Deal Overview

AU Real Estate acquired 446 apartments in bulk at ₹1,468 crore in Noida's Aspire Silicon City project (Sector-76) developed by NBCC (India) Ltd.
The acquisition was done through an e-auction, where the reserve price was fixed at ₹10,500 a sq ft; the actual purchase was at a marginally higher price.

Significance and Impact

The deal is one of the biggest recent bulk residential deals in Noida, indicating investor optimism and a pick-up in the city's real estate market.
Sale proceeds will assist NBCC in completing other ongoing projects and repay debts taken to complete these projects.
NBCC will receive a 1% marketing fee on the deal, which will further boost its operations.

About the Buyer

Ashish Agarwal, AU Real Estate Director, has confirmed the deal and described the company's plan to ride on Noida's increasing demand for real estate by selling the flats back and starting new ventures.
