Godrej Properties entered Bangalore's western corridor with Godrej Gold County, a low-density villa enclave in Chikkabidarakallu village on Tumkur Road, next to the Parle-G factory. Set within a serene 12-acre estate, Godrej Gold County comprises only 87 meticulously crafted villas, ensuring an exclusive and low-density residential environment. The project offers 4 BHK and 5 BHK villas along with 3 BHK and 4 BHK townhomes. The development is ready to move in, with RERA approval and possession completed by April 2018, giving buyers a track record of nearly a decade of occupied, functioning community life rather than a paper promise.
Godrej Gold County's location reflects a deliberate developer strategy rather than a speculative land bet. This region is renowned for its proximity to Asia's largest industrial hub, Peenya, and is surrounded by a thriving ecosystem of small and medium enterprises. That employment density, combined with arterial access, has historically pulled Godrej Properties toward Tumkur Road-facing addresses in North and West Bangalore, of which Chikkabidarakallu was among the earliest. The neighborhood is in close proximity to Asia's largest Peenya industrial area.
Consistent with Godrej Properties' broader sustainability positioning across its Bangalore portfolio, Godrej Gold County carries green-building credentials rather than only architectural finish. The project is IGBC Gold-certified, highlighting its commitment to green living and sustainable development. Amenities extend to a natural pond, swimming pool, and a card room exclusive to residents. Villas span 3,162 to 4,200 sq ft on the 12-acre parcel, with a clubhouse, cafeteria, community hall, tennis court, kids' play section and rainwater harvesting built into the layout.
The metro network has caught up with this stretch of Tumkur Road in the past two years, materially changing the commute calculus for anyone evaluating a Godrej Properties home here. Chikkabidarakallu is an elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Green Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, and it opened on 7 November 2024. The Green Line itself is 24.2 km long and connects Madavara to the Silk Institute in the south, with Chikkabidarakallu functioning as a residential zone with good reach to Tumkur Road, flanked by Manjunathnagar toward Nagasandra and IKEA, and further south by the Peenya industrial belt. At Peenya, the network gains an additional layer of reach: on Tumkur Road, the operational Peenya station of the Green Line connects with the Orange Line, which runs above the Green Line. For a Godrej Properties buyer, this means a villa address that was originally chosen for road connectivity now also sits on a rapid-transit spine.
Beyond the metro, the locality retains the highway access that made it attractive to Godrej Properties in the first place. Chikkabidarakallu Village in North Bangalore is adjacent to the Bangalore-Mangalore Highway, and Yeshwantpur Railway Station is the closest railhead. Kempegowda International Airport serves the region effectively, keeping residents connected domestically and internationally. Social infrastructure has grown alongside: the area is known for malls such as Esteem Mall, Elements Mall and Mantri Square, with Teachers Colony, Rukmini Nagar, Maruti Layout and Shambhavi Nagar as neighbouring residential pockets.
Price movement along this stretch supports the case for a developer-led, low-density product rather than dense high-rise stock. Property rates in North Tumkur Road, Chikkabidarakallu village, moved from around ₹4,675 per sq ft in 2016 to about ₹7,700 per sq ft in 2025, a cumulative rise of roughly 65 percent over the period, alongside a 14.1 percent increase in 2025 alone. At the city level, the broader Bengaluru housing market has also stayed firm: primary residential properties in Bengaluru rose 9.1 percent in the first quarter of FY26, among the strongest of India's major markets tracked by the National Housing Bank.
Godrej Gold County sits within a much larger operating footprint. Godrej Properties was established in 1990 as the real estate arm of the Godrej Group, which has a history dating back to 1897. It was originally established as Sea Breeze Constructions and Investments Private Limited in 1985, with the name changed to Godrej Properties Limited in 2004. In Bangalore specifically, the developer's history goes back two decades: the company launched Godrej Woodsman Estate in Bangalore in 2004, and it has since added townships and apartment communities across the city's north, east and west corridors, including recent launches such as Godrej Ananda in Bagalur and Godrej MSR City near the airport.
At the company level, Godrej Properties has scaled sharply in recent years. Godrej Properties Ltd has solidified its position as India's largest listed residential real estate developer for the second consecutive year, reporting a 19 percent year-on-year increase in booking value to ₹34,171 crore for calendar year 2025. Within this, Bengaluru has been a significant contributor: the national capital region, the Mumbai metropolitan region, and Bengaluru contributed more than ₹10,500 crore, ₹8,000 crore and ₹5,000 crore, respectively, to the booking value in FY25. This scale matters to a buyer at Godrej Gold County because it reflects the balance-sheet depth and continuity behind a smaller, boutique-format villa project rather than the exposure of a single-project developer.
