The funding round was led by Ares Asia, which contributed ₹1,600 crore in two tranches. Additionally, SC Lowy invested ₹250 crore to back Century Real Estate’s expansion within Bengaluru.
The funds will be used to advance the company’s development of residential and Grade A commercial spaces in key locations across the city. Century Real Estate aims to unlock substantial value from both new and existing projects, further reinforcing its leadership in Bengaluru’s property market.
The company has achieved over two-fold year-on-year growth for the past five years, driven by increasing demand for luxury residential and commercial properties from established brands and new investors. In the first half of FY25, the developer recorded pre-sales revenue of ₹1,024 crore, along with a 121% rise in residential sales bookings compared to the previous fiscal year.
Ravindra Pai, Managing Director of Century Real Estate, expressed confidence in the company’s future and said, “Securing ₹1,850 crore in funding is a testament to the trust our financial partners place in Century Real Estate’s vision and execution. With Bengaluru’s real estate market seeing unprecedented demand for both residential and Grade A commercial spaces, this capital infusion enables us to accelerate our growth and deliver world-class developments. We are committed to meeting the rising demand for premium living and business spaces in the city.”
Bengaluru’s real estate sector continues to show strong growth, particularly in the northern and eastern parts of the city. Improved metro connectivity and northern Bengaluru’s proximity to the airport are expected to further boost demand in these micro-markets. The city has also emerged as a hotspot for luxury real estate. Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2025 ranks Bengaluru as a top destination for high-net-worth individuals investing in residential properties.
As multinational corporations increasingly establish Global Capability Centres (GCCs) in Bengaluru, the city is becoming an attractive hub for business and innovation. Major global players, including technology giants like Google, are contributing to the demand for premium office spaces and luxury residences. Century Real Estate’s expansion efforts are strategically aligned with this growth, positioning the company to continue shaping Bengaluru’s skyline through high-quality residential and commercial developments.
