Prestige Greenbrook Plots

Prestige Greenbrook Plots lies in Singarahalli village, Kundana Hobli, Devanahalli taluk, pincode 562110, reached from IVC Road. This is the Yelahanka Extension belt of north Bangalore, where farmland is giving way to gated layouts. Your nearest large landmarks are the Kempegowda airport and the old town of Devanahalli, both reached by road.

For a trip into the city, the usual route runs south through Yelahanka and joins Bellary Road towards Hebbal and central Bangalore. The developer has not published travel distances or times, so drive the route at the hour you would actually commute before you commit.

Daily life here depends on how the area grows by the time you build. Ask where the nearest schools, clinics and grocery stores are today, and how far you would drive for each. Inside the gate, retail spaces are planned as part of the amenities, which may cover small daily needs once the layout fills up.

If you work near the airport or travel often, living on this side of the city can save a long cross-town drive to the terminal.

Prestige Greenbrook Plots offers four plot sizes, and the prices below are the published starting figures:

• 30 x 50 ft, about 1,500 sq ft: Rs. 1.35 Crore upwards
• 30 x 60 ft, about 1,800 sq ft: Rs. 1.61 Crore upwards
• 40 x 50 ft, about 2,000 sq ft: Rs. 1.79 Crore upwards
• 40 x 60 ft, about 2,400 sq ft: Rs. 2.15 Crore upwards

Each size works out to roughly Rs. 9,000 per sq ft of land. On top of the plot price, you pay stamp duty and registration when the sale deed is signed. Ask whether GST is charged on development or amenity fees. Remember that building the house is a separate budget.

Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• The exact plot number, dimensions and facing
• Premiums for corner, east-facing or park-side plots
• Club membership, infrastructure and electricity charges
• The maintenance deposit and monthly charge
• The payment schedule tied to work on site

Prestige Greenbrook Plots has no RERA registration number published by the developer for this layout. Plotted developments sold before completion must be registered, so ask Prestige Group for the number and check the entry on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). The entry shows the approved layout, the promised completion date and any complaints filed.

With a plot, the land approvals matter more than anything else, because you will build on it. Before booking, ask for:

• The land conversion order from agricultural to residential use
• The layout approval from the planning authority, with the plan showing your plot
• The release order that frees your plot for sale
• An encumbrance certificate covering at least 30 years
• Title documents tracing ownership of the land to the developer

At handover you sign the sale deed at the sub-registrar's office. Then get the khata in your own name, because you will need it for a building plan approval and a power connection. Keep copies of every approval, since your bank will ask for them when you seek a construction loan.

Prestige Greenbrook Plots spreads over 34 acres, with plots arranged along internal roads and shared facilities for every owner. The developer has not published the share of land kept open. Ask for the approved layout plan and check where your plot lies in relation to the gardens, the clubhouse and the main gate. Images you see are as planned by the developer.

Imagine a morning walk under avenue trees along the internal streets, then a round on the jogging track. The yoga pavilion offers a calm start to the day, while the gymnasium and swimming pool are there for a harder workout. Several gardens are planned across the site.

For children there is a play area and a creche, and older children can use the sports courts or the indoor games area. Evenings could end at the open-air theatre or the party area for a gathering with neighbours.

Since you will build your own house, the shared spaces fill the gap between plot and city. Ask when each facility will open, because some may come later than the plots themselves.
