This World Trade Center Kolkata review covers what an office buyer needs before booking: the RERA record, the real price per square foot, the rent it can earn, and a declared completion of December 2026 for Tower I.
World Trade Center Kolkata is Merlin Group’s office campus in Salt Lake Sector V, built under an official licence from the World Trade Centers Association (WTCA). Office space starts at 7,000 sq ft for ₹6 crore, which works out to about ₹8,571 per sq ft across every listed size.
Below: the RERA facts straight from the WBRERA register, how the price compares with Sidus Realty’s own Sector V office data, the rental yield, road distances measured on Google Maps, and what to settle in writing. This guide is written by an authorised channel partner, not the developer, so verify the key points yourself.
For an office, the question isn’t only what you pay per square foot. It’s what a tenant will pay you per square foot, and how soon.
What the WBRERA register says
The first tower is registered with WBRERA as “World Trade Center Salt Lake Tower-I” (earlier World Trade Center NDITA Tower-I). These figures are from the public register, as checked on 26 October 2026:
| Item | Register record |
|---|---|
| RERA number | WBRERA/P/NOR/2025/002844 |
| Registered on | 21 May 2025 |
| Declared completion | December 2026 |
| Land (Tower I) | 1.36 acres |
| Registered promoter | KAIL Limited |
Source: WBRERA public register. Verify at rera.wb.gov.in before you pay anything.
The registered promoter is KAIL Limited, the company holding the site, while the project is marketed and developed by Merlin Group. That is a common structure, but check that the company named in the RERA record is the same one that signs your agreement for sale.
₹8,571 per sq ft, at every size
Listed prices on the project page:
| Office size | Listed price | Approx. ₹/sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 7,000 sq ft | ₹6 Cr | ₹8,571 |
| 14,000 sq ft | ₹12 Cr | ₹8,571 |
| 21,000 sq ft | ₹18 Cr | ₹8,571 |
Our arithmetic: listed price divided by listed area. Offices up to 27,629 sq ft are available. All-inclusive pricing is given on request.
per sq ft is the Salt Lake Sector V office range in Sidus Realty’s Q3 2026 market data. At ₹8,571, WTC lists just below that range, for new Grade-A space with an international brand, against mostly older stock in the Sector V average.
on the listed prices: the rate is the same whether you buy 7,000 or 21,000 sq ft. Larger buyers should negotiate in writing.
is not published. Office efficiency (carpet as a share of the area you pay for) varies a lot between buildings. Ask for it, because it decides how many desks you actually get.
What the space can earn
Sidus Realty’s Q3 2026 data puts Sector V office rent at about ₹59 per sq ft per month. Applied to the smallest unit:
~₹4.13 lakh a month
for 7,000 sq ft at ₹59 per sq ft, or about ₹49.6 lakh a year.
~8.3% gross yield
on the ₹6 crore listed price, before vacancy, maintenance, property tax and fit-out costs.
Rent is the Sector V average from Sidus Q3 2026 data (as of 30 September 2026). New branded space may let above or below that; your actual rent depends on the tenant, lease terms and fit-out.
Who each size suits
Investors buying to lease, and growing firms that want to own their office in Sector V rather than rent.
Mid-sized IT and services firms, and investors targeting a single larger corporate tenant.
Companies consolidating into one owned campus office, or family offices seeking a large leased asset.
Sizes and prices as listed on the project page. Ask for floor-wise availability and the approved floor plan.
What the World Trade Center name actually gives you
Merlin Group holds a licence from the World Trade Centers Association, a network of over 300 World Trade Center properties worldwide. The licence agreement was announced in March 2023 and is described as the first in Eastern India. Occupiers get access to the network’s trade services, events and member contacts.
The brand helps attract tenants and can support rent, but it does not change the basics: location, build quality, efficiency and the tenant you sign. Judge the space on those first.
Where it is, and real road distances
The campus is a 10.5-acre site in the Nabadiganta Industrial Township Authority (NDITA) area of Salt Lake Sector V, on the New Town side of Sector V, with access to EM Bypass and the Major Arterial Road.

Our honest view
Why it stands out
- RERA registered, with Tower I declared for December 2026
- Priced just below the Sector V office range
- Gross yield near 8% at Sector V average rents
- World Trade Center brand and network
- Large floor plates, rare in Sector V
What to weigh
- Large minimum ticket: ₹6 crore
- Carpet area and CAM not yet published
- Registered promoter (KAIL Limited) differs from the brand name
- Only Tower I is on the RERA register so far; later towers have no declared date yet
- Rental yield depends on finding and keeping a tenant
World Trade Center Kolkata suits investors who want a large, branded office asset in Sector V to lease out, and firms that want to own rather than rent their office. On our numbers the price is fair for the location and the yield is reasonable. The real work is in the details: carpet area, CAM, the contracting entity and the possession date. We don’t promise returns. See how it scores on the Sidus Score Board.
