Cities of Focus: Bengaluru


An interesting fact about Bengaluru: It is currently ranked among the 25 most high-tech cities in the entire world.

There are many other such records which the city boasts, credited to its unique approach towards development. It’s interesting to note how the city once specializing in the production of silk & cotton, machine tools and telephone accessories has now transformed into a booming IT hub. The glorious history of the city coupled with its futuristic approach has been the key drivers for us to undertake real estate developments here. The best reason for us to establish our developments in the city was its glorious past and its futuristic approach.

Let’s see why this city is our top pick for real estate developments:

●        Hub for IT companies 
Bengaluru is dubbed as the ‘Silicon Valley of India.’ The city has a GDP of $110 billion and contributes to more than 35% of India’s IT exports. Big multi-national corporations have their headquarters situated in Bengaluru. All these factors have transformed Bengaluru into a hub for IT companies across the world. This growth in the IT sector has given rise to a strong demand in the real estate.

●        World's Most Dynamic City –
Bengaluru has emerged as the most dynamic city in JLL’s fourth annual City Momentum Index (CMI) of cities around the world. The groundbreaking achievement was determined based on the city’s economy and commercial real estate market. The abilities to embrace technological change, absorb rapid population growth and strengthen global connectivity lays down the foundation of this dynamic city.

●        Bengaluru Metro –
Bengaluru is a densely populated city. The newly launched Phase-1 of Namma has given an indication of what to anticipate from the metro network. With Phase - 2 in construction, a total length of 72 kilometers will be added to the current metro lines. It will create a more interconnected mode of transport to reach every corner of the city making commuting within the city a completely hassle free experience.

●        Features of a Smart City –
The Smart Cities Mission by the government of India is an initiative aimed towards urban development. According to the plan, Rs. 1,700 crores will be spent to improve infrastructure in the city. The establishment of Bengaluru as a smart city will create a modern commercial network.

These are some of the reasons as to why Bengaluru is one of the best cities in India. We at House of Hiranandani are developing three projects in Bengaluru.
