Overview

Brookfield India Real Estate Trust is India’s only institutionally managed public commercial real estate vehicle. Sponsored by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, one of the world’s largest alternative asset managers with approximately US$800 billion in assets under management, our goal is to be the leading owner of high-quality income producing commercial real estate assets in key gateway Indian markets, which have significant barriers to entry.

Over the last two decades, India has emerged as a leading hub for technology and corporate services due to a highly skilled and young workforce with a distinct competitive cost advantage. With approximately 90 million people expected to be added to the workforce by 2030, this structural driver will further increase office absorption, creating compelling opportunities across India’s commercial real estate market.

Our strategy is to address this demand by owning and operating large “fully-integrated”, “campus style” office parks in established locations, and providing a complete ecosystem to our tenants and their employees.

The primary objective of our strategy is to provide attractive risk-adjusted total returns to our unitholders derived from:

  • Stable yield supported by our REIT Portfolio’s long-term contracted cash flows.
  • Property level income growth that is embedded in our REIT portfolio through contractual rent escalations, mark-to-market headroom and in-situ development potential.
  • Identified external growth opportunities with the potential of acquiring the Identified Asset and the ROFO properties.
  • Asset value appreciation, through continuous investment and upgrading of the properties.

The strong performance of our high-quality REIT portfolio, will be driven by proactive portfolio management, a prudent capital structure and a corporate governance framework aligned with best market practices. In addition, access to Brookfield Asset Management’s global platform provides a breadth of resources, relationships and expertise that compliments an on-ground management team with extensive experience, domain knowledge and a strong track record of value creation.
