Embassy Group has been building in Bengaluru since 1993, when Jitendra Virwani took the company into property development. Embassy Group commenced operations in 1993 under its founder and Chairman, Jitu Virwani (Jitendra Virwani), who entered the property development business in 1985 at the age of 19. Over three decades, the group's footprint has grown well beyond Bengaluru's city limits, but its residential identity was built here first, with addresses such as Embassy Boulevard on Bellary Road and Embassy Lake Terraces in Hebbal. The developer brings over three decades of experience and a proven track record of delivering and managing more than 100 million sq. ft. across commercial, residential, hospitality, services, and education sectors in India.
North Yelahanka is where Embassy Group has placed its newest and largest residential bet in this part of the city. Embassy Developments announced the launch of Embassy Origins, an approximately 85-acre residential development in North Bengaluru. Built around its unique Natural Intelligence design philosophy, the first phase of the development comprises two RERA-approved residential projects, Embassy Riverine and Embassy South Reserve, with a combined GDV of Rs 4,500 crore.
Embassy South Reserve is the apartment component of this township. Embassy South Reserve comprises 855 apartments (Studio to 3.5 BHK) across approximately 1.5 million sq. ft. of saleable area. It sits alongside Embassy Riverine, a villa-led development within the same 85-acre parcel, and together the two form Phase 1 of Embassy Origins. Together, the two projects offer more than 2.6 million sq. ft. of saleable residential space.
The location detail matters for buyers evaluating an Embassy Group home in this corridor. Embassy South Reserve is a RERA-approved premium residential apartment project by Embassy Group in Tarahunise, north of Yelahanka, North Bengaluru. It sits near Tarahunise Lake in North Yelahanka, bringing together Embassy Riverine villas and Embassy South Reserve apartments. The masterplan itself was shaped around the site's existing topography rather than laid over it. Designed and landscaped by Bengaluru-based Bhumiputra Architecture, led by Principal Architect Alok Shetty, the development integrates approximately 4,000 trees across 100-120 species, with a central riparian corridor following the site's natural water systems and contours, supporting biodiversity while contributing to a cooler microclimate.
North Yelahanka sits inside a corridor that has been reshaped by the airport over the past two decades. Kempegowda International Airport brought a drastic change in Yelahanka's character, elevating it from a sleepy little town, and Yelahanka, 20 kilometers from the airport, can be easily accessed via NH44. For a project positioned north of Yelahanka, that proximity is even tighter: Embassy South Reserve is located in North Yelahanka, roughly 20 minutes from Bengaluru International Airport.
Transit infrastructure is catching up to the road network. Metro connectivity is arriving with the Namma Metro Blue Line (Phase 2B), connecting the airport to central Bengaluru through Hebbal and Nagawara, with Yelahanka already benefiting from the Yellow Line's approval stage. This has had a visible effect on pricing across the belt. Due to better roads, the new metro line, and demand from tech parks, property prices in areas like Hebbal, Devanahalli, and Yelahanka have gone up by 15-20%. Broader market data for the immediate Yelahanka zone puts the average property price around ₹10,800 per sq ft in this area, giving Embassy Group's Tarahunise-facing project a reference point against the wider corridor.
For a buyer, the Embassy Group name attached to Embassy South Reserve carries specific weight in this micro-market. It is not an isolated, first-time entrant testing North Yelahanka; it is a developer that already operates the Embassy Manyata Business Park and multiple Hebbal addresses within the same city quadrant, and is now extending that footprint further up the Bellary Road-NH44 axis with an 85-acre integrated township. The apartment product itself spans a wide range within one gated address, from studio to 3.5 BHK, which lets Embassy Group serve both compact end-user buyers and larger families inside a single Tarahunise-based community, backed by the K-RERA registration secured for the project as part of Embassy Origins Phase 1.
