Budigere to get senior living by Serene Communities, Gardencity Realty

Serene Communities has partnered with Gardencity Realty to develop a premium senior living community in Budigere, one of Bengaluru’s fastest-growing residential corridors. With a saleable area of roughly 3,00,000 sq. ft. and a Gross Development Value of about Rs 300 crore, the project strengthens Serene Communities’ expansion plans in a market that has shown sustained demand for high-quality senior living.

The company has 11 new projects in the pipeline, representing a planned investment of about Rs 2,500 crores and adding 3,000 units to its existing base of 1,700 operational units. In Bengaluru alone, Serene Communities plans to invest nearly Rs 500 crores over the next three to five years across new senior living communities.

Approvals soon

Located next to The Virtuoso, the Budigere property will comprise 250 premium 2 and 3 BHK homes, with prices starting at Rs 80 lakhs. Approvals are expected within the next six months, following which construction and sales will commence.

The upcoming community has been designed around the idea of positive ageing. Plans include a large clubhouse, a library, dedicated dining and recreational spaces, senior-friendly fitness facilities, therapy gardens, physiotherapy areas, spa, swimming pool, and a 24×7 health and wellness centre. Walking and cycling tracks, landscaped gardens, and curated outdoor activity zones will contribute to an environment focused on comfort, dignity, and active living.

Budigere has rapidly evolved into a well-connected suburban hub with strong road infrastructure, proximity to major IT and industrial zones, and convenient access to Kempegowda International Airport. The presence of hospitals, pharmacies, retail clusters, and leisure options adds to its suitability as a senior-friendly location.

Rajagopal G, co-founder, director & group CEO, Serene Communities by Columbia Pacific, said: “Budigere has emerged as one of Bengaluru’s most compelling senior living destinations, backed by good infrastructure and a balanced social ecosystem. Our partnership with Gardencity Realty builds on shared values and a common vision of creating high-quality communities for today’s active seniors.”

Strong foundation

Kuttu Muralikrishnan, MD, Gardencity Realty, shared, “Our earlier partnership with Serene in Chennai proved highly successful, and extending that collaboration to Bengaluru was a natural progression. Combining our development expertise with Serene’s deep understanding of senior living gives us a strong foundation to build a modern, future-ready community here.”

Ashish Bhasin, CEO, Gardencity Realty, added, “Serene Communities is a leading name in India’s senior living sector, and this partnership aligns with our intent to deepen our presence in this category. We are already exploring additional joint projects across cities where we have significant land banks.”
