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.
- ● Sobha Limited 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: Vajarahalli (Green) — 2.04 km, an auto ride.? Verify
- “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 ~7.9% a year (appreciating) vs ~7% from a bank FD. ₹1 Cr could become ~₹1.46 Cr in 5 years.? Verify
- “24×7 water, premium living”In Kanakapura Road, mixed Cauvery + borewell supply is common; flood risk is low. Ask residents of nearby buildings about summer water.? Verify
- “Trusted developer”Builder trust 93/100 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
