Kalwa, once considered just a commuter town, is fast transforming into a lifestyle-led hub. In a major boost to its retail landscape, Ashar Group has announced that Lenskart and Clove Dental will be opening new outlets at its landmark project, Ashar Arize.
National Brands Enter Kalwa
The two leading names — Lenskart, India’s largest optical retail chain, and Clove Dental, the country’s biggest dental care network — will set up shop in Ashar Arize’s 600 sq. ft. retail zone. Their entry not only adds credibility to the Kalwa retail ecosystem but also signals rising confidence in this micro-market’s potential.
Ashar Arize’s 20,000 sq. ft. high-street retail plaza offers units ranging from 300 to 800 sq. ft., pedestrian-friendly design, excellent visibility, and connectivity to key market hubs. Located near Kalwa station, it ensures steady footfall from both commuters and local residents, making it an attractive spot for top-tier brands.
With the retail section having already received its Occupation Certificate, possession for shops has begun, allowing incoming brands to swiftly commence operations.
Developer’s Vision for Kalwa
Ayushi Ashar, Director of Ashar Group, said:
“With Lenskart and Clove Dental taking space at Ashar Arize, we are witnessing Kalwa’s retail renaissance unfold in real time. Our vision is to create not just homes, but lifestyle ecosystems that attract both residents and brands. Kalwa is no longer a hidden gem — it’s a rising star in Thane’s urban landscape.”
Ashar Group is also in advanced talks with food chains, premium grocery stores, and lifestyle brands to further strengthen Ashar Arize’s retail positioning.
Kalwa: From Transit Point to Lifestyle Hub
Kalwa’s transformation is being powered by a series of infrastructure upgrades:
- Kalwa–Airoli Elevated Corridor improving road connectivity
- Upcoming Metro Line 5 linking Thane, Bhiwandi, and Kalyan
- Thane Smart City Mission initiatives driving redevelopment and better liveability
These projects are expected to turn Kalwa into a self-sustaining residential and retail hub, making it more attractive for both homebuyers and businesses.
