Prestige Estates Projects has agreed to acquire a 50% stake in a major commercial real estate development in Mumbai for Rs 504 crore.

The project, valued at Rs 4,500 crore, offers 1.5 million square feet of leasable space and marks a significant expansion for the Bengaluru-based developer into India's most critical commercial real estate market.

The acquisition underscores Prestige Estates' strategy to diversify beyond its residential stronghold in Bengaluru.

By targeting high-value commercial assets in Mumbai, the company is positioning itself to capture rental income and capital appreciation in a sector that has seen renewed institutional interest.

The deal structure, involving a joint venture stake rather than an outright purchase, allows for risk-sharing while securing a foothold in a prime location.

This move comes as Indian real estate developers increasingly seek growth avenues amid cooling residential sales in some segments.
