Artisane

If you are researching Artisane as a home builder in Bangalore, the residential project on this page is Artisane Forest Breeze in JP Nagar. It is a small, completed apartment community in the south of the city, handed over in December 2017. All the homes have been sold, so today a flat here comes only through resale.

The Bengaluru firm, which used to trade as RPS Developers, is better known for office buildings than for housing. Forest Breeze is compact, with 75 homes on about 1.4 acres. The layouts are generous for the area: three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments, with no smaller units. That low density is part of the appeal for families who prefer fewer neighbours per floor.

Buying resale in a finished project shifts your checks from the builder to the seller. Ask for the original sale deed, the occupancy certificate, the khata and recent tax receipts, and confirm that the owners' association has no dues against the flat. Talk to residents about water supply, backup power and maintenance charges. A bank's legal opinion on the title is worth the small fee before you sign. Check the parking allotment in writing, as it is often a point of dispute in older buildings.

With only large layouts, Forest Breeze suits a family that wants space in an established part of JP Nagar. It also suits buyers who want to see a lived-in building before paying.
