Airport Corridor Advantage: How the North of Bangalore Is Growing Fast
The Airport Corridor in North Bangalore is quickly turning into one of the city's most important growth areas. This region stretches from Hebbal to Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) and covers places like Shettigere, Devanahalli, Yelahanka, and Thanisandra. These areas are getting a lot of attention because of major infrastructure projects, new industries, and strong housing demand.
A project like Godrej MSR City in Shettigere is a perfect example of how developers are building townships in the right places at the right time.
The Airport Corridor isn't just a stretch of land. It's a hub where roads, metro lines, industries, and homes are growing together. This part of Bangalore is close to the airport, which makes it attractive for people who travel often, work in aviation, or need good connectivity to other cities.
In the last few years:
Land prices in Devanahalli and Shettigere have gone up by 150%–175%
Rental prices have increased by 30% in 2024–2025
New homes, gated communities, and offices are coming up fast
Devanahalli is now called the "Poster Boy of North Bangalore" because of all the things happening there. Just nearby, Shettigere is also rising fast. It's just 10–15 minutes from the airport.
