Global tech giant Apple is expanding its retail footprint in India, securing 12,616 sq ft of premium retail space in Mumbai\u2019s fast-growing suburb of Borivali. This marks Apple\u2019s fourth store in the country, following locations in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Apple store will be housed in a prominent mall situated just off the Western Express Highway, a key arterial road connecting Mumbai\u2019s suburbs. The India arm of Apple has signed a long-term lease agreement spanning 10 years and 10 months, with monthly rent starting at Rs 17.35 lakh, which works out to approximately Rs 138 per sq ft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to documents accessed by CRE Matrix<\/a>, the lease registration finalized on May 28 reveals that Apple negotiated a 10-month rent-free period. Rent payments will begin after this initial phase, with a lock-in period of the entire lease term for the licensor and 6 years and 6 months for Apple. The agreement also incorporates structured rent escalations of 15% every 36 months to keep pace with market trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, Apple has agreed to a revenue-sharing model with the mall owners. The lease includes a quarterly revenue share of 2% for the first 42 months, increasing to 2.5% thereafter. Common area maintenance (CAM) charges are fixed at Rs 75 per sq ft. Apple has paid a security deposit of Rs 1.04 crore as part of the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This move follows Apple\u2019s recent leasing of an 8,000 sq ft retail space in Bengaluru to establish its third store in India, as well as an office lease of 6,526 sq ft in Mumbai\u2019s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), one of the city\u2019s key commercial hubs. The BKC lease commanded a monthly rental of Rs 738 per sq ft. This indicates Apple\u2019s strategic investment in prime real estate to support both retail and office operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this new retail location in Borivali, Apple is tapping into Mumbai\u2019s rapidly developing suburban markets, catering to the growing tech-savvy population outside the city\u2019s traditional commercial zones. The Western Express Highway area offers excellent connectivity and footfall potential, making it an attractive choice for luxury and tech brands aiming to strengthen their presence in India\u2019s largest metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Apple continues to expand its physical store network in India, the company is set to bring its premium retail experience closer to more consumers, supporting the growing demand for Apple products in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
