Brigade Group was founded by M R Jaishankar in 1986, starting as what its own records describe as a five-person team with ambitions well beyond a single building. The group has since delivered 280+ projects covering approximately 86 million sq ft across multiple cities in India, including Bangalore, Chennai, and Hyderabad. Founded in 1986, Brigade Group maintains a network of offices across South India, an office in Dubai, and representation in the USA. That breadth matters when evaluating a developer's entry into any new micro-market — and Brigade's arrival in Bhattarahalli, through Brigade Lakecrest, is a considered one, not an opportunistic land grab.
Since its founding, Brigade has transformed the skyline of cities across South India — Bengaluru, Mysuru, Mangaluru, Chikmagalur, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Kochi — with developments spanning the Residential, Commercial, Retail, Hospitality, and Education sectors. Within Bangalore specifically, Brigade has built at scale across the northern, southern, and eastern corridors: Brigade Avalon sits in Whitefield, BCV Kino is part of the 135-acre Brigade Orchards township in Devanahalli, and Brigade Eternia occupies the Yelahanka neighbourhood. Bhattarahalli in KR Puram now joins that map.
Brigade Lakecrest is located on Old Madras Road near Bhattarahalli Lake and features 604 apartments designed with 100% Vastu compliance and built using Mivan construction technology. The project places only 4 towers on a 6.9-acre land parcel, providing residents with ample open space, better ventilation, and a more spacious living experience. The development is designed with over 80% open greenery.
The configuration range is deliberately wide. Units span Studio (482–493 sq ft), 1BHK (775–814 sq ft), 2BHK (1,326–1,524 sq ft), 2.5BHK (1,598 sq ft), 3BHK (1,640–1,927 sq ft), and 3.5BHK (2,153–2,179 sq ft), with RERA possession set for March 2030. This breadth — from compact studios to large 3.5BHK homes — reflects Brigade's standard approach of addressing multiple buyer profiles within a single gated community.
The project is built directly adjacent to the calm Bhattarahalli Lake, ensuring that a significant number of apartments enjoy permanent, unobstructed panoramic views of the water body. Residents will have access to resort-style amenities including an expansive clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness centre, sports courts, jogging trails, landscaped gardens, and wellness areas. The clubhouse spans 20,000 sq ft, and the community also includes dedicated pet parks and open gardens.
Brigade's site selection in Bhattarahalli is not accidental. The locality sits at a functional crossroads in East Bangalore. The project enjoys connectivity to major roads like KR Puram–Hoskote Road, NH 75, and SH 104, and Bhattarahalli itself serves as a key junction between Old Madras Road and Kithaganur Road. This location offers proximity to leading IT hubs such as Bagmane Tech Park, RMZ Infinity, and ITPL.
KR Puram Railway Station is 16 minutes from Brigade Lakecrest, and connectivity is also available via the KR Puram metro station. For residents who travel further afield, quick access to IT parks, malls, schools, and the international airport positions the project within a well-serviced travel radius. Budigere Cross is roughly 5.1 km from the site, and Decathlon — a common proxy for a locality's social infrastructure maturity — is 4.3 km away.
The area also benefits from genuine green cover. Bhattarahalli contains pockets of greenery including the Segehalli Lake Park and Bhattarahalli Udayananavana. Brigade's decision to front the project directly onto Bhattarahalli Lake amplifies a natural asset that cannot be replicated by any internal amenity — the lake view from upper floors is permanent by geography, not design.
The average weighted price of apartments in Bhattarahalli currently stands at approximately ₹10,150 per sq ft, with prices having moved 35.3% in the last one year alone. The broader KR Puram market corroborates this momentum: flat rates in KR Puram, Bangalore changed by 30.8% in the last year, 67.5% in the last three years, 89.1% in the last five years, and 124.7% in the last ten years.
Flat prices in KR Puram range from Rs 6,600 to Rs 12,150 per sq ft, confirming that Brigade Lakecrest's entry point — starting from approximately Rs 59–60 lakh — sits within a market where both end-use and investment demand are active. Demand for lakeside apartments in well-connected zones like Old Madras Road and KR Puram is at a documented high, a dynamic that directly benefits a project with genuine lake frontage.
Brigade's entry into this micro-market carries its own signal: the group typically deploys at scale, with technical construction methods (Mivan aluminium formwork in this case) that are more common in high-volume residential programmes than in opportunistic small-site developments. That construction method, used here at Brigade Lakecrest, delivers faster cycle times and tighter dimensional tolerances across all 604 units — which is relevant to buyers tracking delivery timelines.
Brigade Regency, completed in 1996, was Bangalore's first CRISIL-rated property. The first mixed-use community in Bangalore was Brigade Millennium, delivered in 2002. Brigade went public in 2007 following a successful IPO. In 2011, the group launched Brigade Orchards, a 135-acre smart township. More recently, Brigade launched Brigade Citrine, pioneering India's first Net-Zero Carbon standard for a residential real estate project. These are not incremental milestones — they reflect a developer that has consistently set benchmarks rather than followed them.
For a buyer evaluating Brigade Lakecrest in Bhattarahalli, the group's depth of experience across residential segments — from compact urban apartments to integrated townships — means the project is being executed by a team that has navigated every phase of the Bangalore market cycle since the city's early IT-era growth in the late 1980s and 1990s. Brigade Group has completed over 275 projects across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and education spaces.
Bhattarahalli has historically been a secondary address in KR Puram's residential hierarchy — functional and affordable, but short on branded supply. Brigade Lakecrest changes that supply equation. As a newly launched high-rise residential project off Old Madras Road in East Bengaluru, it introduces a tier of specification — Mivan construction, a 20,000 sq ft clubhouse, 45+ amenities, basement parking, and direct lake adjacency — that the micro-market has not previously seen from a group with Brigade's delivery history. For buyers who want east Bangalore connectivity without accepting west Whitefield pricing, and who want a developer with a 38-year Bangalore track record, this combination is genuinely new to the Bhattarahalli address.
