A leading Bengaluru-based developer has initiated a citywide teaser campaign ahead of a major launch in Jakkur, signalling intensifying competition in North Bengaluru’s emerging residential corridor.
Century Real Estate has deployed a series of out-of-home (OOH) installations across high-traffic stretches in the city, offering limited visual cues about its forthcoming project. Rather than disclosing specifications, pricing or timelines, the campaign uses partial imagery and suggestive messaging to generate curiosity a strategy increasingly adopted in premium urban housing markets where brand positioning plays a central role. The teaser marks the first formal indication of the company’s plans in Jakkur, a micro-market that has gained traction due to its proximity to the Kempegowda International Airport corridor, Hebbal’s commercial district and upcoming infrastructure upgrades. North Bengaluru has witnessed sustained land aggregation and new project announcements over the past three years, driven by improved road connectivity and technology park expansion. Marketing analysts note that the shift toward experiential advertising reflects a maturing buyer demographic. “Today’s urban consumer is exposed to global design narratives and lifestyle branding,” said a Bengaluru-based property consultant. “Campaigns are increasingly about storytelling and identity rather than square footage alone.”
The creative format used in the Jakkur teaser presents narrow visual frames offering only glimpses of social, retail or leisure settings without revealing master plans or architectural details. Industry observers say such strategies are designed to spark recall and conversation before formal project disclosures, particularly in segments targeting aspirational upper-mid and luxury buyers. North Bengaluru’s growth trajectory has been shaped by infrastructure investments, including arterial road expansion, metro connectivity plans and proximity to employment clusters. Jakkur, once largely residential with plotted developments, is gradually evolving into a mixed-use neighbourhood attracting both end-users and investors. Real estate data from brokerage firms indicates that capital values in parts of North Bengaluru have appreciated steadily, supported by demand from technology professionals and airport-linked businesses. Urban planners, however, caution that marketing-driven momentum must align with civic readiness. As new large-scale developments emerge, adequate water supply, traffic management and environmental safeguards particularly around Jakkur Lake and surrounding green zones will be critical to sustaining long-term liveability. The teaser campaign precedes detailed announcements expected in the coming months. For Bengaluru’s property market, it signals continued developer confidence in North Bengaluru’s expansion arc, where infrastructure, employment access and evolving lifestyle expectations are reshaping residential demand patterns.
As competition intensifies, branding and narrative-building are becoming as integral to project strategy as land acquisition and construction reflecting a broader shift in how India’s metropolitan housing markets are positioning their next growth phase.
