Blackstone currently holds a 43% stake in Nexus Select Trust, India's pioneering REIT backed by retail properties. Sources confirmed that the units will be sold at a floor price of Rs 135 apiece, significantly reducing Blackstone's ownership to 21% post-transaction.
Nexus Select Trust boasts a diverse portfolio comprising 17 shopping malls, two hotels, and three office assets across 14 Indian cities. Launched last year, the Nexus Select Trust raised over Rs 3000 crore, adding to Blackstone's trio of sponsored REITs in India.
