Vastu for Commercial Complex

Key Elements to Consider
When designing or constructing a commercial complex, mall, or shopping center, Vastu Shastra plays a crucial role in ensuring success, harmony, and business growth. Every detail—from roads around the site to the placement of the staircase—can influence the energy flow and overall performance of the businesses within.
Here are the essential Vastu elements that must be checked for any commercial project:
✅ Surroundings of the Premises Matter
The surrounding environment, including roads, hills, and nearby water bodies, should be carefully evaluated. These external features can significantly affect the energy entering the site.
-
Roads facing the plot in the wrong direction can drain business energy
-
Water bodies in the northeast are highly auspicious
-
Hills or tall structures in the north or east can block success
✅ Plot Shape and Size
The shape and size of the plot are foundational in Vastu:
-
Square or rectangular plots are ideal—they bring stability and prosperity
-
Avoid irregular plots, as they often cause imbalance and slow growth
✅ Main Entrance of the Complex
The main entrance is where all energy enters. It must be:
-
Well-placed according to Vastu directions (preferably in the northeast, east, or north)
-
Clearly visible, well-lit, and welcoming

✅ Staircase and Lift Placement
Staircases and elevators should be:
-
Positioned in the south, southwest, or west zones
-
Not placed in the northeast, as it can block financial progress
✅ Vastu for Parking Area
-
Open parking is best placed in the north or east
-
Covered parking or basements should ideally be in the south or west
✅ Exterior Design and Elevation
The elevation and external design should slope downward toward the northeast and rise towards the southwest. This flow aligns energy naturally.
✅ Entry to Individual Offices
Every independent office or shop should have a well-planned entrance facing favorable directions, ensuring good vibes and foot traffic.
✅ Common Washroom Location
Toilets and washrooms should be located in the west or northwest zones of the complex. Avoid placing them in the northeast or center.
✅ Water Tank and Water Body Placement
-
Underground water tanks should be in the northeast
-
Overhead water tanks are best placed in the southwest
-
Artificial water bodies, fountains, or aquariums can enhance energy when placed correctly
✅ Canteen or Food Court Area
The ideal zone for a canteen or dining space is the southeast, which aligns with the fire element and supports nourishment.
✅ Power Room and Generator Setup
Keep electrical panels, power generators, and main power units in the southeast corner. This zone governs energy and electricity.
✅ Septic Tank & ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant)
These should be positioned in the northwest zone. Never place a septic tank in the southwest, as it can create major Vastu doshas (faults).
