India’s domestic market, is amongst the high-yielding markets, globally, with yields from prime grade A office space at 9-12%, compared to 4-7% in the USA and Europe.Over the past few years, has emerged as an alternative investment option. However, until recently, participation in the realty sector was limited to direct investment in individual properties.
