Why your property

Every dark store needs a building in exactly the right spot

A dark store is a small warehouse that delivers groceries and essentials to homes within minutes. Because each store only serves a short radius, operators can't just pick any building — they need one inside the pocket their orders come from.

That's hard for them — and good for you.

Operators share with us the Bangalore localities where they need stores. If your property sits in one of them, we put it in front of the right people directly.

For owners

Why owners in Bangalore lease to dark store operators

No main-road frontage needed

Customers never visit a dark store. A side-street godown near apartments can be worth more to an operator than a high-street shop.

Reputed, funded tenants

National brands with structured lease agreements, deposits and agreed escalation — not a small business that may shut in a year.

Long leases

Moving a dark store means rebuilding its delivery zone, so operators prefer to stay — typically multi-year leases with a lock-in.

Rent set by demand

When your building sits exactly where an operator needs a store, you negotiate from strength — we make sure you know it.

A shop tenant needs a high street. A dark store needs your street.

The things that make a property hard to rent to shops don't matter to a dark store.

What goes inside your building

The operator fits it out as a compact grocery warehouse. That's why they ask about the things they do.

Questions owners ask us

What is a dark store?

A dark store is a small warehouse closed to walk-in customers. Quick-commerce brands like Zepto, Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart and Flipkart Minutes stock groceries and essentials there and send delivery riders from it, so orders reach nearby homes in 10–30 minutes.

How much rent can I get from a dark store in Bangalore?

It depends on the locality, the size, the floor and how badly operators need a store in that pocket. Areas with dense apartments and few suitable buildings — parts of Whitefield, Sarjapur Road, HSR Layout, Bellandur and Electronic City, for example — get the strongest interest. Share your property and we will tell you what operators are paying near you.

What size and type of property do dark store operators need?

Most need roughly 2,500 to 15,000 sq ft of usable space on the ground floor, with a wide rolling shutter, a road two-wheelers can use at any hour, parking for delivery bikes, enough power with room for a DG set, and a toilet and water. Warehouses, godowns, ground-floor shops and showrooms can all work.

My property is on a side street, not a main road. Will it work?

Often, yes. Customers never visit a dark store, so main-road frontage does not matter. What matters is being close to dense residential areas, with an approach road that riders can use easily and quickly at all hours.

How does PayPerSqft find a dark store operator for my property?

Quick-commerce brands share their location requirements with us. We check your property against the Bangalore localities where they need stores right now, share it with the operators looking there, arrange site visits, and help you negotiate rent, deposit, lock-in, escalation and the agreement.

How long does it take to find a dark store tenant?

If your property is in a locality an operator is actively looking at, site visits can happen within days. In other areas it depends on when operators expand there. We tell you honestly where your property stands after our first call.

Is there any fee for property owners?

Listing your property and the first consultation are free. Our commercial terms are shared upfront, in writing, before any deal is closed.

I have land or an old godown. Can it become a dark store?

Yes. Our construction team builds and upgrades buildings to dark store specifications — shutters, flooring, rider parking, toilets, power — and we can line up an operator before handover so your rent starts sooner.

Which areas of Bangalore do you cover?

All of Bangalore — including Whitefield, Marathahalli, KR Puram, Sarjapur Road, Bellandur, HSR Layout, Koramangala, Electronic City, Hebbal, Yelahanka, Hennur, JP Nagar, Banashankari, Rajajinagar and Peenya. Operator requirements change week to week, so share your property even if your area is not listed.
