Grade A business park development fund launched in India: CLI

The fund has a target size of $525m to invest in business parks.

CapitaLand Investment Limited (CLI) said it secured $263m from a global institution for a 50% stake in CapitaLand India Growth Fund 2 (CIGF2), its development fund for business parks in India’s gateway cities.

It seeks to maintain a sponsor stake of 20% in the fund, in line with its asset-light strategy to grow its funds under management (FUM) while keeping strong alignment with its investors and partners.

Including CLI’s equity contribution for the 20% stake, the total equity commitment for the first closing is $368m. This is expected to contribute approximately $700m to CLI’s FUM.

CIGF2 acquired an equity stake of 70% in International Tech Park Chennai, Radial Road (ITPC-Radial Road) from CLI for $95m as its seed asset. 

CLI will continue to oversee the ITPC-Radial Road asset after its divestment. Located in the business hub of Chennai, the 2.6 million-square feet ITPC-Radial Road caters to the IT / IT-Enabled Services sector. 

The area has two blocks of Grade A office space, state-of-the-art infrastructure, and is well connected with all modes of transport including the upcoming metro line. 

ITPC-Radial Road is being developed in two phases, with Phase 1 targeted to be finished by third quarter of 2023.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
