Keshav Leela Polaris — Commercial Shops Review (Keshav Nagar, Mundhwa, Pune)\r\nIntroduction\r\n\r\nKeshav Leela Polaris is positioned in the fast-growing residential corridor of Keshav Nagar / Mundhwa in East Pune. While the residential towers deliver family living and rental demand, the commercial shops built into and around the Polaris complex form the critical first-line retail ecosystem for the neighbourhood. For entrepreneurs, shop investors and local retailers, Polaris’s commercial component presents a compelling blend of captive residential footfall, visibility from arterial roads, and proximity to employment hubs that together create a stable demand base. This review examines the commercial opportunity in depth — shop typologies, catchment and footfall drivers, recommended tenant mixes, strengths, practical risks, and how Polaris retail stacks up against other nearby retail options.\r\n\r\nProject positioning and commercial concept\r\n\r\nPolaris is a mid-sized, mixed-use development with residential towers and dedicated shop units at podium and ground levels, plus a cluster of external-facing retail units intended to serve both residents and passing trade. The commercial design focuses on convenience retail (grocery and daily essentials), services (pharmacy, clinics, salons), F&B (quick service cafes, bakeries), and small format retail (electronics, mobile, neighbourhood apparel). Shop frontages are designed for walk-in customers coming from the internal residential blocks and for visibility to traffic on surrounding roads.\r\n\r\nTypical shop formats in Polaris include:\r\n\r\nSmall shop units (20–40 sq. m / ~215–430 sq. ft) — ideal for boutique groceries, bakery/café counters, salons, or speciality stores.\r\n\r\nMedium street-facing units (40–80 sq. m / ~430–860 sq. ft) — suitable for anchor convenience stores, multi-brand outlets, clinics, or mid-size restaurants.\r\n\r\nLarger commercial spaces (80–150+ sq. m / 860–1,615+ sq. ft) — fewer in number, intended for anchor tenants such as supermarket..
