Bangalore’s Fringes Witness a Boom in Plotted Real Estate and Integrated Townships
A major transformation is changing Bangalore’s real estate scene. Buyers now focus on flexible plotted developments and self-contained integrated townships in the city’s outskirts, driven by big infrastructure plans and the desire for amenities. This trend is especially strong in places like Devanahalli, Nelamangala, and Hoskote close to Bengaluru’s urban center yet offering affordability and space.
Why This Shift?
1. Flexibility Over Fixed Housing
Plotted developments let buyers create homes that fit their needs, unlike the fixed layouts of apartments. Companies like Prestige Group are meeting this demand with ₹42,120 crore worth of projects that feature both plotted layouts and integrated townships. The developer focuses on smart amenities within gated societies, attracting both mid-income and luxury buyers alike.
2. Rising Infrastructure Appeal
The Karnataka Government’s Greater Bengaluru Suburban Project (approved in January 2025) aims to ease city congestion by creating satellite townships with better road and rail links. Areas like the Aerospace Corridor (Devanahalli–Doddaballapur) and Hoskote-Malur Belt will see improved infrastructure, making them prime spots for plotted investments.
3. Self-Sufficient Ecosystems
Integrated townships offer a community lifestyle with schools, hospitals, and recreational areas all in a gated setting. Brigade Group calls these projects “urban ecosystems” that tackle modern urban living issues. Developments in Sarjapur Attibele and Tumkur Road show this trend.
Key Growth Corridors to Watch
| Location | Growth Drivers | Price Outlook |
|---|---|---|
| Devanahalli | Aerospace investments, airport proximity | 15–20% rise in 3–5 years |
| Sarjapur–Attibele | IT/ITeS expansion, affordable entry points | Steady capital appreciation |
| Nelamangala | Highway connectivity to Mumbai/Pune | Infrastructure-driven surge |
| Hoskote–Malur | Industrial development and logistics hubs | Emerging residential hotspot |
Developer Initiatives
Key players are adapting to this trend:
- Prestige Group: Launching 25 projects across India, including plotted layouts in Bangalore’s outskirts.
- Brigade Group: Focusing on mixed-use development with amenities like commercial, residential, and healthcare complexes.
Future Trends
Real estate experts foresee price surges of 15–20% in peripheral zones, especially where infrastructure projects meet industrial/warehouse demand. Investors should focus on due diligence and medium-term horizons for best returns.
“Peripheral areas will see increased commercial activity post-infrastructure development, making them natural expansion zones for urban living,” says Vimal Nadar from Colliers India.
Conclusion
The fringes of Bangalore are reshaping real estate priorities. Buyers and investors must stay ahead of these growth corridors to capitalize on the changing market landscape.
