Whitefield's meaning in Hindi is (White + Field), where “Field” is referred to as maidan or bhumi, and “White” is named after David White, who was an early European settler in the area.
Whitefield was founded in the year 1882 by a British official named David White. Whitefield was originally a small settlement, and it was created with a focus on creating a self-sustaining area for British emigrants.
Whitefield was primarily an agricultural area, and it had a mix of British-style houses. After the independence of India in 1947, the British emigrants left the area, and Whitefield remained a quiet area for decades. After the 1990s, a significant transformation took place in the area as a lot of IT hubs started to develop. After the IT boom, Whitefield became a major IT hub, and now it is a prime area of Bangalore.
After the IT boom, real estate developments also started to grow at a rapid rate in the area. Properties are always in demand in the area due to the growing population that moves here in search of jobs. To meet the growing demand, reputed builders are building a lot of premium projects, which are preferred by the people of Whitefield.

The size of the luxury units in this new project ranges from 650 to 1900 sq ft. This luxury project hosts the best flats of modern designs with high resale value and a good rental income.
Whitefield is the best area to invest in because of ITPL, which is one of the oldest IT firms in Bangalore, with a lot of job offers. It is also known for its best shopping areas, schools, hospitals, and malls.
