CBRE data pertains to leasing in investment-grade shopping malls, high streets and standalone developments.

Commenting on the trend, Ankit Sharma, SVP-Leasing at Elan Group, said, “Retail is no longer just about transactions, it is about creating vibrant destinations that connect communities, inspire engagement, and elevate everyday life.”

Gaurav Bansal, AVP and Head Leasing at Trehan Iris, said, “The strong momentum in retail leasing and supply during H1 reflects the sector’s resilience and evolving consumer demand. With rising footfalls, robust spending patterns, and a preference for experience-led destinations, retailers are actively expanding their presence across prime and emerging markets.”
Pioneer Urban COO Rakesh Bohra said Gurgaon’s retail real estate outlook for 2025 seems promising, driven by increasing demand for Grade A retail spaces and high-street formats.
