Lenskart and Clove Dental to Open Outlets at Ashar Arize in Kalwa

In a major development that redefines the commercial & retail fabric of Kalwa, Ashar Group one of Mumbai Metropolitan Region’s most trusted and forward-thinking real estate developers has announced that Lenskart, one of India’s leading optical retail chains, and Clove Dental, the country’s largest dental care brand, are gearing up to open high-street outlets at its residential project, Ashar Arize.

Both the brands will operate from Ashar Arize’s 600 sq. ft. retail space bringing in some credible national brand recognition to this part of Thane. Together, they set the stage for Kalwa’s transformation into a modern retail and lifestyle destination. Often viewed as a commuter town, Kalwa is rapidly evolving into a self-sustaining micromarket. The presence of trusted healthcare and lifestyle brands like Clove Dental and Lenskart signals growing confidence in Kalwa’s potential as a lifestyle-led hub.

The high-street retail plaza at Ashar Arize spans over 20,000 sq. ft. of carpet area, with units ranging from 300 to 800 sq. ft., offering excellent frontage, proximity to market hubs, and pedestrian-friendly design ideal for brands seeking high-impact exposure. The project’s positioning near the station ensures constant footfall, amplified further by the residential population within and around the development.

The retail section at Ashar Arize has received its Occupation Certificate, with possession for shops commencing immediately, paving the way for swift operational rollouts by incoming brands.

Speaking on this milestone, Ms. Ayushi Ashar, Director, Ashar Group, said: “With Lenskart and Clove Dental taking space at Ashar Arize, we are witnessing Kalwa’s retail renaissance unfold in real time. It reaffirms our vision for Ashar Arize — not just to build homes but to create a lifestyle ecosystem that attracts residents and brands. Kalwa is no longer a hidden gem but a rising star in Thane’s urban landscape."

Kalwa’s rise is also accelerated by robust infrastructure projects like the Kalwa-Airoli elevated corridor, the upcoming Metro Line 5 connecting Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan, and redevelopment initiatives under the Thane Smart City Mission. These projects enhance connectivity and liveability, making Kalwa an ideal choice for homebuyers and retailers.

Ashar Group is in the process of signing multiple Grade-A brands including food chains, premium grocery stores, and lifestyle brands in an endeavour to uplift the micromarket and position Ashar Arize as Kalwa’s most premier retail destination.
