Sonu Sood Leases BKC Commercial Unit to HDFC Bank at ₹11.75 Lakh Monthly Rent

• Monthly rent starts at ₹11.75 lakh with 15% escalation every three years

• Nine-year lease registered in February 2026

• Estimated rental yield of nearly 5.8% annually

Mumbai: Bollywood actor Sonu Sood has leased out his commercial property in Mumbai’s prime business district to HDFC Bank Limited, securing a substantial long-term rental income. The agreement, registered in February 2026, involves a commercial unit located at Trade Centre in Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Bandra East.

According to property registration documents reviewed by Square Yards, the lease has been signed for a tenure of nine years. The monthly rent for the first three years has been fixed at ₹11.75 lakh. As per the terms of the agreement, the rent will see a 15% escalation after every three-year period. The tenant has also provided a security deposit of ₹70.50 lakh.

The commercial unit spans approximately 2,700 square feet (250.83 sq m) of carpet area and includes three dedicated car parking spaces — an important advantage in a high-density commercial zone like BKC. With the current rental terms, the property will generate an annual rental income of around ₹1.41 crore.

Strong Rental Returns

Sonu Sood had purchased the property in October 2012 for ₹24.25 crore. Based on the agreed rental income, the asset is now delivering an estimated rental yield of approximately 5.8% per annum. In Mumbai’s prime commercial real estate market, especially in a micro-market like BKC, yields between 5% and 6% are considered stable and attractive for long-term investors.

The nine-year lease term also ensures predictable income flow, which is one of the key advantages of investing in Grade A commercial spaces leased to established financial institutions. Long-term corporate tenants often reduce vacancy risks and enhance property value over time.

Why BKC Remains a Preferred Commercial Hub

The Bandra-Kurla Complex continues to be one of Mumbai’s most sought-after business districts. Home to major banks, financial institutions, consulates, and multinational corporations, BKC has evolved into the city’s financial and corporate backbone.

Its connectivity to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the suburban railway network, and upcoming metro corridors further strengthens its appeal. The presence of premium office buildings, luxury hotels, and high-end residential projects has made BKC a balanced commercial ecosystem.

For institutional tenants like HDFC Bank, securing space in BKC ensures proximity to clients, corporate headquarters, and financial services firms. For property owners, leasing to reputed tenants adds credibility and long-term asset stability.

Growing Trend of Celebrity Real Estate Investments

Over the years, several celebrities have diversified their portfolios by investing in commercial real estate, especially in high-demand zones like Mumbai. Commercial properties typically offer better rental yields compared to residential assets, particularly when leased to established corporate tenants.

In this case, Sonu Sood’s property investment made over a decade ago is now generating consistent rental income while likely benefiting from capital appreciation as well.

With sustained demand for premium office space in Mumbai’s financial districts, deals such as this highlight the resilience of India’s commercial real estate sector. As BKC continues to attract top-tier tenants, investors remain confident about long-term value and stable returns in this micro-market.
