Shriram Properties Signs JDA for a prime 6-acre land parcel in Pune

PUNE: Shriram Properties Limited (“SPL”), one of the leading residential real estate developers in South India, has signed a Joint Development Agreement for a 6-acre prime land, nestled in the upcoming micro markets of Undri in Pune.

The Company is embarking on mixed-use development, comprising 650+ apartments and some retail/commercial spaces with an aggregate saleable area of over 1.0 msf, to be developed over the next 4 years. The project has an aggregate revenue potential of approx. ₹700 – ₹750 crores. The Company is targeting to launch this project during H2-FY25. SPL envisions crafting a landmark residential project in this upcoming micro market of Pune. The project promises effortless access to IT/ITeS spaces, retail, premium educational institutions, and central parts of the city.

The Project also comes with an option for the development of an additional 8 acres, predominantly retail and commercial. SPL is in the final stages of securing development rights to this additional land, expected to be completed shortly.

Commenting on the development, Murali Malayappan, Chairman & Managing Director, of SPL, said, “This investment is consistent with our asset-light strategy for accelerated growth. Pune is a promising market, and we see significant potential for large, established brands like Shriram. Owing to its proximity to IT/ITeS, Undri has emerged as a vital micro market witnessing significant demand in recent years. We are looking forward to the project launch during this quarter and remain committed to delivering top-notch quality swiftly and ensuring utmost satisfaction for our customers”.

SPL has decided on an entry into the Pune market, as it is the second-largest residential market that has grown strongly in recent years. Pune is predominantly mid-market focused and benefits from customer demography that is similar to SPL’s core markets of Bangalore and Chennai. It is supported by diversified and buoyant economic activity and growing infrastructure investments.

This project acquisition is an integral part of SPL’s pursuit of accelerated growth, whilst remaining asset-light, over the next few years. The project will further fortify its strong project pipeline and support growth momentum going forward. SPL has a strong pipeline of 42 projects with 42 msf of saleable area, including 26 ongoing projects with 24.3 msf of saleable area as of June 30, 2024. Nearly 75% of ongoing projects are already sold and the Company has ‘zero inventory’ in completed projects.
