Brigade Calista at Budigere Cross: Buyer's Guide (October 2026)

Brigade Calista is an apartment project by Brigade Group at Bommenahalli Village, in the Budigere Cross belt of east Bangalore. Construction is under way in two RERA-registered phases, with Phase 1 due for completion in June 2027 and Phase 2 in December 2027. This guide covers who the project suits, the location, the homes and prices, the approvals and the checks to run before booking.

Brigade Calista at a Glance

The project is built as two phases of three towers each, on adjoining parcels of land. The main facts are listed below:

• Developer: Brigade Group (promoter: Brigade Enterprises Ltd)
• Phase 1: 506 homes in three towers of 17 to 18 floors on about 5.8 acres
• Phase 2: 481 homes in three towers of 18 floors on about 5.9 acres
• Home types: 1 BHK to 3 BHK, including 3 BHK homes with a study
• Starting price: Rs. 1.04 Crore for a 2 BHK
• RERA completion dates: 30 June 2027 (Phase 1) and 31 December 2027 (Phase 2)

Together, the two phases hold 987 homes in six towers on about 11.7 acres. Each phase has its own RERA number, so the phase of the chosen home decides its completion date.

Who the Project Suits

Brigade Calista suits families with a budget between Rs. 1 Crore and Rs. 2 Crore who want a new home from a listed developer and can wait until 2027. Buyers who want to watch a building rise, and choose a floor and facing before the towers are finished, also get that option. The short wait compared with newer launches in the belt is one of its main draws.

Households that need to move in within months may prefer a completed resale flat nearby. Those who want a small, low-rise community should weigh the scale, since close to 1,000 families will share the campus once both phases are complete.

Location and Address

Phase 1 of the project is located at Survey Nos. 163(p), 164, 165(p) and 166/1(p), Bommenahalli Village, Bidarahalli Hobli, Bengaluru East Taluk, pincode 560049. The taluk was earlier Hoskote, which is why older papers carry that name. The site faces Devanahalli Airport Road, beside the Saint Gobain plant and across the road from Brigade Buena Vista, a completed community by the same developer.

The road links to Old Madras Road at Budigere Cross, with KR Puram and the Outer Ring Road beyond it. Whitefield's offices are reached by road, and the peak-hour drive is worth timing before booking. Residents of Brigade Buena Vista are a good source of local knowledge on schools, shops and travel times.

Homes and Prices

Brigade Calista homes range from compact 1 BHK units to 3 BHK homes with a study. The three main layouts and their starting prices, on built-up area, are listed below:

• 2 BHK: about 1,197 sq ft, from Rs. 1.04 Crore
• 3 BHK: about 1,529 sq ft, from Rs. 1.44 Crore
• 3.5 BHK (3 BHK with a study): about 1,743 sq ft, from Rs. 1.75 Crore

The price per sq ft is about Rs. 8,700 on the 2 BHK, about Rs. 9,400 on the 3 BHK and about Rs. 10,000 on the 3.5 BHK. The RERA unit list also carries 1 BHK homes and 3 BHK homes with two bathrooms. Ask us for the latest price list for these layouts and for the floor-wise rates.

As an under-construction home, Brigade Calista attracts GST at 5% on top of the base price. In Karnataka, stamp duty is 5% plus surcharges for homes above Rs. 45 Lakhs, and the registration fee is 2%. Parking, clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit are usually charged as separate items.

Amenities

Brigade Calista amenities include a clubhouse with a gymnasium, a swimming pool and an indoor games room. Outside, there are sports courts, a jogging and skating track, a children's play area and landscaped gardens. A BBQ area, a party area and an amphitheatre serve gatherings, and retail spaces inside the campus handle daily needs.

In a phased project, some facilities open after the first residents move in. A written list of which amenities will be ready at the Phase 1 handover is worth asking for, along with the number of lifts in each tower.

RERA and Approvals

Brigade Calista is RERA approved, with PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/030223/005683 for Phase 1 and PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/220823/006195 for Phase 2. Phase 1 was registered in February 2023 and Phase 2 in August 2023. The building plan for Phase 1 was approved by the local planning authority in December 2022.

The declared completion date is 30 June 2027 for Phase 1, covering Towers D, E and F. For Phase 2, covering Towers A, B and C, it is 31 December 2027. Both numbers, and the quarterly progress filed for each phase, can be checked on the Karnataka RERA portal.

Checks Before Booking

With handover less than two years away for Phase 1, the focus moves from launch paperwork to progress on site. These checks cover the main points:

• Confirm which phase and tower the home belongs to, and its RERA completion date.
• Compare the latest quarterly progress report with what is visible on site.
• Ask for the carpet area of the chosen home, as RERA measures carpet, not built-up area.
• Get one cost sheet showing GST, floor rise, parking, clubhouse and deposits.
• Check that the remaining instalments follow construction milestones.
• Drive the route to the office at peak hours, starting from the project gate.
