SOBHA Limited's presence in Yelahanka did not arrive with a single project; it has built up over roughly a decade through a cluster of developments concentrated around Kogilu Main Road and Kogilu Cross, one of the more established residential pockets of North Bangalore. Sobha projects in Yelahanka offer a strong mix of premium apartments and well-established gated communities, with developments like Sobha Square, Sobha Palm Court, Sobha Amber, Sobha Malachite, Phase-1, and Sobha Emerald Phase II known for their quality construction, spacious layouts, and prime connectivity to the airport, Hebbal, and key IT corridors. The latest addition to this footprint is SOBHA YELAHANKA, a newly announced high-rise development in the same Kogilu corridor, extending a portfolio that already spans ready-to-move apartments, row houses and villa-style homes in the locality.
PNC Menon formed Sobha Developers Limited on August 7, 1995, and as of August 18, 2014, the enterprise is known as Sobha Limited, with its corporate office in Bangalore. In 2006, the company went public through its initial public offering, an event that created history when the issue got oversubscribed by a record 126 times, and today it operates as one of the largest, and the only fully backward-integrated, real estate players in the country. That backward integration includes an interiors division with one of India's largest woodworking factories, a metal works and glazing factory, and a concrete products factory, which is why SOBHA controls its own finishes and fit-out quality rather than outsourcing them, an approach that carries through to its Yelahanka projects.
On the contractual side, the same in-house model has been used to build for institutional clients. Sobha has constructed structures for corporate clients including Dell, Institute of Public Enterprises (IPE), Taj Group, Hotel Leela Ventures, Infosys, Bosch, HP, Biocon and Timken. At a company level, Sobha has delivered over 148 million sq ft across 27 Indian cities, while also expanding into newer markets like Mumbai and Greater Noida, and its most recent quarterly disclosures show average price realisation climbing to Rs 15,436 per sq ft in Q3 FY26, alongside cumulative nine-month FY26 sales crossing Rs 6,097 crore, a growth of 37.3 percent over the same period last year, driven by record Bangalore demand.
Sobha Palm Court, on Kogilu Main Road, is the most established of the group's Yelahanka addresses. It is a ready-to-move luxury residential project located on Kogilu Main Road, offering thoughtfully designed 2 and 3 BHK apartments with spacious layouts and premium finishes, spread over a total area of 4.9 acres. It was launched in August 2016, with possession beginning from February 2022 onwards, and carries the RERA registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/170915/000164.
Sobha Square, at Kogilu Cross, is a smaller, denser development. Spread over 4.00 acres, it offers 288 meticulously designed 2 BHK and 3 BHK apartments and is a ready-to-move-in project, having achieved its expected completion date of January 30, 2020. Unit sizes here run from 1,560 to 1,950 sq ft in the 3 BHK configuration.
Sobha Althea & Azalea sits a short distance away as a mixed low-rise and high-rise format. The project comprises three apartment towers, each with a configuration of Basement + Ground + 16 Floors, and five blocks of Azalea Row Houses, spread over 8 acres, offering 176 super luxury apartments and penthouses along with independent villa-style homes. Unit sizes range from 2,012 sqft to 4,387 sqft across the 3 and 4 BHK configurations, and the layout connects to Doddaballapur Road (0.5 km) and Yelahanka Road (3.9 km). A short drive north on Jakkur Road, Sobha HRC Pristine adds another data point to the group's North Bangalore scale: a high-end residential project offering apartments and penthouses, spread across 8.52 acres, launched in 2019 with possession completed by July 2022.
The newly announced SOBHA YELAHANKA development continues the same Kogilu-corridor positioning as its predecessors, with a mix of 2, 3 and 4 BHK configurations aimed at the high-rise segment of the micro-market. Its location keeps it close to the same anchors that have supported SOBHA's earlier Yelahanka projects: proximity to Manyata Tech Park, the airport corridor, and the metro infrastructure now under construction through Kogilu. This positions it less as an isolated launch and more as the latest chapter in a corridor where the SOBHA name is already familiar to resale buyers, tenants and brokers.
Connectivity is the primary reason this micro-market keeps attracting SOBHA's pipeline. Yelahanka connects to key parts of Bangalore through NH 44, Bellary Road, Doddaballapur Road, Yelahanka Road and Hebbal, and Kempegowda International Airport is roughly 19 to 22 km away, a drive of around 20 to 30 minutes in normal traffic. The bigger shift underway is metro access: the Blue Line runs parallel to NH 44, passing through Kodigehalli, Jakkur, Yelahanka and Doddajala before reaching the airport road, with Phase 2B extending 37 km from KR Puram to the airport with key stations at Hebbal, Yelahanka and Airport City. Locally, this translates into two new stations serving the Kogilu stretch directly, with the Airport Metro expected to give a 15-minute trip to the airport via Kogilu Cross and Bagalur Cross stations.
Rail is the other half of the story. The Yelahanka Junction railway station is a significant hub for suburban rail travel, comprising five platforms and multiple lines connecting the suburb to essential parts of the city and beyond, and the suburban rail corridor linking Yelahanka to Devanahalli is expected to finish by December 2026. For residents of SOBHA's Kogilu cluster, this combination of metro, suburban rail and NH 44 access is what separates Yelahanka from newer, less-serviced outer suburbs.
The locality's civic maturity is a further reason SOBHA has kept building here rather than moving further out. Families have access to schools including Delhi Public School, Ryan International School, Canadian International School and NITTE Meenakshi Institute of Technology, hospitals such as Manipal Hospital, Aster CMI and Columbia Asia, and malls such as RMZ Galleria and the upcoming Phoenix Mall of Asia. SOBHA's Yelahanka projects sit close to Kempegowda International Airport, Manyata Tech Park, and upcoming metro corridors, with schools like DPS North and hospitals like Aster CMI a short drive away.
Price data across SOBHA's existing Yelahanka projects gives buyers a reference point for the newer launch. The average asking price across Yelahanka sits around ₹8,900 per sq ft, while Sobha Square averages closer to ₹12,600 per sq ft, reflecting the premium the SOBHA name commands over the wider locality average. At Sobha Althea, average property prices moved from ₹8,900 to ₹8,950 per sq ft during Q3 2025, a 0.56 percent rise, and resale listings show apartments trading at around ₹1.8 crore for a 2,200 sq ft 3 BHK unit. At the macro level, North Bangalore's Devanahalli-Yelahanka-Bagalur-Chikkajala belt has shown appreciation of 15-28 percent over the past few years, driven largely by IT and aerospace investment, underscoring why SOBHA continues to add inventory to this specific corridor rather than treating Yelahanka as a one-off entry.
