Brigade on Old Madras Road, Bangalore

Old Madras Road is one of the city's most historic arterial stretches of road and acts as a lifeline connecting the city to Tamil Nadu's capital, Chennai, and over the years has transformed dramatically into a buzzing residential and commercial zone. It functions as a key road that connects the Central Business District (CBD) to the main jobs and housing area in East Bangalore, running through neighbourhoods such as KR Puram, Baiyyappanahalli and Bhattarahalli on its way toward Whitefield and Hoskote.

The corridor has seen genuine momentum in the last few years. As of early 2026, apartment prices on Old Madras Road average between Rs 8,500 to 13,600 per sq. ft, and local property values have jumped by 31.3% in the past year, proving OMR is a strong and successful place to invest. Rental demand is healthy too, with investors drawn by a solid 3% to 5% yearly rental yield, thanks to the many IT workers and college students moving here.

Daily life here is well supported. Families living along this stretch have reputed schools and colleges nearby such as Delhi Public School, Gopalan International School, and Garden City University, healthcare facilities like Manipal Hospital and Columbia Asia, and shopping malls such as Phoenix Marketcity and VR Bengaluru within easy reach. Residents on portals like 99acres also flag good public transport, easy cab and auto availability, walkable markets, and good nearby schools as key highlights of the area.

Brigade Group has been steadily building its presence on this stretch, with projects ranging from ready and near-ready developments to new lakeside communities near Bhattarahalli. The road's seamless access to major commercial centres such as Whitefield, a hub for global technology companies, and Indiranagar, one of the city's most popular lifestyle destinations, keeps it firmly on the radar of both end-users and investors.
