Prestige Group is an Indian real estate development company headquartered in Bangalore, founded by Razack Sattar in 1986. The story behind the company is distinctly Bengaluru: the group originated from a modest family-run retail business in textiles and garments established by Abdul Razack Sattar during the 1950s. By the mid-1980s, the family diversified into real estate amid Bangalore's emerging urban growth, formally founding Prestige Estates Projects Limited in 1986 with an initial seed capital of just 40,000 rupees.
As of June 2026, Prestige Group has completed 313-plus projects and delivered over 206 million sq. ft. across India, with its completed portfolio including 160 residential projects covering 139 million sq. ft. The firm operates across residential, commercial, retail, hospitality, and property management segments in 13 major cities, and was the first real estate developer to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification in Bangalore. Prestige Group is also the only developer with a CRISIL DA1+ rating for construction and development capabilities.
That institutional scale matters for a South Bangalore buyer. The southern quadrant has long been Prestige territory — from early residential work across the city to later large-format township projects and, more recently, a concentrated push along the Kanakapura Road and Bannerghatta Road corridors.
Prestige Forest Edge is a township by Prestige Group located on Kanakapura Road, South Bangalore. Spread across 8 acres with 80% open space, it features 1,110 premium flats in 1, 2, and 3 BHK unit types ranging from 660 to 1,770 sq. ft., spread across 6 high-rise towers rising to 2B+G+28 floors.
The project includes a 50,000 sq. ft. clubhouse and prices start at ₹71 lakhs onwards. The project is scheduled to launch in October 2025, with possession set for 31 October 2030.
The configuration mix is deliberate. The 1 BHK is the corridor's entry point into a Prestige-built home and the strongest pure-rental play in the project — compact, metro-corridor located, and the easiest unit to let to the young-professional tenant base that the Green Line and NICE Road connectivity attracts. The 2 BHK is the volume configuration for end-users — couples and small families who want a Grade-A home on a metro corridor without stretching to a 3 BHK ticket, and the most liquid resale configuration in South Bengaluru. The 3 BHK is the upgrade family home, with the larger living-dining footprint, a usable third bedroom for a study or guest room.
Prestige Forest Edge is located at Kanakapura Road, Bangalore South Taluk, Karnataka - 560062, and offers quick access to all areas via NICE Road. The project is very close to Uttarahalli Lake and opposite the Rajathadri Palace Hotel.
Prestige Forest Edge sits on Kanakapura Road — the south-western radial out of Bengaluru — on the urbanising stretch within the catchment of the corridor's operational metro stations and a short drive of the NICE Road interchange. This is the sweet spot of the corridor: far enough south to access larger, greener parcels and the open-space character that gives Forest Edge its name, but firmly inside the metro-served, infrastructure-rich band.
The Namma Metro Green Line runs to Silk Institute with five southern stations along Kanakapura Road, and the August 2025 opening of the Yellow Line (RV Road to Bommasandra) added a direct rail spine to the Electronic City belt. The NICE peripheral interchanges with Kanakapura Road, giving residents a signal-free route to Electronic City in roughly 20–25 minutes that bypasses the Silk Board junction, plus fast links to Mysore Road and Bannerghatta Road.
Malls near the project include Shoppers Stop, Royal Meenakshi Mall, Vega City Mall, and Gopalan Innovation Mall. The corridor retains a peaceful, green environment near Bannerghatta Park and Turahalli Forest, while also enjoying proximity to schools such as DPS South and hospitals including Apollo and Fortis.
Forest Edge is not the group's first or only investment in the southern quadrant. Prestige has assembled a cluster of projects across the south's primary corridors in recent years:
What these addresses share is deliberate corridor selection. Begur, Bannerghatta Road, Jigani, and Kanakapura Road are all within the southern arc of the city's infrastructure buildout — connected by the NICE Road ring, served or being served by metro, and within reach of Electronic City, one of India's largest IT employment clusters.
Previously a peaceful suburban stretch lined with farms, Kanakapura Road in South Bengaluru is now at the centre of a real estate shift — with swift infrastructure growth, widening metro connectivity, and an increased presence of established builders.
Kanakapura Road remains relatively priced compared to other Bengaluru routes, with flats ranging from ₹7,000 to ₹14,000 per sq. ft., providing a compelling entry for end-users and investors alike. Corridor flat rates have moved up around 15% in the past year, yet entry pricing remains below Whitefield and Sarjapur for comparable product.
In terms of price appreciation, flat rates in Kanakapura, Bangalore changed by 9.5% in the last year and 96.3% in the last five years. For a buyer choosing between Prestige projects across the city, this trajectory makes the south corridor a credible long-hold position — especially given that the metro and NICE Road infrastructure is already operational rather than projected.
Prestige Falcon City is among the highest-transaction projects on the Kanakapura Road corridor, signalling sustained secondary-market depth for the brand on this stretch. Forest Edge arrives on the same road at a pre-launch price point, giving buyers access to Prestige's planning standards before the project's full price discovery.
South Bangalore's residential market has several builders active on Kanakapura Road and Bannerghatta Road. What differentiates the Prestige proposition is institutional continuity: with record FY26 sales of ₹30,024 crore, the group is the only real estate firm in India with CRISIL DA1+ grading and holds a credit rating of ICRA A+. Those ratings are meaningful for a buyer in a pre-launch or under-construction project — they speak to financial capacity to complete.
Notable projects across the group's history include Prestige Shantiniketan, UB City, Prestige Golfshire, Prestige Acropolis, The Forum, Prestige Lakeside Habitat, and The Prestige City — each a large-format development that delivered on its scale at launch. South Bangalore buyers considering Forest Edge or any active Prestige project in the corridor are buying into a delivery record built across four decades in the same city.
