Overview
Godrej Athena is a premium low-rise apartment project by Godrej Properties off HAL Old Airport Road, in the Jagadish Nagar/New Thippasandra pocket between Indiranagar and Kaggadasapura in East Bangalore. It was launched in January 2023, making it one of the older projects in this batch — most of its construction timeline is already well underway rather than just starting.
Location & Connectivity
Listings tag the address inconsistently — some as “Indiranagar,” others as “Kaggadasapura” — which reflects the fact that this stretch off HAL Old Airport Road genuinely sits on the boundary between the two localities rather than any error. Either way, it’s close to Indiranagar’s commercial belt, HAL Old Airport Road, and the ORR tech corridor via Marathahalli, making it a reasonable IT-commute location without being deep in a growth corridor the way most newer North and East Bangalore launches are.
Project Specifications
- Configuration: 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 BHK, sized roughly 1,294-2,050 sq ft depending on configuration
- Total units: reported as either 300 or 330 depending on the source — a modest gap, likely just a difference in whether commercial/amenity units are counted
- Land area: 6.5-6.52 acres
- Launched: January 2023
One thing worth flagging for anyone comparing brochures: the building configuration is described very differently across sources — as low as 3 towers, as high as 17, with one listing specifying “low-rise blocks of G+B+4.” The most likely explanation is that this is a low-rise, multi-block layout where different aggregators count either the formal tower/wing groupings or the individual G+4 blocks, rather than any real discrepancy in what’s being built. If the exact block/tower layout matters for your specific unit (view, distance from amenities, etc.), get the master plan from Godrej’s sales office rather than relying on any single portal’s tower count.
Pricing
Starting prices are quoted between Rs 2.32 crore and Rs 3.35 crore, with one source citing an entry price closer to Rs 2.55 crore. 2 BHK units (1,294-1,383 sq ft) and 3 BHK units (1,710-2,050 sq ft) make up most of the mix.

RERA & Compliance
Athena is registered under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/090123/005605, which decodes to a 9 January 2023 registration — a clean match with the project’s reported January 2023 launch. Possession is targeted for January 2028.
A Few Honest Notes
This is now a three-year-old launch rather than a brand-new one, so if you’re buying today you’re buying into a project that’s roughly halfway through its construction timeline rather than at ground-floor pricing — check current construction status and resale/secondary listings alongside the builder’s own price sheet, since resale inventory is already showing up on portals. The unit-count and tower-count discrepancies across sources are worth a direct confirmation with Godrej’s sales team before you commit to a specific unit, but they don’t point to anything wrong with the project itself — Godrej Properties has a long, well-documented track record in Bangalore and this is a RERA-registered, actively-marketed project with consistent core numbers (acreage, RERA ID, price band) across every source checked.
Verdict
Athena is a reasonable fit for a buyer who wants a Godrej-brand project with genuine central-East-Bangalore access (Indiranagar-adjacent) rather than a growth-corridor bet, and who’s comfortable buying roughly three years into a project’s construction cycle rather than at launch. It sits in a noticeably smaller, more centrally located footprint than most other Godrej Bangalore launches covered on this site, which is the main trade-off to weigh against the higher per-sqft cost that comes with that location.
Nearby Comparables
Century Regalia, Indiranagar/Domlur (covered separately) sits in the same general central-East-Bangalore pocket at a considerably higher price point, and Godrej Woodscapes, Budigere Cross and Godrej MSR City (Barca), Devanahalli — both already covered on this site — show what the same builder is offering at growth-corridor locations further out, for comparison on price and positioning.
