Keya Spring

Keya Spring fronts Bannerghatta Road, with IIM Bangalore (IIM-B) as the nearest landmark, pincode 560076, in south Bengaluru. This is a long-settled corridor, not a new growth area, so roads, bus routes, shops and hospitals are already part of the landscape. Keya Homes has not published distances to specific offices, schools or stations, so none are quoted here.

That changes what daily life feels like. Everyday errands are likely to be a short trip rather than a planned outing, and there is plenty around you once you step out. The trade-off is traffic: Bannerghatta Road is a busy arterial road, and peak-hour journeys along it can be slow.

Before you commit, leave the site at your usual office hour and time the drive, then come back in the evening rush. If you have children, try the school run as well. Ask which tower faces the main road and which faces inward, since that will decide how much traffic noise reaches your windows.

Keya Spring offers three home types. A 2 BHK measures about 1,335 sq ft, with prices beginning at Rs. 1.64 Crore. For a 3 BHK of about 1,705 sq ft, the entry price is Rs. 2.34 Crore. The largest home, a 4 BHK of about 2,700 sq ft, begins at Rs. 3.44 Crore. The areas are not labelled as carpet or built-up, so ask for both.

Per sq ft, that is about Rs. 12,300 for the 2 BHK, Rs. 13,700 for the 3 BHK and Rs. 12,700 for the 4 BHK. The 3 BHK carries the highest rate, which is worth questioning. As the homes are under construction, GST is charged on the price. Stamp duty and registration are added when the sale deed is signed. Your cost sheet should show:

• Carpet and built-up area of your unit
• Base rate, floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking charge and the number of bays
• Clubhouse membership and maintenance deposit
• GST on its own line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The construction-linked payment schedule

Keya Spring is registered with Karnataka RERA under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/230120/001682. Look it up on rera.karnataka.gov.in. Because no possession date has been published, the completion date the promoter has declared there is the most useful figure on the page. The quarterly progress reports tell you how far the towers have got.

For a flat bought under construction, ask Keya Homes for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the 3.12 acres
• The land conversion order for residential use
• The sanctioned building plan with your unit marked
• Any joint development agreement with the landowner
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and payment stages

A bank that has approved the project for home loans gives a second check on the title. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed in your name and apply for the khata transfer.

Keya Spring shares 3.12 acres between three 17-floor towers and 271 homes, so this is a compact, vertical community. The open-space share has not been published, so ask for the site plan and see how the towers, the clubhouse and the gardens are placed. Any images shown are as planned by the developer.

A weekday might begin with a lap of the jogging track, then the gymnasium or the pool. Children have a play area and a creche, which helps working parents, and the multipurpose sports courts are there for evening games. An indoor games room covers rainy days, and landscaped gardens run around the towers.

At the weekend, the mini theatre is there for a film, and the salon, spa and steam room offer an hour off. The multipurpose party area handles birthdays and small functions. Commercial spaces on the site may cover some daily shopping. Ask Keya Homes which facilities will be ready at handover and what the expected maintenance charge is.
