While the pharma warehousing asset in Bengaluru was closed within a record time of just 7 days. The consortium of assets collectively computed for a total of 0.7 million sq. ft. of warehousing space.
The assets are expected to offer investors an average rental yield anywhere between 9.5% and 10% Y-o-Y, which is amongst the highest when compared to other investment opportunities such as — mutual funds, fixed deposits and equity markets.
