What Makes Worldmark a Global Business District
Global Business Districts are fast becoming the benchmark for how cities compete in the global economy. These urban districts are not simply clusters of office buildings. They are planned ecosystems that bring together business, talent, culture, infrastructure, and lifestyle to drive economic growth.
Worldmark at Aerocity, New Delhi, is India’s defining example of this model. It is not a single development, but a master vision unfolding in four phases. Together, Worldmark 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 spanning over 20 million square feet, forming India’s finest Global Business District.
Worldmark 1.0 is already active with 1.5 million sq.ft of offices and retail. Offices in Worldmark 2.0 are nearing completion, while the Mall at Worldmark will go live by the end of 2027. Worldmark 3.0 and 4.0 are planned for progressive handovers between 2027 and 2032.
What Defines a Global Business District
As outlined in EY’s Global Business Districts Attractiveness Report, a true GBD performs across five core pillars:
- Talent attraction and retention
- Proximity to clients, partners, and global markets
- Quality of the urban environment
- Local and global influence
- Bespoke and future-ready real estate supply
Worldmark Delhi has been planned with all five in mind.
Talent & Connectivity
1. Location and Access
Worldmark sits within the ecosystem of Indira Gandhi International Airport and is surrounded by five national highways, three metro routes (Airport Express, Magenta Line, and upcoming Golden Line), the upcoming intra-city NaMo Bharat Rapid Rail and the proposed Air Train. This level of access supports fast, seamless movement for people and goods.
2. Built for People
From walk-to-work proximity and five-star hotels to smart infrastructure and wellness-led design, Worldmark creates a workplace ecosystem that attracts and retains top talent.
It offers:
- Proximity to premium catchments, international schools, and healthcare facilities
- Abundant green zones and natural light across buildings
- Design that supports employee wellbeing and productivity
- Food, retail, and fitness options on-site that support daily convenience and work-life balance
Mixed-Use, Integrated Planning
1. The Office District
Worldmark 2.0 delivers 3.5 million sq. ft. of premium office space, with flexible floor plates up to 200,000 sq. ft., green building design, and technology-powered environments.
Key developments:
- 4 Worldmark (OC expected Q2 2025)
- 5 Worldmark and 6 Worldmark (OC expected Q3 2025)
- 7 Worldmark (2026)
These are designed with grand arrival lobbies, efficient circulation, biophilic elements, and over 8000 car parks connected by a vestibule tunnel network.
2. Retail and Entertainment
- World St. at Worldmark: A high-street-style F&B destination
- Retail around offices: Entire ground floor across the office blocks activated with retail
- The Mall at Worldmark: India’s largest entertainment-based destination retail

3. Public Realm and Urban Design
Worldmark features pedestrian-only boulevards, landscaped courtyards, and cultural installations. The 1st Cross and 2nd Cross are activation corridors with space for art, pop-ups, and public events.
Every space is designed to feel open, safe, and human-focused. The district encourages walking, social interaction, and community experiences. Indoor air quality, acoustics, and comfort are all built into the design approach.
Global and Local Influence
Worldmark is home to leading global brands across finance, consulting, aviation, retail, and hospitality. With over 40 embassies and consulates located nearby, and the airport a few minutes away, Worldmark acts as a gateway between India and the world.
It serves as a platform for international conferences, trade delegations, and global HQs, positioning New Delhi on the international business map.
As more phases activate between now and 2032, the district’s role as a symbol of modern Indian enterprise will continue to grow.
Future-Ready Real Estate Supply
Each building at Worldmark is designed for performance, sustainability, and adaptability:
- 3 lobbies, 12 check-in points across each building, allowing efficient flow of movement
- High-speed lifts, smart access, and BCAS security standards.
- ESG-aligned designs IGBC Platinum certifications
- Backup power, fire safety, and redundancy systems for uninterrupted operations
Looking Ahead
Worldmark’s full scale will unfold over the next seven years, but the vision is already in motion. It brings together everything a Global Business District demands: access, design, scale, experience, and purpose.
As India looks to position itself as a hub for global enterprise, Worldmark sets the benchmark. Strategically located, future-ready, and built for people, it is where India’s global business story takes shape.
