In plain words
Each home is marked on 11 things a careful buyer checks, then compared with every project we analyse in Bengaluru: 50 is the average project, 62 beats about five in six. Here is what lifts this one and what drags it:
- +Expected price growth (5-yr CAGR model) · 15/26 pts
We expect prices here to rise about 11.6% a year for the next 5 years (explained below). - +Employment access · 4/10 pts
Drive times right now: Hebbal (Kirloskar) 15 min, Manyata Tech Park 16 min, MG Road (CBD) 32 min; Electronic City Ph-1 73 min. About 14 million sq ft of new offices are planned nearby in 3 years. - +Layout, size, age, amenities, maintenance · 1/3 pts

- •Price vs comparables · -0/3 pts
Priced about the same as similar luxury homes nearby (₹16,300 vs ~₹16,500 per sq ft). - •Rental demand & yield · 0/8 pts
Rent pays back 2.5% of the price every year, well below the usual 3% in Bengaluru. Tenant demand here is decent. - +Resale liquidity · 1/4 pts
Plenty of buyers can afford a ₹2.55 Cr home, and homes in Yelahanka / Jakkur / Airport corridor resell at a normal pace. Reselling before handover needs the builder’s permission. - +Employment access · 4/10 pts

L&T Realty has finished 1+ projects and delivered on time about 60% of the time. This phase is 18% built, with handover promised for 2030-03-31: delays would push your rent start back. - +Layout, size, age, amenities, maintenance · 1/3 pts
Moderately dense layout (63 homes per acre); about 72% of the area you pay for is usable carpet area. Maintenance ~₹6 per sq ft a month. - •Water, flooding, noise, infrastructure · 0/9 pts

Registered with Karnataka RERA; no court cases reported; land title not yet verified by us, so get a lawyer to check. The due-diligence report below flags 1 item in red. - +Expected price growth (5-yr CAGR model) · 15/26 pts
We expect prices here to rise about 11.6% a year for the next 5 years (explained below).
We build the forecast step by step, starting from what Bengaluru homes normally do and adjusting for this area and this project:
- + 6.0%Start with 6.0% a year: the normal long-run growth of Bengaluru home prices.
- + 1.3%Add 1.3%: prices here rose 14.5% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.7%Subtract 0.7%: at ₹16,300 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 2.7%Add 2.7%: 14 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.0%Supply and demand are balanced here (18 months of unsold stock).
- + 0.2%Add 0.2% for new roads, metro and water lines, weighted by how likely they are to actually finish: Blue Line KR Puram–Hebbal–Airport (construction, 2027); Satellite Town Ring Road (construction, 2028).
- + 2.2%Add 2.2% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 11.6%Result: about 11.6% a year, so a home worth ₹2.64 Cr today would be worth about ₹4.58 Cr in 5 years. We are 56% confident in the evidence behind this.
Which exit suits you?
For an unfinished flat the answer depends on whether you sell at handover or hold, and whether you spend on interiors. Same price, same loan; only the strategy changes:
| Strategy | Hold | IRR / yr | Wealth CAGR / yr | Cash you put in | Net rent | Net sale | Apply |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sell at handover, no interiors best IRR Take delivery in 2030-03-31 and sell the bare flat (4 yr hold). Needs builder NOC or registration first; no rent. | 4 yrs | 26.4% | 16.5% | ₹95.4 L | ₹-21,736 | ₹2.07 Cr | |
| Hold bare, rent unfurnished Skip interiors; rent 12% lower than a fitted home; sell after 8 yrs with no interiors value. | 8 yrs | 15.1% | 9.2% | ₹1.83 Cr | ₹11.9 L | ₹3.89 Cr | |
| Hold, do interiors, rent & sell fitted selected Spend ₹1,200/sq ft on interiors, earn full rent, recover ~40% of interiors cost at sale (fading over 10 yrs). | 8 yrs | 13.7% | 8.2% | ₹2.00 Cr | ₹14.9 L | ₹3.93 Cr |
IRR and CAGR are per year over the hold shown. A short hold can show a high IRR on a small absolute gain; compare the net-sale column too. Selling before registration usually needs the builder’s transfer NOC and a fee.
