Brigade Group was founded in 1986 by M.R. Jaishankar with a vision to transform India's real estate landscape, gradually expanding from small-scale projects to large-scale residential, commercial, and hospitality developments. The company has today delivered 280-plus projects covering approximately 86 million sq ft across multiple cities in India. Over nearly four decades, Brigade Group has evolved from a single-building developer into a diversified public entity listed on both the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange, with a portfolio spanning apartments, villas, integrated townships, office spaces, retail outlets, industrial parks, hotels, and educational institutions across major South Indian cities.
Gunjur represents one of Brigade Group's most deliberate and scaled bets in East Bengaluru. In April 2026, Brigade Group announced the signing of a Joint Development Agreement (JDA) for an 8.63-acre land parcel in Gunjur — a transaction that serves as the final catalyst for a sprawling 39-acre integrated township along the Whitefield–Sarjapur corridor, carrying an estimated Gross Development Value of approximately ₹7,200 crore.
The project reflects a sophisticated land assembly strategy, combining outright purchases with joint development agreements to secure the 39-acre footprint — with the finalisation of the latest 8.63-acre JDA giving the group the necessary scale to proceed with its master-planned vision.
Pavitra Shankar, Managing Director of Brigade Enterprises, described the development as an expression of the group's commitment "to quality, scale, and long-term livability," noting that the township will incorporate multi-generational residential options — including senior living spaces — backed by thoughtfully designed amenities and convenience infrastructure, to establish "a cohesive, future-ready residential ecosystem."
The residential component of Brigade Gunjur Residential Township is planned as part of this 39-acre integrated community, designed for families who want a well-connected home within reach of key IT hubs, schools, hospitals, and daily conveniences. The project will offer 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments with modern layouts.
The Gunjur township is not Brigade's first large-scale residential commitment to East Bengaluru. The company has previously delivered major residential projects in the city, including Brigade Eternia — 1,124 units at a project cost of ₹2,700 crore in Yelahanka — and a luxury housing project covering 2.5 million sq ft with a project cost of ₹2,500 crore in East Bengaluru. Brigade Gateway, launched in 2004, became Bengaluru's first integrated lifestyle enclave, featuring residential apartments, office spaces, a mall, and a luxury hotel. These milestones establish the scale of township thinking that Brigade has historically brought to Bengaluru, and the Gunjur project continues that trajectory.
Brigade has also inaugurated Brigade Tech Gardens, a USGBC Platinum-certified SEZ development, demonstrating how the group's standards for sustainability and institutional-grade construction translate across asset classes — a characteristic that prospective residential buyers in Gunjur can draw on when evaluating construction quality expectations.
Once a quiet suburb on the eastern fringes of Bengaluru, Gunjur has rapidly transformed into a high-growth real estate hotspot: according to PropEquity, 9,031 housing units were launched and 7,635 units were sold in Gunjur between Q1 2022 and Q2 2025. The micro-market is fuelled by its strategic location near major IT corridors like Whitefield and Brookfield, backed by large-scale infrastructure development, and is witnessing renewed demand from tech professionals.
Housing prices in Gunjur have risen from ₹4,800 per sq ft in 2020 to ₹11,850 per sq ft in 2024 — a 146% increase, one of the steepest residential price surges recorded in Bengaluru over this period. Housing sales in the area grew by 10% year-on-year in 2024, reaching 2,828 units.
Gunjur sits in close proximity to Bengaluru's most dynamic tech corridors — Whitefield, Brookefield, and Bellandur — and enjoys access to Sarjapur Road, Outer Ring Road, and Electronic City, giving it an enviable position on the residential map. Buyers have been especially drawn to homes in the ₹1–2 crore price range, with 3 BHK apartments being the most preferred configuration.
Several infrastructure projects are converging around Gunjur that directly support Brigade's investment thesis here:
Gunjur is within reach of reputed institutions such as The International School Bangalore and Basil Woods International, top healthcare providers like Manipal Hospital, and leisure options including Nexus Whitefield Mall. Its naturally green surroundings with lakes and open spaces also enhance its appeal among families seeking quality living. For Brigade's target demographic — multi-generational families and tech-sector professionals — this combination of institutional schooling, hospital access, and green open space aligns directly with the community-living proposition that the developer has consistently built into its township products across Bengaluru.
By utilising a combination of outright purchases and JDAs, Brigade is maintaining a capital-efficient strategy while building a robust pipeline of multi-generational housing options. For a buyer, this matters because it reflects a developer who has made a long-term, financially structured commitment to Gunjur — not a single-tower opportunistic entry. With a projected gross development value of approximately ₹7,200 crore, the project is set to become one of the most significant residential landmarks in the city's eastern growth belt.
As Pavitra Shankar noted, "Whitefield–Sarjapur Road continues to be one of Bengaluru's most compelling micro markets and residential growth corridors, driven by infrastructure expansion, connectivity, and strong employment catchments." That assessment, from the developer's own Managing Director, frames the Gunjur township not as an isolated launch but as an anchor project for Brigade's longer-term residential presence in East Bengaluru.
