This is the third large investment that Blackstone is making. So far as commercial real estate is concerned, in the last couple of years their first transaction was when they bought another IT project from Hubtown and DLF for Rs 810 crore. Then they bought Embassy developers last year, just about six months back and that was a large transaction worth Rs 1400 crore.

As far as commercial offices are concerned, with this transaction, Blackstone's total investment in India has ticked up to USD 550 million. With regards to investment strategy, they seem to be focusing on income generating assets that are partially occupied. Their strategy seems to be low risk and low return.
