India's commercial office property asset class presents a profitable alternative for NRI investors looking at maximising returns and generating fixed income while simultaneously maintaining a low-risk investment profile. The attractiveness of good capital appreciation, as well as rental yield, has increased NRI inventor demand for Grade A offices, IT parks, logistics centers - and now REITs as well.

A good commercial property can give an average rental yield of 6-10 percent and the current rental yield from residential property is a mere 1.5-3.5 percent. The same growth range holds true for capital appreciation.
