Company History & Leadership
Brigade Group is the trading name of Brigade Enterprises Limited, founded in 1986 by M.R. Jaishankar and headquartered in Bengaluru. What began as a Bengaluru apartment developer has, over nearly four decades, grown into a publicly listed (BSE/NSE) property group operating across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality and education — one of the few Indian developers to build genuine scale in all five verticals. That diversification is the reason Brigade can deliver a township that includes a hotel, hospital, mall, offices and school. The leadership has steered Brigade through multiple market cycles while maintaining its delivery record — a stability that matters when committing to a multi-year construction horizon.
Track Record & Scale
The numbers are the foundation of Brigade's credibility, and the zero-abandonment record across RERA-registered launches is the single most reassuring metric for a pre-launch buyer.

Cross-Vertical Portfolio & Why It Matters Here
Brigade has delivered a deep residential portfolio across Bengaluru and South India, from affordable-premium to luxury. On the Old Madras Road corridor itself, the track record stacks both ways — already delivered and currently under construction. Brigade Exotica (10-acre, 454-unit twin-tower luxury 3, 4 & 5 BHK community) and Brigade Golden Triangle (10-acre, 672-unit ready-to-move community with an integrated office and retail block near Whitefield Main Road) are both handed-over communities buyers can visit today. Alongside them, Brigade Lakecrest at Bhattarahalli (5.37 acres, 604 apartments registered with Karnataka RERA in 2025, due 2030) and Brigade Citrine at Budigere Cross (4.2-acre, 420-unit India-first net-zero apartments) are currently under construction on the same corridor. Four projects in four formats — ready luxury, ready mixed-use, in-build standalone, and in-build sustainability flagship — map a direct, proven OMR delivery footprint that's hard to fault.
- Commercial: developed and operates World Trade Center Bangalore and an extensive Grade-A office portfolio — the basis for the township's office and convention components.
- Retail: runs the Orion chain of shopping malls — the operating experience the township's mall requires.
- Hospitality: operates properties under the Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Grand Mercure flags — so the 400-key hotel is built and run by a group that already operates hotels at scale.
- Education: operates schools under the Brigade School banner — directly relevant to the on-campus K-12 block.
- Facilities management: property and facilities arms maintain developments long after handover — critical for a township whose value depends on sustained upkeep.
When you buy into Brigade Old Madras Road, the quality of daily life depends not just on the apartment but on the hotel, hospital, mall, school and offices — and each is a business Brigade already runs at scale elsewhere. That is the deepest reason to have confidence in the township. To discuss the project, request the cost sheet, or arrange a site visit, use the contact page.

Brigade Group — Residential Portfolio & Bengaluru Pipeline
Brigade Group, the developer of Brigade Old Madras Road, has delivered a deep residential portfolio across Bengaluru and South India, spanning affordable-premium to luxury. Recognisable Brigade residential addresses across the city include Brigade Cornerstone Utopia, Brigade El Dorado, Brigade Meadows, Brigade Northridge and Brigade Belvedere at Budigere Cross, alongside dozens of mid-and-large-scale communities that have shaped Bengaluru's residential supply over the past three decades. This breadth means Brigade understands the Bengaluru buyer intimately — first-home, upgrade and luxury segments are all live in the company's pipeline at any given time, and the lessons from one segment routinely inform the next.
Beyond Brigade Old Madras Road, the group maintains an active Bengaluru pipeline across the east (Budigere Cross, Whitefield arc), north (Yelahanka, Devanahalli) and other corridors, spanning apartments, townships and plotted and commercial developments. This continuous pipeline reflects Brigade's scale and its ongoing investment in Bengaluru's growth corridors. For a pre-launch buyer, the size and depth of that pipeline is an additional reassurance — the developer is unambiguously in build-and-deliver mode across the city, not running down a single project before exiting the market.
Brigade Group — Sustainability, Construction Quality & After-Sales
Brigade has progressively embedded sustainability into its developments — green-building practices, water recycling and rainwater harvesting, energy-efficient design, and solar provisioning across recent projects. For a township like Brigade Old Madras Road, these capabilities scale up into genuine self-sufficiency: on-site sewage treatment with water reuse, city-scale rainwater harvesting, and energy-efficient common-area systems that lower running costs for residents. Brigade Citrine, the developer's India-first net-zero apartments at Budigere Cross, demonstrates how far the sustainability programme has matured beyond compliance and into product differentiation.
On construction quality, Brigade's reputation rests on consistent finishing standards, branded fittings and structural reliability across decades of delivery — the kind of consistency that comes from an established developer with standardised specifications and long-term contractor relationships rather than a one-off builder. The same specification sheet is applied, with tower-and-floor variations, across each premium-tier launch, so the buyer at Brigade Old Madras Road inherits the build quality already demonstrated at the developer's earlier corridor launches and ready-to-move communities.
A frequently overlooked dimension of developer choice is what happens after handover, and this is especially critical for Brigade Old Madras Road because the township's value depends on the sustained upkeep of shared infrastructure — the hospital, mall, school, clubhouse and common utilities. Brigade operates property and facilities management arms that maintain its developments long after sale, ensuring lifts, security, landscape, water and power systems keep running to standard. For a 5,600-home township with complex non-residential blocks, professional ongoing management is not a luxury but a necessity, and Brigade's in-house capability here is a meaningful advantage over developers who hand maintenance to third parties and move on.
Brigade Group — A Developer Built for Townships
Pulling the threads together explains why Brigade Old Madras Road is a credible bet on a developer rather than a speculative one. Very few Indian developers are genuinely equipped to build and run an integrated township, because it demands competence across five distinct businesses — residential, offices, retail, hospitality and education — plus the financial strength to fund it and the facilities capability to maintain it. Brigade is one of the rare developers that has built real scale in every one of those businesses. World Trade Center Bangalore (offices), the Orion malls (retail), the Sheraton and Holiday Inn properties (hospitality), Brigade School (education) and 80M+ sqft of residential are not unrelated ventures — for a township, they are exactly the operating capabilities required.
It is worth making the connection between Brigade's portfolio breadth and your specific purchase explicit, because it is easy to read a developer's diversification as corporate trivia rather than buyer-relevant fact. When you buy into Brigade Old Madras Road, the quality of your everyday experience depends not just on the apartment but on the hotel, the hospital, the mall, the school and the offices — and each of those is a business Brigade already runs at scale elsewhere. In a township, the developer is effectively promising to be your landlord, your facilities manager, and the operator of your neighbourhood's institutions for years. Brigade's track record across exactly these businesses is what makes that promise credible.
Within the Bengaluru market, Brigade sits firmly in the top tier of trusted developers, frequently named alongside the city's other established names in buyer-preference and brand-trust rankings. That standing has been earned through delivery rather than marketing — the zero-abandonment record, the consistent finishing standards, and the longevity of nearly four decades through multiple property cycles. For a pre-launch buyer at Brigade Old Madras Road, brand standing is not vanity; it is a proxy for the probability that the project completes on time, to spec, and holds its value in resale. On all of these, Brigade's reputation is a tailwind.

A township demands competence across residential, offices, retail, hospitality and education. Brigade already operates every one - World Trade Center Bangalore (offices), the Orion malls (retail), Sheraton, Holiday Inn and Grand Mercure properties (hospitality), and Brigade School (education) - so it can build and run each block the township needs in-house.
Yes - already-delivered and currently-under-construction. Brigade Exotica (454-unit luxury twin-tower community, ready-to-occupy) and Brigade Golden Triangle (672-unit ready-to-move community with offices and retail near Whitefield Main Road) are handed-over communities on the corridor. Brigade Lakecrest at Bhattarahalli (604 apartments, RERA-registered 2025, due 2030) and Brigade Citrine at Budigere Cross (420-unit India-first net-zero apartments) are currently under construction on the same spine.

As a listed company with FY25 revenue of roughly Rs 5,800 crore and consistent quarterly growth, Brigade has the balance-sheet strength to fund a Rs 3,728-crore township through its multi-year build without the financing fragility that has stalled smaller developers' large projects.
