Mainstream REIT Structuring & Listing Services
Advisory support for structuring and listing REITs, helping unlock value from rent-yielding commercial real estate portfolios.
Bringing Institutional Real Estate to the Public Markets
The real estate industry in India is transforming asset-based models to capital-intensive approaches. To developers, asset owners and investment platforms with large-scale income-generating assets, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) provide an opportunity of a lifetime to raise long-term capital without losing property control.
REITs unlock the value of stabilized rental portfolios by turning them into publicly traded units that allow constant income distributions to investors and liquidity to sponsors. Now its the right time to consider issuing REITs in India with a strong regulatory framework of SEBI and an increasing appetite of investors.
India IPO being one of the best REIT issue consultants India enables you to design, structure and list your REIT in a fully regulatory-compliant, investor-friendly friendly and execution-assisted manner- from concept to IPO and beyond.
What is a REIT?
A REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) is an investment vehicle that is based on trusts that own and manage income-producing real estate and pass most of its income to the unit holders. REITs are listed on the stock exchange and are governed by SEBI to provide transparency, governance and retail/institutional investor confidence.
Key Highlights:
- Pooling of capital in a trust structure by public investors
- Portfolio consists of office parks, malls, warehouses, etc.
- Compulsory listing and income distribution quarterly
- Units are traded on NSE/BSE just as equity shares
- Open to retail, HNI and institutional investors
