New Launch Plots in Bangalore

Where the new layouts are

New plotted land in Bangalore follows the outer roads, because that is where large parcels are still free. The north has the most activity. Assetz City of Palms and Bulwark Highgrove are both at Devanahalli, near the airport. Renaissance Marigold Meadows is at Bagalur, Sattva Ekatra at Doddaballapur, and Zuari KinetiX on Doddaballapura Road. Vaishnavi AT-One Life Phase 4 adds a phase at Yelahanka Extension.

The south has its own cluster. Concorde Elements of Earth and Shravanthi Atmosphere are both on Kanakapura Road, and Pride Green Avenue is on Bannerghatta Road. The Imperial Address is at Chandapura, close to Hosur Road. To the west, Address Maker Apollo is at Nelamangala and KNS Sampada is on Mysore Road. Ivy County at Varthur and The Grand County Address at Sarjapur cover the east.

A starting price usually refers to the smallest site. Corner sites, east-facing sites and larger sizes cost more, so ask for the rate per square foot and the full plot chart.

Buying land at launch

At launch, a layout is often little more than marked-out land. Roads, drains, water lines and power may come over the next few years. You are paying for the developer to finish that work, so read the promised handover date in the sale agreement.

Look up the layout on the Karnataka RERA site and match your plot number to the registered plan. Ask which authority approved the layout, and for the order that converted the land from farm use. Get the title documents and an encumbrance certificate, and ask when you will receive a khata in your name. Finally, check whether you can start building at handover, or only once the developer finishes the common works.
