Brookefield is a neighbourhood of Bangalore. It was established in the late 19th century as a settlement for Anglo-Indians living in the city. It is a wealthy area, with high real estate prices and relatively new commercial enterprises on roads such as ITPL road. Currently, it is a hub for IT professionals, students, young families, hoteliers and entrepreneurs. Brookefield is home to many cafes, hotels, IT parks, restaurants, retail stores, cultural associations, apartment complexes, showrooms and student accomodations.[1]
Many prominent IT companies like IBM, SAP and Accenture have opened offices here in IT parks such as International Tech Park Bangalore (ITPB) and Prestige Technostar. Tata Group also plans on constructing a sprawling office for its IT branch, Tata Consultancy Services [TCS].[2]
On 2nd March 2025, an IED bomb blast occurred in a popular South Indian restaurant, injuring 9 people.[3] Official investigations revealed that radicals and extremists could have been behind the cowardly attack.[4]
Brookefield, as with most other localities of Bengaluru, comes under the jurisdiction of the BBMP (Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike). A unique feature of Brookefield is that its residents often solve issues pertaining to potholes, pedestrian safety and civil infra via crowdfunding.[5][6]
