Locality Review – Hennur

Puravankara Palm Beach is located off Hennur Road, Bangalore and enjoys good connectivity to all major landmarks located in and around the city.

Over the last 9-10 years, Hennur Road has rapidly developed into a leading micro-market in the North Bangalore. Running parallel to Bellary Road, it began witnessing development with connectivity through the Outer Ring Road (ORR), taking off when Bellary Road was upgraded to support the relocation of the airport.

Some of the points denoting to its prime location are:

• Due to the presence of large business parks in north, upcoming integrated development projects and the planned commercial development around the airport, Hennur Road is gaining popularity among buyers as a residential hot spot.

• Also, there is a plan to develop approx. 2 Million sq.ft. Office space between Hebbal, Bellary Road, Thanisandra and Hennur Road.

Infrastructure investment to drive growth in Hennur
