The 3 lakh sq ft operational property was acquired from a fund managed by Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited led consortium. According to sources, the premium Grade A office space was acquired for around ₹750 crore, with a monthly rent of approximately ₹5 to ₹6 crore.
The property, which was acquired by the Kotak consortium through the IBC process in 2021, has undergone a comprehensive transformation, including upgrades, ESG initiatives, and enhanced operational performance. These efforts have led to an increase in leasing activity, marking a significant milestone in the firm's value-creation strategy and commitment to sustainability-driven investments.
The property is 95% leased, providing stable rental income with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of five years and in-place lock-in periods, ensuring long-term income stability. The asset boasts a marque tenant stack, including leading legal, pharma, and financial institutions of India and other front office tenants. This acquisition reinforces PRIME fund’s strategy of investing in high-quality office spaces across India’s prime commercial hubs.
JLL India was the transaction advisor for the deal but did not comment on the transaction.

This sale is a testament to the strength of our asset management capabilities and our ability to create long-term value for stakeholders through sustainability-focused strategies,” said Rahul Chhaparwal at Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited.
