Lexpress Property snapshots are from Aug 2020 (Port Louis, Riche Terre) and Sep 2021 (Ebène). Mauritius inflation 2021–2025 averaged ~5%. Adjusting for inflation: Port Louis median Rs 541/sqm → ~Rs 690/sqm in 2026 money. Ebène median Rs 800/sqm → ~Rs 1,018/sqm. However, commercial rents are sticky (often unchanged for years) and the property market in Mauritius has not uniformly tracked inflation.
Impact: HIGH — 5-year-old data may not reflect 2026 marketNo archived Lexpress Property commercial listings for Rose Hill were found (not crawled by Wayback Machine). The live site (lexpressproperty.com/en/rent-mauritius/commercial/rose_hill/) is blocked by Cloudflare. We use Port Louis (11km), Ebène (4.2km), and Riche Terre (15km) as proxies. Rose Hill is a mid-tier commercial hub — likely priced between Port Louis (lower-tier outside prime areas) and Ebène (Cyber City premium).
Impact: HIGH — Rose Hill-specific rates unknownNumbeo reports monthly rent but not floor area. We assume 1BR = 45 sqm, 3BR = 90 sqm to derive per-sqm residential rates. Actual sizes vary ±15%. This is the largest source of error in the residential derivation. v3: Residential data now secondary — commercial listing data is primary.
Impact: MEDIUM — residential data is now supporting evidence onlyThe 120 sqm upper floor has different floor space utilisation. Priced as ancillary storage. Port Louis upper-floor commercial spaces (518–530 sqm) were listed at Rs 106–113/sqm — supporting the Rs 100–250/sqm range for non-ground-floor ancillary space.
Impact: MEDIUM — affects total by Rs 12,000–30,000/monthRose Hill is a mid-tier commercial node, not a prime location like Port Louis CBD or Ebène Cyber City. Ground-floor arcade retail should be priced below Ebène's small-space premium (Rs 800–1,000/sqm) but above the low-end Port Louis rates (Rs 250–400/sqm for non-prime locations). The mid-range of comparable listings suggests Rs 500–800/sqm is the realistic band for Rose Hill.
Impact: HIGH — positioning determines tierMauritius inflation: 2021 ~4.7%, 2022 ~10.5%, 2023 ~5.1%, 2024 ~3.2%, 2025 ~est 4%. Cumulative ~30% over 2020–2025. However, commercial rents in Mauritius are often fixed for 3–5 year lease terms and do not adjust annually. Some 2020 listings may still reflect current asking rents if tenants haven't turned over. We apply a conservative 15–25% inflation adjustment to 2020 data, and 5–10% to 2021 data.

Open at Rs 90,000/month (GF Rs 750/sqm + UF Rs 125/sqm). This is grounded in real Lexpress Property commercial listing data: Port Louis median Rs 541/sqm (inflation-adjusted ~Rs 620–690/sqm), Ebène median Rs 800/sqm. Rose Hill sits between these — Rs 750/sqm is the midpoint. Floor: Rs 72,000 (Entry). Current rent Rs 62,000 is below even the Entry tier.
v3: The Rs 750/sqm baseline is derived from 30 actual commercial listings on Lexpress Property (Mauritius' #1 property portal). Port Louis ground-floor retail: Rs 473–1,528/sqm. Ebène: Rs 667–1,625/sqm. We are no longer multiplying residential rates — we have real commercial comparables.
Sources: Port Louis listings ↗ · Ebène listings ↗Current rent Rs 62,000 = Rs 620/sqm for 100 sqm. The Entry tier (Rs 72,000 = Rs 600/sqm GF + Rs 100/sqm UF) is only 16% above current. After 5 years of no escalation, a 16% increase is extremely conservative — it barely covers inflation.
Inflation-adjusted: Rs 62K × (1.05)^5 = Rs 79K — Entry tier is below thisRose Hill is a mid-tier commercial hub. Port Louis (prime CBD) has listings at Rs 250–1,528/sqm — the wide range reflects location quality within the city. Rose Hill arcade ground floor should sit in the mid-range: Rs 600–900/sqm. Our Market Baseline of Rs 750/sqm is the center of this band.
Source: Port Louis listings ↗Port Louis upper-floor commercial spaces (518 sqm, 530 sqm) were listed at Rs 106–113/sqm — less than 1/4 of ground-floor rates. This validates pricing the 120 sqm upper floor at Rs 100–200/sqm as ancillary storage, not commercial retail.
Source: Port Louis listings (upper floor) ↗In the Lexpress Property data, 100 sqm sits at an interesting point: larger than the premium-per-sqm micro-spaces (14–36 sqm at Rs 800–1,625/sqm) but smaller than the discount-per-sqm large spaces (371+ sqm at Rs 390–485/sqm). A 100 sqm ground-floor arcade space at Rs 750/sqm is consistent with the pricing curve observed in the real data.
Data-driven: 100 sqm listings at Rs 250–700/sqm rangeThe ground floor can be used for food businesses, which in Port Louis command the highest per-sqm rates (Rs 700/sqm for food-compatible 140 sqm space). If the space is let to a food operator instead of a clothing retailer, the Fair Market to Premium tiers (Rs 900–1,100/sqm) become realistic. This ceiling justifies holding at Market Baseline.
Source: Port Louis 140 sqm food-compatible listing at Rs 700/sqmThe rent has been Rs 62,000 for 5 years. At ~5% annual inflation, the landlord has absorbed a ~22% real-terms rent reduction. Even the Entry tier (Rs 72,000) only recovers inflation — it's not a real increase in purchasing power. The Market Baseline (Rs 90,000) gives a modest 14% real increase after 5 years of erosion.
