ARATT Alchemy One on Old Madras Road: Buyer's Guide (October 2026)

ARATT Alchemy One is a completed residential apartment project by ARATT Developers on Old Madras Road, East Bangalore. This guide covers what a buyer should know before choosing a home in the tower: the location, the home sizes and prices, the full cost of buying, the documents to collect and the checks to run first.

The Project at a Glance

ARATT Alchemy One is a single tower of 23 floors on a 1.3-acre plot, with 162 homes in 2 BHK and 3 BHK formats. Possession has been offered from December 2025 onwards, and ARATT Developers marked the completion of the tower with an inauguration in July 2026. The project is the first in the developer's Alchemy series, which continues with Alchemy Elixir in Electronic City and Alchemy Essence in the Hennur area.

The main facts about the project are these:

• Location: Survey No. 36/1, Old Madras Road, next to Brigade Exotica, Bangalore 560049
• Land area: 1.3 acres
• Structure: one tower of 23 floors
• Homes: 162 apartments in three plans
• Stage: completed, with possession from December 2025 onwards
• Starting price: Rs. 94.1 Lakhs for a 2 BHK

Who the Project Suits

A finished tower appeals most to buyers who want to move in soon rather than wait out a construction cycle of three or four years. ARATT Alchemy One suits working couples and small families with a budget of about Rs. 95 Lakhs to Rs. 1.5 Crore who commute to KR Puram, Whitefield or Indiranagar. It also suits owners who prefer a smaller community, since 162 households share one clubhouse and one set of amenities.

Buyers who want a large township with several towers, a 4 BHK, or a low-rise setting will find other formats along this road. A single tower also means the maintenance budget is shared among fewer homes, so the monthly charge is worth asking about early.

Location and Connectivity

The project is located on Old Madras Road, the corridor that carries traffic from the city's east towards Hoskote, with Brigade Exotica as its immediate neighbour. Shops, schools and hospitals along the road and in KR Puram are already in business, so daily needs do not depend on future growth. More about the corridor is on the Old Madras Road locality page.

The main destinations reached from the project are listed below:

• KR Puram, the nearest hub, with its railway station and metro station
• Whitefield, the IT and office district of East Bangalore
• Indiranagar, towards the city centre along Old Madras Road
• Marathahalli, on the Outer Ring Road office belt
• Kempegowda International Airport, in the north of the city

Old Madras Road is a busy arterial road at peak hours. A test drive from the gate to the office at the usual hour gives the truest picture of the daily commute.

Homes and Prices

ARATT Alchemy One offers three plans, all measured on built-up area. The 2 BHK is about 951 sq ft and starts at Rs. 94.1 Lakhs. The 3 BHK comes in two sizes, about 1,460 sq ft from Rs. 1.44 Crore and about 1,482 sq ft from Rs. 1.46 Crore.

The price per sq ft is about Rs. 9,900 on built-up area, and it is close to the same for all three plans at their starting figures. In a 23-floor tower, a higher floor or a better facing raises the price of the same plan, so a unit-wise price list is the useful document to ask for.

The Full Cost of Buying

A completed home that holds its occupancy certificate is sold without GST, which lowers the total cost compared with an under-construction purchase. Stamp duty and registration are still due: in Karnataka, a property above Rs. 45 Lakhs pays stamp duty of 5% plus surcharges, and the registration fee is 2%.

Several other charges usually come on top of the base price, so a written cost sheet should show each of them:

• Floor-rise and facing charges for the chosen unit
• Car parking, with the number of bays included
• Clubhouse membership and the corpus fund
• Advance maintenance and the monthly maintenance rate
• Electricity, water and gas connection deposits
• Stamp duty and registration on the full sale value

Amenities and Daily Life

ARATT Alchemy One has more than 25 amenities around a clubhouse built on a concierge living concept. The tower takes a slim footprint on the plot, which leaves space for the pools, courts and gardens. Retail spaces at ground level handle small daily errands.

The main facilities in the project include the following:

• Clubhouse with a gymnasium and an indoor games area
• Lap pool and toddler pool
• Co-working space, business lounge and reading library
• Yoga deck, jogging track and a multipurpose sports court
• Children's play area, landscaped gardens and an amphitheatre
• Multipurpose party area for family functions

The project also includes a water treatment plant, a sewage treatment plant, an organic waste converter and piped gas provision. These features help keep running costs in check for a single tower over the long term.

Documents to Collect

A finished home is bought on a sale deed, so the paperwork is the heart of the purchase. Buyers should ask ARATT Developers for the following documents before paying a booking amount:

• The occupancy certificate for the tower
• The sanctioned building plan with the chosen unit marked
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for Survey No. 36/1
• Khata in the developer's name and the latest property tax receipt
• The Karnataka RERA registration number, to be matched on the Karnataka RERA portal
• A draft sale deed and the owners' association papers

After registration, the khata is moved into the buyer's name, and the tax receipts run from the date of the sale deed. A bank financing the purchase will ask for the same set of documents.

About the Developer

ARATT Developers is a Bangalore developer with completed apartment projects across the city. Its Alchemy series began with Alchemy One on Old Madras Road and now includes projects in Electronic City and the Hennur area. Visiting a completed ARATT tower is a practical way to judge finish quality and how the common areas are kept.

Checks Before Buying

A ready home removes the risk of delay, but a few checks still make the decision clearer. These are the main ones:

• Inspect the exact unit for finish, seepage and fittings before agreeing on a price
• Ask which units face the main road and which face inward, since traffic noise differs by side and floor
• Confirm the carpet area of the unit in writing
• Ask how many lifts serve the tower and how the gate meets the main road at peak hours
• Get the monthly maintenance rate and what it covers
