What is Devanahalli?

Devanahalli is a taluk headquarters in Bangalore district, sitting on NH-44 roughly 35 to 40 km from Bengaluru city centre. Historically, it was known for the 17th-century Devanahalli Fort — the supposed birthplace of Tipu Sultan — and for a quiet agricultural economy that defined the area for centuries. That quiet is long gone. Over the past two decades, Devanahalli has undergone one of the most dramatic urban transformations in Karnataka, driven almost entirely by a single catalyst: Kempegowda International Airport.

Kempegowda International Airport is not near Devanahalli. It is in Devanahalli. The airport campus sits within the taluk’s administrative limits, making this the only taluk headquarters in India that contains one of the country’s major international airports within its own boundary. India’s fastest-growing major airport in terms of passenger throughput, KIA has transformed Devanahalli from a sleepy district town into the economic nerve centre of North Bengaluru. Infrastructure that would have taken a generation to arrive elsewhere has come to Devanahalli in under 15 years: wide highways, organised land use, commercial hubs, and an expanding residential ecosystem. The airport is not a future promise here — it is the present reality.

Six kilometres from Milan at Godrej MSR City sits the KIADB Aerospace SEZ — the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board’s aerospace and manufacturing special economic zone. Aerospace companies, precision manufacturing units, and IT-SEZ tenants have anchored employment in this corridor at a scale that has no parallel in any other outer-Bengaluru location. That employment base is what drives sustained residential demand in Devanahalli: professionals who work in the SEZ or at the airport need housing close to both, and the supply of quality residential townships has historically lagged that demand. Milan is one of the projects positioned to meet it.

Planning in Devanahalli is overseen not by BBMP or BDA but by BIAAPA — the Bangalore Airport Area Planning Authority. BIAAPA was established specifically to manage planned development in the airport corridor, which means zoning decisions, road networks, and land-use designations in this area follow an organised master plan rather than the ad-hoc urbanisation that has characterised many inner Bengaluru corridors. That distinction shows up in the quality of roads, the setback compliance on buildings, and the overall legibility of the urban fabric around Godrej MSR City. Real estate buyers who understand regulatory geography recognise this as a material advantage.

Beyond the airport and the SEZ, Devanahalli’s growth is underpinned by several longer-horizon infrastructure programmes. The planned Namma Metro Blue Line extension toward Kempegowda International Airport will eventually add a rail connection to the corridor. The Satellite Town Ring Road, which will link Devanahalli to other satellite towns around Bengaluru, is another piece of the connectivity picture. These are not speculative future projections — they are funded infrastructure programmes that will deliver further appreciation on top of what the airport and SEZ have already created.

Godrej MSR City — The Township Context

Godrej MSR City is the name of the integrated residential township that M S Ramaiah Ventures LLP has developed in joint venture with Godrej Properties Ltd and Godrej Projects Development Ltd across three phases in Devanahalli. The combined footprint spans roughly 35.7 acres and approximately 3,273 units. Phase 1, named Barca, covers 17.25 acres and 1,961 apartments — it is RERA-registered and actively under construction. Phase 2, Barca II, covers 8.48 acres and 602 apartments — also RERA-registered and under construction. The two existing phases are the trust signal that no marketing brochure can manufacture: active construction on a live registered project is the clearest proof of developer credibility available.

Milan is Phase 3 of this township. It occupies 10 acres within Shettigere, Akalenahalli–Mallenahalli Village, Bangalore – 562110, and comprises approximately 710 apartments across 10 towers split into two blocks: B09 with five towers labelled A through E, and B10 with five towers labelled A through E. Each tower is designed with 2 basement levels and 15 residential floors, reaching a height of about 52.2 metres. Apartments are available in three configurations — the 1,250-square-foot 2 BHK from ₹1.62 Cr, the 1,610-square-foot 3 BHK with two bathrooms from ₹2.17 Cr, and the 1,950-square-foot 3 BHK with three bathrooms from ₹2.73 Cr. The price rate works out to ₹13,000 to ₹14,000 per square foot.

Milan is pre-RERA at this stage. BIAAPA registration is expected ahead of the planned September 2026 launch. The proposed launch date is 10 September 2026, with projected possession on 10 March 2032. If you would like to register your interest before launch, use the enquiry form on this page. There is no obligation, and no booking is required — it simply ensures you receive information as the project moves toward its RERA filing.
