Lodha Elanza Apartments

Lodha Elanza Apartments stands near Confident Square mall on the Varthur to Sarjapur road, in Dommasandra, in the Yamare area, pincode 562125. New housing has been spreading into this part of south-east Bengaluru, halfway along the link from Varthur to Sarjapur. The developer has not published distances to any office, school or hospital, so none are quoted here.

Daily life here points in two directions. Sarjapur Road lies one way and Varthur and Whitefield lie the other, all reached by road, so the location can work for households with jobs in either belt. You will find schools, hospitals and shops along the main Sarjapur Road stretch, and a mall close by covers some weekend needs.

This is also a road that gets busy at peak hours. Before you book, drive from the site to your workplace on a working morning and time the return in the evening. Do the same for a school run. With handover from 2031, the area will change before you move in, but base your decision on what exists today. On a 19-acre site, ask where the main gate opens.

Lodha Elanza Apartments offers three plans, all on built-up area; carpet areas have not been published. Smart (three bedrooms): roughly 1,500 sq ft, Rs. 2 Crore to Rs. 2.1 Crore. Luxe (three bedrooms): roughly 1,800 sq ft, Rs. 2.5 Crore to Rs. 2.75 Crore. Premium (three and a half bedrooms): roughly 2,200 sq ft, Rs. 3.1 Crore to Rs. 3.4 Crore, with the half room suited to a study or a guest.

At the lowest price, the Smart plan works out to about Rs. 13,300 per sq ft, the Luxe to about Rs. 13,900 and the Premium to about Rs. 14,100. Height and facing decide where in each range your unit falls.

GST applies on the construction portion, as the homes are not yet built. Stamp duty and registration come on top. Ask for a cost sheet with:

• Base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing charges
• Car parking and bays included
• Club membership and deposits
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The construction-linked payment plan

Lodha Elanza Apartments has no RERA registration number published yet. Ask Lodha Group for it and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). A six-tower project may be registered in phases, so check that your tower is part of the phase you are shown.

At booking, ask for:

• The RERA certificate for your phase
• The sanctioned building plan for your tower
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 19 acres
• The conversion order for the land
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and delay compensation

Through construction, check the site and the quarterly progress report on the RERA portal before each payment. A home loan brings a second legal review of the title, which is useful protection.

When your tower is finished, take the occupancy certificate before accepting the keys. Then register the sale deed in your name and apply for the khata.

Lodha Elanza Apartments places six towers of 34 floors across 19 acres, with shared facilities for 698 households. The developer has not published the share of land kept open, so ask for the approved site plan and check the gap between towers. At a new launch, every picture is a render as planned by the developer.

Mornings could begin on the jogging track or in the aerobics and yoga area, then move to the gymnasium and the swimming pool. The health centre is on the list for routine care without leaving home. Children have a play area, and teenagers can use the several sports courts after school.

When it rains, the indoor games area and the AV zone in the clubhouse take over. Evenings suit a walk through the landscaped gardens, and the multipurpose party hall handles birthdays and small functions. With nearly 700 homes sharing one clubhouse, ask about its size and whether the pool can take a busy weekend crowd. Also ask whether the facilities will be open by the time your tower is handed over.
