The Godrej Vanantara master plan covers 36 acres at Dinnepalya, off Bannerghatta Road, South Bangalore. The layout places 18 high-rise towers (3B+G+32 floors each) across the site in two phases of nine towers each. Approximately 80 per cent of the total 36-acre area is allocated to open green space, including a 4-acre private forest zone, landscaped gardens, walking trails, and a podium-level outdoor amenity network. The central 65,000 sq. ft. clubhouse anchors the common amenity programme. All vehicular movement is confined to the basement and site periphery, keeping the ground plane clear for pedestrian circulation and landscape.
Planning Concept
The master planning philosophy at Godrej Vanantara is built around the concept of a forest-first residential community. The 36-acre site is arranged so that the 4-acre private forest occupies a central zone accessible to all residents, surrounded by a network of walking trails, nature paths, and landscape buffers that connect the forest to the tower podiums and the central clubhouse. This arrangement means every resident is within a short walk of the forest zone regardless of which tower they live in.
The 18 towers are positioned in a ring pattern around the central open space and forest zone, with tower spacing designed to allow natural sunlight to reach the lower floors on the south-facing sides of each building. The site boundary creates a clear perimeter wall that separates the residential community from the surrounding road network. The only vehicular entry and exit points are controlled by security gantries, and all car parking is in the three basement levels beneath the towers, which means the entire ground plane above the basements is available for pedestrian movement, landscaping, and amenity access.
The clubhouse is positioned at the centre of the master plan, equidistant from all 18 towers. This placement ensures that no resident is significantly farther from the clubhouse than any other resident, avoiding the situation common in long-plan townships where one cluster of towers has a much worse amenity access than another. The 65,000 sq. ft. clubhouse has internal roads running past its main entrance for drop-off and deliveries, but the pedestrian approach from all towers is through landscaped paths rather than via driveways.
The phased development approach splits the 36-acre site into Phase 1 (nine towers) and Phase 2 (nine towers). Phase 1 towers and the full common amenity infrastructure are delivered together, meaning Phase 1 residents have access to the entire 65,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, the 4-acre forest, and all 55-plus amenities from possession. Phase 2 towers are subsequently constructed on the remaining land within the same boundary, sharing the same amenity infrastructure. This approach ensures that Phase 1 buyers are not living in a construction zone for the full five-year period while Phase 2 towers are built — the Phase 2 construction zone is physically separated from the Phase 1 residential precincts.
Of the 36 acres in the master plan, approximately 80 per cent is allocated to open or green space. This allocation covers the 4-acre private forest, landscaped gardens, jogging and cycling paths, nature trails, outdoor sports zones, seating plazas, and the communal outdoor amenity areas surrounding the clubhouse. The remaining 20 per cent covers building footprints, driveways, entrance roads, and utility infrastructure.
The 4-acre private forest is a resident-accessible planted zone inside the township boundary. It is designed with native and semi-native tree species to create a dense canopy layer, supporting cooling, biodiversity, and a genuine natural character rather than decorative plantation planting. The forest connects to the walking trail network and is accessible from multiple points within the ground-level circulation plan, making it a daily-use green space rather than a visual amenity seen only from windows.
All parking is in the three basement levels beneath each tower. This means the entire ground plane across the 36-acre site is effectively car-free, with only emergency access, drop-off zones, and service routes at grade. Residents walk from lift lobbies directly into the landscaped ground plane without crossing any active driveways, which makes the community safer and more pleasant for pedestrian use, especially for children and senior residents.
Phased Development
The 18-tower township is developed in two equal phases of nine towers each. Phase 1 is launched first and is expected to go on sale in 2026 with possession targeted for December 2031. The common amenity infrastructure — including the 65,000 sq. ft. clubhouse, the 4-acre forest, and the outdoor sports and leisure facilities — is constructed and handed over with Phase 1. This means buyers who enter through Phase 1 will have full access to all shared amenities from their possession date.
Phase 2 is expected to be launched in a subsequent tranche after Phase 1 reaches sufficient construction progress. Phase 2 buyers will share the same common amenity infrastructure as Phase 1, and their possession timeline will follow the Phase 2 construction cycle. The developer typically starts selling Phase 2 after Phase 1 reaches a mid-construction milestone, and Phase 2 pricing is usually higher than Phase 1 pricing to reflect the construction-linked value accretion and reduced timeline risk for later buyers.
For buyers comparing Phase 1 and Phase 2 entry points, the key variables are price difference, unit location within the 36-acre site, possession timeline, and construction risk. Phase 1 buyers benefit from lower entry pricing and the longest time horizon for potential value appreciation before possession. Phase 2 buyers benefit from a shorter wait period, a construction-stage project to inspect before booking, and the track record of Phase 1 delivery progress as a confidence signal.
