Mumbai, January 23, 2025 — Build Capital, an innovative early-stage real estate fund, has made a significant move by completing its first investment in the Navi Mumbai real estate market, targeting a project by Satyam Group. This investment marks a strategic entry for Build Capital as it seeks to become a leading partner in early-stage real estate financing within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).
“We are addressing the existing gaps in early-stage financing within the real estate industry through our creative approach. Navi Mumbai has become a focal micro-market for us, especially considering the significant growth in real estate development in the area.”
Since its inception in April 2024, Build Capital has completed transactions totaling ₹100 crore, investing primarily in Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) projects and society redevelopment initiatives. The recent investment allows Build Capital to venture into the CIDCO plot development segment, further diversifying its portfolio.
Rahul Nahata, Co-Founder of Build Capital, expressed optimism about the new investment, saying, “Partnering with Satyam Group has strengthened our position in the MMR real estate financing landscape. We aim to double our team size this year, enhancing our ability to quickly assess and mobilize capital for real estate developers in the MMR zone. With our in-house expertise, we can evaluate project opportunities and deploy capital in as little as 15 to 20 days.”
The real estate financing sector is projected to reach a market size of USD 1 trillion by 2030, up from USD 200 billion in 2021, contributing approximately 13% to India’s GDP by 2025. Early-stage financing represents a significant portion of this growth but has often been overlooked by traditional financing methods due to the unique nature and duration of the investments required.
