NEW DELHI: Realty firm Godrej Properties today said it has entered into a new deal to develop a housing project at Bengaluru.

The proposed project will offer about 79,000 square metres (0.85 million sq ft) of saleable area.

"Godrej Properties, the real estate development arm of the Godrej Group, has entered into a new deal to develop a residential project at Whitefield in Bengaluru," the Mumbai-based developer said in a statement.

As with most Godrej Properties' projects, this project will be developed under a profit-sharing model.

"We are very happy to add a new residential project in Bengaluru. This is our eighth project in Bengaluru and second in Whitefield," said Godrej Properties Managing Director & CEO Pirojsha Godrej.

This development fits well with the company's strategy to strengthen portfolio in leading real estate markets, he added.

It also entered into a new deal to develop a residential project at Joka in south Kolkata. The proposed project will offer about 277,000 square metres (3 million sq. ft.) of saleable area.
