I heard that Aditya Birla Real Estate Fund has dea. out Rs.1100 crore fund in its entire corpus across 13 transactions. The investment has been made in the form of equity through non-convertible debentures (NCDs).
Now-a-days, a clutch of private equity funds have been buying apartments at discounts to market prices over the last year or so as residential sales continued to be slow and developers, in need of capital, were to sell apartments in bulk.
@Bulbul, Domestic capital is still easier to raise while raising offshore capital for residental projects remains a challenging and lengthy process. Offshore investors are directly typing up with developers here to invest and many of them remain keen to invest in rent generating office assets.
Real estate fund-raising seems to be on in full steam, going by the number of funds which are on the road to raise money or are planning to do so next year.
One of the major deal, Aditya Birla Real Estate Fund has invested about Rs.90 crore in buying apartments in Signia Isles, a luxury residential project of Sunteck Realty Ltd in Mumbais Bandra-Kurla Complex.
