Mahindra Lifespace formed a JV in 2009 to set up a Rs 400 crore residential project inside Mahindra World City. The private equity real estate fund, Arch Capital Asian Partners, L P, managed by Arch Capital Management Company Limited, had a 49% stake in the JV. The fund is an affiliate of Ayala Land, the Philippines’ largest trusted real estate brand, and Ayala Corporation.

Following the buyout, the SPV will become a 100% subsidiary of Mahindra Lifespace now.
