Godrej Lakeside Orchard on Sarjapur Road: Buyer's Guide (October 2026)
Godrej Lakeside Orchard is a residential apartment project by Godrej Properties in Kodathi, off Sarjapur Road, East Bangalore. Construction is under way, and the registered completion date is 30 September 2030. This guide covers who the project suits, the location, the towers and home plans, prices, the RERA position and the checks before booking.
Who the Project Suits
The project is planned for families who work in the Sarjapur Road and Outer Ring Road office belt and want a new 2 or 3 BHK home from a national developer. Budgets between Rs. 1.8 Crore and Rs. 3 Crore match the plans on offer. The plans with an extra half-room suit households that need a study or a home office.
Payment runs in stages over about four years before the keys are handed over. Buyers who need a ready home, or whose budget is below Rs. 1.8 Crore, will find better matches elsewhere on the corridor.
Location and Connectivity
The exact location of Godrej Lakeside Orchard is Kodathi village, Varthur Hobli, Bengaluru East Taluk, pincode 560035. The site adjoins a lake, which gives the project its name. Kodathi is on Sarjapur Road beyond Carmelaram, on the way out to Dommasandra, and a large Wipro campus is in the same village.
Three things shape daily travel from this address:
- Sarjapur Road, the main route to the Outer Ring Road, Bellandur and Marathahalli, which is slow at peak hours
- Carmelaram railway station on the Bangalore to Hosur line, the nearest suburban rail stop
- The planned Phase 3A metro line from Sarjapur to Hebbal, which has an alignment along Sarjapur Road
The metro line is at the approval stage, so the purchase should make sense on today's roads. A weekday test drive to the office and back, at the usual hours, is the most useful hour a buyer can spend.
Towers, Homes and Open Space
The registered plan covers about 12 acres, with eight towers named A to H and 698 units. That works out to about 58 units an acre. About 68% of the land is open area, and the towers are approved by the Bangalore Development Authority.
The 698 units are made up of these types:
- 2 BHK with two bathrooms: 154 homes
- 3 BHK with two bathrooms: 140 homes
- 3 BHK with three bathrooms: 135 homes
- 3 BHK with a study and four bathrooms: 170 homes
- 3 BHK with a staff room and four bathrooms: 25 homes
- 2 BHK with a study and three bathrooms: 3 homes
- Single-room units with one bathroom: 71 units
Planned amenities include a clubhouse, a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a meditation and yoga zone, sports courts and a jogging track. An indoor games room, a spa and salon, an amphitheatre and a multipurpose hall with a lawn are also part of the plan. The plan provides 850 covered car parks and 78 open ones.

The price per sq ft is about Rs. 14,200 for the 2 BHK and about Rs. 12,700 to Rs. 13,100 for the larger plans, on built-up area. Carpet areas are smaller: the registered average is about 773 sq ft for the 2 BHK and about 1,360 sq ft for the 3 BHK with a study.
These costs are added to the starting price of a home under construction:
- GST on the agreement value
- Stamp duty and registration (in Karnataka, stamp duty above Rs. 45 Lakhs is 5% plus cess and surcharge, and registration is 2%)
- Floor-rise premiums and premiums for lake-facing homes
- Car parking, clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
On a Rs. 1.80 Crore home, stamp duty and registration come to about Rs. 13.7 Lakhs. Our EMI calculator gives the monthly instalment for the planned loan.

- Ask for the carpet area, tower, floor and facing of the exact home in writing
- Confirm which homes face the lake and what premium they carry
- Check the lake boundary and the buffer zone against the sanctioned plan
- Get a full cost sheet with GST, premiums, parking and maintenance shown separately
- Ask how many lifts and car parks serve the chosen tower
- Ask which amenities open with the first towers and which follow later
