We don't give a buy or negotiate verdict yet — either the price hasn't been verified with the developer, or unit sizes aren't published so the real ₹/sqft can't be checked. Get the builder's own cost sheet before deciding.
Why
- ● Unit sizes aren't published, so the true ₹/sqft can't be judged yet — ask for the official cost sheet.
- ● Brigade Enterprises has a strong delivery record.
- ● Possession is about 30 months away — factor in rent and delay risk.
Brochure vs Reality
What the sales pitch says — and what the data says.
- “Metro connectivity”Nearest running station: Singayyanapalya (Purple) — 1.24 km, an auto ride.✓ Holds up
- “Best price / launch offer”Unit sizes aren't published, so the true ₹/sqft can't be judged yet — ask for the cost sheet.? Verify
- “Possession soon”No committed date is public — check the RERA registration for the promised date.? Verify
- “Great investment, high appreciation”Likely ~6.6% a year (appreciating) vs ~7% from a bank FD. ₹1 Cr could become ~₹1.38 Cr in 5 years.? Verify
- “24×7 water, premium living”In KR Puram & Old Madras Road, mixed Cauvery + borewell supply is common; flood risk is med. Ask residents of nearby buildings about summer water.? Verify
- “Trusted developer”Builder trust 89/100 from delivery, RERA and dispute records.✓ Holds up
- “All approvals in place”Ask for the RERA number, title deed + 30-year EC, sanctioned plan and (if ready) OC — and verify each yourself.? Verify

Space you actually get
#8 of 19 projects with developer-published carpet areasYou pay on super built-up area but live in the carpet area. The gap is walls, lobbies, lifts and your share of common areas.
From the developer's published size ranges, pairing the smallest carpet with the smallest super built-up figure. Developers define carpet area differently (balconies in or out) — confirm your unit's RERA carpet area in the agreement. Compare all 19
What taxes add to the listed price

- Stamp duty @ 5%+₹8 L
- Cess (10% of duty)+₹80,000
- Surcharge (2% of duty)+₹16,000
