Channasandra, Bangalore

Overview

Channasandra is a rapidly developing town in the eastern suburbs of Bangalore. The area offers an affordable residential alternative in the region supporting IT/ITeS employees from the nearby Whitefield/ITPL tech park.

Connectivity

●       Channasandra Main Road is an important road link connecting to the eastern and northern suburban markets via Whitefield Main Road and Hoodi-KR Puram Junctions to the locality.

●       BMTC bus services are available on both Channasandra Main Road and Whitefield Main Road covering both north-eastern and south-eastern markets.

●       While the interstate bus and rail terminals located at Majestic is at a distance of about 25 km, the area is very near to the Whitefield Railway Station providing quick access to the trains.

●       Kempegowda International Airport is about 45-50km and can be reached via Budigere or Hoskote as an alternative to the Outer Ring Road and Bellary/Hennur Road.

Factors for growth

●       ITPL has been an economic wheel for the eastern part of the city for a long time churning investments and corporate establishments driving residential markets around the region.

●       Further expansion of heavy industrial and IT sector in the area projects space for appreciation in neighbouring markets such as Channasandra.

●       Ample availability of affordable and urbanisable land implies high scope for growth and development in the region.

●       Expansion of the existing Purple Line metro route (Baiyappanahalli-Whitefield) up to Kadugodi will further enhance the accessibility of the market increasing the reach to other parts of the city.

Infrastructure Developments - Social and Physical

As Channasandra is still termed as an emerging residential market of the east, we are yet to witness development of social and physical infrastructure in the region.

●       Some good choices for educational facilities in and around the area include Whitefield Global School, Government Upper Primary School and Samskrithi Montessori School amongst others.

●       Nearest entertainment and retail malls for fun could be Inorbit Mall (Whitefield) or Forum Value Mall (Near Varthur Kodi). There are number of daily essential retail supermarkets present along the Whitefield Main Road satisfying the needs of the residents.

●       Channasandra is rich with choice of healthcare facilities in the neighbouring region majorly focused on to Whitefield Main Road with popular ones being Satya Sai Super Specialty Hospital, Cloud Nine Hospital, Columbia Asia hospitals, Svastha Hospital and Narayana Multispecialty hospital, amongst others.

Major Challenges

●       There are repeated complaints regarding the nuisance created by the stray dogs during nights.

Apart from this, there are numerous civic issues and works to be concentrated up on by the government including muddy roads, potholes and garbage collection, amongst others.
