About us — est. 1998
Solid ground.
a Bengaluru story
Terrafirma — literally, solid earth. Two firms, founded by Sudeep Chandran, that put a generation of institutions, industries and families on it.
The two firms
One founder,
two disciplines.
Terrafirma Developers & Promoters was founded in 1998 as a property broking firm that brought a new wave of professionalism to a sector that was not yet well organised. Through Terrafirma, Sudeep has structured large property transactions for MNCs and institutions — DuPont Pioneer, Monsanto, Hytech Seeds, MEP-OLBO, Fraser Techno Circuits and Isha Education — while managing repeat realty investments for HNIs from India and abroad.
We expanded into building solutions with the opening of Construction Associates in 2002, at the demand of our quality-conscious clients. Today CA designs and builds industrial, commercial and residential projects all across Bengaluru.
Terrafirma
Developers & Promoters — land aggregation, acquisition structuring and realty investment for institutions and HNIs. 350+ acres aggregated.
Construction Associates
Design & build — 300+ hi-tech industries, boutique apartments, commercial buildings and homes, with a fully independent interiors vertical.
The journey
Terrafirma is founded
Sudeep Chandran opens a property broking firm with an unusual promise for the time: institutional-grade professionalism.
Construction Associates opens
Quality-conscious clients ask the obvious question — "why don't you build it too?" The DuPont Pioneer land deal becomes our gateway into design & build.
Industrial scale
Mach Aero Phase 1 and the Hytech–Corteva–Monsanto research corridor at Doddaballapur establish CA in hi-tech industrial construction.
300+ projects, 100+ people
Mach Aero Phase 2 delivered sixteen years after Phase 1 — the kind of repeat trust we measure ourselves by. Four sites live across Bengaluru right now.
