Godrej Properties Limited (GPL), one of India’s leading real estate developers, has acquired a prime 26-acre land parcel near Sarjapur Road in South Bengaluru. The company plans to develop a premium residential project on the site, with an estimated revenue potential of Rs 1,100 million.

The acquisition strengthens GPL’s presence in the Sarjapur corridor—one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing residential hubs.

Commenting on the acquisition, Gaurav Pandey, MD & CEO, Godrej Properties, said, “Sarjapur Road stands out as a key growth hub in Bengaluru’s evolving urban fabric. The success of our recent projects highlights the trust customers place in our brand. We remain committed to delivering thoughtfully designed, high-quality developments that create enduring value for all stakeholders.”
