Commercial Property Investment Guide — Mohali City Centre & Aerocity

Mohali City Centre by STJ Group is, today, the most credible single-platform commercial real estate offering in Punjab. This guide explains why the Aerocity corridor outperforms alternative markets, how rental yields and capital appreciation behave on the 200 ft Airport Road, what to evaluate when selecting between Shop-cum-Office, retail and showroom formats, and how GMADA approval and RERA registration under PBRERA-SAS81-PC0068 materially de-risk your investment.

Why Aerocity Mohali

Four structural forces drive Aerocity's commercial market: GMADA master planning, direct adjacency to the Chandigarh International Airport, proximity to IT City Mohali and leading education institutions, and a residential catchment of more than 1 lakh households across Sectors 66–91. Together they create a commercial demand profile that is captive, diversified and growing — the rare combination that supports both high rental yields and consistent capital appreciation.

Rental Yield Benchmarks

Commercial assets on the 200 ft Airport Road have historically delivered gross rental yields between 5.5% and 7% per annum. SCOs in delivered, occupied projects like MCC 1 anchor the lower end of that range with stability, while high-street formats like MCC Walk and mixed-use destinations like STJ Forum offer upside on the higher end driven by F&B and brand absorption.

Capital Appreciation

Airport Road commercial values have appreciated by an estimated 60% to 90% since 2018, driven by GMADA infrastructure rollout, residential absorption and the consolidation of national brands in the corridor. Pre-launch and under-construction projects like MCC 5 typically capture an additional 30–60% appreciation between launch and completion, while ready assets like MCC 2 and MCC Square deliver immediate cash flow with steady value growth.

Format Selection — SCO vs Retail vs Showroom

Shop-cum-Office (SCO) units suit investors seeking flexibility and end-user buyers who want to operate from their own asset. Retail shops on ground floors with high visibility deliver the strongest yields for F&B and lifestyle tenants. Double-height showrooms attract national brands willing to pay premium rentals for flagship visibility. Mixed-use destinations like STJ Forum offer diversified income across categories. The right choice depends on your ticket size, return objective and holding horizon.

Regulatory Comfort — GMADA & RERA

Every STJ Group project is GMADA approved and RERA registered under PBRERA-SAS81-PC0068. GMADA approval validates land use, layout and infrastructure standards. RERA registration enforces project timelines, escrow discipline and standardised buyer protections. Combined, they remove the two largest risks that have historically affected Indian commercial real estate.

NRI Investment

STJ Group projects are open to NRI investment under standard RBI guidelines. We support remote bookings, video site visits, full documentation in English, repatriation-compliant payment structuring and post-handover property management coordination. NRI investors particularly favour ready and operational assets like MCC 1, MCC 2 and MCC Square for the combination of immediate rental income and zero construction risk.
