Mumbai: Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC Pvt. Ltd has entered into a preliminary term-sheet with Bengaluru-based realty player Prestige Estates Projects Ltd to pick up a minority stake in the latter’s subsidiary.

Prestige Estate’s wholly-owned subsidiary Prestige Exora Business Parks Ltd and Reco Jade Ind Pvt. Ltd (Reco), a subsidiary of GIC (Realty) Pte. Ltd, have entered into a preliminary term sheet for picking up minority stake by Reco in Exora, the developer said in a filing to BSE.

Exora Business Parks owns, directly or indirectly, many operating and under-construction office properties of the developer. With nearly 83.63 million sq ft of completed projects and 142.4 million sq ft under various stages of implementation, Prestige is present in various business verticals including residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and services.

The company recently acquired CapitaLand’s stake in various mall entities for Rs342 crore. The acquisition portfolio includes five ready and operating retail malls across Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mangaluru, Mysuru and Udaipur, a mall management firm, operating Oakwood serviced residence at Bengaluru and under construction properties at Kochi.

It had also entered into a platform deal with HDFC Capital Advisors to create a corpus to the tune of Rs2,500 crore to develop large scale mid-income and affordable housing projects across geographies.
