Sobha Altair

Sobha Altair sits at Chikkakannalli, with Carmelaram and Hadosiddapura as the nearby area names, pincode 560035. This is the Sarjapur Road side of south-east Bengaluru, a corridor that has filled with apartment communities over the past decade. Most of your journeys will begin by joining Sarjapur Road, towards the city or out towards the newer layouts.

The developer has not published distances to offices, schools, hospitals or stations. For that reason, we do not quote any travel times on this page. The simplest check is to make your own commute before you book. Leave the site at your usual hour, drive to work, and do the return trip in the evening rush.

Handover is years away, so think about the area as it may look in 2031 as well as today. Ask which roads around the site are due to be widened, and where the gate of the project will open. Look for the grocery stores, clinics and schools you would use now. A weekday morning and a Sunday visit will give you two different readings of the traffic on the approach road.

Sobha Altair offers four plans, all given as built-up area. The 3 BHK is about 1,875 sq ft from Rs. 3.5 Crore. The 3 BHK with a study is about 2,250 sq ft from Rs. 4.1 Crore. The 4 BHK is about 2,400 sq ft from Rs. 4.5 Crore. The garden plan, four bedrooms plus a private garden, is about 2,550 sq ft from Rs. 4.8 Crore.

Those prices come to about Rs. 18,650, Rs. 18,200, Rs. 18,750 and Rs. 18,800 per sq ft in that order. The study plan is the lowest rate per sq ft of the four. Carpet areas have not been published, so ask for them before you compare this project with another.

As an under-construction home, the price attracts GST. Stamp duty and registration are payable on top. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• Base rate and the area it applies to
• Floor-rise and facing charges
• Garden area and how it is priced, for the garden plan
• Car parking bays in the basement
• Clubhouse fee and maintenance deposit
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration
• The construction-linked payment plan

Sobha Altair has no RERA registration number published by Sobha Limited yet. A developer cannot legally sell homes in Karnataka before the project is registered, so ask for the number first. Look it up on the Karnataka RERA website, rera.karnataka.gov.in, and check the promoter, the approved number of homes and the declared completion date.

At launch stage, ask to see:

• The RERA registration certificate
• The sanctioned building plan with your unit marked
• Title deeds and an encumbrance certificate for the land
• The khata and the latest tax receipt for the land
• The draft agreement for sale, with the handover date and delay penalty
• The payment schedule tied to construction stages

Keep the brochure and the price quote you were given, since a long build leaves time for details to change. A home loan from a bank that has approved the project is a second check on the title. At handover, ask for the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed and move the khata into your name.

Sobha Altair places 205 homes on 2.5 acres in buildings of 18 floors, with three levels of basement below. The developer has not published the share of land left open, or how many towers there will be. Ask for the sanctioned site plan to see where your block stands. All current images are renders, as planned by the developer.

A weekday could begin on the jogging and skating track, or in the gym at the clubhouse. The sports courts suit an early game. Parents with young children have a creche on site, as well as a play area for after school, and the health centre is meant to handle minor needs close to home.

For evenings, there is a pool, landscaped gardens for a walk, and an indoor games zone. The mini theatre gives you a place for a film night with friends. Family celebrations can go to the banquet and party area, and the dining space and cafe offer somewhere to eat without leaving the gates. Because the project is at its start, ask when each of these will be built relative to your tower's handover.
