EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In past years, Bangalore’s retail journey has been
booming with several international & national brands setting-up
their stores in the city. Favourable demographics, robust
economy, rising per capita income, easy availability of credit &
large scale retail developments have fueled the growth of
Bangalore’s retail market.
Bangalore today houses large format retail malls catering to the
luxury segment as well as value shoppers. The city is a prefered
retail destination in the country after Mumbai and Calcutta. As of 2012,
total operational mall space in the city is added to be 7.65 million
sq.ft and the vacancy is 7%.
Significant residential activity & availability of land fuelled the
development of shopping malls in SBD & PBD locations of the
city. In terms of GLA, PBD and SBD respectively account for 48%
and 42% of the total shopping mall space while CBD locations
occupies 10% of the total mall space in the city.
Bangalore in present houses neighbourhood, community and regional
malls. Mantri Mall at Malleshwaram, Phoenix Mall at
Whitefield & Orion Mall at Dr. Rajkumar Road are key
regional malls while The Forum at Koramangala & Meenakshi Mall
at Bannerghatta Road are prominent malls in the city.
Among the PBD locations, residential micro-market
of ORR - Sarjapur has an opportunity for development of shopping
malls. Whitefield on the other hand has substantial operational mall
space and accounts for large percentage of total operational space
Amongst PBD . Location of Mysore Rd, Bannerghatta Rd,
Tumkur Rd & Hosur Road are in balanced state with retail
activity in these locations complementing the residential activities.
Retail activities across Bangalore North and Old Madras Road
(OMR) are booming and have retail infrastructure development
potential in the upcoming years.
BANGALORE: RETAIL MAKET REPORT 2
Malls across the city are essentially anchored around a
department store & / or a hyper-market or super-market chain.
Few years ago, entertainment in the shopping malls was
limited to multiplexes however; entertainment is now growing to a
status of being an important anchor. Brigade Orion at Rajajinagar
and Park Square in Whitefield along with multiplexes have roped in
various gaming retailers.
Wholesale retails is one of the emerging formats in Bangalore.
Conducive Government regulation have led to the entry of many
such players in the city and several new brands are
progressively venturing into the city’s retail market. Future Group
with Salarpuria Sattva Group is set to launch first of its kind
wholesale market - World Market on Old Madras Road in the city.
Luxury retail has come as a new concept here at the
establishment of UB City at Vittal Mallya Rd. This
segment has witnessed slow but steady growth. However, the
presence of luxury retail is expected to be restricted to the CBD &
SBD locations.
Shopping mall formats in the city continue to develope over time. One
MG Road, in CBD is designed as an enclosed strip mall and lately
Karle Properties is planning to develop a Town Center, which is a
combination of open-air / high-street and an enclosed mall format.
Rental values in shopping malls in the city are expected to
witness a steady growth within 1 - 3 years, owing primarily to a
steady increase in the metropolitan population and relaxation of
FDI rules.
High-street locations will carry on to coexist with the malls in the
city despite infrastructure issues and increase in mall space.
Rental values across high-street locations are likely to witness
nominal growth in short term.

GROWTH OF RETAIL SECTOR IN BANGALORE
5
In the past few years, Bangalore’s retail journey has been growing with several international and national brands setting-up theirretail stores in the city. Favorable demographics, robust economy, rising per capita income, easy availability of credit and largescale retail developments have fueled the growth of Bangalore’s retail market.
Growth in the IT/ITeS industry has led to migration of the
educated middle-class to the city, consequently steering
residential developments as well. Bangalore’s residential
market witnessed an annual absorption of24,000
residential units during calendar year2012 and the
residential market is projected to grow at an annual growth
rate of 15%, making the city one of the most promising
residential markets in the country.
Growing Population
At 9.6 million, Bangalore urban district is the fifth most
populous urban district in India as of 2011. It registered a
decadal growth rate of 47% as compared to 2001. The city is
expected to continue its growth trajectory; and population
for the year 2021 is pegged at 14.0 million.
Robust Economy and Growing Per-capita Income:
Bangalore’s economic development is attributed to the
healthy growth of its IT/ITeS industry. Currently the sector
accounts for more than 1.0 million jobs in the city and will
continue to add over 100,000 jobs every year for next 3 - 5
years. Apart from IT/ITeS sector, the city is also witnessing
advancements in the field of biotechnology, aerospace and
aviation sectors.
Robust economy, growing population and high disposable
incomes have led to emergence of the city as a preferred
retail destination by both national and international brands
and over the years, retail spaces in the city have witnessed
an evolution in terms of design and quantum of spaces.
Bangalore today is the most sought after retail destination
in the country after Mumbai and Delhi mainly due to the
following reasons:
The growth in the IT/ITeS sector has been well supported
by the growth in the per-capita income of the city. As per1
McKinsey , by 2030 Bangalore is likely to have the highestper-capita GDP among all the Indian cities.
Shift from necessities to lifestyle products:
Retail growth in the city is linked to consumer needs andbehavior. Rising income levels and global exposure haveresulted in increased purchasing power. Additionally,consumer spends have shifted to lifestyle products andservices from daily necessities.

The high-street locations of Bangalore have captured the retail trends and over the years have adapted to changing retail needsand consumer aspirations. Despite offering better brand visibility as against a shopping mall, key challenges faced by theselocations include traffic congestion, lack of parking space and unobstructed pedestrian walkways.
A high-street synonymous with a market or bazaar is a prime
retail hub in a city with street aligned retail stores. These are
predominant avenues for retail, trading and entertainment
activities. Early high-street locations of Brigade Road and
Commercial Street have been in existence since 1950s are
located in close proximity to the CBD.
With the spatial expansion of the city, the high-street locations
are no longer confined to the CBD area. During the last decade
prominent high street locations of Indiranagar 100 feet Road,
Jayanagar 11th Main Road, New BEL Road and Marathahalli
have emerged towards the Secondary Business Districts (SBD)
and Peripheral Business Districts (PBD).
The high-streets of the city exhibit distinct characteristics and
cater to a diverse target segment. Brigade Road and
Commercial Street continue to remain the most sought after
high-street locations in the city; Lavelle Road2attracts High
Networth Individuals (HNIs) and super rich of the city, offering
niche and exclusive products. Marathahalli over the years has
developed as a location for discount / outlet stores, whereas,
New BEL Road has emerged as an important high-street
location catering to residential areas of Sanjaynagar,
Sadashivnagar and Rajajinagar.
Of the SBD locations, Indiranagar 100 feet Road has evolved
from an upmarket plush residential location to one of the most
preferred retail destinations by both national and international
brands. High-street locations of Jayanagar and Malleshwaram
continue to interest retailers in the women’s apparel, gems and
jewelry segment.
Key areas witnessing increased retail activities in Bangalore
North include Kamanahalli Main Road and Sahakarnagar while
Marenahalli Road (JP Nagar - ORR stretch) towards south-
west of the city is gaining prominence as a retail high-street
mainly due to limited shopping mall space in the vicinity.
During 2009 - 12, rental values across high-street locations of
the city grew annually in the range of 5 - 9%mainly due to limited
upcoming supply and lower vacancy rates.
2Lavelle Road includes areas of Lavelle Road and Vittal Mallya Road
Bangalore’s high-street locations continue to attract national andinternational retail brands regardless of increased mall space inthe city due to higher brand visibility and considerable footfalls.However, traffic congestion, lack of unobstructed pedestrianwalkways and limited parking facilities are some of the basicconcerns that require improvement.
When profiling of tenants3in select high-street locations of the
city- a key observation was high-street locations are preferred
mainly by Apparel and Footwear Tenants followed by Food and
Beverages(F&B), and Electronic Goods, reason being
consumer buying trends and real estate cost.
Characteristics of four prominent high-street locations in the city -
two established high-streets and two having evolved in the last of
couple of years have been addressed in the study.

Brigade Road forms the stretch between Cauvery Store on M.G.Road and Opera House abutting Residency Road.
One of the most prominent high-street locations of Bangalore,Brigade Road has been in existence since the British era.
During 1970 - 80s, this high-street gained prominence as anentertainment hub of the city with existence of theatres namelyOpera House and Rex.
This high-street also boasts of first few shopping complexes in thecity; Mota Royal Arcade and Fifth Avenue are operational sinceearly 1990s.
Presence of shopping complexes strengthened Brigade Road as ahigh-street location and over the years this location has emergedas the most preferred location for any new brands venturing intocity. The high-street houses flagship stores of various retail brandsand is dominated largely by Apparel and Footwear brands.
This high-street in coming years will continue to attract retailersowing to improved connectivity with the completion of Metro RailPhase I. This is certain to boost footfalls across this location. Due tolimited availability of new supply and low vacancy rates, rentalvalues across this high-street location are expected to increasenominally in short to medium term.

Commercial Street emerged as a prominent retail streetserving the then Cantonment area mainly because of itsproximity to Shivaji Nagar. Earlier, this high-street wasessentially a traditional market characterized by small formatretail stores.
Commercial Street now accommodates contemporary brandsand modern format retail stores while simultaneously retainingits character and the traditional bazaar feel. This high-streetendures sizeable retail stores mainly targeting women’sapparel and accessories segment.
There are no operational or planned malls in this high-street;existing department stores along this high-street includeWestside and Max.
Key challenges faced by this high-street is lack of availability ofparking slots leading to congestion during peak shopping hoursand weekends.
Rental values across this high-street location are likely tocontinue to the existing growth trend mainly due to lack ofnewer retail spaces and lower vacancy rates.

Once an upmarket, plush residential area, Lavelle Roadcurrently has established itself as a luxury high-street ofBangalore.
In early 2000s, this high-street had a few exclusive restaurantsand lounges. Completion of UB City in 2008 and proximity toaffluent neighbourhood triggered the development of luxuryretail spaces along this high-street location.

Indiranagar 100 feet Road constitutes the stretch between
Domlur Junction (Stanley Boutique) and the Old Madras Road
Junction.
During its inception, this area was conceptualized as a
residential area. Post amendment in the zoning regulations
that facilitated development of commercial / retail properties,
this area started witnessing an increase in retail activity
primarily opening of restaurants, cafes and lounges.
Over the years, the high-street has witnessed penetration of
various brands in Apparel and Footwear, Electronic Goods
segment apart from the F&B segment.
As compared to other high-streets of Bangalore, Indiranagar
100 feet Road has a better planned layout, well laid pedestrian
walkways as well as free parking facility.
Areas around 12th Main command higher rents as opposed to
areas around Domlur flyover or near CMH Road. Additionally,
completion of Metro Rail Phase I in this region has improved
connectivity between CMH Road to Domlur Junction.
However, it has adversely impacted the stores between Old
Madras Road and CMH Road by reducing their visibility.
In the coming year rental values across this high-street are
likely to continue the past growth trend.

*The city has been categorized into three major micro-markets - CBD, SBD and PBD. Please refer Terms of Reference for spatial classification of the city.

As of 2012, operational shopping mall space in the city is 7.65 million sqft; projected to double by 2016.
Emergence of Bangalore as a preferred retail destination led toentry of several national and regional developers. Keydevelopers including Phoenix Mills Limited, Brigade Groupand Mantri Group continue to expand their retail portfolio in thecity. The city today has more than 20 operational shoppingmalls accounting for 7.6516million sqft.
Non-availability of large land parcels in CBD locations andsignificant residential activity in PBD locations has led toincreased development of shopping malls along PBDlocations. In terms of Gross Leasable Area (GLA)17, PBD and
SBD account for 48% and 42% respectively of the total
shopping mall space and CBD locations contribute to 10% of
total mall space in the city.
Secondary Business District (SBD) locations over the past few
years have witnessed increased supply of large land parcels
for redevelopment paving the way for development of
shopping malls. Retail activity in this micro-market is expected
to continue the growth trajectory mainly due to growing
catchment area, limited mall space in CBD locations,
availability of large land parcels for development and
enhanced connectivity via Metro Rail phase I. Key malls that
commenced operations in last one year in SBD locations
include Brigade Orion (0.75 million sqft) at Dr. Rajkumar Road
and Mantri Square (0.93 million sqft) at Malleshwaram.
Amongst the PBD locations, established residential location of
ORR - Sarjapur provides opportunity for development of
shopping malls in short term, while Whitefield on the other
hand has witnessed substantial penetration of retail activity.
Locations of Hosur Road, Bannerghatta Road, Kanakpura
Road, Mysore Road andTumkur Road support retail
infrastructure complementing the residential activities. Retail
activity in Bangalore North and Old Madras Road (OMR) is
burgeoning and these micro-markets have high potential for
development of shopping malls in medium to long term.
Whitefield accounts for highest mall space; it constitutes nearly
69% of total mall space in PBD locations. Whitefield over the
years has emerged as a self-sustaining location with
commercial, residential and retail developments. Key
operational malls in this location include Inorbit Mall (0.34
million sqft), Phoenix Market City (0.97 million sqft) and Park
Square Mall (0.45 million sqft). Owing to significant existing
and impending mall space, Whitefield exhibits lesser potential
for development of new malls in short to medium term.
Although ORR-Sarjapur stretch is one of the most promising
residential locations of Bangalore, the location is currently
dependent on SBD locations for its retail needs. Soul Space
Spirit(0.3 million sqft) is the only operational mall in this
location. With no malls under construction, this location is
highly suitable for development of shopping malls in short
term.
Kanakpura Road currently lacks presence of shopping malls,
but has substantial under-construction and planned mall
space. Key shopping malls in advanced stage of planning
include Mantri Arena (0.82 million sqft), and Puravanakara
Mall (0.45 million sqft).
Lack of availability of land for development, restricted land-
use zoning and proximity to SBD locations of Koramangala
and Jayanagar are key reasons that have restricted the
development of malls in Bannerghatta Road. Currently the
location has one operational mall Royal Meenakshi Mall (0.34
million sqft). This location has limited potential for
development of malls mainly due to significant mall supply in
SBD locations.
Mysore Road currently accounts for nearly 0.5 million sqft of
operational mall space. The malls here mainly cater to daily
requirements, lacking entertainment and fine-dining options.
Limited residential activity in this location has restricted
development of malls in this micro-market and has limited
upcoming and planned mall space.
Growth in residential activity over the past few years has led to
increased retail demand along Tumkur Road and this location
is a potential destination for mall activity. Currently, the
location does not have any operational mall, but houses Metro
Cash and Carry Outlet (Cash and Carry format). Vaishnavi
Sapphire (0.25 million sqft) is one of the key malls likely to be
operational by2013 end and BIG Shopping Center is
expected to open their flagship store BIG (0.42 million sqft) in
this location.
Limited residential activities along Hosur Road has restricted
the development of malls in this region. Presently, there are no
operational malls, however, with a few large-scale residential
projects coming up and with the proposed Metro Rail phase II-
this location is set to witness increased retail activity. Neo Mall
(1.35 million sqft) at Patel Neo Town is among the key
upcoming malls in this location.
Old Madras Road, of-late has witnessed increased residential
activity with major Class A developers launching their
residential projects. Currently, not many retail projects are
planned in this micro-market however; retail activity across
this micro-market is anticipated to gain momentum in the
medium to long term. Salapuria Sattva Group is set to launch
the World Market (1.0 million sqft) in this location.
Despite commercial activity in Bangalore North being in
nascent stage, this region has witnessed increased residential
supply. Shift in the developers’ interest towards this location
has made way for many planned retail projects. Key
developers including Brigade Group, MFAR Holdings,
Century Group and Ozone Group have planned shopping
malls in Bangalore North.

SHOPPING MALL: CLASSIFICATION
21
Shopping malls in Bangalore can be predominantly categorized as neighbourhood, community and regional malls based on theanchor tenant, GLA and size of the trade area it serves.
International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) defines a
shopping mall as a group of retail establishments that is
planned, developed, owned and managed as a single property
with on-site and basement parking. Shopping mall’s size and
orientation are generally determined by the market
characteristics of the trade area served by the mall.
Shopping malls can be classified based on its tenancy mix and
size of the trade area it serves, not solely on the GLA of the
mall. Adapting from the definition as suggested by Urban Land
Institute(ULI) and ICSC, shopping malls in the city can
essentially be categorized as:
Neighbourhood Mall: Neighbourhood mall focuses on
convenience goods that meet the daily needs of an immediate
neighbourhood. Usually anchored by a super-market,
neighbourhood malls tend to serve a trade area within 2 - 3 km
radius and GLA for these malls range between 100,000 -
300,000 sqft of GLA.
Gopalan Arcade Mall (0.16 million sqft) and Gopalan Legacy
Mall (0.18 million sqft)are prominent neighbourhood malls in
the city. Elements Mall with Auchan hyper-market as one of its
anchor tenant and Vaishnavi Sapphire Mall with More super-
market as its anchor tenant are among the key upcoming
neighbourhood malls.
Community Mall: Community mall while providing daily
necessities also offer a wider range of merchandise, home
furnishings and entertainment options than the neighbourhood
mall.
Forum Mall (0.36 million sqft) at Koramangala, Royal
Meenakshi Mall at Bannerghatta Road (0.38 million sqft) are
among the operational community malls in the city.
Forthcoming Vega City Mall (0.42 million sqft) on Bannerghatta
Road is likely to evolve as a community mall.
Regional Mall: A regional mall offers a wider range in terms of
retail category, entertainment and food. This kind of a retail
development depending on its tenancy mix has a potential to
cater to the trade area ranging from 5 - 15 km.
Brigade Orion at Dr. Rajkumar Road (0.75 million sqft), Mantri
Square at Malleshwaram(0.933 million sqft) and Phoenix Market
City (0.97 million sqft) at Whitefield are categorized as regional
malls. Planned mall by Nitesh Estates at Indiranagar (0.8 million
sqft) and Mantri Mall (1.20 million sqft) at Agara Junction are
likely to be positioned as regional malls by virtue of its size
thereby catering to a larger catchment.
Specialty Mall: A specialty mall employs a unifying theme that is
carried out by the retail stores in their merchandize. These malls
may rely on discretionary income expenditures and provide one-
stop shopping experience for a specific product type or price
segment. These malls could be anchored by an upmarket /
premium Multi-Brand Outlet (MBO) format while fine dinning and
leisure also play a key anchor role.
The Collection - UB City at Vittal Mallya Road can be categorized
as a Specialty mall designed as a Luxury Mall. Upcoming malls
with alike theme in the city include Galaxy (0.19 million sqft) by
Embassy Group at Residency Road and City View by Westcourt
Real Estate (0.06 million sqft) on Bellary Road.
However, specialty malls focusing exclusively on sale of home
and furnishing products, cars and auto-accessories, gold or
electronic and white goods are currently un-explored in the city.
Table below compares the broad indicators to define the shopping
malls.

Until the last decade, development of malls was at a nascent stage. However, with the progress of the city’s retail infrastructuretowards a differential phase, Bangalore is expected to see entry of new mall formats including a Strip Mall and a Town Center.
Over the years, shopping malls in the city have continuallyinvented a variety of additional real estate products toaccommodate advancing trends in retailing. As a result,shopping malls based on their configuration, can be furthercategorized as follows:
Enclosed Mall: These are enclosed malls, with a climate-controlled walkway between two facing strips of stores.

Open-air malls:
Strip center: A strip center is a single or multi level row ofstores or service outlets managed as a coherent retail entity,with on-site or basement parking. A strip mall usually designedon a strip of land is configured in a straight line, or has an "L"shape depending on the dimensions of the land parcel.
One MG Road (0.18 million sqft) by G-Corp despite being anenclosed mall has incorporated design elements inherent to aStrip mall with retail stores facing the street. This mall has beendesigned as a combination of open-air / high-street format andan enclosed mall like format.
Emerging Retail Format: Organized Wholesale Retail
Town Center: A town center is defined as an open-air centerwith public space and street front retailing on at least twopedestrian streets. Town centers are essentially parts ofintegrated developments with residential, office and civic usesalong with retail component thereby creating an ambience ofdowtown.
Proposed shopping mall by Karle Properties - Karle TownCenter (1.4 million sqft) is expected to be a community malldesigned as a Town Center having a combination of open-air /high-street and an enclosed mall like format.
Before economic liberalization, wholesale markets in the city were restricted to the “petta” regions. Areas ofChikpet, Ballepet, Akkipet , Cubbonpet - continued to cater to the wholesale retail demands of the city rangingfrom grocery to stationery items to textiles.
In 1997, with Government of India (GoI) permitting 100% FDI in Cash and Carry formats, the city witnessed entryof major cash and carry players in the organized retail sector and prominent retailers like Metro Cash and Carryand Decathlon set-up their stores in the city.
Going forward, the wholesale market in Bangalore is expected to witness entry of many international playerssuch as Best Price by Bharti Walmart, Carrefour and expansion of existing players including Metro Cash andCarry and Decathlon.

Shopping mall in SBD offer an advantage as compared to malls in CBD owing to high ATD, substantial footfalls, better mall infrastructure and lesser rentals.
Shopping mall rentals mainly depend on the location of the mall
and the size and location of the store in the mall.
Total occupancy cost for a retail outlet includes both rent as well18
Post 2009, shopping mall rentals across CBD witnessed no
major change due to increased mall space supply in the SBD
locations. Malls rentals in SBD locations witnessed marginal
appreciation in rental values in the range of 10 - 12% during
2009 - 12.as the Common Area Maintenance (CAM) charges . CAMcharges across malls in Bangalore range between INR 20 - 26
per sqft per month on Super built-up area.
19Annual ATD on Useable Carpet Area (UCA) across SBD mallsrange from INR 8,000 to 16,000 higher than the ATD for CBDmalls, which ranges from INR 5,000 to 9,000 . Higher ATD inSBD is attributed to growing catchment area and availability ofbetter mall infrastructure as against CBD. Comparable rentalsand higher ATD offer an advantage to shopping malls in SBDlocations when compared to CBD locations.
Of the SBD locations, Forum Mall at Koramangala charges a
higher rent of INR 420 - 450 per sqft mainly due to higher foot
falls and higher ATD. The Forum not only attracts the highest
foot falls but also accounts for the highest ATD of nearly INR
16,000 per year per UCA20

Rentals
Amongst the PBD locations, mall rentals in Bannerghatta Roadincreased by 8 - 10%, but were insignificant in Whitefield andMysore Road.
Shopping mall rentals across CBD locations of Bangalore to
witness nominal growth in the short term mostly due to
increased mall space supply and better infrastructure in SBD
locations.
Rentals across SBD locations are expected to sustain this
growth trend within the next three years, owing to minimal
prevailing vacancy rates and moderate pre-commitments.
High impending mall space supply in PBD locations likely to
contain the rental values at current levels for the next 1 year.

OUTLOOK
By 2015, Bangalore is expected to witness an addition of nearly
5.60 million sqft; PBD locations account for nearly 70% of this
upcoming supply.
The attractive micro market for development of a shoppingmall in short term is ORR - Sarjapur due to the lack of existing andunder-construction mall space. Meanwhile Bangalore North andOld Madras Road have potential for development of malls inmedium to long term.
Owing to significant existing and impending mall space, Whitefielddoes not have potential for development of new malls in short tomedium term.
Shift in the developers’ interest towards Bangalore North has made
way for many planned retail projects in this micro-market.
Consequently, this is a potential choice for mall activity in the
coming 3 - 5 years.
Retail activity in Old Madras Road is expected to gain momentum
in medium to long term, mainly due to increase in residential
supply, improved connectivity and economic development towards
Hoskote Industrial Area.
As against the last decade wherein development of malls was still
in a nascent stage, the city is currently witnessing a differentiation
phase with the development of newer formats of malls and retail
infrastructure. Previously malls in the city were primarily
community malls. However, entry of national developers and
availability of larger land parcels have led to the development of
regional malls in the city.
Malls in the city are largely anchored around an Apparel and
Footwear brand, F&B, entertainment and / or a hyper-market
chain. Till the recent past, entertainment in the retail malls was
confined to multiplexes however; going forward other forms of
entertainment are going to be an important part of the anchor.
With significant luxury brands planning to foray in to the city’s
market, demand for luxury malls is likely to remain strong.
Despite increasing mall space in the city, key high-street locations
of the city shall continue to attract retailers mainly due to better
brand visibility, optimum catchment area reach and convenience of
access.
In light of 51% FDI allowance for multi—brand retail by
Government of Karnataka - the demand for retail space in the city is
expected to strengthen in the coming years. Prevailing low
vacancy rates, high footfalls and strong economic outlook are likely
to positively impact the rental values across both shopping malls
and high street locations.
