DNR Parklink Phase 2

DNR Parklink Phase 2 will stand in Chikkagubbi Village, with the entrance off Hennur Main Road, pincode 560077. Hennur Road runs out towards the north-east of Bengaluru and has seen several big residential projects come up over the last few years. The village lanes around the site are narrower than the main road that feeds them.

No distances to schools, hospitals, offices or the airport have been published. Before you book, work out your own weekly routes. Time the drive to work at the hour you would leave, find the school you would choose and check the trip there, and note where the nearest hospital is.

Phase 2 shares its plot boundary and approach with the rest of Parklink. While the two phases are being built, trucks, cranes and workers will use the same access, and after completion the same gate may serve all residents. Ask how construction traffic is kept apart from families already living on the campus. Ask too which entrance Phase 2 homes will use, and walk it at school-run time.

DNR Parklink Phase 2 lists four plans, measured as built-up area. The smallest is a two-bedroom with a study of about 1,357 sq ft, at Rs. 1.49 to 1.52 Crore. A three-bedroom with two bathrooms of about 1,567 sq ft starts at Rs. 1.74 Crore. Three bathrooms come with the two biggest plans: about 1,720 sq ft for Rs. 1.87 to 1.94 Crore, and about 1,890 sq ft for Rs. 2.09 to 2.13 Crore. Per sq ft, each works out at about Rs. 10,900 to Rs. 11,100.

The spread within each plan is driven by floor and facing. GST is added on the construction portion because the phase is not yet finished, and stamp duty and registration come on top.

Get the developer to put these in writing:

• Carpet area of your flat, which is not published
• Base price, floor-rise and facing charges
• Parking bays included and their cost
• Clubhouse membership and maintenance deposit
• GST on its own line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The instalment schedule against construction stages

DNR Parklink Phase 2 has no RERA registration number published for this phase. In Karnataka each phase of a project can be registered on its own, so ask DNR Group for the number that covers Phase 2 and search for it on rera.karnataka.gov.in. The entry lists the blocks included, the declared completion date and progress reports.

For an under-construction purchase, ask for:

• The RERA certificate naming Phase 2 and your block
• The sanctioned building plan and the overall site plan
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• The conversion order for residential use
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and penalty for delay
• The construction-linked payment schedule

Check that the phase boundaries in the agreement match the RERA entry, so that what you are promised is what is registered. At handover, insist on the occupancy certificate for your block before you take the keys. Then register the sale deed and have the khata issued in your name.

DNR Parklink Phase 2 belongs to a campus that spans 8.35 acres, with five blocks of 22 floors and 784 homes in total. Ask which of those blocks make up Phase 2 and where they stand relative to the clubhouse and the gate. Every image you are shown is a render as planned by the developer, and the open-space share has not been published.

Once finished, a normal day could open with a run on the jogging track, a workout in the gymnasium or a quiet session in the meditation and yoga area. A swim fits in before work. The health centre handles small medical needs without a drive, and the indoor games room keeps children busy on wet afternoons.

The social side happens outdoors. There is a kids' play area, multipurpose sports courts for evening matches, and landscaped gardens for a walk after dinner. The amphitheatre suits a community performance, and the party lawns take a birthday or a festival. Ask which of these will open along with the Phase 2 towers, and what monthly maintenance you should expect, as no figure has been published.
