MY TAKE         
When it comes to the listed real estate companies in India, the first names that come up are Unitech, DLF, Godrej, Indiabulls, etc. When it comes to Bangalore, people often think of Sobha, Prestiage, etc. Brigade is mostly ignored(which is great for a potential multibagger).         

Starting out as a local Bengaluru company that builds offices and apartments, Brigade has steadily, logically and aggressively transformed itself into a multi-dimensional company with expertise, and a strategic presence in various adjacent areas of the real estate world. This company has potential to become a massive and highly profitable business organization over the next 3 - 5 years; A dark horse in this sector.   

A high potential multibagger!!            

Disclosure: I own shares in Brigade Enterprises.  
Brigade Enterprises is the first real estate company that I own (mostly I stay away from this sector).
