MUMBAI:
In its bid to democratise commercial real estate like never before, Strata today announced that it aims to raise assets worth Rs. 600 crore by the upcoming quarter – June 2021.

Strata has raised approximately Rs. 81 crore for premium commercial assets across Mumbai and Hyderabad in the last one month alone. Both assets received 100% funding within just 2-5 days of its listing.
Real estate is closely linked to the infrastructure sector and is fundamental for its growth, while also creating the right environment for economic growth.

The company pairs high-yield assets and functional expertise with deep tenant knowledge across sectors while partnering with developers and asset owners to unlock the right value for its investors.
