Casagrand Promenade Apartments

Casagrand Promenade Apartments stands at No. 48, Adityanagar, inside Yelahanka's Old Town, pincode 560063, in the north of Bengaluru. Yelahanka is an older, settled town that the city grew out to meet, and it has its own railway station, which gives you a rail option that most northern addresses lack. The New Town is next door, and Hebbal and Kempegowda International Airport are a drive away.

Daily life here is already in place: markets, schools, hospitals and everyday shops are spread across the locality, and the Old Town keeps the feel of a place rather than a corridor. The developer has not published distances or travel times to any station, office or school, so we quote none. Drive from the plot to your workplace at the hour you would really leave, and time the walk or ride to the railway station.

Old Town streets are narrower than the corridor roads further out, so look at the lane the gate opens onto and how the cars of 223 households will join it at peak hour. With possession some years off, ask what road works are planned nearby. On-site retail spaces and a rooftop cafe are on the plan, which may take a few errands off the road.

Casagrand Promenade Apartments offers three plans, all quoted as built-up area; carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them. The 2 BHK is about 1,336 sq ft, the 3 BHK about 1,845 sq ft and the 4 BHK about 2,609 sq ft. Only one plan is listed for each size, so ask whether facings differ and where the utility and balconies fall on each.

The 2 BHK spans Rs. 95 Lakhs to Rs. 1.16 Crore, the 3 BHK Rs. 1.30 Crore to Rs. 1.52 Crore and the 4 BHK Rs. 1.84 Crore to Rs. 1.89 Crore. On the starting figures that is about Rs. 7,100, Rs. 7,000 and Rs. 7,100 a sq ft, so the plans are priced at much the same rate and the spread inside each plan comes from floor and facing. Ask for a unit-wise list rather than the headline.

GST is payable on the agreement value while the homes are under construction, and stamp duty and registration follow at the sale deed. Ask for the construction-linked schedule in writing, and a cost sheet that lists:

• Base price and the area it is charged on
• Floor and facing premium for your unit
• Car parking and the number of bays
• Clubhouse membership, maintenance deposit and corpus fund
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration

Casagrand Promenade Apartments has no RERA registration number published by the developer yet. For a project under construction that is the first gap to close. Karnataka requires registration before marketing, and the entry on rera.karnataka.gov.in carries the sanctioned plan, the promised completion date and the quarterly progress reports. Ask Casagrand for the number and check it yourself before paying a booking amount.

Before you sign, ask for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• The sanctioned building plan and the commencement certificate
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 2.6 acres
• The draft agreement for sale, with the carpet area and the handover date stated
• The construction-linked payment schedule
• A cost sheet showing GST, parking, deposits and registration separately

The possession date is given only as 2029 onwards, so have the agreement fix a month and a penalty for delay. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate before registration, then take the sale deed, the khata transfer and the first property tax receipt in your name.

Casagrand Promenade Apartments sets two blocks of seven floors on 2.6 acres, with the ground between them given to gardens, courts and the clubhouse, and a cafe and barbecue space on the roof. The developer has not published the share of the plot left open, so ask for the sanctioned site plan and see how the blocks are spaced. Every image you see before handover is a render as planned by the developer.

A morning could begin in the gymnasium, then a swim in the pool and a loop of the jogging track. Children have a play area and a creche, and the multiple sports courts fill the hours after school. The library beside the indoor games area is the quiet corner, and the retail spaces on site cover the small errands without a car.

Evenings and weekends turn to the mini theatre, the amphitheatre for open-air events, and the rooftop cafe and barbecue for a Saturday with neighbours. The landscaped gardens are the shared green. With 223 households on a compact site, ask how the pool, the rooftop and the theatre are sized and booked. Ask too which facilities will be open on the day you move in as against after the last block is handed over.
