Nisus Finance Services Co has officially declared a substantial capital of ₹90 crore to be invested in a large-scale real estate development in Hinjewadi, Pune. The capital injection involves its real estate-focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), identified as the Real Estate Special Opportunities Fund-I (RESO-I). This strategy focuses on investing in Realnet Ventures, who operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the well-known development company called Paranjape Schemes (Construction).

This development company, owned by Shrikant Paranjape and Shashank Paranjape, has used this investment opportunity to further develop its regional expansion plans, including its residential project pipeline.

Integrated township and specific project

The project that is receiving the investment is all part and parcel of Blue Ridge, a broad and maturely developed township of 150 acres constructed by Paranjape Schemes (Constructions) in Hinjewadi Phase One. This township is one of the largest landmarks in the area, with a well-rounded infrastructure that integrates various attractions under one roof. 

The development has now produced 33 residential towers, home to over 6,000 families currently living in the project. The township has three Special Economic Zones (SEZs) that together employ more than 35,000 IT professionals, making it a key economic node in Pune.

In addition to its residential and commercial aspects, Blue Ridge includes an abundance of social and institutional frameworks and contemporary conveniences. The township has its own educational facility, a variety of commercial businesses, and recreation areas that are designed to enrich the quality of its citizens’ lives. 

This encompasses such facilities as a nine-pocket golf course, basketball court, and tennis court at the township level. The project is also being integrated into this vibrant and operational community, which gives it a unique competitive edge, tapping into the social and economic world of the wider township.

Project specifications and financial perspective

The funded project is a phased construction of a multi-unit residential apartment tower located on 1.09 acres of conveyed property. It has a considerable total saleable area of 4.02 lakh sq.ft. The project’s architectural modernization is intended to provide a comfortable home environment for a total of 188 high-end apartments, with a particular emphasis on larger formats to answer increasing family and professional needs in the IT corridor.

The tower is divided into three-BHK and four-BHK units. The three-BHK layouts come with an average size of 1300 sq ft and are designed to provide ample rooms to urban families. The larger four-BHK units offer an average of 1,700 square feet, which comes up to the requirement of the market for premium luxury housing in the township. These specific, larger configurations directly relate to the demographic demands of the high-income professionals who work within the adjoining SEZs.

Financing-wise, the residential project looks exceptionally promising for the developers as well as for Nisus Finance Services Co. The estimated Gross Development Value is approximately ₹370 crore. This high market value reflects the premium nature of the development, owing to its locality, Hinjewadi Phase One, which has a high real estate valuation.

With solid sales projections and faithful execution schedules, the development is expected to generate an operating profit of around ₹143 crore. With this ‘cushion,’ it shows that the project continues to be highly viable and offers a strong return on the Real Estate Special Opportunities Fund-I investment. The Nisus Finance assurance of structural viability of the tower demonstrates institutional certainty in the financial metrics and the cash flow proposition of the Paranjape Schemes’ subsidiary.

Conclusion

Nisus Finance Services Co’s investment in Paranjape Schemes’ Hinjewadi project, valued at ₹90 crore, is turning pivotal moments for real estate development in Pune’s primary IT hub. Nisus Finance is investing in Realnet Ventures under its specialized RESO-I fund, which boasts strong fundamental metrics and a proven development trajectory.

The central position of the tower in the flourishing, 150-acre Blue Ridge township provides instant access to the best social infrastructure, commerce, and modern recreational facilities, thus eliminating most market risks. Having an expected Gross Development Value of ₹370 crore, and an estimated operating surplus of ₹143 crore, this premium residential block is poised to satisfy the local demand for expanded three-BHK and four-BHK homes.
