Retail Real Estate News: the context
Retail real estate in India spans Grade A malls, high-street shopfronts and neighbourhood strip retail. Site selection turns on catchment quality, footfall, co-tenancy and the anchor mix. Mall units are usually a minimum-guarantee rent per sq ft or a revenue-share percentage, whichever is higher, plus CAM and a marketing contribution; high streets are a straight rent per sq ft with a large security deposit.
This page follows mall leasing, high-street rent movements, brand expansion and new retail supply across the major cities. HSN Realty advises brands and F&B operators on catchment analysis, shortlisting and landlord negotiation.
