The office tower, known as Building Q2, is spread over 8.5 lakh sq ft and has a LEED Platinum rating. It is a multi-tenanted tower with a mix of marquee clients, including DP World, Mizuho Bank, Lloyd Register, IdeaForge, Technip, ICICI Bank, and Axis Bank.
The deal follows a forward purchase agreement between Aurum Ventures and Ascendas India Trust, entered in May 2018. The definitive agreements between both entities have now been executed to acquire all the issued share capital in the Building Q2 for a gross consideration of around Rs 707 crore.
Earlier, in November 2021, Ascendas had acquired the first office building, Q1, measuring 6.2 lakh sq ft in the same commercial campus for Rs 353 crore. The cumulative monetization for Aurum under the forward purchase agreement has crossed Rs 1,070 crore with both these transactions.
The campus, Aurum Q Parc, is expected to soon operationalize a retail galleria, 'Aurum Square,' including a 1000-seater Cinepolis multiplex, over 10 branded multi-cuisine and fine-dine restaurants boasting sky lounges, indoor seating, and sky decks. Aurum is constructing another 1.3-million-sq-ft office building, Q3, in the same campus, which is slated to be completed by December 2027.
The Indian real estate market is experiencing a buoyant phase, characterized by a surge in institutional investment despite global economic uncertainties. The optimistic outlook is largely due to the robust performance of key segments such as warehousing, residential, and office space.
Foreign investors continue to play a pivotal role, with significant contributions coming in from the Middle East, indicating their strong confidence in India's growth potential. The first half of 2024 has witnessed investment inflows of $3 billion, up 15% from a year ago, according to data from real estate consultancy Knight Frank India. Local private equity investors have also shown notable engagement, with their participation reaching levels not seen in the past decade.
