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:
- +Rental demand & yield · 4/8 pts
Rent pays back 3.6% of the price every year, better than the usual 3% in Bengaluru. Tenant demand here is very strong. - +Schools, hospitals, daily needs · 1/3 pts
Schools, hospitals and daily shopping are good in this area. - +Resale liquidity · 1/4 pts
Plenty of buyers can afford a ₹93.6 L home, and homes in Hennur Road / Kothanur / Kalyan Nagar resell at a normal pace. Reselling before handover needs the builder’s permission. - −Price vs comparables · -0/3 pts
Priced about the same as similar mid homes nearby (₹8,000 vs ~₹8,500 per sq ft). - −Builder delivery & handover risk · -0/16 pts
VDB Infra & Realty has finished 4+ projects and delivered on time about 54% of the time. This phase is 41% built, with handover promised for 2028-06-30: delays would push your rent start back. - −Water, flooding, noise, infrastructure · 0/9 pts
Some flood risk in heavy rain; water supply is partly piped, partly tankers; noise is manageable.

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) · 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.
- + 1.0%Add 1.0%: prices here rose 12.9% a year recently (2023-06 to 2026-06). Some of that pace continues, but it fades each year.
- − 0.2%Subtract 0.2%: at ₹8,000 per sq ft, fewer families can afford to buy here, which slows further rises.
- + 1.8%Add 1.8%: 6 million sq ft of new offices nearby means more people wanting homes here.
- + 0.0%Supply and demand are balanced here (16 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: Pink Line Kalena Agrahara–Nagawara (construction, 2027); Blue Line KR Puram–Hebbal–Airport (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 ₹96.9 L today would be worth about ₹1.60 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 2028-06-30 and sell the bare flat (2 yr hold). Needs builder NOC or registration first; no rent. | 2 yrs | 20.8% | 14.5% | ₹22.9 L | ₹-37,068 | ₹46.8 L | |
| Hold bare, rent unfurnished Skip interiors; rent 12% lower than a fitted home; sell after 8 yrs with no interiors value. | 8 yrs | 11.7% | 7.8% | ₹70.2 L | ₹11.1 L | ₹1.33 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 | 8.6% | 5.9% | ₹82.4 L | ₹13.4 L | ₹1.36 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.

Bengaluru long-run nominal trend: City-wide 2013-25 nominal residential trend ≈ inflation + real income growth.
Locality momentum (mean-reverting): Trailing 3.0-yr locality CAGR 12.9% vs 6.0% trend; 35% carried forward, halving each year.

Employment access & office pipeline: 6 msf office pipeline (3 yr) on 20 msf stock; 30-min jobs index 0.75.
Supply–demand balance: 16 months of unsold inventory; new-launch/absorption ratio 1.01 (from 26 under-construction RERA filings in this locality: 2,249 unsold homes, 140.4 sold per month).
Infrastructure delivery (probability-weighted): Pink Line Kalena Agrahara–Nagawara (construction, 2027, p=0.6); Blue Line KR Puram–Hebbal–Airport (construction, 2027, p=0.65); Phase 3A Sarjapur–Hebbal (planned, 2033, p=0.45)
