The existing land bank has potential of 20 million sq. ft commercial development in the next three to four years, says CEO Sanjay Dutt
Tata Realty and Infrastructure (TRIL) is
planning to list its Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) with a portfolio of 20
million sq ft of commercial assets in the next few years.
This will be done after the portfolio is expanded
from present 6.2 million sq ft to 20 million sq ft via new developments and
acquisitions.
Sanjay Dutt, managing director and chief executive
officer of TRIL told The Economic Times that the existing land bank has
potential of 20 million sq ft commercial development in the next
three to four years.
The portfolio may also include office spaces and
data centre assets.
He added that his team has looked at least four
proposals from developers looking to monetise their portfolios including single
assets and carved-out portfolios across the country.
“We are targeting a 45-50 million sq ft in
commercial portfolio in over seven years. However, as we are developing several
built-to-suit projects for clients, the pace would stand accelerated,” he said.
Apart from monetisation of assets and inventories
(it sold properties worth Rs 2,000 crore over past two years), holding company
Tata Sons will ensure sufficient capital infusion, Dutt added.
TRIL achieved close to 15 percent rental growth in
FY20 from leasing its existing it 6.2 million sq ft commercial portfolio, and
expects similar growth this fiscal as well, despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Dutt noted that the June quarter saw 8 percent
increase in rentals, which is expected to be 11 percent by the end of 2020.
Ongoing projects include a 1 million sq. ft
development in Gurugram expected by November 2020; another 1 million sq ft in
Gurugram expected by 2021; a 47-acre plot in Navi Mumbai, where 0.5 million sq
ft development is expected to commence soon; and another 0.8 million sq ft is
in advanced stage of pre-lease for a built-to-suit campus.
