Godrej Properties said on July 18 it acquired 48 acres outright in Doddaballapur, North Bengaluru, near the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR). The site has estimated potential for approximately 1.1 million square feet of residential plotted development.

On July 16, Godrej Properties announced its entry into Raipur through the acquisition of around 50 acres for premium plotted residential units, with estimated saleable area of around 9.5 lakh square feet.

Godrej Properties acquired a 48-acre land parcel in Doddaballapur, with development potential of 1.1 million sq ft. Doddaballapur’s real estate profile is supported by connectivity to Kempegowda International Airport, the development of STRR, industrial investments and nearby Nandi Hills.

Nine proposed flyover projects in Bengaluru, estimated to cost around ₹3,198 crore, may be re-tendered. A government committee is reviewing the tender conditions, and the plans await final government clearance. The flyovers were proposed along major corridors including Mysuru Road, Tumakuru Road, Kanakapura Road, Old Madras Road, Hosur Road and Doddaballapura Road.

The 1.8-kilometre Yelahanka flyover between Yelahanka police station and Seshadripuram First Grade College Junction on Doddaballapur Main Road is expected to open by end of December 2026. Originally scheduled for July 2023, the project has missed multiple deadlines: December 2022, July 2023, December 2023, December 2024, March 2025, December 2025, and May 2026. The project was awarded in January 2022. BNCC Commissioner Pommala Sunil Kumar cited completion of assessment of pending works and said practical deadline is end of December. Officials attribute delays to rising traffic volumes and construction hour restrictions on the busy Doddaballapur Main Road. BNCC held meeting with contractor and set strict deadline for project completion.

Doddaballapur Road, once mainly industrial and agricultural, is seeing residential and commercial growth as Bengaluru expands north. The corridor is near Kempegowda International Airport, employment hubs, educational institutions and social infrastructure, attracting professionals, airport-linked employees, families seeking larger affordable homes and investors. New residential projects are entering the market, with housing demand growing.

Infrastructure developments include widening the Yelahanka–Doddaballapur Road into a four-lane corridor, improved links to NH-44 and Bellary Road, better airport access, upgraded junctions and flyovers, and continued road-network improvements. The article says improved transport has reduced travel times. Schools, colleges, hospitals, supermarkets, shopping centres, restaurants and recreational facilities are also developing.

Upcoming road projects, improved public transport and commercial development are expected to support further growth. Buyers are advised to verify RERA registration, land titles and statutory approvals, assess developers, infrastructure plans and workplace access, and compare prices with nearby localities.
