Founded by Dr. P. Dayananda Pai and Mr. P. Satish Pai in 1973, Century Real Estate has established itself as one of the most respected names in the real estate industry. The company has a vast land bank of over 3,000 acres and a development portfolio of over 20 million square feet, which includes premium residential and commercial assets like hotels, office buildings, residences, educational institutions, and integrated townships.
The funding round was spearheaded by Ares Asia, which invested Rs 1,600 crore in two tranches, while SC Lowy contributed Rs 250 crore to support the development of residential and Grade A commercial spaces. Ravindra Pai, Managing Director of Century Real Estate, expressed his gratitude and confidence in the company's future. “Securing Rs 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 witnessing strong demand for both residential and Grade A commercial spaces, this capital infusion empowers us to accelerate our expansion,” he said.
Bengaluru, in particular, has seen a surge in property demand due to its growing tech industry and infrastructure developments.

In addition to Bengaluru, the company is also expanding its presence in other major cities such as Mumbai and Pune. These cities are experiencing similar growth patterns, with a strong demand for residential and commercial properties. The additional capital will enable Century Real Estate to capitalize on these opportunities and deliver high-quality projects that meet the needs of the market.
