Invest in Richmond Town

Cantonment Heritage Premium

Richmond Town captures the soul of cantonment-era Bangalore. The streets are leafy, the bungalows are heritage-listed in many cases, and the community has a distinct Anglo-Indian and Parsi character. Churches, boutique hotels, and a walkable coffee-culture scene make it one of the most charming luxury enclaves in the city.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything investors ask before putting money into Richmond Town.

What is special about Richmond Town?

It's one of the last pockets of Bangalore that still retains its cantonment-era character — heritage bungalows, leafy streets, and a distinctive Anglo-Indian/Parsi community presence. Combined with CBD proximity, it offers a rare heritage-plus-walkability profile.

Are heritage properties in Richmond Town easily available?

No — inventory is very thin and most transactions are off-market. Heritage bungalow plots that do trade usually close in the ₹25-80 crore range depending on plot size and frontage.
