03 Feb 2025 CW Team

Equinox India Developments Limited has announced the remarkable success of Embassy Verde, its premium residential project within Embassy Springs, one of North Bengaluru’s largest townships. In just five days since its pre-launch, Embassy Verde has garnered an overwhelming response, securing pre-sales bookings worth Rs 6.19 billion and selling over 700 units, covering a total saleable area of 0.7 million sq ft. Following the merger, this project is now part of the NAM Estates portfolio under Equinox India. Speaking on the milestone, Jitendra Virwani, Chairman of Equinox India, stated, “The success of Embassy Verde reaffirms the strong demand for high-quality residential developments in Bengaluru. Along with the sellout of Embassy East Avenue in Whitefield, this underscores our commitment to re-establish Embassy as a leading premium residential developer.

Based on this response, we plan to launch the third tower of Embassy Verde in March 2025. With the housing market on a strong trajectory, we are excited to build on this momentum further with the roll-out of more premium residential projects.”

Embassy Springs, located in North Bengaluru, is a 15-minute drive from Kempegowda International Airport, offering seamless connectivity to major employment hubs. Spanning 288 acres, the township features 45+ acres of green spaces, an 18-kilometre internal road network, and over 100 world-class amenities. It is designed as a self-sustained ecosystem, complete with a school, a senior living community, and lifestyle-enhancing facilities, setting a new benchmark for integrated urban living. With Phase 1 of Embassy Verde selling out at an unprecedented pace, Equinox India is set to capitalise on this momentum with further premium residential launches, reaffirming its position as a leader in Bengaluru’s real estate market.
