ARATT Alchemy One

ARATT Alchemy One has its front gate on Old Madras Road, the corridor that carries traffic from the city's east out towards Hoskote, with Brigade Exotica as its immediate neighbour. From here the working destinations are KR Puram, Whitefield and Indiranagar, all reached by road. The developer has not published distances or drive times to any of them, so none are quoted here; test the run to your own office at the hour you would actually leave.

Daily life on this stretch does not depend on the car. Schools, hospitals and shopping have grown up along the road and in KR Puram, so the school run and the weekly grocery trip are short. Within the tower itself there are retail spaces at ground level, which for a single-tower project means the corner-shop errands may not leave the compound at all.

Two things to check on a visit. First, how the tower's entry and exit meet a busy arterial road at peak hours, and whether there is a service lane or a signal. Second, the noise on the road-facing side, because a 23-floor tower beside a highway hears traffic differently on the fifth floor and the twentieth. Ask which units face the road and which face inward before you pick a floor.

ARATT Alchemy One has three layouts on sale, and the sizes here are built-up area; carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them in writing. The two-bedroom plan is about 951 sq ft and is the entry point at Rs. 94.1 Lakhs. The three-bedroom homes come in two sizes, about 1,460 sq ft from Rs. 1.44 Crore and about 1,482 sq ft from Rs. 1.46 Crore.

Divide price by size and all three plans land at about Rs. 9,900 per sq ft, so the choice between them is about how much space you need. The published range tops out at Rs. 1.46 Crore, but in a 23-floor tower the same plan costs more higher up, so a top-floor 3 BHK will exceed the starting figure.

Because the project is complete, a home that has its occupancy certificate is sold without GST. Stamp duty and registration are due on every purchase, and on a finished flat the transfer goes through a sale deed rather than an agreement to sell. Before you compare this tower with anything else on Old Madras Road, get a cost sheet that shows:

• The base price and whether it is charged on built-up or super built-up area
• Floor-rise and facing charges for the specific unit
• Car parking, with the number of bays included
• Clubhouse membership, maintenance deposit and the monthly charge
• Written confirmation that no GST applies to your unit
• Stamp duty and registration on the full consideration

ARATT Alchemy One lists no RERA registration number from the developer for this project. Ask ARATT Developers for it and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA portal at rera.karnataka.gov.in. On a completed project the entry also tells you whether the promoter has filed the completion and occupancy certificates, which is the document your whole purchase turns on.

With handover under way since December 2025, you are buying a finished home and should be given the papers that go with one. Ask for:

• The occupancy certificate for the tower
• The sanctioned building plan with your unit marked on it
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 1.3 acres at Survey No. 36/1
• Khata in the developer's name, plus the latest property-tax receipt
• A draft sale deed, since a completed home is registered on a sale deed
• The owners' association formation papers, if residents have already moved in

If the unit you want is one the developer has not yet had certified, treat it as under construction and take an agreement for sale with a handover date instead. At registration you receive the sale deed; after it, have the khata transferred into your name and keep the tax receipts running from the date of the deed.

ARATT Alchemy One is one tower on 1.3 acres, which tells you the ground plan: a slim footprint, and the rest of the plot for the pool, the courts, the gardens and the clubhouse. The developer has not published the open-space share, so ask for the sanctioned plan and set the built area against the rest. Images of the grounds are renders as planned by the developer unless the sales team confirms each facility is open, which for a finished project should be a simple yes.

A weekday might start with a lap of the jogging track or a session in the gymnasium, then a walk to the co-working space on the days you are not going into the office. Children have a play area of their own and the sports courts after school. The pool is where the evening ends in the warmer months, and the landscaped gardens fill the gap between dinner and bed.

Weekends bring out the rest of the list. The indoor games area covers a wet afternoon, the multipurpose party area takes the birthdays, and the amphitheatre is the venue for the society's own events. Retail spaces on the site handle the small purchases. With 162 households served by one tower core, ask how many lifts run and what the maintenance charge covers, since a shared pool and clubhouse are only as good as the budget that keeps them running.
