No Base Rent. Pure Revenue Share.
Retail operators within the Mentawai SEZ will trade on a pure revenue-share model — no base rent, no fixed overhead regardless of trading conditions. The programme's commercial interests are directly aligned with operator performance. When retailers succeed, the programme succeeds. The structure is designed to attract quality operators, not extract rent from struggling ones.


A Captive High-Spend Audience Across Six Precincts
Six distinct precincts — from the grassroots energy of Driftwood City to the refined luxury of the Prestige Quarter — each with its own commercial identity and visitor profile. Projected per-capita spend of US$4,700+ positions Mentawai as a premium retail environment. Operators choose the precinct that fits their brand.
A Special Category for Artisans and Producers
Makers Corner District offers a dedicated commercial environment for artisans, fabricators, and small-scale producers — with the M Labs infrastructure, tool library, and maker residences providing the foundation. Revenue-share positions from US$50,000. Pure commercial alignment. The working soul of the island.
