Unlocking $48 Billion in Indian Office Space: The Rise of Fractional Ownership
Real Estate Mumbai:The Indian real estate market is witnessing a significant shift towards fractional ownership, with an estimated $48 billion worth of office space available for investment. A recent report by JLL-Property Share reveals that the fractional ownership market is expected to grow over tenfold, surpassing $5 billion by 2030.

Major cities like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru are leading the market, offering significant investment opportunities in well-leased office assets. The report highlights that Mumbai presents unparalleled opportunities for SM REITs, offering a healthy mix of well-leased large and mid-sized assets ideal for acquisition by Fractional Ownership Platforms.

Companies like Strata, hBits, and WiseX are already filing for the SM REIT (Small and Medium Real Estate Investment Trust) licence with SEBI. Shiv Parekh, Founder & CEO of hBits, said, Our initial offerings will feature SM REITs for new commercial assets valued between ₹75 crore to ₹100 crore, in Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Pune. Our overarching goal is to triple our Assets Under Management (AUM) from ₹365 crore to ₹1,000 crore by the end of the next fiscal.

Mumbai and Delhi NCR have emerged as top hotspots for asset acquisition under the SM REIT umbrella. Additionally, tech markets show notable growth potential, with attractive investment opportunities in well-leased mid-sized assets suitable for SM REITs.

India's fractional ownership market is witnessing exponential growth, currently valued at around $500 million and expected to surpass $5 billion in Assets Under Management (AUM) by 2030. The market is driven by the growth of SM REITs, which provide a tremendous opportunity to monetize income-generating assets that currently lack liquidity.
