How Infrastructure Upgrades Are Transforming Shettigere's Real Estate Potential
Shettigere in North Bangalore is no longer just a quiet village on the city's edge. With new roads, metro lines, and large township projects, it's becoming one of the fastest-growing places to buy or rent a home. The big change started after Kempegowda International Airport opened nearby. Now, with new job hubs and better transport, areas like Godrej MSR City are drawing attention from both homebuyers and investors.
Here's a simple look at how Shettigere is changing and why it matters.
A few years ago, Shettigere was mostly farmland and open space. It wasn't seen as a place to live or invest. That changed when the airport opened, and the government began focusing on making North Bangalore a major development area.
Since then, Shettigere has become part of a bigger plan to improve roads, metro lines, and jobs in the area. It now offers a mix of peaceful living and good city access—something many people are looking for today.
Kempegowda International Airport is just 15 minutes away.
The new Terminal 2 is now fully working and can handle up to 80 million passengers each year.
There are future plans for Terminal 3 too, which will handle even more people.
This growth is turning the airport area into a mini-city, with hotels, offices, repair centers, and logistics companies. This means more jobs nearby, and more people looking for homes close to work.
A new Metro line from KR Puram to the airport is under construction.
It should be ready by mid-2026.
Doddajala station, just 6 km from Godrej MSR City, will give residents a fast and easy way to reach many parts of Bangalore.
This Metro line will cut travel time and reduce the need for private vehicles. It's a big plus for working professionals.
This is a large ring road that connects towns outside Bangalore.
Parts of it, like the Doddaballapur-Hoskote section, are already open.
It helps avoid city traffic and makes it easier to move between job and residential zones.
Though still in progress, this road will connect highways across the city's outer limits.
Once ready, it will offer another route from Shettigere to other parts of Bangalore.
A fast train line between KSR Bengaluru station and Devanahalli is also coming soon.
It will be useful for officegoers who don't want to drive every day.
Ongoing road widening and improvement work is making the drive smoother.
Plans for an Eastern Connectivity Tunnel could further reduce traffic near Hebbal, making airport access even better from other parts of the city.
This special zone has companies like Wipro Aerospace, Boeing, and HAL. They need skilled workers, and those workers need homes. Many prefer to live close to work, in peaceful areas like Shettigere.
Although growth has been slow, there is renewed interest. As companies move in, they will create more demand for housing in nearby areas.
This massive project is almost ready and expected to bring thousands of jobs—from engineers to factory workers. This will increase demand for affordable homes and rentals close to the plant.
With better roads and airport access, many logistics and e-commerce companies are setting up warehouses here. This brings in a range of job seekers, which also drives up demand for rental homes.
Shettigere's prices have gone up steadily over the last few years.
Land Rates (2025): ₹4,500 to ₹12,000 per sq. ft.
Apartments: ₹7,000 to ₹10,000 per sq. ft.
Premium projects like Godrej MSR City are priced slightly higher, around ₹10,000–₹10,500 per sq. ft.
Experts believe prices will continue to rise—about 8–12% every year. By 2030, many expect a 40–60% increase in total value.
2BHK units: ₹18,000 to ₹25,000/month
3BHK units: ₹28,000 to ₹35,000+/month
Rental Yield: Around 3.5% to 5%
More people are moving in for work, especially those in airport jobs, logistics, and aerospace companies. With better transport options like the metro and suburban rail, rental demand is expected to stay strong.
End-Users: Families who want space, fresh air, and good schools nearby.
Investors: Buying early to get better returns as prices rise.
NRIs: Many are choosing branded homes in planned communities like Godrej MSR City.
Top builders have entered Shettigere. Some key projects:
62-acre township
Parks, clubhouse, co-working areas
Vastu-aligned 2 & 3BHK apartments
24/7 gated security and smart utilities
This project is setting a new standard for quality and design in Shettigere. It shows how builders now see this area as a serious residential market.
Hospitals: Major ones are in Yelahanka and Devanahalli. More clinics and facilities are planned within new townships.
Schools & Colleges: Many options nearby, including Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology.
Shopping & Fun: Right now, people go to places like RMZ Galleria. In the future, retail hubs will come up inside new projects and Airport City.
Clean Air & Open Space: Shettigere has less traffic and more greenery than crowded parts of Bangalore.
