Godrej MSR City as a tenant today. Phase 1 (Barca I) is scheduled for possession in December 2030 and Phase 2 (Barca II) in 2031, and between them the two phases will put 2,563 apartments into one corridor within about a year of each other. That number shapes everything a tenant or landlord should expect from rentals here.
This guide covers the apartment configurations, what rent could look like, what drives it, how the location helps tenants, and how Phase 3 (Barca III) may change the picture. It also states clearly which numbers are confirmed and which are estimates.
Can You Rent at Godrej MSR City Today
Godrej MSR City is under construction, with Phase 1 sold out and Phase 2 selling limited 3 BHK inventory. Tenants searching today are really looking at two things: rentals in the surrounding Shettigere and Devanahalli belt, and the rental market that will form once the towers are handed over.
For a feel of the locality before then, the Shettigere location guide covers the neighbourhood, schools, hospitals and daily conveniences around the project.
Apartment Configurations in Godrej MSR City
The size mix is the main reason this project interests tenants. Every unit is larger than a typical rental flat in the city.
| Configuration | Super built-up area | Starting price | Rental angle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK | 1,186 to 1,314 sq.ft. | ₹1.18 Cr* (sold out) | Entry rental unit, strongest demand from small families and couples |
| 3 BHK (2T) | 1,585 to 1,626 sq.ft. | ₹1.79 Cr* onwards | Family rental with a study or guest room |
| 3 BHK (3T) | 1,842 to 1,876 sq.ft. | ₹1.99 Cr* onwards | Largest plan, aimed at senior professionals and joint families |
All units are Vaastu-compliant, and the towers are built to a 2 Basement + Ground + 15 Floors template with passenger and service lifts in every block. Because 2 BHK inventory is sold out in the primary market, future 2 BHK rentals will come only from investors and owners who already hold units.
What Rent Could Look Like
Market expectations for the project sit at roughly ₹35,000 per month for a 2 BHK and up to ₹55,000 for a 3 BHK, including maintenance. These are indicative figures, not quoted listings, because no unit can be let before possession.
The arithmetic is worth running. If an owner of a Phase 2 3 BHK (2T) bought at ₹1.79 Cr* and rented at ₹55,000, the gross annual rent is ₹6.6 lakh, a gross yield of about 3.7%. At ₹1.99 Cr* for the larger 3 BHK, the same rent gives about 3.3%.
| Scenario | Purchase price | Assumed monthly rent | Gross yield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 BHK | ₹1.18 Cr* | ₹35,000 | about 3.6% |
| 3 BHK (2T) | ₹1.79 Cr* | ₹55,000 | about 3.7% |
| 3 BHK (3T) | ₹1.99 Cr* | ₹55,000 | about 3.3% |
These yields are gross, before tax, maintenance, vacancy and stamp duty. A rental yield of this order is typical of Bengaluru's premium apartments. The return for an investor leans more on capital appreciation over the holding period than on rent alone.
Factors That Decide Rent
Rent in a township like this will follow a handful of variables.
Size comes first. Carpet and super built-up area drive the base rent, and with every unit above 1,100 sq.ft., the project sits in the larger-home bracket.
Floor, view and tower position come next. Units facing the green zone or the central landscaped areas will likely command a premium over those facing the periphery.
Furnishing matters as well. A fully furnished flat in an airport-corridor township appeals to relocating professionals and usually earns more than a bare shell.
Supply timing may be the biggest factor of all. When Phase 1 and Phase 2 hand over close together, many owners will list at once. Early listings could be competitive on price, and rents may settle only as the community fills.
Location Benefits for Tenants
The corridor suits tenants whose work is in the airport and aerospace belt.
| Destination | Distance | What it means for a tenant |
|---|---|---|
| Kempegowda International Airport | 9 km (about 10 min) | Short airport run for aviation staff and frequent flyers |
| KIADB Aerospace Park | 6 km | Closest large employer cluster |
| Devanahalli Tech Park | 6 km | Short daily commute |
| Prestige Tech Cloud | 7.4 km | Reachable office option |
| IFCI Financial City | 10.1 km | Finance and services jobs |
| Doddajala Metro Station (Blue Line) | 2.4 km | Future metro access when the line opens |
| Manyata Tech Park | 21.2 km | Possible, but a long daily commute |
The Blue Line had reached about 72% construction by August 2026, with the airport corridor targeted for phased opening through 2027, according to Business Today. When Doddajala opens, tenants who work along the line gain a second way to commute. You can see the full route picture on the map and location guide.
Amenities Tenants Can Expect
The master plan includes 5 clubhouses, over 60 amenities, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a yoga pavilion, a mini theatre, a sports deck, a jogging track, a cycling track, a pet park, a creche, a senior citizen deck and 24/7 CCTV with intercom. Security, 100% power backup for common areas and elevators, and rainwater harvesting are part of the specifications.
Whether tenants get full access to clubhouse facilities usually depends on the owner's arrangement and the association's rules, so it is worth confirming before signing a lease.
Phase 3 (Barca III) and What It Means for Renters
Phase 3 is the next phase in the master plan. It is in pre-launch, with expressions of interest open. Area, towers, unit count, pricing and launch date are all yet to be announced.
| Phase | Area | Towers | Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1 (Barca I) | 19 acres | 31 towers | 1,961 units |
| Phase 2 (Barca II) | 8.4 acres | 8 towers | 602 units |
| Phase 3 (Barca III) | To be announced | To be announced | To be announced |
Phase 1 launched in April 2025 and is sold out. Phase 2 launched in June 2025 and is selling.
Here is what can be worked out. Phases 1 and 2 cover 27.4 acres of the 62-acre township. The remaining land holds the 20-acre green zone, the planned tech park and retail mall, and the later phases. Godrej Properties has said substantial inventory remains for future phases, with a developable area of about 5.6 million sq.ft. across the project, as reported when Phase 1 sold over ₹2,000 Cr.
Phase 3 can pull rental demand in two directions.
- More supply. Another large phase means more apartments reaching the rental market later in the decade, which can cap rent growth.
- More demand drivers. A tech park and retail mall inside the township would create jobs and daily conveniences on site, making the project more attractive to tenants.
The honest summary is that Phase 3 is a variable, not a promise. Track it on the latest news and project updates page.
Tips for Tenants
Read the lease terms closely. Bengaluru leases are commonly 11 months, with a refundable deposit equal to several months of rent. Confirm whether maintenance is included in the quoted rent, because bands often include it but agreements differ.
Check the possession status of the tower you are interested in, and the owner's proof of ownership. For a project this large, ask how parking is allotted, because designated parking is part of the project's pricing.
Drive the commute to your workplace at the hours you would actually travel. The airport belt is close, but the highway slows at peak hours.
The Honest Gap
- Actual rents. No unit has been handed over, so the ₹35,000 to ₹55,000 band is an expectation and not a recorded rent.
- Deposit and lease norms. Terms will be set by individual owners and are not published for the project.
- Metro opening at Doddajala. The corridor is targeted for phased opening through 2027, but the date for the station nearest the project is not confirmed.
- Phase 3 (Barca III). Size, timing and pricing are not announced.
- Clubhouse access for tenants. Not specified in the project information.
Verdict for Tenants
Tenants who work in the airport, aerospace or Devanahalli belt get larger homes, a gated township and a green setting, with a metro line on the way. Waiting for handover is the real cost, since no rental inventory exists before 2030. Until then, look at rentals in the surrounding locality.
Verdict for Investors and Landlords
A rental yield of roughly 3.3% to 3.7% gross is modest, so this is a capital appreciation play with rental income as support. The opportunity is demand from airport and aerospace staff once the metro opens. The risk is clustered handovers and a possible Phase 3 adding supply, which could soften early rents. Plan for a long hold and a furnished unit to stand out.
RERA and Approvals
The project is registered with Karnataka RERA. Phase 1 carries PRM/KA/RERA/1250/303/PR/010425/007644 and Phase 2 carries PR/300625/007887. Both can be verified on the K-RERA portal. The project also holds BIAAPA planning approvals and a clear land title.
