Century Real Estate Raises ₹1,850 Crore to Speed Up Bengaluru Expansion

In a significant indication of faith in the luxury real estate sector in India, Bengaluru-based developer Century Real Estate has raised ₹1,850 crore to expand its development pipeline in the city. The money will be employed to drive projects worth a combined gross development value (GDV) of ₹14,000 crore.

The new capital infusion was spearheaded by Ares Asia, a global investment company that put in ₹1,600 crore in two installments. The balance ₹250 crore came from SC Lowy, a Hong Kong financial conglomerate. This huge support materializes at a time of rising demand for luxury residential and Grade A commercial spaces in Bengaluru, particularly its northern and eastern corridors.

Century Real Estate intends to invest the money in several new ventures, well-positioned in rapidly developing areas that enjoy good infrastructure like expanding metro connectivity and proximity to the international airport. These have contributed to regions such as North and East Bengaluru becoming more desirable for both investors and buyers of housing.

“Our focus is to align with Bengaluru’s evolving urban growth and cater to the surging demand from high-net-worth individuals and global capability centres,” said a company spokesperson. With this investment, we are better placed to spur project completion and provide value-for-money living and working spaces.”

The pace in Bengaluru’s real estate market is also substantiated by findings from Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2025, which reveals a steady increase in demand from multi-national companies and high-net-worth individuals.

Century Real Estate has shown phenomenal performance over the past five years, having doubled its growth each year.

With this latest financial boost, the company is poised to deepen its presence in one of India’s most dynamic property markets.

The development community will be watching closely as Century deploys this capital, potentially u setting new benchmarks for luxury and commercial real estate in South India’s tech capital.
