Embassy Group is an Indian real estate developer based in Bengaluru, established in 1993, with a portfolio spanning commercial, residential, hospitality, industrial warehousing, services, retail and education. The group is headed by Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director, who has led the company since its founding. Embassy's residential story in the city predates even the group's formal incorporation: The Embassy on Ali Askar Road, Bangalore's first high-end residential complex, opened in 1994 when Jitu Virwani was 24 years old, and by 2015 it had completed 21 years as a managed, resident-run community. That project set the template Embassy has repeated since, in Hebbal, Domlur, and now Devanahalli, near Kempegowda International Airport: a gated, professionally managed address built for long occupancy rather than quick turnover.
Embassy's residential reputation in Bengaluru is inseparable from its commercial track record. The group sponsors the Embassy Office Parks REIT, which is the first listed REIT in India and Asia's largest office REIT by area. Its flagship campus, Embassy Manyata Business Park on Outer Ring Road near Nagawara and Hebbal, has a completed area of 12.9 million square feet and houses 69 tenants with more than 100,000 park users, alongside long-standing occupiers such as IBM, Cognizant and Rolls-Royce. That scale of institutional tenancy is relevant to a homebuyer because Embassy's residential launches, including its North Bengaluru township, are consistently positioned close to the same employment corridors the group has spent three decades building.
North of the airport, in Nagamangala village, Devanahalli, Embassy has assembled its largest single residential development: Embassy Springs, an integrated township spread across roughly 288 to 300 acres. The township combines plotted developments, villas, row houses and apartments with a 34-acre retail zone, a clubhouse, a school, a hospital, a temple and a gurudwara, along with a 5.5-acre man-made lake and more than 45 acres of parks. Embassy Springs is planned with over 809 plots, 150-plus villas, 150-plus row houses and 3,000-plus apartments across multiple phases and sub-projects, including Embassy Verde, Embassy Edge and the newer Embassy Greenshore. The scale of the township means residents are not simply buying a unit; they are buying into a self-contained precinct with schools, healthcare and retail already accounted for in the master plan, rather than waiting on the surrounding micro-market to catch up.
Embassy Greenshore is the group's newer high-rise cluster within Embassy Springs, developed on roughly 14 acres inside the larger township, off MSEC Road, Navarathna Agrahara. The project is planned across eight residential towers rising to 18 floors, offering apartments in 2, 3 and 4 BHK configurations with sizes broadly ranging from around 1,200 to 2,600 square feet. Positioned within the township's landscaped setting, Embassy Greenshore residents draw on the same lake, clubhouse, school, hospital and retail infrastructure that Embassy has built out across Embassy Springs, while the towers themselves carry their own clubhouse, swimming pool, gymnasium, sports courts and landscaped gardens. Being part of Embassy's largest residential canvas in the city gives Greenshore a scale of surrounding amenity that a standalone apartment block in the same micro-market would not have on its own.
Devanahalli has moved from an agricultural outpost to what several market trackers now describe as North Bengaluru's most active growth corridor, anchored by Kempegowda International Airport and the KIADB Aerospace Park. Embassy Springs itself sits close to the airport toll plaza, off NH-44 (Bellary Road), with signal-free access toward Hebbal and Yelahanka. Two infrastructure projects are central to the area's near-term outlook: the Namma Metro Blue Line (Phase 2B), which will connect Silk Board to the airport via KR Puram and Hebbal, and the Satellite Town Ring Road (STRR), which is improving connectivity toward Hoskote and Doddaballapur. Average residential apartment rates in Devanahalli have been quoted around ₹9,500 to ₹11,000 per square foot, with flat prices reported to have moved by roughly 11.8 percent over the past year and close to 57 percent over three years by one property-data tracker, a trajectory market commentators attribute to airport-linked infrastructure and the arrival of large, reputed-developer townships. For a buyer evaluating Embassy specifically, this means the group's own commercial footprint, including the Embassy Knowledge Park business park it is developing nearby, sits inside the same employment and connectivity story that is pushing residential demand in the corridor.
Embassy Springs does not stand in isolation within the group's Bengaluru portfolio. Elsewhere in the city, Embassy has built Embassy Boulevard on Bellary Road in Hebbal, Embassy Lake Terraces overlooking Hebbal Lake, and the villament-format Embassy Grove closer to the city centre, alongside commercial landmarks such as Embassy GolfLinks and Embassy TechVillage. That breadth matters to a Devanahalli buyer because Embassy's residential and commercial arms tend to reinforce each other geographically: a business park nearby supports rental and resale demand for the residences built around it, a pattern visible at Embassy Manyata and Embassy Lake Terraces in Hebbal, and now being repeated as Embassy builds out both housing and business-park space around Embassy Springs in Devanahalli.
