The deal comes at a time when India’s commercial property sector is gaining attention from both institutional and retail investors for its potential to offer stable, inflation-hedged rental income, especially from marquee properties with long-term tenants.
Prius Platinum spans 0.3 million sq. ft. and was previously owned by a consortium led by Kotak Alternate Asset Managers Limited. The property was originally acquired via the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) route in 2021 and has since undergone extensive upgrades, including ESG initiatives, modernisation, and a leasing push.
The building is now 95% leased, with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) of 5 years — a metric that provides comfort to long-term investors seeking predictable income flows.
According to Gaurav Puri, Chief Investment Officer at NCW, Prius Platinum fits perfectly into PRIME’s vision of creating a sustainable, high-quality, income-generating portfolio. With tenants from legal, pharma, and financial services sectors, the property is positioned to deliver consistent rental yields.
From a personal finance perspective, investments in such commercial office spaces — either directly (for high-net-worth individuals) or indirectly via managed funds like PRIME — are becoming a popular hedge against equity market volatility and low-interest fixed deposits.
This move also reflects a broader trend of 'value creation through transformation' — where distressed or under-utilised assets are revamped to create premium, ESG-compliant commercial hubs.
Rahul Chhaparwal, Partner at Kotak Alternate Asset Managers, called the transaction a 'testament' to the firm’s ability to turn around distressed assets and extract long-term value. He added that the complete revival of Prius Platinum highlights Kotak’s sustainability-led asset management strategy.
