Bandra West is not just Mumbai's most desirable residential address — it is also one of the city's most sought-after locations for premium commercial office space. Property Butler currently tracks active commercial inventory in The Presidential, a 14-storey commercial project by Webtech Realty LLP on SV Road, with office configurations from 800 sqft to 4,000 sqft priced at ₹5.60 crore to ₹28 crore. For entrepreneurs, professionals, and institutional buyers evaluating Bandra West commercial property in 2026, this guide covers pricing, yield expectations, tenant profiles, and how Bandra West stacks up against BKC — the obvious alternative 4 km east.
Bandra West Commercial Market — May 2026
The Presidential by Webtech Realty: 800–4,000 sqft office configurations at ₹5.60–28 crore. Possession July 2026. PSF ranges from ₹70,000–75,000. Bandra West commercial PSF tracks at 35–40% below BKC Grade A, with comparable tenant quality in media, creative, legal, and entertainment sectors. Rental yield on commercial in Bandra West averages 4.5–5.5% per annum on asking price.
The Presidential — Active Commercial Inventory in Bandra West
The Presidential, developed by Webtech Realty LLP on SV Road, Bandra West, is the most significant active commercial launch in this locality in 2026. Possession is targeted for July 2026 — making it one of the few near-delivery commercial projects in Bandra West. Four configuration sizes are available:
| Configuration | Carpet | Price | PSF (carpet) | Est. Monthly Rent |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small office | 800 sqft | ₹5.60 Cr | ₹70,000 | ₹2.1–2.5 lakh |
| Mid office | 2,000 sqft | ₹14 Cr | ₹70,000 | ₹5–6 lakh |
| Large office | 3,000 sqft | ₹21 Cr | ₹70,000 | ₹7.5–9 lakh |
| Full floor | 4,000 sqft | ₹28 Cr | ₹70,000 | ₹10–12 lakh |
Consistent ₹70,000/sqft pricing across all configurations suggests Webtech is targeting institutional or owner-occupier buyers, not fragmenting into smaller investment lots. The July 2026 possession date makes this a near-term play — a buyer committing today could be in possession within 3–4 months.
Bandra West vs BKC — The Real Comparison for Commercial Buyers
The obvious alternative for any Bandra West commercial buyer is BKC. Property Butler's market data tracks active commercial PSF in BKC Grade A at ₹110,000–130,000/sqft for purchase. The Presidential's ₹70,000/sqft asks a 35–40% discount to BKC — but the two markets serve different tenant profiles and use cases entirely.
| Parameter | Bandra West (The Presidential) | BKC Grade A |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase PSF | ₹70,000 | ₹1,10,000–1,30,000 |
| Rental PSF/month | ₹260–310/sqft | ₹380–500/sqft |
| Rental Yield | 4.4–5.3% | 4.2–4.6% |
| Typical Tenants | Media, entertainment, legal, boutique finance, creative agencies | BFSI, consulting, pharma, MNCs, large IT |
| Minimum Buy-in | ₹5.60 Cr (800 sqft) | ₹8–15 Cr |
| Street Appeal | High — SV Road, Bandra West address | Highest — BKC address |
Who Buys Commercial Property in Bandra West?
Bandra West commercial real estate attracts three distinct buyer profiles, each with different use cases and yield expectations:
Owner-Occupiers — professionals and entrepreneurs: Lawyers, chartered accountants, boutique fund managers, production houses, and entertainment companies who want their office address to match their residential postcode. A senior partner in a Bandra-based law firm buying a 1,200 sqft office at ₹8.4 crore avoids ₹2.8–3.2 lakh/month in rent — that's ₹33–38 lakh per year in rent saved, implying a 3.9–4.5% effective yield on capital deployed. Ownership also locks in occupancy costs while building equity.
Investors seeking rental income: Buyers looking for 4.5–5.5% gross yield, tax benefits under Section 24(b) for interest, and depreciation allowances. Commercial property in Bandra West benefits from the same scarcity premium as residential — it's a mature, land-constrained market where new supply is limited. Property Butler's market data shows commercial vacancy in Bandra West below 8%, compared to 15–18% in some BKC buildings.
Family offices and UHNI buyers: For a ₹28 crore full-floor purchase, the buyer is typically a family office diversifying out of residential into commercial yield. The ₹10–12 lakh/month estimated rent on a 4,000 sqft unit represents a 4.3–5.1% gross yield — comparable to residential at a fraction of the stamp duty and maintenance complexity. Commercial leases run 5–9 years versus residential leases of 11 months.
Commercial Property Tax and GST — What Buyers Must Know
Commercial property purchase in Mumbai carries a different tax treatment from residential:
- GST: 12% on commercial under-construction (vs 5% for residential). On a ₹14 crore mid-office, GST is ₹1.68 crore. On OC-received commercial, GST is waived. The Presidential's July 2026 possession date means buyers signing before OC will pay GST; wait for OC to save ₹1.7–3.4 crore on larger units.
- Stamp Duty: 5% on commercial (same as residential female buyer rate). On ₹14 crore, stamp duty is ₹70 lakh.
- Rental Income Tax: Commercial rent is taxed as business income if let out, typically at 30% (highest bracket) for UHNI buyers, making pre-tax yield of 5% an effective 3.5% post-tax. Ownership through an LLP or company structure can optimise this.
- Input Tax Credit: GST-registered businesses buying commercial can claim ITC on the 12% GST, effectively recovering it against future GST output — a significant advantage over residential buyers who cannot claim ITC.
Key Insight for GST-Registered Buyers
A GST-registered business buying The Presidential under-construction can claim Input Tax Credit on the 12% GST paid (up to ₹3.36 crore on the ₹28 Cr full-floor). This effectively reduces the net acquisition cost to the pre-GST price — making the under-construction purchase more attractive than it appears on the sticker price for eligible buyers.
The Rent-vs-Buy Calculation for Bandra West Commercial
The most common question Property Butler hears from professionals evaluating Bandra West commercial: should I buy or continue leasing? The arithmetic at current prices:
Scenario: 1,500 sqft office, SV Road area, Bandra West
- Current market rent: ₹3.75–4.5 lakh/month (₹250–300/sqft)
- Annual rent outflow: ₹45–54 lakh
- Purchase price (est.): ₹10.5 crore at ₹70,000/sqft
- Loan EMI (80% LTV, 9% p.a., 15 yr): ₹8.4 crore loan → ₹8.5 lakh/month EMI
- Equity appreciation at 7% p.a. on ₹10.5 crore: ₹73.5 lakh/year
On a 10-year horizon: renting costs ₹4.5–5.4 crore in rent (assuming 5% annual rent escalation). Buying costs ₹8.5 lakh/month in EMI (₹10.2 crore over 10 years) but builds ₹10.5+ crore in equity (at 7% appreciation, the asset is worth ₹20.6 crore in 10 years). The buy case wins materially on a 10-year hold — the crossover point is typically 6–7 years for Bandra West commercial.
What to Verify Before Buying Commercial in Bandra West
Commercial property due diligence in Mumbai is more complex than residential. Property Butler recommends verifying:
- RERA registration: Commercial projects are RERA-registered in Maharashtra. Verify The Presidential's MahaRERA number and check for any complaints or delays filed against the developer.
- Change of Use approvals: Some Bandra West commercial buildings have partial residential floors — confirm the floor and unit you're buying has commercial approval from BMC.
- Car parking ratio: Commercial buildings in Bandra require BMC-approved car parking. Verify allocated spaces per unit — Bandra West parking is at a premium, and inadequate parking reduces rental tenant pool.
- Possession OC vs BCC: July 2026 target possession for The Presidential — confirm whether this is BCC (Building Completion Certificate) or OC (Occupancy Certificate). Only OC allows legal occupation and rental.
- Maintenance charges: Commercial maintenance in Bandra West ranges ₹15–25/sqft/month, adding ₹12,000–20,000/month on a 800 sqft unit — factor this into gross-to-net yield calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rental yield can I expect on a commercial office in Bandra West?
Property Butler's market data shows gross rental yields of 4.4–5.5% per annum for well-located commercial units in Bandra West. On The Presidential's 800 sqft unit at ₹5.60 crore, expect ₹2.1–2.5 lakh/month in rent — a gross yield of 4.5–5.4%. Net yield after maintenance, property tax, and vacancy provisions is typically 3.5–4.5%. Commercial leases lock in 5–9 years, providing income stability unavailable in residential.
Is the GST on commercial property recoverable?
Yes, if you are a GST-registered business. The 12% GST paid on commercial under-construction can be claimed as Input Tax Credit against your GST output tax liability, effectively reducing the acquisition cost to the pre-GST sticker price. This is a significant advantage over residential buyers. Consult your chartered accountant for the ITC eligibility conditions specific to your business structure.
Can NRIs buy commercial property in Bandra West?
Yes, NRI/PIO/OCI buyers can purchase commercial immovable property in India without RBI approval under FEMA. Payment must be through NRE/NRO accounts. Rental income from commercial property can be repatriated subject to TDS deduction (typically 30% for NRIs). Commercial property offers better yield than residential for NRI investors who want passive income in India.
How does Bandra West commercial compare to Bandra East (BKC adjacency)?
Bandra East (BKC adjacency) offers a different commercial profile. One BKC by Radius Developers has office spaces available for rent at ₹5.36–10.12 lakh/month for 1,500–2,541 sqft — PSF roughly ₹350–400/month rent. Purchase PSF in BKC adjacency typically runs ₹90,000–1,10,000/sqft. Bandra West commercial at ₹70,000/sqft is cheaper to acquire but targets a different tenant profile.
