Is Bengaluru on its path to Mumbai? High net worth people, wealthy NRIs, and
C-suite executives are the primary buyers of luxury homes valued at ₹30 crore
or more.
While Mumbai is renowned
with India's ultra-luxury property category, high-end residential flats have
recently found increased demand in Bengaluru. The city's ultra-luxury housing
market is growing due to increased expectations and strong economic growth, with
some mansions selling for more to ₹50 crore.
Ajit Isaac, chairman and
managing director of Bengaluru-based company Quess Corp, purchased a 10,000 sq
ft property worth ₹67.5 crore in Koramangala area, the IT capital's billionaire
street, making it the most expensive real estate deal in the city, according to
brokers familiar with the development.
The luxury home market,
ranging from ₹5 crore to ₹60 crore, is a niche and slow-moving sector with
limited inventory each year. This segment's key buyers include high and
ultra-high net worth individuals, wealthy non-resident Indians, C-suite
executives, promoters, and entrepreneurs.
Here are some of the top
property deals reported in Bengaluru this year (1). A luxurious apartment in
Kingfisher Towers is presently listed for sale at 50 crore.

extension of UB City, is home to various business titans and executives in the
IT Capital, including Biocon's Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, Sachin Bansal of Flipkart,

The Billionaires' Tower,
which spans 4.5 acres of land, is a 34-story luxury residential quarter with
roughly 81 units (4 BHK) starting at 8,000 square feet in three buildings. The
upper two storeys have a beautiful apartment.
Ajit Isaac, founder and
chairman of employment company Quess Corp, purchased a 10,000 square foot site
in Bengaluru for ₹67.5 crore, making it the city's most expensive land

in the upmarket Koramangala 3rd Block will be developed into a residential
property. The plot was sold to Isaac by Arvind and Geeta Reddy.

Shetty, and politician Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
