Similarly, rental values will also witness appreciation. The Information Technology Investment Region (ITIR) and Aerospace SEZ planned by the government will provide further impetus to north Bangalore with a growth horizon of 3-5 years”. He also added, “Sarajur Road-ORR also has great potential to emerge as an active rental market backed by the commercial (office) activity in this stretch of the ORR.

May 10th, 2013Improved infrastructure has transformed Bangalore East into a self-sufficient region.
May 8th, 2013Bangalore East once home to expansive British-style bungalows has now transformed into a self-sufficient region solely due to improved infrastructure. The cable-stayed bridge at K R Puram, the Marathahalli Bridge linking the east to the south and north via the Outer Ring Road (ORR), the widening of Varthur Road, and the over-bridge at Kadugodi have all served to push demand for residential options in the surrounding localities. The development of the ORR in the beginning of the past decade and the government’s promotion of an IT corridor between Electronic City in the south and Whitefield in the east helped the emergence of the ORR-Sarjapur Road stretch as the new IT hub.

Whitefield is expected to continue to yield considerable residential sales, thanks to its affordable prices, proximity to important workplace centres and the enhanced retail and social infrastructure. The development of ITPB in 1997 acted as a pivot for the emergence of this region as an IT/ITeS hub. Also, to facilitate the growth of the IT/ITeS industry in the State, the Government of Karnataka promoted EPIP (Export Promotion Industrial Park) in Whitefield.
