According to a new report issued by global property consultants Cushman & Wakefield, office market rents decreased by 16 percent in the Asia Pacific region last year. In Mumbai Worli was worst hit.

But India's financial capital is still costlier than New York, Moscow, Paris and Milan when it comes to having a fancy Mumbai office address in say, Nariman Point or Worli.
