Emaar Colonnade Shop for Rent, Sector 66 Gurgaon

A shop in Emaar Colonnade, the 18-storey retail and office building on Golf Course Extension Road in Sector 66, Gurugram, rents for about Rs 18,000 to Rs 60,000 a month on the listings read on 30 September 2026. The small units dominate: 155 to 450 sq ft of carpet area, with the ground floor and the main-road frontage at the top of the range.

The row this page replaces printed a band from about thirteen and a half thousand rupees up to Rs 1.1 lakh a month. That band turns out to be one portal's range for rents across the whole of Sector 66, not for this building. No shop in Emaar Colonnade was found asking Rs 1.1 lakh, and the cheapest real ask, Rs 18,000, is for a 155 sq ft unit sold on its water tap for a fast-food counter.

Six shops, six prices

The arithmetic is rent divided by the area printed: Rs 42,000 over 210 sq ft is Rs 200; Rs 35,000 over 450 sq ft is Rs 77.78; Rs 60,000 over 302 sq ft is Rs 198.68. The first five come from portal rent listings, which mostly give carpet area; the sixth is a leasing site's quote at Rs 90 a foot on super area. A seventh data point sits on this site's Emaar Colonnade sale page: a 443 sq ft shop sold with a tenant paying Rs 77,000 a month, about Rs 174 a foot. That is a let unit with a lease behind it, which is why it sits above most of the vacant asks.

Carpet or super: why Rs 78 and Rs 200 can both be right

A spread from Rs 78 to Rs 200 a foot inside one building looks like chaos. Much of it is measurement. Carpet area is the floor inside the shutter; super area adds a share of corridors, lifts, basements and walls, and it is always the bigger number. Put the same monthly cheque over each and the rate changes sharply. Rs 45,000 a month is Rs 90 a foot on 500 sq ft of super area. The same Rs 45,000 on a 300 sq ft carpet is Rs 150.

The listings show the problem in one shop. A Rs 60,000 unit appears as 302 sq ft in one summary and as 660 sq ft at Rs 90.91 a foot in another. If both describe the same shop, its carpet is 46 per cent of its super area, and its rent is Rs 199 or Rs 91 a foot depending on which line you read. So compare shops here by the rent a month and the carpet area you will actually stand in, and ask the landlord which of the two the lease is written on. Maintenance, where it is charged per foot, is almost always charged on super area.

What a shop costs to open and run

GST at 18 per cent is added to commercial rent. Only one listing printed maintenance, Rs 8,000 a month on top of the rent; the others showed none extra, which may mean it is inside the rent or simply not stated. The table carries both readings.

Electricity comes on top, on the meter. A GST-registered business can usually set the tax on rent off against its own GST, which brings the 210 sq ft shop back to Rs 42,000 plus maintenance. The cash needed on day one is the bigger hurdle for a small operator: on the 300 sq ft shop it is the Rs 2,40,000 deposit plus the first month's Rs 47,200, about Rs 2.87 lakh before a single shelf goes in.

What the shop has to sell

A common rule of thumb in retail keeps rent to about a tenth of sales. Take it as an assumption rather than a law and the numbers become a test of the idea, not of the landlord:

• The 155 sq ft food counter at Rs 18,000 needs about Rs 1.8 lakh of sales a month, or Rs 6,000 a day over 30 days. For a counter serving office floors above and cars on the road, that is a modest target.
• The 210 sq ft ground-floor shop at Rs 42,000 needs about Rs 4.2 lakh a month, Rs 14,000 a day. A pharmacy, a phone shop or a bakery can do that on a busy frontage; a boutique that sells three items a day cannot.
• The main-road 302 sq ft shop at Rs 60,000 needs about Rs 6 lakh a month, Rs 20,000 a day. That is a rent for a brand with repeat trade, not a first shop.

The building behind the shutter

Listings still call it Emaar MGF Colonnade, after the developer's former name, Emaar MGF Land. Emaar Colonnade stands on 2.45 acres and rises to 18 storeys. The ground, first, second and third floors are high-street retail, and the floors from the fourth to the eighteenth are offices, which matches the developer's own count of fifteen office floors above roughly 200 shops. Project listings put the retail at about 1,80,000 sq ft and the offices at about 1,60,000 sq ft, with four basements, two serving the retail floors and two the offices. One level is described as specialty restaurants with terrace seating. Offices are offered bare shell, warm shell, furnished and serviced.

The project's own sites say the occupation certificate has been received. The dates attached to the building disagree: older listings talk of possession in the last quarter of 2018, a newer one of December 2023. On registration, a Haryana RERA register entry and one listing site give 156 of 2017, dated 28 August 2017, promoter Emaar India; older pages treated the finished complex as pre-RERA, and this site's sale page now prints both readings. The same listing gives three towers, 72 units and 3 acres, which does not describe a single 2.45-acre building, so check the register entry's project details against the shop you are leasing. For a tenant the documents that count are the landlord's conveyance deed for the shop and the occupation certificate covering it.

Getting there, and who walks past

There is no metro at the door. The nearest station is Sector 55-56 on the Rapid Metro: one broker page puts it about 3.5 km from the building, and a transit site puts it about 7 km from Sector 66 generally. Either way, customers arrive by car or on foot from nearby towers. The leasing pitch for the building speaks of a 90-metre road in front and over 20,000 families around it. That is a broad, car-borne catchment along the road rather than the captive few hundred households of a shop inside a gated society, and it is why the ground-floor and main-road shops here ask about Rs 200 a foot against Rs 78 to Rs 133 for the other listings.

Against the other Sector 66 and 67A addresses

AIPL Joy Street, a few minutes away, asks more per foot because it has a cinema and named brands pulling people in; Emaar Colonnade's vacant small shops mostly let below it. A ground-floor shop in AIPL's Joy Gallery on the same road is quoted at Rs 150. IREO Corridors in Sector 67A asks Rs 125 for shops that serve one gated complex. Tenants weighing a purchase instead can read the shop prices on the Elan Empire sale page, and the wider stock is on the retail shops listing and the Golf Course Extension Road page.

What could not be established

No tenant list for the retail floors surfaced, so which brands trade here, and how many shutters are down, is something to see on a weekday evening rather than read. No listing printed a lock-in, an escalation clause or a maintenance rate per sq ft. The one maintenance figure found is a flat Rs 8,000 a month on one shop. Expect the landlord to open with a lock-in and a yearly step-up, and get both written into a registered lease.

Before you sign

1. Floor and frontage: which floor, whether the shutter faces the main road or an inner corridor, and what trades either side.
2. Area basis: carpet and super area both written in the lease, and which one the rent and maintenance are charged on.
3. Maintenance: inside the rent or on top, the amount, and whether power backup is included.
4. Deposit: three months is on offer in this building; six is asked on some shops, so negotiate.
5. Lock-in and step-ups: none is published, so agree them rather than accept a draft.
6. The landlord's title: the conveyance deed for the unit and the occupation certificate for the building.
7. Food use: for a kitchen, written consent for exhaust, gas and a grease trap before you pay the deposit.

Frequently asked questions

What does a shop in Emaar Colonnade rent for?

Between about Rs 18,000 and Rs 60,000 a month on the shop listings read on 30 September 2026. A 155 sq ft unit suited to fast food asks Rs 18,000, a 210 sq ft ground-floor shop Rs 42,000, a 300 sq ft shop Rs 40,000, a 450 sq ft shop Rs 35,000 and a 302 sq ft shop facing the main road Rs 60,000. On a leasing site a 500 sq ft ground-floor shop measured on super area is quoted at Rs 90 a foot, or Rs 45,000. No shop was found asking anything near Rs 1.1 lakh.

Why do the rents per sq ft differ so much in Emaar Colonnade?

Mostly because the listings measure different things. Shops listed by carpet area work out at Rs 78 to Rs 200 a foot, while a shop quoted on super area asks Rs 90. The same Rs 45,000 a month is Rs 90 on 500 sq ft of super area and Rs 150 on a 300 sq ft carpet. One Rs 60,000 shop appears as 302 sq ft in one place and 660 sq ft in another, which is Rs 199 or Rs 91 a foot. Compare shops by the monthly cheque and the carpet area, never by a rate alone.

What deposit and maintenance do Emaar Colonnade landlords ask?

Three to six months' rent as deposit on the listings found: Rs 1,26,000 on the Rs 42,000 shop, Rs 2,40,000 on the Rs 40,000 shop and Rs 1,08,000 on the Rs 18,000 kiosk-sized unit. One listing adds Rs 8,000 a month of maintenance and others show none extra, so ask whether the quoted rent includes it. No lock-in or escalation was printed on any listing.

How much does a small shop in Emaar Colonnade cost a month in all?

A 210 sq ft ground-floor shop at Rs 42,000 comes to Rs 49,560 with 18 per cent GST on the rent, and Rs 57,560 if the Rs 8,000 maintenance seen on one listing applies. A 300 sq ft shop at Rs 40,000 comes to Rs 47,200, or Rs 55,200 with that maintenance. Moving in on the 300 sq ft shop needs about Rs 2.87 lakh: the Rs 2,40,000 deposit plus the first month.

How big is Emaar Colonnade, and which floors are shops?

An 18-storey building on 2.45 acres with high-street retail on the ground, first, second and third floors and offices from the fourth floor to the eighteenth, which squares with the developer's count of fifteen office floors. Project listings give about 1,80,000 sq ft of retail and 1,60,000 sq ft of offices, with four basements, two of them for the retail floors. One level is described as specialty restaurants with terrace seating.

Is Emaar Colonnade near a metro station?

No. The nearest station is Sector 55-56 on the Rapid Metro, put at about 3.5 km from the building on one broker page, while a transit site puts that station about 7 km from Sector 66 in general. Customers here come by car, from the flats along Golf Course Extension Road, so frontage on the 90-metre road and parking count for more than a train.

Does Emaar Colonnade have a RERA number and an occupation certificate?

The project's own sites say the occupation certificate has been received. On registration, a Haryana RERA register entry and one listing site give 156 of 2017, dated 28 August 2017, for Colonnade promoted by Emaar India; older pages, including an earlier version of this site's sale page, treated the finished complex as pre-RERA. The register entry is the document that settles it. For a lease, what matters more is the landlord's conveyance deed for the shop and that the unit sits inside the occupation certificate.

What is the Emaar Colonnade address and pincode?

The address is Emaar Colonnade, Golf Course Extension Road, Sector 66, Gurugram, Haryana. The pincode was not printed in any source read for this page, so take it from the landlord's conveyance deed or the building's management office before it goes into a lease or a GST registration.
