Ivanhoe Cambridge and Temasek Acquire Stakes in Indian Real Estate Assets
In a strategic move that is set to impact the Indian real estate market, global real estate investment firm Ivanhoe Cambridge and Singapore's state investment firm Temasek have partnered to acquire stakes in a portfolio of assets located in India. The exact details of the assets and the size of the stake are not specified, but the acquisition is part of a broader trend of institutional investors increasing their exposure to the Indian real estate market.
The partnership aims to acquire a stake in various assets in India, with the potential to provide a partial exit to an existing investor. However, the identity of the existing investor from whom it is likely to provide a partial exit remains undisclosed.
Ivanhoe Cambridge, a subsidiary of Canadian pension fund Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), is no stranger to global real estate investments. This partnership marks another significant step in their expansion strategy.
Temasek, on the other hand, is Singapore's state investment firm, known for its diverse portfolio spanning various sectors and geographies. The involvement of both entities suggests a substantial scale of investment in the Indian real estate market.
