East Bengaluru Emerges as Hotspot for Residential Growth

East Bengaluru leads the city's residential market with 57% of launches in early 2026, driven by demand from tech professionals and improved metro connectivity. Prime locations like Whitefield and Gunjur are seeing increased activity, with a focus on mid-to-luxury housing and promising long-term value appreciation.

East Bengaluru is currently the most dynamic area in the city’s residential market. This surge is backed by a significant number of new launches in areas such as Whitefield, Gunjur, and Budigere Cross, largely driven by consistent demand from technology professionals and enhanced metro connectivity.

According to a recent report by Cushman & Wakefield, the eastern corridor accounted for approximately 57% of Bengaluru's residential launches during the January-March quarter of 2026. The city witnessed the unveiling of 12,664 housing units in this timeframe, with launches growing steadily by 4% on both quarterly and annual bases.

Developers note that the prime office submarkets in East, Southeast, and North Bengaluru are experiencing growth in capital values. This trend is attributed to improving metro connectivity, office expansions, and bolstered social infrastructure. Industry leaders affirm East Bengaluru's appeal due to its proximity to employment hubs and the potential for long-term value appreciation.
