to make a grand entrance by signing an Agreement to Lease (ATL) a whopping 1.2 lakh square feet of retail space in Purva Zentech Park. This huge commercial development sits on Kanakapura Road, right in the heart of the action. Purva Zentech Park is no ordinary spot – it’s a massive 9.6 lakh sq ft mixed-use commercial marvel just a brisk five-minute walk from Konankunte Metro Station and Forum Mall. This place doesn’t just boast size; it’s a proud Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) Gold certified project, meaning it’s built with care for the environment. What makes this agreement extra special? According to Rajat Rastogi, CEO- West & Commercial Assets at Puravankara Limited, "We are excited to onboard IKEA at Purva Zentech Park. Their decision to occupy retail space of more than 1.2 lakh square feet of leasable area across two floors is a strong endorsement of the project’s strategic location, smart design, and adaptable retail layout." The space handover is expected in the first quarter of 2026, with IKEA ready to start its operations soon after. Bengaluru's southern corridor is buzzing, with leasing activity growing steadily, and this deal just adds more fuel to the fire. Rastogi added, "With Bengaluru’s leasing activity showing consistent growth, especially in the southern corridor, we are confident the project will become a vibrant hub for both business and lifestyle. IKEA’s presence marks a significant beginning and will play a key role in shaping the project’s appeal and tenant mix." But the excitement doesn’t stop here! Puravankara is working on a huge commercial development pipeline of 3.2 million sq ft. Of this, nearly 2 million sq ft is expected to get occupancy certificates this financial year, meaning more dynamic spaces are coming up to meet Bengaluru’s growing demand. All in all, Purva Zentech Park is gearing up to be the place where smart business meets lively lifestyle – and with IKEA stepping in, the buzz is only going to grow louder!
