What are the types of retail real estate properties?

Retail real estate in India can be classified into four major categories:

• Shopping Malls: Large, structured retail centers housing multiple brands, entertainment zones, food courts, and multiplexes. Examples include Phoenix Marketcity (Mumbai), Select Citywalk (Delhi), and Orion Mall (Bangalore).
• High-Street Retail: Retail stores located in prime city locations, known for their premium footfall and brand positioning. Examples: Brigade Road (Bangalore), Connaught Place (Delhi), and Linking Road (Mumbai).
• Standalone Retail Stores: Independent retail outlets catering to specific customer segments such as boutiques, supermarkets, and franchise chains.
• Mixed-Use Retail Spaces: Integrated retail developments within residential complexes, IT parks, and business hubs, ensuring a captive customer base.

Each category offers unique advantages and requires a strategic approach based on location, brand positioning, and consumer preferences.
