Architect in Electronic City, Bengaluru: Floor Plans, 3D Elevations & Plan Approval
Electronic City is Bengaluru's largest IT employment zone — home to Infosys, Wipro, HCL, and hundreds of tech firms. The residential demand it generates has turned surrounding areas like Neeladri Nagar, Hebbagodi, Bommasandra, and Kudlu into some of South Bengaluru's fastest-growing residential zones. If you're building here, there are some critical jurisdiction and approval questions to get right first.
Electronic City: Area Context & Residential Zones
| Parameter | Phase 1 | Phase 2 / Surroundings |
|---|---|---|
| BBMP Wards | Ward 191 (Begur), Ward 192 | Ward 193, some GP areas |
| BBMP Zone | South Zone | South Zone / GP jurisdiction |
| Common Plot Sizes | 30×40, 40×60 | 20×30, 30×40, 30×50 |
| Key Sub-areas | Neeladri Nagar, Konappana Agrahara | Hebbagodi, Bommasandra, Kudlu |
| Dominant Plot Facing | East & North | Mixed (grid varies by layout) |
| Rental Market | Very strong — IT professionals | Strong — tech workers, students |
| Connectivity | Elevated Expressway (direct to Silk Board) | Hosur Road, Green Line Metro (planned) |
⚠️ Critical: BBMP vs Gram Panchayat Jurisdiction
Electronic City was merged into BBMP in 2016, but the transition is uneven. Some plots in Phase 2, Hebbagodi, and Bommasandra may still require approval from a Gram Panchayat or BBMP's Village Areas division rather than the standard Sub-Division Office. Always verify your plot's jurisdiction before submitting drawings. We do this verification as part of every project consultation — getting it wrong means resubmitting entirely.

Why Electronic City Is Bengaluru's Best Rental Market
Electronic City employs over 3 lakh people — making it one of the largest IT employment clusters in Asia. This creates a permanent, high-demand rental market that is largely insulated from the cyclical ups and downs of other Bengaluru submarkets.
| Unit Type | Monthly Rent (2025–26) | Typical Tenant |
|---|---|---|
| 1RK (280–350 sq ft) | ₹7,000–₹10,000 | Single IT professional / fresher |
| 1BHK (450–600 sq ft) | ₹12,000–₹18,000 | Working couple or single mid-level |
| 2BHK (750–950 sq ft) | ₹18,000–₹26,000 (Ph. 1), ₹15,000–₹22,000 (Ph. 2) | Family, senior professional |
| 3BHK (1,100–1,400 sq ft) | ₹28,000–₹38,000 | Family, shared between professionals |
Floor Plan Design for Rental Maximisation
30×40 Plot — G+2 Rental Strategy
This is Electronic City's most popular rental-focused configuration:
- Ground floor: 1BHK + parking + utility (or 2×1RK)
- 1st Floor: 2BHK (most popular unit type)
- 2nd Floor: 2BHK or 1BHK+1BHK split
Estimated gross rental income: ₹45,000–₹65,000/month from a well-designed 30×40 G+2 in Electronic City Phase 1.
40×60 Plot — G+3 Rental Apartment
- 2×2BHK per floor across G+3 = 6 residential units
- At ₹22,000/unit average: ₹1.32 lakhs/month gross rent
- Alternative: Owner flat on ground + 10 units of 1BHK above (G+2 stilt design)
Design tip for Electronic City: IT professionals prioritise parking, inverter backup power, and good natural ventilation over room size. A well-designed 650 sq ft 2BHK with proper cross-ventilation and covered parking will rent faster and for more than a poorly designed 800 sq ft unit. We factor this into every Electronic City brief.
BBMP Setback Requirements
| Plot Size | Front Setback | Rear Setback | Side (each) | Max Floors |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20×30 (600 sq ft) | 3.0 m | Nil | Nil | G+1 |
| 30×40 (1,200 sq ft) | 3.0 m | 1.5 m | Nil | G+2 |
| 30×50 (1,500 sq ft) | 3.0 m | 1.5 m | 1.0 m | G+2 |
| 40×60 (2,400 sq ft) | 4.5 m | 3.0 m | 1.5 m | G+3 |
Vastu for Electronic City Homes
Even in a high-density rental market, Vastu compliance matters — particularly for owner-occupied floors and for resale value. Electronic City Phase 1 plots are predominantly east-facing in the Neeladri Nagar and Konappana Agrahara grids.
| Room | East-Facing (Phase 1 standard) | North-Facing |
|---|---|---|
| Main Entrance | East (ideal) | North (ideal) |
| Master Bedroom | SW corner | SW corner |
| Kitchen | SE corner | SE corner |
| Puja / Prayer | NE corner | NE corner |
| Living Room | North or East | North or East |
| Children's Room | West or NW | West or NW |
| Staircase (rental bldg) | South or Southwest | South or SW |

Electronic City was merged into BBMP in 2016. However, the transition has been uneven — some plots in Phase 1 are under BBMP Ward 191 or 192, while some peripheral areas in Phase 2 and Bommasandra may still follow GP norms. Always verify your plot's jurisdiction before applying. We confirm this as part of every initial consultation.
Common residential sizes are 20×30 (600 sq ft), 30×40 (1,200 sq ft), 30×50 (1,500 sq ft), and 40×60 (2,400 sq ft). Neeladri Nagar and Kudlu have some larger 50×80 plots. Corner plots are common in the grid-layout sectors.
A 2BHK (800–1,000 sq ft) in Electronic City Phase 1 rents for ₹18,000–₹26,000/month. Phase 2 properties command slightly less: ₹15,000–₹22,000/month. Proximity to Infosys, Wipro, and HCL campuses drives consistent demand for 1BHK and 2BHK units year-round.
For a 30×40 plot, a G+2 with 2BHK on each floor is the most popular — typically generating ₹45,000–₹65,000/month gross. For a 40×60 plot, 2×2BHK per floor across G+3 can generate over ₹1.3 lakhs/month. We design with maximised carpet area and minimised common area as the primary brief for rental-focused buildings here.
Our BTM Layout office is approximately 12–14 km from Electronic City Phase 1 via the Elevated Expressway. Travel time is 25–40 minutes. We regularly work on projects in Electronic City and provide free on-site plot inspection and consultation.
