Google leased 649,000 sq ft of office space in Alembic City in Whitefield, Bengaluru. Sources report a monthly fee of ₹62 per sq ft with a three-year lock-in term. Google has been proactively purchasing conventional and flexible office premises in key Indian cities to expand its footprint.

The connectivity boost that the Metro network would bring in the congested Whitefield neighbourhood by connecting it to the city's core is expected to increase real estate prices in the area and its surrounds, according to an industry expert.
