Nambiar District 25

Nambiar District 25 stands on CD Road in Dommasandra, pincode 562125, on the south-eastern side of Bengaluru between Sarjapur and Varthur. The developer has not published distances to offices, schools, hospitals or stations, so we do not quote any.

Most families here work in Whitefield or at the tech parks on the Outer Ring Road, both reachable by road. The drive will depend a lot on the hour. Leave from the site at your usual time on a weekday and time the run to your office, then do the evening trip back.

For everyday needs, Dommasandra and Sarjapur Road already have schools, clinics and shops. Ask which schools run buses to the township and where the nearest hospital with an emergency ward is.

In the long run, the township plans its own shops and offices on 22 acres, which could put work and shopping within walking distance for some residents. Until that is built, you will rely on the roads outside. A 100-acre development will also bring a lot of new traffic to CD Road, so ask how many gates are planned and how they connect to Sarjapur Road.

Nambiar District 25 has seven layouts, quoted as built-up area. T is the bathroom count and PR a powder room:

• 2 BHK, about 1,266 sq ft: from Rs. 1.70 Crore
• 3 BHK + 2T, about 1,498 sq ft: from Rs. 2.01 Crore
• 3 BHK + 3T, about 1,683 sq ft: from Rs. 2.26 Crore
• 3 BHK + 3T + PR, about 2,043 sq ft: from Rs. 2.74 Crore
• 3 BHK + 3T + PR, about 2,051 sq ft: from Rs. 2.75 Crore
• 4 BHK + 4T + PR, about 2,583 sq ft: from Rs. 3.47 Crore
• 4.5 BHK + 4T + PR, about 2,936 sq ft: from Rs. 3.94 Crore

All start at close to Rs. 13,400 per sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them.

As the homes are under construction, GST is added to the price, along with stamp duty and registration. Get a cost sheet listing:

• The extra charge for full power backup in your flat
• GST, stamp duty and registration
• The construction-linked payment plan

Nambiar District 25 has no RERA registration number published for this phase yet. Ask Nambiar Builders for it and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website. A large township is usually registered in several phases, so make sure the number you are given covers your tower.

While the towers are being built, ask for:

• The RERA certificate for your phase
• The sanctioned building plan showing your tower and unit
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the phase land
• Khata for the land
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and payment stages
• The list of banks that have approved the project for loans

Have a lawyer read the agreement, looking closely at the delay clause, the specification schedule and any clause on changes to the wider township plan, such as the mall.

At handover, collect the occupancy certificate for your tower before taking the keys. Then register the sale deed and apply for the khata in your name. Keep every stage-payment receipt for the final account.

Nambiar District 25 sits in a 100-acre township, and this phase adds six towers rising as high as 33 floors. The wider plan adds 3 lakh sq ft of clubhouse space in total, over 5,000 trees across the greens, and 22 acres reserved for retail and offices. The images you are shown are renders as planned by the developer; ask for the sanctioned plan of this phase.

A morning could start on the jogging and skate track or on the aerobics and yoga decks, then move to the gym or the pool. Parents who work can use the creche, and children have a play area and several sports courts for after school.

Evenings might take you to the open amphitheatre or the entertainment zone, and the indoor games zone covers wet days. Pet owners have dedicated pet parks. For family events there are multipurpose party areas, and a health centre is planned on site.

In a township this size, facilities usually open in stages. Ask which clubhouse your tower will use, how far it is from your block, and whether it will be ready when you move in.
