Surrounding Developments & Future prospects

Efficient connectivity and well-developed social infrastructure are the two major factors that have led to the emergence of Whitefield as a self-sufficient neighborhood. Whitefield features high on occupiers lists with commercial development on a continuing upswing, multiple residential options, and well-developed social infrastructure.

Once a small village, Whitefield has now developed into a major IT centre and a vibrant residential market. Its strategic location, a variety of residential options, and well-maintained social and civic infrastructure, has led to increasing demand for residential properties.

Demand For IT Space

Whitefield in Bangalore is one of the largest technology clusters in South Asia. The area follows a ‘walk to work’ lifestyle, with EPIP (Export Promotion Industrial Park) & ITP-B (International Tech Park – Bangalore) in the vicinity. The ITPB was the first office space set-up in Whitefield in 1998. Thereafter many leading companies have set up their base in the Whitefield.

As per locality review, Whitefield with approx 30 percent (29 million sqft) of the city’s non-captive operational office space features high on occupiers’ charts. Under-construction non-captive office space is around 1.67 million sq.ft. while captive office space is around 4.10 million sq.ft. Planned non-captive office space is around 20.63 million sq.ft. while captive space is around 3.60 million sq.ft.

Connectivity

As per locality review, Whitefield enjoys good connectivity to several parts of Bengaluru via the OMR (Old Madras Road) and ORR (Outer Ring Road). The distance from new international airport is about 45 kilometers. The much anticipated Namma Metro Rail Project by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) will soon connect Whitefield with other locations in the city. This metro line will cover 13 stations between Byappanahalli and Whitefield and many more route extensions are currently under construction. Once operation, this line is expected to benefit both residential and IT belts in Whitefield.
