Artemis Address Plots

Artemis Address Plots fronts, or lies just off, the main road that runs between Sondekoppa and Nelamangala, on the western edge of Bengaluru where the built-up city thins out. Nelamangala town is the nearest centre and the road you arrive by. The developer has not published a distance to it, or to any office, station, school or hospital, and has not given a pincode, so this page quotes none. Take a map pin from the sales team and drive the route at the hours you would use it.

Daily life at a plotted layout on the edge of town depends on what has reached it. Ask which services are in place today, water supply, power, drainage and street lighting, and which are still to come. Ask where the nearest grocery, clinic and school are and go and look, because a layout that is easy to reach at a weekend viewing can feel different on a Monday morning.

Watch the main road itself. A road that carries traffic between a town and the city will be busier at some hours than others, and a plot on the road edge will hear it. If you plan to build a home to live in, look at plots set back inside the layout; if you are buying to hold, the road frontage may matter less. Either way, ask how the layout is entered and whether that entrance is finished.

Artemis Address Plots sells land, not a home, so there is no floor plan; the house comes later, to your own design within setback and floor rules the developer has not yet published. Two plot sizes are on sale. The 30x40 plot gives 1,200 sq ft and is priced from Rs. 65 Lakhs to Rs. 70 Lakhs. The 30x50 plot gives 1,500 sq ft and is priced from Rs. 80 Lakhs to Rs. 86 Lakhs.

At the lower figure of each range that is about Rs. 5,400 per sq ft for the 30x40 and about Rs. 5,300 for the 30x50. The developer has not said what moves a plot to the top of its range; ask whether it is a corner, a wider road or a facing, and get the specific plot number priced in writing. Setbacks on every side will leave a buildable footprint well inside the plot area.

A plot registers on its land value, so stamp duty and registration are charged on the price of the land. Whether GST applies to the development work in a layout that is still being built is a question for the developer, in writing. Ask for a cost sheet that lists:

• The rate per sq ft and the plot's exact dimensions
• Any premium for a corner plot, road width or facing
• Development or infrastructure charges, if billed separately
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance charge, with its start date
• GST, if any, as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration on the sale deed

Artemis Address Plots is still without a RERA registration number on record. Ask Address Makers for it and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA portal at rera.karnataka.gov.in before you pay a booking amount. For a layout that is still being built, the registration is what commits the promoter to finishing roads, drains and services by a stated date.

Land carries its own paper trail, and on a plotted layout the list is longer than for a flat. Before you sign, ask for:

• The conversion order that changed the land from agricultural to residential use
• The layout approval from the planning authority, with your plot numbered on the approved drawing
• The release order that frees your plot for sale, since a share of the layout is normally held back until the developer's work is done
• Title documents for the parent land and an encumbrance certificate for the years the developer holds
• The khata for the parent land and the latest tax receipt
• A draft sale deed with the plot's dimensions and boundaries

Once the sale deed is registered, have the khata for your plot transferred into your name and start paying the property tax on it. Keep the approved layout plan and the release order with the deed. When you eventually apply for a building plan, or sell the plot, those are the documents the buyer or the authority will ask to see.

Artemis Address Plots cuts 22 acres into 30x40 and 30x50 plots, with the shared facilities grouped rather than scattered. Where the clubhouse and gardens go decides which plots are a short walk from them and which are on the boundary, so ask for the numbered layout drawing and find your plot on it. The developer has not published the open-space share or the plot count. Every image of the grounds is a render as planned by the developer, because the layout is still being built.

The shared life, once it opens, is built around a clubhouse. A morning could begin on the jogging track, move to the gymnasium and end in the swimming pool, with the sports courts for the evenings. Children have a play area of their own and the indoor games zone for the monsoon months. Family occasions go to the multipurpose party area, and the landscaped gardens are the everyday walk.

Two things are different about amenities in a plotted layout. First, they may open before most houses are built, so for a while the residents will be few and the facilities quiet. Second, their upkeep is charged to every plot owner whether or not a house stands on the plot, so ask for the expected maintenance charge and when it begins. Ask too for a written date for each facility, because the clubhouse is the part of a layout most often finished last.
