Värde Partners, a global alternative investment firm, has announced that it has provided senior construction financing on two pre-leased office assets in the Gachibowli Financial District of Hyderabad, India.
The $155 million facility will be used to refinance and fund to completion over 2.5 million square feet across the two Grade A developments owned by Phoenix Group. To date, over 1.5 million square feet has been pre-let to two multi-national companies.
Värde believes that India’s real estate market is experiencing a significant imbalance in the supply and demand of capital, leading to many businesses with robust balance sheets seeking alternative sources of capital.
“We see significant opportunity across the Indian office market for both the financing and purchase of assets, in a market that offers potential strong cash-flow visibility, multinational tenants and strong absorption,” said Tim Mooney, Partner and Global Head of Real Estate at Värde Partners. “India is a dramatic example, but emblematic of what we’re seeing across the Asia Pacific region, and across the globe. We believe that a real estate cycle is upon us and while not nearly as pronounced as the cycle brought on by the global financial crisis, the opportunity set is significant and growing.”
