A Green Oasis in Urban Bengaluru
Nestled in Kodathi, off Sarjapur Road in Bengaluru, MANA Dale stands as a testament to eco-conscious design. Spanning 6.97 acres, this premium sanctuary of 3 & 4 bed homes, has over 300 trees, including six centenarian specimens that have stood witness to a century of change. These ancient guardians form the heart of MANA Dales ethos, embodying the projects deep-rooted connection to the earth and its commitment to preserving natural heritage.
Nature at the Core
The landscape architecture at MANA Dale goes beyond mere aesthetics. With 75% open space, the project prioritises green areas and natural landscapes, creating a living, breathing ecosystem that enhances biodiversity and promotes environmental stewardship. The projects design philosophy revolves around creating “forestscapes” – lush, verdant spaces that blur the lines between built environment and nature. These green corridors not only provide a habitat for local flora and fauna but also offer residents a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature in their daily lives.
A Testament to Sustainable Development
MANA Dales innovative approach to sustainable living is evident in every aspect of its design. The development utilises eco-friendly and locally sourced materials, reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the local economy. The layout is carefully planned to provide added privacy, with just four units per floor, ensuring a sense of exclusivity and tranquillity for residents.
MANA Dales design is meticulously crafted according to sun path and wind patterns, optimising natural light and ventilation to significantly reduce energy consumption. The incorporation of native plant species throughout the landscape ensures low maintenance and water-efficient green spaces that thrive in the local climate. This climate-responsive approach extends to the strategic placement of structures and amenities, maximising comfort while minimising environmental impact. The tallest tower in the vicinity, standing at an impressive 28 floors, offers breathtaking views while maintaining energy efficiency through its innovative design.
Innovative Amenities Embracing Nature
The award-winning landscape design also offers 110+ nature inspired amenities designed to enhance the living experience while embracing nature:
Meditation decks nestled among trees: Providing serene spots for relaxation and mindfulness.
Outdoor work pods blending productivity with nature: Allowing residents to work amidst natural beauty.
Skywalk bridge offering treetop views: Connecting different parts of the community with breathtaking views.

A Commitment to a Greener Future
This second consecutive win at the Asia Pacific Awards is a testament to MANA Dales unwavering commitment to sustainable development. It showcases how thoughtful design can create living spaces that not only preserve but enhance the natural environment, setting a new standard for eco-friendly urban living.
