Grundfos witnesses the shift of commercial offices towards suburban Mumbai through its pressure boosters

Oberoi Commerz is the first composite 32 storey mixed-use commercial tower at Goregaon (East). This new landmark in Mumbai’s skyline also indicates the emerging trend of the shift of commercial offices towards suburban Mumbai. Rising 133 meters high, Oberoi Commerz is being developed as the region’s new landmark business centre and is all set to be India’s first tallest, fully-glazed commercial structure.

Owing to this accessibility convenience, this architectural landmark will anchor a new dimension in hospitality specially designed for business and corporate travelers; thus marking the beginning of the trend of commercial offices shifting to suburban Mumbai.
