Century Real Estate Unveils The Astoria, a 334-Home Project in Jakkur, North Bengaluru

What happened

On 10 October 2026, Century Real Estate formally introduced The Astoria, its premium residential development in Jakkur on International Airport Road. The project sits inside Century Immencity, a mixed-use township the company announced in June 2026.

The Astoria was first pre-launched in July 2026 under the codename Bluemoon. The company describes the formal launch under The Astoria identity as the next phase of the development. The release does not state a launch price.

Maninder Chhabra, Director – Sales, Marketing & CRM at Century Real Estate, said the pre-launch response showed ‘a strong sense of the depth of demand for thoughtfully conceived premium residences in North Bengaluru’. He said homebuyers engaged before the formal launch, weighing long-term relevance over immediate features. The company attributes the bookings, which it says have passed ₹550 crore, to strong interest from Bengaluru’s elite circles. These are company statements; we found no independent comment on demand.

The project

• Homes: 334 residences, described by the company as an intentionally limited collection.
• Layout: five towers according to the company release. One review of the project lists four towers, so the count should be checked against approved plans.
• Land and open space: about 6 acres, with around 75% open space and a clubhouse of about 40,000 sq ft.
• Homes mix: large-format 3-bedroom, 4-bedroom and penthouse residences, with access to the wider Century Immencity ecosystem of commercial, hospitality, retail and cultural uses.
• Design approach: the company calls its Neo Luxe concept an approach built on privacy, purpose and design, citing spatial planning, natural light and cross ventilation.
• Master plan: the township’s master planning is credited to BDP, London.

Unit sizes and prices vary across published listings and are not stated in the company release, so this article does not give a size range or price.

Township and location context

Century Immencity was announced in June 2026 as a 50+ acre mixed-use development on the airport corridor. The company says it spans about 11 million sq ft and is planned as a five-district destination with homes, offices, hospitality, retail and food and beverage. It plans close to 10 million sq ft of commercial development, and at maturity expects the district to support over one lakh professionals. These are company projections.

The company cites airport-led development, expanding commercial activity, NH-44 connectivity and upcoming Metro infrastructure as growth drivers for North Bengaluru. The Blue Line metro is planned to run along NH-44 through Jakkur and Yelahanka to Airport Road.

Metro timing has moved. Deccan Herald reports that the full 58.19 km Blue Line to Kempegowda International Airport is now expected only by March 2028. The report quotes the minister saying the Hebbal–airport link would open by September or October 2027. The article in our copy is undated, so these dates should be checked against later official statements.

About the developer

Century Real Estate Holdings Private Limited was founded in 1973 by Dr P Dayananda Pai and Shri P Satish Pai. P. Ravindra Pai is named Managing Director in the company’s June 2026 Century Immencity announcement. The company says it holds over 3,000 acres of land and a development portfolio of over 25 million sq ft. Notable earlier projects it lists include Manipal Centre, Taj Residency, Vijaya Bank Headquarters and Diamond District.

Published details that conflict

• Unit sizes: one project listing gives 1,357 to 4,713 sq ft; a RERA-based summary gives 2,175 to 2,605 sq ft. We have not confirmed either range.
• Starting price: listings give different figures (Rs 4.25 crore onwards; Rs 3.85 crore for a 3 BHK; a Rs 17,500 figure with no unit basis). The company release gives no price.
• Possession: marketing sites give 2030 in one case and a 2031 completion date in another.
• Launch date: one project site gives 1 February 2026, which conflicts with the July 2026 pre-launch and October 2026 formal introduction.
• RERA status: the project is listed on marketing sites with Karnataka RERA registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/160526/008662, registered as Century Astoria. An earlier review said RERA status was not confirmed. Verify on the Karnataka RERA portal.
• Open space: the company release says around 75%; a project site says about 76%.

What it means for buyers, investors and the market

For buyers, the main points are the size of the project, the family-sized homes and the township context. Buyers should confirm RERA registration, approved plans, the unit size and price basis, and the possession date directly with the developer and the regulator before committing, given the conflicts listed above.

For investors and the wider market, the project is a test of demand for large homes in North Bengaluru along the airport corridor. The company says the response ‘reinforces our confidence in the market’. We found no independent market data on Jakkur prices or sales pace.

What comes next

• The company describes the formal launch as the next phase of the development. It has not announced dates for further phases or sales.
• No dated township milestones beyond the Metro timeline have been published.
• Possession timing is unresolved between sources (2030 or 2031).
• The Blue Line timeline reported by Deccan Herald, including a full opening by March 2028, will affect airport-corridor access.
