The Phoenix Mills Limited announces acquisition of a city-centric ~7-acre land parcel in Surat, Gujarat, for developing a premium retail destination
Mumbai, India (December 16, 2022): The Phoenix Mills Limited (“PML” or “Company”) announced today that it has completed acquisition of a prime city-centric land parcel in Surat, Gujarat, admeasuring approximately 7.22 acres, for a total consideration of approximately Rs. 510 crores, inclusive of stamp duty. The land is at a strategic location on Udhana Magdalla Road, Surat, Gujarat.
The land has been acquired through Thoth Mall and Commercial Real Estate Private Limited (“Thoth”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company. Thoth will develop a premium retail destination with gross leasable area of approximately 1.0 million square feet and currently expects to complete the retail development by FY27.
Graceworks Realty & Leisure Private Limited (“GRLPL”), which is a PML-GIC Joint Venture (“JV”) entity, owns 80% equity shareholding in Thoth and the balance 20% equity shareholding is held by Safal Construction (India) Private Limited, the flagship development arm of the Ahmedabad-based BSafal Group (“BSafal”). The acquisition of the land parcel has been funded by GRLPL and BSafal in their respective shareholdings as part of their overall equity commitment of Rs. 650 crores in Thoth. The balance equity commitment will be brought in by GRLPL and BSafal in their respective shareholdings in multiple tranches as required.
Surat is the second largest city in the state of Gujarat and the eighth most populous city in India.[1] It is often termed as the economic capital of Gujarat and is a prominent hub for the diamond and textile industry. Being a port city, it is Gujarat’s commercial and industrial hub and is home to manufacturing/engineering arms of several international companies. The city has witnessed fast growth over the last decade leasing to by immigration from various parts of Gujarat and other states of India. The acquired land is prominently located on the Udhana Magdalla Road, a key arterial road, at the City Light junction, and surrounded by dense residential area and also serves the fast-emerging residential hubs of Vesu, Magdalla, Piplod.
Commenting on the development, Mr. Shishir Shrivastava, Managing Director at The Phoenix Mills Limited, said: “We are pleased to announce our acquisition in Surat for a greenfield retail development project. Given the strategic location , the large captive population and the rapid growth expected in Surat, we believe that our mall can cater to the untapped and growing retail demand in this city and truly become the dominant consumption centre not only for Surat, but also for the region. This mall will be our second retail development in Gujarat, first being Phoenix Palladium Ahmedabad which is expected to commence operations shortly and this acquisition marks the expansion of our successful partnership with the BSafal Group. We remain optimistic about our future mall launches and with this acquisition we continue to execute our previously stated strategy of retail portfolio expansion in market leading destinations in cities of India, which present the opportunity for us to create such mega consumption hubs. In line with this strategy, we have seen immense success with our newest retail assets – Phoenix Palassio, Lucknow and the recently launched Phoenix Citadel, Indore.
