Top 5 Upcoming Integrated Townships In Bengaluru

The integrated township model has taken community living to the next level. Being self-sustained gated communities, integrated townships are thoughtfully master-planned to provide an extraordinary lifestyle for homebuyers. Such properties mainly include residential and commercial spaces along with basic infrastructural facilities like schools and hospitals as well as vast open spaces. Mostly spreading over an expansive area, integrated townships are often seen on the city outskirts away from the hustle-bustle of the city centres.
