ASK Property Fund, India Sotheby’s to launch first luxury real estate fund
Live MintASK Property Fund, the real estate private equity arm of Blackstone-backed ASK Asset & Wealth Management Group, has teamed up with India Sotheby’s International Realty to unveil the ASK Curated Luxury Assets Fund, the country’s first investment platform dedicated to luxury real estate. “We expect the luxury real estate market in India to continue to perform well even if there are cyclical blips. The country's wealth creation story will also continue," Amit Bhagat, co-founder, CEO and managing director at ASK Property Fund told Mint in an interview. "High net-worth individuals and ultra-HNIs, as they create more wealth, will become more aspirational and demand more from developers of luxury projects.” Post-pandemic, India’s luxury real estate segment has seen robust growth, driven by rising demand for larger, better homes.
