Apple’s new lease in Borivali follows its recent deal for 7,997.8 sq ft of retail space at the upscale Phoenix Mall of Asia in North Bengaluru, where it committed to an annual rent of ₹2.09 crore for a 10-year term. The lease in Bengaluru commenced on November 8, 2024, and rent will be charged from August 8, 2025, onwards.
Apple is focusing on expanding its retail network in China and other Asian markets, including India. The iPhone maker is also revamping its existing retail outlets in the US and Europe, according to a Bloomberg report. Apple plans to open 15 new stores in the Asia-Pacific region, five in Europe and the Middle East, and four in the United States and Canada by 2027. The company also intends to revamp or relocate six stores in Asia, nine in Europe, and 13 in North America, totaling 53 new, relocated, or renovated stores over the next four years.
Bloomberg reported that Apple is planning to upgrade its historic store in the Opera shopping area of Paris. Other upcoming store openings include one at the Battersea Power Station in London, which will be situated near Apple's new local headquarters, and a planned location in Miami. Additionally, a flagship store is set to be established at the Jing'an Temple Plaza in Shanghai.
In December last year, Apple India leased 6,526 sq ft of space in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai at a monthly rental of ₹738 per sq ft, one of the highest-ever commercial lease rentals in the country. The company leased the commercial space in a building named Maker Maxity-5 for five years. According to the documents, Agni Commex LLP (the landlord) leased the space for ₹48.19 lakh per month, and Apple India paid a deposit of ₹4.33 crore. The deal's lock-in period is December 31, 2027, with a second lock-in period of December 31, 2028.
Apple’s expansion in India’s commercial hubs underscores its commitment to strengthening its presence in the country. The company’s strategic leasing of prime retail spaces in high-traffic areas like Borivali and BKC demonstrates its confidence in the Indian market and its potential for growth.
