Tharahunise, on Chapparkallu Road in the Devanahalli belt of North Bengaluru, is where Embassy Group is building Embassy Knowledge Park, a mixed-use township near the historic ITC Factory. Spread across roughly 200 acres on Chapparkallu Road at Tharahunise in North Bengaluru's Devanahalli airport belt, it is not an apartment project or an office park but a true mixed-use integrated township. For a developer whose name is already stamped across North Bengaluru's skyline, this is a deliberate extension of an existing ecosystem rather than a first foray into the corridor.
Embassy Group is an Indian real estate developer based in Bengaluru, established in 1993, and is headed by Jitu Virwani, Chairman & Managing Director of the group. Over three decades, the group's footprint has grown to over 85 million square feet of premium commercial, residential, retail, hospitality, and educational spaces, with operations in major Indian cities such as Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Mumbai, Noida, and Trivandrum, as well as international ventures in Serbia and Malaysia. The group is also known for institutional-grade commercial real estate: Embassy Group is also a pioneer in Grade A commercial spaces in Bangalore, developing Embassy TechVillage, Embassy Manyata Business Park, and Embassy GolfLinks, parks whose tenant rosters have historically included global names such as IBM, Goldman Sachs and Rolls-Royce. That same commercial credibility underwrites the group's residential brand, including Embassy Office Parks REIT, which is the first listed REIT in India and Asia's largest office REIT by area.
The residential development arm now trades as a listed company. Embassy Knowledge Park and its sibling projects sit under Embassy Developments Limited, one of India's largest listed real estate developers, specialising in the development of residential and commercial projects across key urban markets, with a strategic focus on Bengaluru, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), and the National Capital Region (NCR). The company's residential momentum has been building through FY26, with pre-sales of INR 4,631 Cr for FY26, an increase of 128% year-on-year, on the back of North Bengaluru launches that included Embassy Greenshore and Embassy Verde Phase II within the group's Embassy Springs township.
Embassy Knowledge Park is planned as a work-live-play address rather than a single residential block. Land use splits the site between commercial and residential precincts: 85+ acres of Embassy Biome residential - 4, 4.5 and 5 BHK villas, 2 to 3.5 BHK apartments (218 villas and 855 apartments) and 115 acres reserved for Grade A commercial development. The residential layer, marketed as Embassy Biome, is deliberately low-rise: the project introduces a low-density, land-centric residential format of luxury villas and low-rise apartments in a market dominated by high-rise towers, making it a distinctive proposition in Bangalore's north corridor.
Design details reinforce the master-planned character of the site. Architect Alok Shetty has created the villa enclave of the project, organised around an 80-foot grand spinal road, wider than the 40- to 60-foot internal roads on which most townships rely. Shared lifestyle infrastructure spans a 40,000 sft signature clubhouse, 19-acre landscaped spine and full lifestyle stack, with an indoor heated pool and outdoor pool, spa with steam and sauna, lighting tennis courts, putting green, skating rink and event hall.
Embassy Knowledge Park does not stand alone. The development sits adjacent to Embassy's existing North Bangalore ecosystem, including Embassy Springs (288 acres), Embassy Green Shores, and Embassy Verde, and is close to Stonehill International School and the Dravid Padukone Centre of Excellence for Sports. Embassy Springs itself is the group's flagship township in the belt: the Embassy Springs integrated township (300 acres, Sadahalli, Devanahalli / Airport Road, North Bengaluru) is the group's largest single residential development — combining luxury apartments, villas, plotted developments, Embassy Knowledge Business Park and social infrastructure. Within Springs, projects such as Embassy Verde and Embassy Green Shores have followed a similar low-density, amenity-led format, giving Embassy Group a continuous run of addresses along the Devanahalli–Tharahunise stretch rather than an isolated project.
North Bengaluru overall is where Embassy Group built its earlier residential landmarks too, including Embassy Boulevard in Yelahanka. The premium residential project is located at Yelahanka, North Bangalore, with 3 villas per acre and 170 villa units of 4 & 5 BHK configurations spread across 51 acres. Tharahunise, by comparison, is the newer and larger canvas in the group's North Bengaluru portfolio.
The location logic for Embassy Knowledge Park rests on proximity to employment, the airport and emerging transit. Within a short radius, the project sits near KIADB Aerospace SEZ, IFCI Financial City, Prestige Tech Cloud and BIAL IT Investment Region, all within roughly 10 km. Kempegowda International Airport is around 14 kms away via the elevated airport road and about 7 kms away from the proposed Doddajala Metro Station in Phase 2B. Arterial connectivity runs through NH 44 (Bellary Road) — a direct arterial route to Hebbal and the city. Healthcare and retail have also moved north along the same corridor: tertiary care at Manipal Hospital, Yelahanka and Aster CMI and retail at Phoenix Mall of Asia and RMZ Galleria are a short drive away.
The metro and airport upgrades are the corridor's principal catalysts. The biggest infrastructure catalyst is the Blue Line Phase 2B metro — targeted operational June 2027 — with Doddajala and Sadahalli stations 7-10 km from the Chapparkallu Road stretch. On pricing, Devanahalli's residential market has moved steadily: flat prices in Devanahalli are in the range of Rs 9,800-12,550 per square feet, having changed by 11.8% in the last 1 year, 57.0% in the last 3 years and 72.7% in the last 5 years. Within this, plotted and villa-format stretches such as Chapparkallu Road have historically traded at a discount to fully built apartment inventory, reflecting the corridor's transition from a plotted, low-density market toward branded township development — precisely the segment Embassy Knowledge Park is positioned in.
For a buyer evaluating Tharahunise specifically through an Embassy Group lens, the case rests less on the locality alone and more on watching a developer replicate a proven North Bengaluru township formula — Embassy Springs, Embassy Boulevard, Embassy Verde, Embassy Green Shores — at a fresh, larger address a few kilometres further along the same Devanahalli corridor, backed by a listed development company reporting area sold for FY26 at 3,581k sf, up 62% year-on-year, and a commercial legacy anchored by Asia's largest listed office REIT.
