Brigade Eternia

Brigade Eternia stands beside SH 9 in Ambedkar Colony, Yelahanka, near the police station, pincode 560065. Yelahanka is settled north Bengaluru with a long history of its own, so schools, markets and clinics already exist around the site rather than being promised. The developer has not published distances or drive times to any office, the airport or a school, so none are quoted here.

A state highway at the door cuts both ways. It gives you a fast road out towards the north and into the city, and it brings traffic and noise to the towers nearest it. Ask which towers face the highway and which face inward, and visit at rush hour to hear the difference. Then drive from the site to your workplace at your normal hour, and back in the evening.

Because handover is from 2030, the streets around the plot will change before you move in. Judge the approach today, ask what road work is planned along SH 9, and look at where the gates for 1,124 households will open onto it. A tower near the gate is convenient in the morning and busy in the evening, so read the site plan with your own routine in mind.

Brigade Eternia has four layouts, all built-up; carpet areas are not published. The smaller 3 BHK is about 1,624 sq ft at Rs. 2.47 to 2.83 Crore. The larger 3 BHK is about 1,848 sq ft at Rs. 2.84 to 3.21 Crore. The 3 BHK with a study and powder room is about 2,111 sq ft at Rs. 3.33 to 3.96 Crore. The 4 BHK is about 2,714 sq ft at Rs. 4.46 to 4.79 Crore, and adds a room the developer describes as a home office or a maid's room.

At the low end of each band the rate is about Rs. 15,200, Rs. 15,400, Rs. 15,800 and Rs. 16,400 per sq ft respectively, so the bigger home costs more per foot as well as in total. The top of each band is the same plan higher up or better facing. Ask for a tower-wise, floor-wise price list rather than the starting figure.

The homes are under construction, so GST applies on the construction portion. Stamp duty and registration apply on the full consideration, and payments follow construction milestones until 2030. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate per sq ft and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing premium for your unit
• Car parking and the number of bays included
• Clubhouse membership and the maintenance deposit
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value
• The milestone schedule to handover

Brigade Eternia has no RERA registration number published by the developer for this project. Ask Brigade Group for it before you pay anything and search it on rera.karnataka.gov.in. On a build that runs to 2030 that entry is the document that protects you. It holds the sanctioned plan, the declared completion date, the quarterly progress filings and the approvals uploaded so far. If no number is available, do not pay a booking amount.

There is no occupancy certificate at this stage, so the papers to ask for are the ones that show the towers may be built and sold:

• The RERA certificate
• The sanctioned building plan showing your tower, floor and unit
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 14-acre plot
• Khata for the land and the current tax receipt
• The commencement certificate
• A draft agreement for sale, with the handover date and the milestone schedule written in

Have a lawyer read the agreement before you sign, with attention to delay compensation, area variation and what happens if your tower is delivered later than others. When your tower is finished, ask for the occupancy certificate before you take the keys, then register the sale deed and apply for the khata in your name. Keep the handover file for warranty and defect claims.

Brigade Eternia has 12 towers of 14 floors on 14 acres, a tower to the acre, with the gardens, courts and clubhouse in the ground between them. Fourteen floors is low enough that lifts are less of a bottleneck than in a 30-storey tower, but 1,124 homes is a lot of neighbours. The open-space share has not been published; ask for the sanctioned site plan. Every image you see is a render as planned by the developer.

A morning could start with yoga, a run on the jogging track or a session in the gymnasium at the clubhouse, followed by a swim. If you have a small child, the creche inside the gate changes the working day. After school there is a play area, an activity area and multiple sports courts, and the retail spaces on site mean the small errands do not need a car.

Evenings and weekends are where this plan is generous: a MiniPlex for a film without leaving home, an indoor games area for a rainy afternoon, and banquet halls for the wedding or the big birthday. Ask which of these open with the first towers and which wait for the last, because on a build that runs to 2030 the early residents may live beside a construction site for a while. Ask too what the monthly charge is likely to be once everything is running.
