Unfurnished office space for rent in Gurgaon suits companies that want interiors designed around their own team, workflows and brand. Larger companies, those with specific technical needs and businesses planning to stay for several years often prefer bare-shell or warm-shell space, where they control layouts, finishes and services.
This guide explains the types of unfurnished space, how fit-out works, what it costs and which lease terms to negotiate.
Planning custom interiors?
Tell us your area and timeline and we will send unfurnished offices, usually the same working day.
Bare-shell versus warm-shell
| Type | What you get | What you add |
|---|---|---|
| Bare-shell | Structure, basic services to the floor | Flooring, ceilings, partitions, AC distribution, lighting, interiors |
| Warm-shell | Some finishes, such as flooring, ceilings, washrooms and AC | Partitions, furniture, IT and branding |
Definitions vary by landlord, so ask for the exact handover specification.
Why choose unfurnished
- Layouts tailored to your team
- Your brand and culture reflected in the design
- Technical requirements such as server rooms built in
- Long-term value from your own fit-out
- Often lower rent than furnished space in the same building
Fit-out timelines
Design, approvals and construction can take weeks for a small office and several months for a large floor. Plan backwards from your move-in date and allow buffers for approvals.
Rent-free fit-out period
Landlords often allow a rent-free period for fit-out. Negotiate its length based on the size of your office and the complexity of the design.
Negotiate the fit-out period
Ask us what rent-free fit-out time and landlord support are typical in each building.
Fit-out costs
Budget for design fees, civil works, partitions, ceilings, flooring, electrical and lighting, air conditioning distribution, IT cabling, furniture, branding and approvals. Some landlords offer a fit-out contribution in return for longer leases.
Building rules
Buildings have fit-out guidelines covering working hours, noise, materials, fire safety and approvals. Ask for these before appointing designers.
Lease terms
- Lease length and lock-in
- Rent and escalation
- Fit-out period and contribution
- Reinstatement obligations at exit
- Maintenance charges
- Expansion and exit options
Reinstatement at exit
Some leases require you to remove your fit-out and return the space to bare-shell at the end. Clarify this upfront, since it adds cost.
Permitted use and approvals
Confirm office approvals, occupation certificate and fire safety requirements. Your fit-out may need its own approvals.
