Locality review: HBR Layout, Bengaluru #MBTV #LocalityReview

Hennur Bellary Road Layout, popularly called HBR Layout, was developed by the Bangalore Development Authority. Easy access to Manyata Tech Park and Airport, coupled with good connectivity via the Outer Ring Road, are the major factors that have led to the development of this locality. HBR Layout is part of North-East Bengaluru and is divided into five blocks. NH-44 or the Outer Ring Road cuts through the locality, dividing it into two halves, and Thanisandra Main Road forms the north-western border of the locality. Hennur Lake Biodiversity Park is situated in the western part of the neighbourhood. Nagavara, Kodugonadanahalli, Thanisandra, Kothanur, Hennur Gardens and Kacharakanahalli are some of the nearby localities. HBR Layout is merely 4 km and 10 minutes away from Manyata Tech Park. The Kirloskar Business Park in Hebbal is about 9 km. RMZ Millenia is 8 km, Bagmane Tech Park is 12 km, and MG Road, the Central Business District of Bengaluru, is around 9 km away. Software parks and industrial areas along the Bellary Road like Brigade Ecopolis, Brigade Magnum, RMZ Latitude, Devanahalli Business Park, Doddaballapura Industrial Area, Aerospace SEZ and the upcoming L&T Business Park are also easily accessible. Social and retail infrastructure of HBR Layout is decent. Many schools and hospitals are present within a 5-km radius. The locality is served by many local stores and marts that cater to the residents’ daily shopping requirements. Elements Mall on Thanisandra Main Road is the nearest, situated at around 2 km. Hennur Lake Biodiversity Park, Nagavara Lake and Model Village are some of the places that the residents prefer to visit during their leisure. NH-44 or the Outer Ring Road, Thanisandra Main Road, Bellary Road, New Airport Road, 80 Feet Road, Nagawara Main Road and Hennur Road are the major roads that connect HBR Layout to various parts of the city. BMTC buses, cabs and autos are easily accessible from the major junctions of the locality. While Banaswadi Railway Station, situated at around 4 km, is the nearest, Bangalore East Railway Station and the Bangalore Cantonment Railway Station are 6 to 8 km away. Kempegowda International Airport is 32.5 km away and can be reached via NH-44. Byappanahalli houses the nearest metro station, situated at around 8 km. However, the proposed blue line metro to the airport will have a metro station in Kalyan Nagar, which will be about 2 km away from HBR Layout. The consumer profile of HBR Layout majorly comprises young IT professionals working mainly in Manyata Tech Park and other nearby employment hubs. The rental market of HBR Layout is also quite vibrant as most of these young professionals are usually looking out for rental accommodations. Poor drainage system, bad internal roads in some pockets and waterlogging during heavy downpours due to illegal constructions are the major concerns of the residents of HBR Layout. Easy access to Manyata Tech Park and other employment hubs of North Bengaluru, good road connectivity via the Outer Ring Road, proximity to Kempegowda International Airport, and decent retail and social infrastructure are attracting home buyers and real estate investors to HBR Layout. However, increased demand is also leading to a lot of illegal constructions. Hence, legal due diligence is a must before buying a property here. Link: www.magicbricks.com
