The first close garnered strong participation from several prominent investors, family offices, high-net-worth individuals (HNIs) and The Guardian Real Estate Advisory’s family office. In addition to this capital raise, Etonhurst has secured co-investment commitments, further strengthening its ability to support developers in delivering high-value redevelopment projects across Mumbai’s dynamic real estate landscape.

“We see immense potential in Mumbai’s redevelopment market, driven by rising demand for modern, well-planned urban spaces,” said Mr. Bamasish Paul, Co-Founder, Managing Partner & CEO of Etonhurst Capital Partners. “This successful first close is a testament to the strong investor confidence in our differentiated strategy. It positions us well to partner with developers and accelerate project execution across key residential micro-markets.”

The capital raised will be strategically deployed toward construction, regulatory approvals, and marketing efforts to ensure the seamless execution of redevelopment projects. The firm plans to allocate over 60% of the raised capital within the year with a robust pipeline of deals, prioritizing high-demand urban areas where redevelopment is key to addressing housing and infrastructure needs.

In parallel, the firm is targeting the expansion of its domestic redevelopment platform to ?2,000 crore over the next three to five years, underscoring its commitment to scaling its impact on India’s urban transformation. As part of its broader diversification strategy, Etonhurst is also exploring opportunities in new asset classes, including office redevelopment. With this milestone, Etonhurst Capital is poised to set new benchmarks in Mumbai’s redevelopment sector.
