Retail in Gurgaon

Retail units in Gurgaon are valued on footfall and catchment rather than on floor area, which makes location within a development as important as the development itself.

Position inside the project decides the value

Two units of identical size in the same complex can differ substantially in worth depending on frontage, floor level and proximity to the anchor tenant. Ground floor frontage commands a premium for a reason. Before comparing rates between projects, compare positions within them.

Catchment is the underlying asset

Retail performs on the residential population and office workforce within reach of it. A unit in a project surrounded by occupied housing behaves very differently from one where the surrounding towers are still under construction. Establish the occupied catchment today, not the planned catchment.

Frequently asked questions

How is retail property valued in Gurgaon?

On footfall and catchment rather than area alone. Frontage, floor level and proximity to anchor tenants all affect value materially.

Is retail riskier than office space?

Leases are typically shorter and performance is more sensitive to footfall, so income can be more volatile.

What should I check before buying a retail unit?

The occupied catchment nearby, the tenant mix in the project, the frontage and floor position, and the common area maintenance terms.
