Why do Bollywood stars rent properties?
Bollywood actors have been in the news for buying and renting out commercial and residential properties in the Mumbai real estate market, which is one of the costliest real estate markets of the country.
In November, Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor and wife Mira Kapoor rented out their luxury apartment in the Worli area of Mumbai at a rent of ₹20 lakh per month for five years. The apartment is located in Oberoi Realty's project named Three Sixty West and measures 5,395 sq ft. It has been rented out with three car parkings.
According to real estate consultants and brokers, the average gross rental yield for residential properties is between 3% to 4% and for commercial properties it is between 6% to 8%.
Commercial assets like offices, retail, and warehouses usually have gross yields (annual investment returns) in the range of 6% to 10% in metro cities of India. Grade-A office spaces in Mumbai offer an average yield in the range of 6% to 8%. Likewise, retail assets can offer yields of up to 9.5% prime locations in Mumbai, according to CBRE India, a real estate consultancy firm.
