 Devanahalli taluk previously called Devanadoddi, Devanapura, and Yusufabad is located 39 kilometres from Bangalore city’s central business district. Circa 1501, Mallabhaire Gowda of Avati is said to have built a fort with the consent of `Deva' a feudatory at Devanadoddi and changed the name of the place to the Devanahalli. The legendary ruler, Tipu Sultan was born in Devanahalli in 1750 AD. A signboard and a stone tablet surrounded by fields proclaim the birthplace of Tipu.
Located east of the Bangalore-Hyderabad national highway (NH7), Devanahalli is the site of the newly constructed Bengaluru International Airport, the second largest in India. BIAL’s vision is to develop the prime property adjacent to the airport called ‘airport city’ as a destination in itself and create a premier business, retail and entertainment hub. The Airport City will be connected to the proposed high-speed rail link (MRTS) and the road expressway from the city center. A new satellite ring road will connect Devanahalli with Doddaballapur. Total infrastructure development in the area is estimated to be well over US $30 Billion over the next two years. With significant commercial and residential development in the area, real estate is in high demand in the region.
