CapitaLand India Trust (CLINT) has acquired a INR6.76bn (€74m) office tower in Mumbai from developer Aurum Ventures.

Known as Building Q2, the multi-tenanted IT non-special economic zone (SEZ) office building is located at Aurum Q Parc business park in Navi Mumbai.

Sanjeev Dasgupta, CEO of the manager, CapitaLand India Trust Management, said: â€œWe have seen strong leasing interest and rental growth in Building Q2 due to demand from multinational companies seeking a convenient base, as Aurum Q Parc is in close proximity to transport networks such as Ghansoli railway station and the upcoming international airport in Navi Mumbai.â€�

Building Q2 is the second of two buildings that CLINT has acquired through a forward-purchase agreement with the Aurum Venture by what was the Ascendas India Trust in 2018.
