Who the Project Suits
The project suits a family with a budget of Rs. 3.35 Crore or more that wants a large apartment on the airport road. It works well for people employed around Hebbal, Manyata Tech Park and the northern stretch of the Outer Ring Road. Frequent flyers gain from the direct road to the airport.
The homes will be handed over towards the end of the decade, so buyers who need to move within a year or two should look at finished projects. L&T Raintree Boulevard, the developer's completed project on the same stretch of Bellary Road, is one such option on the resale market. Buyers who work in the south or the east of the city face a long daily commute from here.
Location and Connectivity
L&T Elara Celestia is located off Bellary Road, the national highway that links the city to Kempegowda International Airport. GKVK Road runs along the northern edge of the site, and the Phoenix Mall of Asia is next door on the southern side. Hebbal flyover and the Outer Ring Road are a short drive to the south.
The Blue Line of Namma Metro, from KR Puram to the airport through Hebbal, is under construction along Bellary Road. Once it opens, the stations on this stretch will give a rail link to the airport and to the Outer Ring Road offices. Until then, travel depends on the highway and its service roads.
Bellary Road is among the busiest roads in the city, and the Hebbal junction slows traffic towards the centre at peak hours. A trial drive to the workplace at the usual office hour shows the real commute. The mall next door also draws weekend traffic to the service road.
Homes and Sizes
L&T Elara Celestia floor plans cover six main layouts, from 3 BHK apartments to 5 BHK duplexes. The sizes are set out below.
| Home Type | Size (sq ft) | RERA carpet area (sq ft) |
|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK | 1,525 and 2,094 | 1,002 to 1,468 |
| 4 BHK | 2,757 and 3,155 | 1,838 to 2,113 |
| 4 BHK duplex | 3,735 | 2,490 to 2,534 |
| 5 BHK duplex | 4,931 | 3,287 to 3,727 |
Of the 634 registered homes, 466 are 3 BHK apartments and 144 are 4 BHK apartments. The duplexes are few, with seven 5 BHK homes and two 4 BHK homes. The remaining 15 are smaller one, two and three-bedroom units.
The three towers hold 208, 222 and 204 homes, with 16 to 18 homes on a typical floor. The registration provides 862 covered car parks in the two basements. Open space makes up about 74% of the land, since the towers cover 10,444 sq m of the 40,752 sq m site.
Prices and Other Costs
L&T Elara Celestia prices start at Rs. 3.35 Crore for the smaller 3 BHK and go up to Rs. 15 Crore for the largest duplex. The price per sq ft is about Rs. 22,000 on the 1,525 sq ft home. Higher floors and homes facing the GKVK campus usually carry a premium.
The costs to plan for above the base price are listed below.
- GST on an under-construction home
- Stamp duty of 5% plus cess and surcharge, which comes to 5.6% of the registered value
- Registration fee of 2%
- Floor rise and preferred location charges
- Clubhouse membership, maintenance deposit and corpus fund
A written cost sheet should show each of these as a separate line. The EMI calculator gives the monthly payment for the loan amount, and the stamp duty and registration are paid from the buyer's own funds.
Amenities
Amenities at L&T Elara Celestia centre on a rooftop clubhouse, registered at 2,351 sq m. The planned facilities include the following:
- Swimming pool
- Gymnasium
- Indoor and outdoor sports areas
- Creche for young children
- Concierge desk
- Landscaped parks
Water is planned from the BWSSB supply, with tankers as the second source. Buyers should ask which amenities will be ready when the first tower is handed over.
RERA Registration and Stage
L&T Elara Celestia RERA registration number is PRM/KA/RERA/1251/472/PR/100325/007564, granted by the Karnataka RERA authority on 10 March 2025. The project is registered under the name Elara Celestia, with L&T Realty Developers Limited as the promoter. The number can be checked on the Karnataka RERA portal.
The building plan was approved by the BBMP on 4 March 2025, with a sanctioned floor area ratio of 3.25. The registered project period runs from 15 February 2025 to 31 March 2030. The sales timeline speaks of possession from 2029, so the agreement should state which date the developer is bound by.
The registered schedule places the foundation work in the first half of 2026 and the basement floors between May and November 2026. The structure of the towers is planned between May 2027 and July 2028, followed by the finishing work. The quarterly updates on the portal show whether the site is keeping to these dates.
Checks Before Booking
An apartment bought during construction needs a few checks on paper and on site. The points below are worth settling in writing before the booking amount is paid.
- Match the registration number, the promoter's name and the completion date with the RERA portal.
- Get the RERA carpet area, the balcony area and the super built-up area of the chosen home.
- Ask for the full cost sheet, with floor rise, parking, deposits and GST shown separately.
- Confirm the number of car parks that come with the home.
- Read the possession date and the delay compensation clause in the draft agreement.
- Ask for the payment schedule and how each stage is linked to construction.
- Pay only into the project's RERA-designated bank account.
- Visit the site to see the stage of work, and visit L&T Raintree Boulevard to judge the finished quality.
The registered count of 634 homes is slightly higher than the 630 quoted in the sales material. The sales team should confirm the final number and the mix of homes in each tower.
