Rohan Ekanta

Rohan Ekanta sits in Gunjur, a village-turned-suburb on the eastern edge of Bengaluru, pincode 560087, and is reached from the road that links it to Varthur. Two office belts lie close by: Varthur, 3 km from the site, and the Sarjapur Road side beyond. Prestige Tech Park is 4.5 km away, which puts many large employers within a short ride.

Distance and time are not the same thing in this corner of the city. You will be using a local road, not an expressway, and travel times rise sharply in the rush hours. Make the trip to your office at the hour you would really set off, then time the return in the evening. Note how narrow the stretch near the gate is.

Everyday errands stay local. TCIS School is 1.7 km from the site and Apple City Mall 1.8 km, so neither needs a long journey. For a hospital visit, Manipal's Varthur Road branch is 5.5 km out. With 705 households leaving for work at similar times, ask how many exits the campus will have and where they open onto the road.

Rohan Ekanta has four home types, measured on saleable area. The 1.5 BHK comes in at roughly 710 sq ft, the 2 BHK at roughly 1,130 sq ft and the 3 BHK at roughly 1,525 sq ft. Listings also show bigger variants of the two- and three-bedroom homes. The 2.5 BHK still has no area or price attached.

Listed entry prices are Rs. 92.50 Lakhs, Rs. 1.47 Crore and Rs. 1.95 Crore for those three sizes, and the costliest homes reach about Rs. 2.13 Crore. The 3 BHK works out to about Rs. 12,800 per sq ft. These numbers come from listings, not from Rohan Builders, so get the carpet area and a unit-wise quote.

An under-construction flat attracts GST on its price. Stamp duty and registration fall due when the sale deed is registered in your name. Make sure your cost sheet breaks out:

• Saleable and carpet areas, with the rate charged
• Premiums for higher floors or a preferred facing
• Basement parking charges
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• GST as a separate figure
• Stamp duty and registration

Rohan Ekanta is sold in three phases, and each carries its own RERA registration. Phase 1: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/200423/005890. Phase 2: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/200423/005887. Phase 3: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/130723/006064. Look up your phase on rera.karnataka.gov.in to see its plans, completion date and progress updates.

Two towers sold in three phases can be confusing, so get written confirmation of which tower and phase your flat falls under. Then, before any booking payment, collect:

• The registration certificate for that phase
• The approved plan and the certificate allowing work to begin
• Title papers and an encumbrance certificate covering the land
• A draft sale agreement that states the carpet area and a handover date
• A payment plan tied to stages of construction

Since the developer states no possession date of its own, the date in your agreement is the only one you can hold it to. When the flat is ready, collect the occupancy certificate for the tower. Register the sale deed, then have the khata and property tax records moved into your name.

Rohan Ekanta lines its two towers up along the 6.22-acre site instead of grouping blocks around a courtyard. Rohan Builders says this lets air and light reach most homes from two directions. Parking goes below ground on two basement levels, which frees the surface for lawns, courts and walking paths. All pictures are renders as planned by the developer.

A weekday here might start with yoga, a workout in the gym or on the outdoor gym, and then a few hours at the co-working zone rather than the dining table. Toddlers can spend the day in the creche while older children head for the play areas, the skating loop or the jogging track once school is out.

Later in the day, families drift to the swimming pool zone, which includes a stepped pool for little ones. The sports courts, activity zone and indoor games room suit different ages. Larger gatherings can use the multipurpose lawns or the amphitheatre, with the clubhouse at the centre. Shops inside the gate are planned for small needs. Since the project is built in phases, ask when each facility will open.
