Concorde Cuppertino

Concorde Cuppertino stands in Electronic City in south Bangalore, a neighbourhood that grew up around an electronics park covering about 332 acres. If you work in one of its campuses, the drive to the office could be one of the shortest in the city. The area already has its own schools and colleges, hospitals, banks, malls and supermarkets.

Trips towards central Bangalore mostly run along the elevated expressway to Silk Board Junction. That stretch is about 10 km and takes less than 20 minutes to drive, which keeps Koramangala and the inner city within a sensible distance for weekend plans. The developer has not published the exact site address or distances to specific places, so ask for a location pin before your visit.

Once you have the pin, drive from it to your office at the hour you normally leave, and come back in the evening rush too. Check how the approach road from the main road to the gate handles traffic. If your children will attend school nearby, ask the schools about bus routes that serve the site.

Concorde Cuppertino has only one home type on offer: a four-bedroom flat of roughly 2,300 sq ft. That appears to be a saleable figure; carpet area has not been published, so ask for it. Four bedrooms at this size give room for a study or a guest room alongside the family bedrooms, but check the plan to see how much of the area goes to balconies and passages.

Prices are available only on request, so no per-sq-ft rate can be worked out. Because the homes are under construction, GST will be charged on top of the base price. Stamp duty and registration apply to every purchase. The specification details have not been published, so ask for the finishes list along with the price.

When you request a quote, ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate per sq ft and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking and the number of bays included
• Clubhouse fee and the maintenance deposit
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The payment schedule linked to construction stages

Concorde Cuppertino is listed as carrying BBMP/BDA approval, but no Karnataka RERA number has been published. An under-construction project must be registered before it is sold. Ask Concorde Group for the number and look it up at rera.karnataka.gov.in, where you can also see the declared completion date and quarterly progress reports.

Since neither the land area nor the handover date is public, the documents carry more weight than usual. Before paying a booking amount, ask for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• The sanctioned building plan, with your flat marked
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• A draft agreement for sale with a handover date and a delay penalty
• The construction-linked payment schedule
• A list of banks that have approved the project for loans

Have a lawyer check the agreement before you sign it. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate for your building, register the sale deed in your name and apply for the khata transfer. Keep copies of every receipt from the booking stage onward, since they support your loan and tax claims.

Concorde Cuppertino has published no site layout, land area or number of blocks. Ask the developer for the master plan so you can see where the towers, the clubhouse and any open ground will go. Any images you are shown are renders as planned by the developer until the spaces are built.

From the planned facilities, a day here could begin with a swim or a session in the gym. The yoga and aerobics space suits a quieter morning. Children can use the play area and the skating area after school, while older members of the family take to the indoor games room.

Evenings bring the squash court into use, and the clubhouse gives residents a place to meet. The party hall means birthdays and family functions can be held inside the gates rather than in a hired venue. Since every home is a large four-bedroom flat, expect families of similar size as neighbours. Ask which facilities will be ready at handover and which will follow later.
