Ashar Group Drives Kalwa’s Retail Renaissance with New Brands

 


Mumbai: In a development that marks a turning point for Kalwa’s commercial and retail landscape, Ashar Group, one of Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s most trusted real estate developers, announced that Lenskart, India’s leading optical retail chain, and Clove Dental, the country’s largest dental care brand, are set to open high-street outlets at its flagship residential project, Ashar Arize.


Both brands will operate from 600 sq. ft. retail spaces, bringing trusted national names to this evolving micromarket in Thane. Their entry underscores the growing confidence in Kalwa’s transformation from a commuter town to a modern, lifestyle-led hub.


The high-street retail plaza at Ashar Arize spans 20,000 sq. ft. of carpet area, offering units between 300–800 sq. ft. with excellent frontage, market proximity, and pedestrian-friendly layouts. Located near Kalwa station, the development ensures high daily footfall, supported by the residential community within and around the project.


With the retail section now receiving its Occupation Certificate (OC), possession has commenced, paving the way for swift operational rollouts by incoming brands.


Commenting on the milestone, Ms. Ayushi Ashar, Director, Ashar Group, said: “With Lenskart and Clove Dental taking space at Ashar Arize, we are witnessing Kalwa’s retail renaissance unfold in real time. It reaffirms our vision for Ashar Arize — not just to build homes but to create a lifestyle ecosystem that attracts residents and brands. Kalwa is no longer a hidden gem but a rising star in Thane’s urban landscape.”


Kalwa’s rapid rise as a real estate and retail hotspot is being driven by large-scale infrastructure projects, including:

  • Kalwa–Airoli Elevated Corridor
  • Metro Line 5 (Thane–Bhiwandi–Kalyan)
  • Redevelopment under the Thane Smart City Mission


These initiatives are improving connectivity, enhancing liveability, and making Kalwa an attractive choice for both homebuyers and national retail chains.


Ashar Group confirmed that discussions are underway with Grade-A brands across food chains, premium grocery stores, and lifestyle segments, further cementing Ashar Arize’s position as Kalwa’s premier retail destination.
