Q: Everybody is telling that North Bangalore is good for investment purpose but I am planning to invest in Kanakapura road which is in South Bangalore. Will it be a good idea to invest in?
I completed agree with your Mr Varun, But the reason that Kanakapura is gaining popularity and can be a good choice of destination for investing in real estate because of the affordable property prices and it enjoys excellent connectivity.
Karnakapura is blessed with water sources. The locality is close to Cauvery River and presence of lakes in the surrounding areas ensure continuous water supply.
The average capital value of a multi storey building vary between Rs 3,761-6,286 per sqft.
1) The Kanakapura Road will soon see major developments within its vicinity that is going to make it most appealing in the real estate sector. One of the prospective projects includes a Disneyland like theme park, spread out over 28 acres of land, driven by 4D technology called the Krishna Lila Park. It has an estimated cost of Rs 350 crore.
2) Phase 1 of the Metro, nearing its expected completion within a year’s time, is assured to reduce traffic and travel time for commuters along the Kanakapura Road. This will connect it to Hasaraghatta Main Road, Magadi Road, Peenya and Mysore Road, making a well-established network in the city.
3) The Peripheral Ring Road project that was proposed is to connect the areas in the outskirts with the areas in the city, reducing traffic and saving a considerable amount of time accordingly. Within the vicinity of the Kanakapura Road, this should serve to a huge asset in favour of vested interests.

Kanakapura Road has become active on the real estate radar, mainly in the residential real estate sector because of the infrastructural developments such as: the NICE road which has enhanced the connectivity to Electronic City, Bannerghatta Road and Mysore Road. Bangalore Phase I till Puttenahalli which is under construction is expected to be functional by mid of 2014
The price of apartment starts from Rs 25 lakhs on wards inclusive of car parking and exclusive of statutory expenses. The project is approved by BBMP and banks like Axis, HDFC, Bank of Baroda, LIC, SBI and Corporation. The expected possession date of the project is by 2014. It is a good project for investment and location is also good.
You can expect atleast 30 to 35 percent appreciation in 3 years and moreover the project is by one of the reputed builder's in the real estate industry so risk of investment is less.
Thank you so much guys for providing such a detailed information about the project from investment point of view. I am planning to visit the site this Sunday, if I like the project will be booking an apartment in the same
I am planning to buy a property in Kanakpura area, Bangalore. I heard that the HM constructions have launched their new project. Want to know more about the launched project.
Most of the projects coming up on Kanakapura Road are integrated townships, which attract senior citizens as well as the young working population. The main reason behind the realty growth in Kanakpura area is because of the connectivity and high rising apartments.
Kanakapura Road is one the prominent localities in Bangalore. The price per sq. ft. was Rs 3846 in Oct- Dec 2012 quarter that reached up to Rs 4395 with appreciation of 10 in the first quarter of 2013. In July- September quarter, 2012, Kanakapura Road have witnessed 12 percent rise in the rental values.
Now an acre of land in the area is running at Rs 9-10 crore which is expected to rise by 10% to 15% in the next five years
The road is a home to educational institutes like Delhi Public School, South, RV College of Engineering, RMS International School, Edify School, Jain International Residential School are some of the educational institution in this area. Hospitals like Prabha Eye Clinic and Research Center, EPMC’s women’s clinic & surgery, Sagar Clinic are there.
The Kanakapura road’s condition is deteriorating as well as the traffic gives the people in the area nightmares. Once a lush green area, Kanakapura has become a bustling commercial suburb after it became a part of the National Highway 209.
Kanakapura Road has great connectivity to Electronic City, Hosur and Sarjapur. Apart from these, the place also has a close proximity to Jayanagar and JP Nagar. BMTC bus services are there. In future, the connectivity will improve with Metro in place.
All I can say that the traffic volume on this road is less compared to the adjacent Mysore Road.
The place once known as a village, witness a sudden growth in the real estate with tall multi-storey apartments, and exclusive enclaves in the middle of narrow lanes. Kanakapura Road will be a better option and you can also expect future appreciation in this area as the area is surrounded by many educationally institutions and the connectivity is also very good. Kanakapura road has become a prime hub for real estate development since last 2-3 years. The residential real estate activity along Kanakapura Road is expected to rapidly expand with the arrival of Metro Rail network.
I heard that Iskcon, has acquired around 28 acre hillock for Rs 23 crores at a public auction Disneyland-like 4D technology driven Krishna Lila Park and will transform the tourist potential of Bangalore. The construction work on the theme park was expected to begin in mid-2012 and will get completed by 2016-17. The estimated cost is around Rs 350 crore. This will again impact the real estate market.
