The Brookfield India Real Estate Trust owns an Initial Portfolio of 4 large campus-format office parks, which are “business-critical”, located in some of India’s key gateway markets - Mumbai, Gurugram, Noida and Kolkata. Their Initial Portfolio totals 14.0 msf, comprising 10.3 msf of Completed Area, 0.1 msf of Under Construction Area and 3.7 msf of Future Development Potential.

The Brookfield India Real Estate Trust initial Portfolio’s Completed Area has a Same Store Committed Occupancy of 92% (and a 87% Committed Occupancy, which includes the recently completed 0.5 msf at Candor Techspace N1) and is leased to marquee tenants with 75% of Gross Contracted Rentals contracted with multinational corporations such as Barclays, Bank of America Continuum, RBS, Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services and Cognizant.

While a 7.1 year WALE provides stability to the cash flows of their Initial Portfolio, they are well positioned to achieve further organic growth through a combination of contractual lease escalations, 36% mark-to-market headroom to in-place rents, lease-up of vacant space and near-term completion of Under Construction Area to meet tenants’ expansion needs.

The Brookfield India Real Estate Trust intends to leverage Brookfield Group’s real estate holdings in India by entering into agreements that provide rights to acquire their existing properties in their markets. They have the exclusive right, at their discretion, to acquire the Identified Assets, one office park in each of Gurugram and Noida, similar to the office parks in the Initial Portfolio that are near-stabilization and currently owned by members of the Brookfield Group. The Identified Assets encompass 8.3 msf of office space. The Initial Portfolio, Identified Assets and ROFO Properties combined, creates the potential for them to almost double their Initial Portfolio’s Leasable Area to 28.9 msf.
