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.
“We are excited to acquire Prius Platinum. This rare, institutionally owned asset perfectly aligns with the Prime Offices Fund’s (PRIME) strategy of creating a high-quality, sustainable, income-generating portfolio. With India’s commercial real estate sector continuing to show strong fundamentals, this acquisition marks an important milestone in delivering world-class investment solutions for our investors,” said Gaurav Puri, CIO, NCW.
“We are proud of the journey this asset has undergone — from acquisition through IBC to a complete revival as a state-of-the-art, ESG-compliant commercial hub. 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.
