The fund, managed by Nisus BCD Advisors LLP, has already invested ₹450 crore in four transactions, out of a total fund corpus of ₹700 crore. Recent investments include ₹60 crore in listed non-convertible debentures for Bengaluru's Project High Cliff and ₹105 crore in Shapoorji Pallonji Real Estate's subsidiary, Suvita Real Estate. The latter investment targeted acquiring a 12.16-acre land parcel in Pune's Manjari-Budruk area, a key growth market.
The primary objective of the fund is to invest in mid-income and affordable housing projects, as well as plotted development opportunities. RESO-1 focuses on special situation funds to unlock significant value by financing projects needing financial completion. The fund targets an internal rate of return (IRR) between 18% and 22% over a five-year horizon, with the potential to extend for an additional two years if necessary.
According to Amit Goenka, Managing Director and CEO of Nisus Finance, there is strong demand for last-mile construction finance as numerous real estate projects remain unfinished. Nisus Finance's focus on addressing the financing gap for real estate projects is vital, particularly for developments in the affordable housing segment. By providing critical last-mile financing, Nisus is playing a pivotal role in helping these projects move from the development phase to completion, ensuring that they reach the market on time and meet growing housing demand.
