The funding round was led by Ares Asia, which contributed Rs 1,600 crore across two tranches, while SC Lowy added Rs 250 crore. The capital will support the development of residential and Grade A commercial properties across key Bengaluru locations.
With Bengaluru emerging as a major hub for luxury real estate and global capability centres (GCCs), Century Real Estate aims to leverage this momentum by expanding its project pipeline. It positions Century to meet rising demand in northern and eastern Bengaluru. The company has demonstrated consistent growth, with over two-fold year-on-year increases for the last five years.
These micro-markets benefit from improved metro connectivity and proximity to the airport, boosting their appeal among high-net-worth individuals, as noted in Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2025. The strategic location and infrastructure improvements are expected to further enhance the value and attractiveness of Century Real Estate's projects in these areas.
Century Real Estate's expansion plans are well-aligned with the broader economic and demographic trends in Bengaluru. The city's rapid urbanization and economic growth have created a significant demand for high-quality residential and commercial spaces. By securing this substantial funding, Century Real Estate is well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities and solidify its position as a leading developer in the region.
