Propelled by infrastructure advancements, a booming tech sector, and rising demand for premium and luxury housing, Bangalore's residential real estate market is witnessing significant growth.

The city has experienced sustained progress, with a steady pipeline of new projects meeting vibrant buyer demand. However, rising property prices, fuelled by higher land costs, construction expenses, and regulatory hurdles, present significant challenges.

Developers are addressing these hurdles by focusing on high-end housing that combines sophistication with practicality, appealing to buyers increasingly drawn to future-ready homes. Additionally, emerging trends like co-living, student housing, and senior living communities are catering to the needs of diverse demographics.

Investment in Bangalore's residential sector is also growing, with private equity and international investors drawn to its long-term potential. Yield-based rental housing appeals to younger, mobile demographics, while the advancing REIT market offers structured opportunities, enhancing transparency and investor confidence.

This report draws on insights from Bangalore's Resi Market, the GRI Club India forum where leading real estate professionals, developers, and stakeholders came together to discuss current trends, investment strategies, and the challenges shaping the future of the city’s residential sector.
