Tarahunise, a village cluster in Jala Hobli on the Yelahanka side of North Bangalore, is not a location Embassy Group arrived at recently. Stonehill International School, founded in 2008, is operated by the Stonehill Education Foundation within the Embassy Group, and the school's two-story facility, purpose-built on 34 acres of land, sits on the same stretch identified in property listings as Tarahunise, Jala Hobli. Around this campus, Embassy has layered other institutional assets: the school itself is situated between Embassy International Riding School, India's premier horse riding school, and the Padukone-Dravid Centre for Sports Excellence. This cluster of education and sport, built over more than fifteen years, is the reason Embassy Group's name is already familiar to residents of Tarahunise well before any apartment tower goes up.
Embassy Group is an Indian real estate developer based in Bengaluru, established in 1993, headed by Jitu Virwani, Chairman and Managing Director of the group. Its operations now span 22+ cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Chennai, and Pune, amongst others, and the group has developed 85+ million sq.ft. of commercial, residential, hospitality, education and industrial park spaces, backed by an extensive land bank of 1,700+ acres across the country. Its office-parks arm went further: Embassy also operates a real estate investment trust (REIT), called Embassy Office Parks REIT, which is the first listed REIT in India and Asia's largest office REIT by area. That scale matters for a Tarahunise buyer because it explains why an apartment enclave here sits inside a much larger, self-funded township plan rather than a standalone project dependent on a single land parcel.
The group's residential entry in this pocket is built around a large integrated township. Embassy Codename is a luxury residential apartment project launched near Stonehill International School, Tarahunise, Yelahanka, spread across 14+ acres within a 200+ acre integrated township and featuring 855 ultra-luxury residences. The project offers 2 BHK, 2.5 BHK, 3 BHK, and 3.5 BHK residences with premium specifications, contemporary architecture, and elegant interiors, and its landscaping brief includes 4,000+ planned trees and expansive open spaces as part of the wellness-focused community plan. Configuration-wise, published unit sizes range from a 1,330 sq.ft. 2 BHK to a 2,140 sq.ft. 3.5 BHK, with the entry 2 BHK priced from Rs. 1.76 Crore Rupees onwards. Alongside it, Embassy has flagged a second, larger-format initiative in the same belt: an emerging integrated IT, business park, and luxury residential hub spanning 55 to 200 acres, combining Grade-A office space, villas, and low-rise apartments, positioned close to the Devanahalli corridor. Taken together, the two point to a deliberate strategy of pairing homes with employment and institutional infrastructure inside one land parcel, rather than dropping a single tower into an undeveloped village.
Embassy's earlier North Bangalore developments give the Tarahunise move context. The group is known for benchmarks like Embassy Springs and Embassy Manyata Business Park further south along the same Bellary Road corridor, and Tarahunise extends that footprint closer to the airport. The location offers access to Kempegowda International Airport, KIADB Aerospace Park, the Airport Business Corridor, Yelahanka, and other major business hubs, which is the same employment logic that has driven Embassy's commercial parks elsewhere in the city. On education, Stonehill remains the anchor: it is an IB continuum school offering PYP, MYP, DP, and the IB Career-related Programme, drawing students of more than thirty nationalities, which supports a resident profile of returning NRIs, expatriate families, and senior corporate executives working the airport-business-park belt.
Connectivity around Tarahunise is shifting from road-dependent to multi-modal. Yelahanka Metro Station is an elevated station on the Blue Line of Namma Metro, part of the Phase 2B extension aimed at improving connectivity between KR Pura and the airport, expected to be operational by December 2027. Rail is arriving even sooner: the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project's Corridor 1, linking Yelahanka to Devanahalli, is expected to finish by December 2026. Regionally, the Satellite Town Ring Road, a 280-288 km expressway costing ₹15,676 crore, is nearing completion and will link 12 satellite towns including Devanahalli, while rerouting freight traffic away from the core. These are not marginal upgrades for a township the size of Embassy's Tarahunise land bank — a working metro-plus-suburban-rail-plus-expressway combination is precisely the infrastructure base that supports a 200-acre integrated development rather than a piecemeal one.
Values in the wider North Bangalore airport corridor have already moved. North Bangalore areas including Devanahalli, Yelahanka, Bagalur, and Chikkajala have shown appreciation of 15-28% over the past few years, driven largely by IT and aerospace investment. Within this, Yelahanka currently carries property rates up to Rs 6,000 per sq ft on the broader secondary market, a base against which Embassy's own pre-launch pricing in Tarahunise sits at a premium reflecting the integrated-township format, the Stonehill address, and the group's institutional land holding rather than a standalone plot rate. For a buyer evaluating Embassy Group specifically in Tarahunise, the case rests less on a single project brochure and more on this layered footprint — a functioning international school, sports and equestrian institutions built over a decade, a large residential enclave now under construction, and a business-park-scale land bank still to be built out, all inside one integrated township as North Bangalore's transit infrastructure catches up.
