The aggregate development area of these projects is 385,000 sq ft. The investments are part of the digital, secured debt platform, Earnnest.me, which is a subsidiary of Certus Capital.
These deals are in line with Certus Capital's broader strategy to support experienced developers in high-potential projects across tier-1 cities. According to Ashish Khandelia, founder of Certus Capital and Earnnest.me, these investments not only align with the company's goals but also contribute to the development of a broader high-yield bond market in the real estate sector.
Khandelia explained, 'These investments are in line with our strategy of supporting experienced developers in high-potential projects across tier-1 cities. We are also playing our part in the development of a broader high-yield, bond market, starting with real estate. These are institutionally assessed and diligenced deals, available to both individuals and institutions.'
Over the past three years, Certus Capital has closed nine deals for Earnnest.me and fully exited two, generating over 15% net returns for investors ahead of scheduled maturity. With these two new deals, the company has invested a total of Rs 450 crore since January this year. Certus Capital expects to close 2024 with total investments of Rs 600 crore, representing a six-fold increase compared to the previous year.
