Brigade Enterprises Ltd. has officially launched Brigade Belvedere, a new residential development spread across 10.75 acres on Budigere Main Road, off Old Madras Road in East Bangalore. The initial phase comprises two of five planned towers, introducing 773 residential units to the market with an estimated revenue potential exceeding ₹1,100 crore .
The development offers 1 BHK, 2 BHK, and 3 BHK configurations, with unit sizes ranging from 715 sq ft to over 2,013 sq ft, catering to a diverse spectrum of homebuyers from young professionals to growing families .
Net Zero by 2045: Sustainability at the Core
Pavitra Shankar, Managing Director of Brigade Enterprises Limited, emphasized that the Budigere and Old Madras Road micro-markets are experiencing robust growth driven by improved infrastructure and connectivity. She noted that Brigade Belvedere is committed to being a net zero carbon development, aligning with the organization’s broader corporate goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2045 .
This commitment is not merely aspirational. According to Brigade’s latest sustainability disclosures, the Group has already made significant progress on its ESG goals:
- Renewable Energy: 17.2% of total electricity consumption comes from renewable sources, with the hospitality vertical reaching 28.6%
- Water Stewardship: 52% of water use is met through recycling, alongside a 21% increase in groundwater recharge via rainwater harvesting measures
- Green Building Certifications: The company’s green-certified portfolio stands at 16.35 million sq ft, with 2.15 million sq ft certified in the latest reporting period alone
- Waste Management: 85.9% of project waste is diverted from landfills through effective reuse and recycling strategies
- Biodiversity: Over 1,04,570 native species trees have been planted across Brigade’s projects
The Group is also a member of the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and has committed to aligning with the 1.5°C pathway . Brigade Belvedere represents the next step in this journey, following the earlier launch of Brigade Citrine, which was positioned as “India’s first truly” net-zero carbon residential community .
“Our commitment to net-zero focuses on mitigating, reusing and offsetting to reduce the environmental impact over the next 25 years,” Shankar had stated during the Citrine launch, a philosophy that extends to the newly launched Belvedere project .
Location Advantage: Budigere’s Transformation
The Budigere and Old Madras Road corridor has emerged as a significant residential hub in East Bangalore, driven by strategic infrastructure development and proximity to major employment centres.
Connectivity: The widening and improvement of Old Madras Road (NH-75) has eased accessibility, while Budigere’s internal road networks have enhanced connectivity to key areas across Bangalore . The locality offers convenient access to:
- Kempegowda International Airport — ideal for frequent travellers
- Whitefield — home to numerous IT parks and commercial establishments
- Manyata Tech Park — one of the city’s largest business parks
Social Infrastructure: The micro-market boasts an enriched social infrastructure with reputed educational institutions such as The Brigade School, New Baldwin International Residential School, and Narayana e-Techno School.

Retail and Recreation: Residents will find themselves in close proximity to high-street retail and shopping destinations, notably the Orion Uptown mall, providing a seamless urban lifestyle .
Amenities and Design Philosophy
Brigade Belvedere has been designed with a focus on modern living and community engagement. The development features:
