Upcoming Codename Peak Life Apartments

Upcoming Codename Peak Life Apartments stands at 95/4, BHADRA Road, in Fort Kengeri (Kengeri, 560060), off Mysore Road in south-west Bengaluru. The developer has not published distances to offices, metro stations, schools or hospitals, so we do not quote any. Kengeri is a settled suburb, so shops and services already exist in the area.

A project under construction lets you see the real approach today. Drive in from Mysore Road at the hour you would leave for work, then make the return trip in the evening. Time both, since trucks serving a four-tower site can slow the last stretch for years.

Once 2,016 households move in, the roads around the plot will carry far more traffic than they do now. Ask the developer how many gates the project will have, where visitor parking will go, and how many bays come with each home. Check the schools, clinics and shops near the site, and note which errands will still need a car.

Upcoming Codename Peak Life Apartments has published one layout so far: a three-bedroom home of about 2,250 sq ft, quoted as built-up area. Carpet area has not been published. The developer has not said whether smaller or larger homes will be offered in the four towers.

The listed price starts at Rs. 3.50 Crore, which comes to about Rs. 15,600 per sq ft. No upper figure has been given. In a building of this height, higher floors normally carry a floor-rise charge, so the entry price may apply only to the lowest floors on offer.

This is an under-construction home, so GST applies, and stamp duty and registration are payable on every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet that shows:

• The base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise charges for your floor
• Car parking and the number of bays included
• Clubhouse membership and maintenance deposit
• GST as a separate line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Upcoming Codename Peak Life Apartments has no RERA registration number published, although the project is described as under construction. Ask BHADRA Group for the number and check it on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). The entry should show the promoter, the land, the approved plan and a completion date you can hold the developer to.

Towers of 69 floors need more approvals than a mid-rise block. Before you pay, ask for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 20 acres
• The land conversion order for residential use
• The sanctioned building plan showing the full height
• The height clearance and the fire safety clearance
• A draft agreement for sale with the handover date and a stage-linked payment plan

At handover, collect the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed in your name and apply for the khata.

Upcoming Codename Peak Life Apartments puts four towers of 69 floors on about 20 acres, for 2,016 homes. The open-space share has not been published, so ask for the sanctioned layout. Facilities described here are as planned by the developer, shown in renders, and may be phased over several years.

A morning might start on the jogging track or in the gymnasium, then a swim, with the pool lounge for a coffee afterwards. Children have a play area and several sports courts, and teenagers can take over the indoor games area. Retail spaces on site could cover small errands without leaving the gate.

Evenings could bring a show at the amphitheatre, a film in the mini theatre or a walk through the landscaped gardens. The multipurpose party area handles birthdays and family events. In a 69-floor tower, lift waits matter more than any facility. The specification lists four high-speed lifts per lobby, so ask how many lobbies each tower has.
