A high street with a premium image
Race Course Circle and the roads around it are where many of Vadodara’s fashion, lifestyle and food brands want to be seen. Customers come specifically to shop and eat, and the area’s proximity to Alkapuri adds steady business traffic during the day.
What’s available
- Ground-floor showrooms with wide frontage on the main roads
- Shops in commercial complexes around the circle
- Upper-floor units suited to salons, clinics and studios
Assessing a unit
Premium locations need careful evaluation. Check neighbouring brands, footfall at your busiest hours, parking and signage rights. For restaurants, confirm the building permits food businesses and check exhaust and fire-safety provisions. For leases, negotiate the lock-in, escalation and a rent-free fit-out period.
Who comes to Race Course
The Race Course area draws shoppers and diners from across Vadodara, especially in the evenings and at weekends, along with office workers from nearby Alkapuri during the day. Its premium image attracts customers who are willing to spend on fashion, lifestyle products, jewellery, dining and experiences.
Leasing and investment considerations
Prime frontage is limited, so good units are leased quickly and rents are firm. Negotiate on lease structure: a fit-out period, a lock-in suited to your plans, a reasonable escalation and clear maintenance and signage terms. For investors, prioritise units with strong visibility, quality neighbouring brands and parking — these attract long-term tenants and hold their value well.
