At The Crown Highstreet in Thergaon, every shop size from 355 to 1,147 sq ft is offered on both the ground and first floors, at two different rates. This comparison sets out what the extra 13.6% for the ground floor buys, and which level suits which business.
Prices are agreement values from the current cost sheets; our comparisons are noted as such.
In short: ground-floor shops cost ₹37,500 per sq ft and first-floor shops ₹33,000, so a 781 sq ft shop costs ₹2.93 crore downstairs and ₹2.58 crore upstairs. Pay for the ground floor if your business lives on walk-in custom; take the first floor for destination businesses and a lower ticket.
Same size, two prices
| Shop | Ground floor | First floor | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 355 sq ft | ₹1.33 crore | ₹1.17 crore | ₹16.1 lakh |
| 659 sq ft | ₹2.47 crore | ₹2.18 crore | ₹29.5 lakh |
| 781 sq ft | ₹2.93 crore | ₹2.58 crore | ₹35.1 lakh |
| 880 sq ft | ₹3.30 crore | ₹2.90 crore | ₹39.6 lakh |
| 1,147 sq ft | ₹4.30 crore | ₹3.79 crore | ₹51.6 lakh |
The gap is a flat ₹4,500 per sq ft, 13.6% over the first-floor rate.
The case for the ground floor
Ground-floor shops open onto the high-street plaza and the road, under the colonnade shown in the renders, and catch the residents of Ace Ayodhya's four towers as well as passers-by on the BRTS road. That suits pharmacies, groceries, cafés, salons, clothing and electronics shops that depend on walk-ins.
The case for the first floor
First-floor shops cost about 12% less in total and suit businesses customers come to on purpose: clinics, tuition and coaching centres, studios, offices and service counters. Visibility and access matter more here, so check the lift lobbies, the stairs and where your signage can go. The plans show several lift lobbies serving the first floor.
For investors
We have no rental data for this project. In our experience, ground-floor shops in a residential catchment usually let faster and at higher rents, while first-floor shops take longer to let but cost less to buy. Ask local brokers for current rents near Dange Chowk and work out the yield on the full cost, including GST and stamp duty.
Before you decide
- Confirm the carpet area, frontage and facing of the exact shop.
- Ask about parking for customers and loading access.
- Check the registration with our MahaRERA checklist.
