The rankings are based on rentals during the second quarter of 2019 calendar year. "Rental trends over the past year have largely been pointing upwards, with the lack of availability in the best shopping malls pushing more brands to seek out prominent, high footfall locations in the main commercial corridors," the report said about the Indian market.
The report added that bigger cities like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru have experienced only marginal increases but other cities such as Chennai, Pune and Kolkata, which have a more vibrant high street culture, have recorded much stronger rental uplift. It said that maximum growth was seen in sectors like food and beverage (F&B), clothing and accessories, along with hypermarkets and e-commerce retailers opening physical stores.
The Cushman & Wakefield report tracked 448 locations across 68 countries.
