2. Sections of BTM Layout:

This section, as well as the interior roads surrounding Silk Board provides some scope for development. The conversion of the Panyam Cement Factory brought in 24 acres of land for development. Several software offices opened their doors here in the recent past and this consequently led to a residential boom.

These sectors and everything in their radius do offer a certain level of potential for real estate development. Old industrial units spread over vast tracts of land are now being converted and there is a sudden availability of a good amount of a land in this strategically located area. Both residential and commercial development has immense potential here.

There is no denying the popularity of the Electronics City belt. It is among the areas that heralded the IT boom in the city. In terms of real estate development, the Chadapur-Anekal-Attibele stretches are seeing a spurt in housing communities in the affordable mid-range. Recent newspaper reports talk of 4-5 lakh jobs being generated in the IT sector and Bangalore’s Electronic City will be a growth hub. This will mean a huge impetus in commercial real estate demand as well as residential. Several new projects are coming up on Hosa Road (Jail Road) with brands like Sobha, Prestige, Godrej and GM Infinity all jumping into the fray with new apartment projects in the last 6 months.
