Important landmark around Whitefield.
Click the image to view large map and important locations.

One of my friend in US asked me where is Brigade Metropolis? Can I get the direction from M.G Road in Google map? Unfortunately street names are not well defined and organized in India and that can be one of the reason why you don't get street directions from one location to another (as you get in US google map). However when I did further R&D I got a high level map on Google.

I have numbered important locations in and around Whitefield area.
  1. Brigade Metropolis
  2. Prestige Shantiniketan apartments, The Commercial Cresent, The Forum Mall, and The Radison Hotel.
  3. ITPL - Lot of IT companies and call centers
  4. Baiyappanahalli Metro station - This will be the terminal station and will provide connectivity to S-W Railway Station.The red coloured line is the proposed Metro route.
  5. K R Puram Station - Small railway station - Lot of trains to Chennai has stoppage at this station. If developed can ease the decongestion at other main railway stations.
  6. Whitefield Railway station - Lot of trains to North has stoppage at this station. It's a small railway station but it's greatly under utilized. Lot of potential to ease traffic from Bangalore City and Yeshwantpur Railway station.
  7. Brigade International School, Xylem, Bhoruka Park, DLF Technopolis - Lot of offices and Malls coming at this location.
  8. Lot of MNCs and IT companies - TCS, TESCO, Sapient, Perot Systems, L&T Infotech.
  9. Gopalan Millenium Tower, i-flex Solution office (now Oracle Financial Services), Habitat Splendour Apartment.
  10. Golden Star apartment
  11. Kemp Forte Mall, Famous Shiva and Ganesh jee statues.
  12. Old HAL Airport.
  13. Notorious Marathahalli Bridge - There was a time when it used to take 30-45 min to cross 1 KM during peak hours. Traffic got slightly better with the new Bridge.Factory outlets - Puma, Nike, Titan, Reebok,Samsonite, Lee, Woodlands, Proline, Peter England and many other discount stores. Biggest challenge is lack of parking space and weekends can be nightmare.
  14. Purva FountainSquare, Rohan Vasantha, Purva Rivera - Close to 3000 apartments near Marathahalli Bridge. Impact of traffic from these buildings will be known once people starts living in those apartments.
  15. Akme Ballet, Soul Space arena mall.
  16. Sai Baba Ashram and Golden Blossom apartment
  17. Sathya Sai General Hospital (SSSGH) - The first time when I saw this building I thought this is a palace. Lot of MNCs.
  18. Ryan International School, iGate, Manhattan Associates, SAP labs,
  19. Knightsbridge apartment, Future Group Cosmos Mall in brookfield.
  20. Diamond District, Reuters, Manipal Hospital, Leela palace Kempinski on Airport road. This is one of the busiest road and during rush hours traffic moves at snail pace.
  21. Embassy Business Park - Office of iflex solutions, Juniper Networks, Motorola, Texas Instruments, BEML (They are the ones making coaches for Metro)
