Kadugodi Metro Effect on Property Prices near Brigade Autograph

The Kadugodi metro effect on property prices is the change in home demand, prices and rents around the Whitefield (Kadugodi) end of the Purple Line since 2023. Research firms ANAROCK and Colliers have tied rising activity in Whitefield and KR Puram to the line. Brigade Autograph, a 21-acre township by Brigade Group on Whitefield–Kadugodi Road at Konadasapura, is 6.2 km from Kadugodi Metro Station. It was first marketed as Brigade Granada and now carries its RERA-registered name.
