The public issue of Bengaluru-based real estate investment trust (REIT), which owns and develops Grade A+ office assets, will conclude on May 7.

The proposed IPO comprises a fresh issue of units aggregating up to Rs 2,390 crore and an offer-for-sale (OFS) of units worth up to Rs 1,015 crore by the selling unitholder. Proceeds will be used to acquire Luxor at Bagmane Capital Tech Park (spanning one million sq ft) as well as part-fund the acquisition of a 93 per cent stake in Bagmane Rio, which owns the 1.1 million sq ft Bagmane Rio Business Park.
