He stated that the 2.2 million square foot housing project is valued at over Rs16bn ($195.4m), which is approximately Rs8,000 per square foot.
Prestige has been centred on working in Bengaluru and a few other regions in Southern India, creating more than 280 residential, business, retail, and hospitality projects.

By GlobalDataHousing demand in India has risen in recent months. However, the increase is driven more by interest in luxury buildings than demand for more affordable options.
Narayana added: “We ensure that our ticket prices are affordable to many. The pricing has to be attractive, but that does not mean affordable housing.”
Narayana stated that Prestige intends to have four or five projects established in the National Capital Region by March 2024 in the area of rival companies such as DLF and Godrej.
This will increase total commercial sales to more than Rs160bn for the financial year ending March 2024, 24% higher than the previous year.
