- B Kandhari Group Insights
Mumbai has always been India’s commercial nerve centre — a city where business, culture, and luxury retail converge. As the economy bounces back post-pandemic, one sector showing exceptional resilience and promising returns is retail real estate — especially premium showroom spaces in strategic micro-markets across the city.
- Rising Demand for Retail Showrooms
The demand for well-located retail showrooms in Mumbai has surged over the past 12–18 months, and the trend continues into 2025. Several factors are driving this demand:
- Brand Expansion: Indian and international brands alike are expanding physical presence beyond malls — seeking visibility on high-street locations like Linking Road (Bandra), Colaba Causeway, Fort, and Juhu.
- Experiential Retail: As customers return to in-person shopping, retailers are investing in experiential showrooms that enhance the customer journey.
- Investor Interest: Investors are eyeing high rental yield assets, with retail showrooms in Mumbai often delivering 6–8% ROI, significantly higher than residential.
- What’s Trending in Mumbai’s Retail Space?
- Luxury Brands & Designer Labels are leasing flagship stores in South Mumbai and Bandra-Khar belt.
- Electronics, lifestyle, and home decor retailers are seeking large-format showrooms in suburban markets like Andheri, Goregaon, and Powai.
- Franchise-driven retail is seeing sharp growth in Tier I and Tier II suburbs.
- High-Demand Zones in Mumbai
Some of the most active micro-markets for retail showroom leasing and sales include:
- Bandra West – Linking Road / Turner Road
- Lower Parel – Senapati Bapat Marg / Palladium zone
- Andheri West – Lokhandwala & Veera Desai
- Fort / Kala Ghoda – Heritage meets High Footfall
- Ghatkopar / Chembur – Eastward growth of commercial retail
- What Are Brands Looking For?
- Visibility: Corner plots, glass frontage, and wide road exposure
- High Footfall: Proximity to residential catchments and commercial hubs
- Premium Interiors: Ready-to-move fit-outs and customization-friendly layouts
- Parking & Accessibility: Crucial in markets like Juhu and Bandra
- Outlook for 2025 & Beyond
As consumer sentiment strengthens and global brands look toward India as a key retail growth market, Mumbai will continue to be a magnet for retail real estate investment. With infrastructure projects like Mumbai Metro expansion, Coastal Road, and Mumbai Trans Harbour Link, connectivity is set to boost newer areas into prime retail spots.
