If you work in IT (or you’re planning your next switch), “Baner” usually means one thing: solid offices + good food + quick access to Balewadi, Aundh, Pashan, and Hinjewadi-side routes. But Baner is also very building-specific. Some locations feel premium and corporate, some are great for coworking, and a few are simply known because so many teams keep moving in and out.
This blog is a practical shortlist of popular commercial buildings in Baner. For each building, you’ll get:
- why it’s known,
- what kind of companies/teams typically operate there (and examples where reliably listed),
- what it’s like day-to-day.
Note: tenant lists change often. I’ve only named companies where a credible property/tenant listing explicitly mentions them, or where the company address is broadly listed across business directories and workspace platforms.
1) Amar Business Zone (ABZ), Baner
ABZ is one of Baner’s most recognizable office-and-retail style business destinations, with strong connectivity and constant activity (which is exactly why many people like working here). Amar Builders positions it as a high-connectivity business location.
Companies / teams you’ll typically find
- Coworking operators & flexible offices: DevX is listed at Amar Business Zone on coworking platforms so you’ll see startups, product teams, sales teams, and remote-first companies running their Pune base from here.
- Retail brands inside the complex (helps the “everything nearby” vibe): multiple retail brands are reported as being present including Zudio (useful for quick errands after work).
Why IT folks like it
- Great “work + quick chores” convenience (coffee, food, basic shopping nearby)
- Works well if your team prefers flexible workspaces (coworking floors)
Reality check: ABZ can be busy in peak hours Baner traffic is real, so plan commute timing smartly. (Local reporting has repeatedly pointed out congestion pressure in Baner/Balewadi due to commercial growth.)
2) Westport, Pan Card Club Road (Baner)
Westport is usually seen as a more “corporate office building” option on Pan Card Club Road. Property listings describe it as an operational standalone office building with multi-floor inventory.
Companies / teams you’ll typically find
- Coworking inside the building: UrbanWrk is listed as operating from Westport (Pan Card Club Road), so expect a mix of tech, consulting, design, and sales teams using flexible office setups.
Why IT folks like it
- Pan Card Club Road has a “business cluster” feel
- Coworking + office ecosystem makes it easier to network / interview / switch without traveling too far
3) Amar Business Park, Baner–Mahalunge Road side
This is often described as a Grade A mixed-use development with commercial space and amenities. Importantly, one property listing explicitly mentions present tenants—which is rare and useful.
Companies (explicitly listed on a commercial property listing)
- Schindler India (listed as a present tenant)
Why IT folks like it
- Closer to the Baner–Mahalunge/Balewadi direction (helpful if your life is split between Baner and Wakad/Balewadi)
- More “office park” style than a small standalone building
4) Kohinoor Business Tower (KBT), Baner
KBT is positioned as a landmark-grade commercial tower project in Baner, described by the developer as a 22-storey icon.
Companies / teams you’ll typically find
- More premium corporate office positioning (think larger, brand-conscious offices)
- Better suited for companies wanting a “tower” presence (client meetings, premium interiors)
Good to know: Because it’s premium-positioned, total cost (rent + maintenance + fit-out) tends to be higher than many older Baner buildings.
5) Other well-known commercial options you’ll hear about in Baner
These often show up on office listings and local search platforms for Baner’s commercial inventory. (These are included because young professionals commonly hear these names when shortlisting office locations.)
- Additional Amar commercial inventory is frequently listed across real-estate platforms under Baner micro-market.
- Westport also appears prominently on local business directories with heavy footfall/reviews, which indicates high daily usage and awareness.
How to judge a “good” office building as a young IT professional (quick checklist)
1) Commute practicality > everything
Ask: Which route is least painful daily? Baner Road vs Pan Card Club Road vs Baner–Mahalunge side can change your commute massively.
2) Flex space inside the building is a plus
Buildings with coworking options are great because:
- you can shift teams faster,
- you’ll see more cross-company movement,
- interviews/networking become easier.
3) Food + quick services nearby matters
If lunch/coffee is a 15–20 min mission, your “workday quality” drops fast.
4) Parking and entry/exit can make or break it
Baner has congestion pressure so buildings with smoother access/parking reduce daily stress.
