Knight Frank

Our Knight Frank office is situated over in Marine Lines, right in the heart of Mumbai. If you’ve ever walked around here, you know it’s got that old-school Mumbai feel with all the heritage buildings and the sea breeze coming in. We’re based in one of those buildings. It’s not the newest place, but it has high ceilings and a lot of history. Working here is interesting because you’re never far from the hustle of the city. We spend our days dealing with all sorts of real estate matters, from small flats to bigger commercial spaces. The office itself is pretty functional. We have a lot of filing cabinets and a big table where we spread out our plans and paperwork. It’s not always perfectly tidy, especially on Mondays when everything seems to happen at once. We like the atmosphere of Marine Lines; it feels more real than some of the newer business districts. Most of us take the train in, so we’re used to the daily grind that everyone else faces. We don't put on airs or try to act like we’re more important than we are. We just know the area well and we use that knowledge to help whoever walks through the door. Sometimes we grab a quick snack from the vendors outside and get back to it. It’s a busy life, but it’s a good one here by the coast, and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
