A joint venture between Shapoorji Pallonji Group and Allianz Real Estate has completed its exit from a Hyderabad commercial SEZ development Waverock.
In a statement the SP group said that the joint venture entity SPREF II Pte had completed the sale of securities held in TSI Business Parks (Hyderabad) Pvt Ltd, the entity that has developed Waverock, a grade-A IT SEZ located in Gachibowli in Hyderabad with a gross leasable area of approximately 2.4 million square feet.
The stake has been purchased by a “joint venture of global institutional investors”, the statement said, without revealing any names, nor the amount paid.
However, sources indicated that one of the buyers was Singapore’s GIC. Last year businessline had written about the transaction and the transaction amount mentioned was ₹2,150 crore. In 2019, SPREF II acquired the same asset from GIC and Tishman Speyer for ₹1,750 crore.

“This transaction underlines the inherent attractiveness of the Indian Real Estate market.
