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:
- +Schools, hospitals, daily needs · 3/3 pts
Schools, hospitals and daily shopping are excellent in this area. - +Resale liquidity · 3/4 pts
Plenty of buyers can afford a ₹1.77 Cr home, and homes in HSR Layout / BTM / Koramangala fringe resell quickly. Reselling before handover needs the builder’s permission. - +Builder delivery & handover risk · 9/16 pts
Mahindra Lifespaces has finished 8+ projects and delivered on time about 89% of the time. This phase is 47% built, with handover promised for 2028-12-31: delays would push your rent start back. - −Price vs comparables · -0/3 pts
Priced about the same as similar premium homes nearby (₹13,650 vs ~₹14,500 per sq ft). - −Water, flooding, noise, infrastructure · 1/9 pts

Rent pays back 3.3% of the price every year, close to the usual 3% in Bengaluru. Tenant demand here is very strong. - +Resale liquidity · 3/4 pts
Plenty of buyers can afford a ₹1.77 Cr home, and homes in HSR Layout / BTM / Koramangala fringe resell quickly. Reselling before handover needs the builder’s permission. - +Employment access · 4/10 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 0 items in red. - •Expected price growth (5-yr CAGR model) · 5/26 pts
We expect prices here to rise about 10.5% 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.
- + 0.6%Add 0.6%: prices here rose 10.1% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- + 0.0%Prices are still affordable enough that this does not slow growth.
- + 1.1%Add 1.1%: 3 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.9%Add 0.9%: few unsold homes in the area (10 months of stock), so sellers have the upper hand.
- + 0.2%Add 0.2% for new roads, metro and water lines, weighted by how likely they are to actually finish: Yellow Line RV Road–Bommasandra (opened Aug 2025) (operational, 2025); Pink Line Kalena Agrahara–Nagawara (construction, 2027).
- + 1.7%Add 1.7% for this project itself: unfinished homes are worth more once they are complete.
- = 10.5%Result: about 10.5% a year, so a home worth ₹1.84 Cr today would be worth about ₹3.02 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 2028-12-31 and sell the bare flat (3 yr hold). Needs builder NOC or registration first; no rent. | 3 yrs | 24.3% | 15.7% | ₹56.4 L | ₹1.1 L | ₹1.11 Cr | |
| Hold bare, rent unfurnished Skip interiors; rent 12% lower than a fitted home; sell after 8 yrs with no interiors value. | 8 yrs | 12.4% | 7.9% | ₹1.27 Cr | ₹18.9 L | ₹2.44 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 | 10.7% | 6.9% | ₹1.39 Cr | ₹22.5 L | ₹2.48 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.
