Upcoming Godrej Yelahanka

Upcoming Godrej Yelahanka gives its address as Maruthi Nagar, Yelahanka, pincode 560064, and it also names R T Nagar. That is not precise enough to plan journeys, so ask for the survey number and a map pin first. No distances to offices, stations, schools or hospitals have been published, so we do not quote any here.

Once you have the plot, drive from it to your workplace on a weekday morning and back in the evening rush. Time both runs, since the return trip into north Bengaluru can differ a lot from the morning one. If you have children, try the school run at the hour you would really leave.

About 800 families will eventually come and go through this site. Ask which road will serve the main gate, whether it will be widened, and how many parking bays come with each home. Walk the surroundings for grocery stores, a clinic and schools, and note which errands will still need a car.

Upcoming Godrej Yelahanka lists four layouts, all in built-up area and all with three or more bedrooms. The three-bedroom Premium is about 1,600 sq ft and the three-bedroom Luxe about 1,900 sq ft. The 3.5-bedroom Luxe is about 2,150 sq ft and the 4.5-bedroom Luxe about 2,500 sq ft. Carpet areas have not been published.

Starting prices are Rs. 2.88 Crore, Rs. 3.42 Crore, Rs. 3.87 Crore and Rs. 4.5 Crore, in that order. Each comes to about Rs. 18,000 per sq ft, so the rate does not fall as homes get bigger. Floor and facing will add to every figure.

GST applies while the home is under construction, and stamp duty and registration are due on every purchase. Ask for a cost sheet that lists:

• The base rate and the area it is charged on
• Floor-rise and facing premiums
• Car parking and clubhouse membership
• Maintenance deposit
• GST as its own line
• Stamp duty and registration on the full value

Upcoming Godrej Yelahanka has no published RERA registration number. Bookings are not allowed before registration, so ask the developer for the number and look it up on the Karnataka RERA website (rera.karnataka.gov.in). The entry records the land and its survey numbers, which will also settle where exactly the site is.

For a home in a new launch, ask for:

• The RERA registration certificate
• Title documents and an encumbrance certificate for the 10 acres
• The conversion order for residential use
• The sanctioned building plan for your tower
• A draft agreement for sale with a handover date and a construction-linked payment plan

Pay only by bank transfer, into the account named in the RERA filing, and keep every receipt. At handover, collect the occupancy certificate, register the sale deed in your name and apply for the khata. Your lender will ask for copies of all of these.

Upcoming Godrej Yelahanka spreads nine towers of 15 floors over about 10 acres in its plan. The open-space share has not been published, so ask for the sanctioned site plan to see how towers, gardens and the clubhouse share the ground. Facilities described here are as planned by the developer and may change.

A weekday could start on the jogging and skating track or the yoga deck, then the gym, the pool or the health club. Remote workers get co-working spaces for a desk outside the flat. Toddlers could spend the morning at the creche, while older children have play areas and several sports courts.

Evenings might bring a film in the mini theatre, a round in the indoor games zone, or a walk with the dog to the pet park. The multipurpose party area takes birthdays, and the landscaped gardens are there for a quiet stroll. Retail spaces inside the gates could cover small errands. Ask which facilities open with the first towers.
