While mass housing destinations across the country, like Rajarhat New Town in Kolkata or Greater Noida West in Delhi-NCR, have come up because of low price points, the real estate market in north Bengaluru is dotted with all kinds of offerings, ranging from affordable housing to upscale luxury and villa projects.

Airport boosts north Bengaluru’s development

Ashish R Puravankara, managing director of Puravankara Limited, believes that it is a combination of attractive price points, future growth and land availability that have made north Bengaluru an attractive property destination.

“The availability of large land tracts, good connectivity to business districts and adequate social infrastructure, are the reasons why developers are flocking to north Bengaluru. Globally, we have seen that airports regions, coupled with good network of roads, are epicenters of development and the same is true for north Bengaluru. This region also has excellent schools, hospitals and malls, along with upcoming office supply. Just to put things in perspective, 3,000 acres of space has been trifurcated into three business parks – IT, hardware and aerospace and this is ten times the size of Electronic City,” says Puravankara.

P Ravindra Pai, managing director of Century Real Estate, maintains that in the past, the main attractions in north Bengaluru, were the Nandi Hills and the Aero Show. Although large parcels of land were available, most of the developers stayed away. However, ever since the Bengaluru international airport started its operations in May 2008, north Bengaluru has witnessed increasing development.

“The areas from Hebbal to Devanahalli, have recently witnessed a splurge of residential and commercial development. There are also many planned projects – both residential and commercial – which are at various stages of execution. Developers are also expecting further infrastructure development, including hardware and tech parks, which are coming up near the airport. Investors can also buy residential properties at affordable costs,” Pai explains.
