Which Plot to Buy Here

This is a plotted development — you buy a numbered plot on a sanctioned layout, not an apartment. There are no per-unit floor plans; the equivalent inventory is the plot schedule on the filed demarcation plan, which we read below. K-RERA publishes no official plot register for these projects, so this vision read of the developer's own filed sheet is usually the only structured source of plot counts and sizes — treat it as a strong starting point to verify against the builder's dimensioned plan for your specific plot, not a substitute for it.

How to weigh this buy — to live in, or to invest

A plot serves two very different buyers; what you should prioritise depends on which you are. This report is built for both.

If you're buying to build a home to live in — your priorities are the plot itself (facing, corner, park side — the daily-living things in the guide below) and whether the builder will hand over a fully developed plot: internal roads laid, water, power and sewer lines in, and your plot demarcated on the ground so you can actually start building. Clean title matters, but delivered infrastructure and a clear handover matter most. You hold as long as you like, so appreciation is a bonus here, not the reason to buy.

If you're buying as an investment — a plot is a multi-year land bet (often a 5–10 year hold) on the area around it. Bare land earns no rent while you hold it, so your return is appreciation minus holding cost — judge it as a land play: a resale-friendly size (see the liquidity read below), clean title for a quick exit, the micro-market's trajectory (see Location & Connectivity), and entry price against recent plot rates nearby.

Either way, the risk both buyers share is delivery: an under-construction plotted layout is only as good as the developer's ability to finish the roads and utilities and hand over clear, demarcated, clear-title plots on schedule. Century Real Estate has 11 of 21 other projects past their declared deadline without a completion certificate on file — read that alongside the escrow and construction-progress section before you commit (and note K-RERA's OC filing is patchy, so treat it as a prompt to dig, not a verdict).

Which plots to favour — and which to avoid

Whichever way you're buying, this is how to choose between the plots. Per-plot position isn't in the RERA filing, so the last step is a short list to take to the builder.

This is a large-format / villa-plot layout — the typical plot is about 1,749 sqft (~a 30×60) and they run from 538 to 4,102 sqft, so most are meant for building a sizeable independent home. Applying that to the actual plots: Largest / premium — biggest homes, highest ticket, and the slowest to resell in any plotted project (buy to build and live in, not to flip): the 19 plot(s) over ~2,400 sqft, up to 4,102 sqft (plot #25) — #74, #8, #11, #75, #13, #27, #92, #23, #88, #26, #91, #28, #93, #14 and 5 more. Standard sizes, easiest resale — the broadest buyer pool sits in the ~1,000–2,400 sqft band, which is the bulk here (40 plot(s)). Lowest entry price — the 27 smallest plot(s) (~538–1,000 sqft) are the cheapest way in, but confirm the footprint fits the home you want before you commit: #32, #33, #34, #35, #36, #38, #39, #40, #41, #42, #49, #50, #51, #52 and 13 more. Plot numbers and areas are read off the filed schedule (survey-number sub-parcels and faint reads set aside) — confirm each shortlisted plot's dimensioned area with the builder.

The best (and worst) plots, by number

We placed 129 of the numbered plots on the filed layout, read the road each fronts and the open space, utilities and north-east around them, and scored each on the factors an Indian plot buyer actually weighs. This is an approximate read of a faint drawing — a shortlist to confirm on the dimensioned plan, not a survey:

The plots that screen best overall — combining facing, an open north-east (vastu), park frontage and corner position: #301, #327, #9, #375, #376, #20, #19, #21, #328, #383, #16, #22.

The ones to think twice about — a west/south-west aspect, a utility backing onto them, or a road thrusting straight at the plot: #35, #36, #57, #99, #100, #101, #121, #302, #303, #330.

Why — the factors behind the ranking:

Open north-east (Ishanya) — a road or open space to the north-east, the vastu premium most buyers here weigh above all else: #9, #10, #11, #16, #19, #20, #21, #22, #23, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41 and 34 more.

East / north-facing — cooler through the day and the favoured main-door direction (from the road each plot fronts): #9, #16, #19, #20, #21, #22, #38, #39, #40, #41, #55, #56, #58, #59 and 21 more.

Corner plots — two open sides, more light and privacy: #9, #20, #300, #346.

Park-facing — a permanent open outlook: #47, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #53, #54, #57, #58, #59, #60, #61, #62 and 52 more.

Cul-de-sac / dead-end road — almost no through-traffic, quieter and safer for children, a genuine end-user draw: #19, #32, #34.

Utility-backing (discount) — an STP/tank/electrical cluster reads next to them: #35, #36, #37, #38, #39, #40, #41, #57, #58, #59, #60, #61, #62, #63 and 20 more.

Facing and north-east are inferred from the nearest road and the sheet's north marker — directional, not surveyed. Vastu weightings reflect common buyer preference, not a prescription; confirm anything decision-critical on the dimensioned plan or with a consultant.

Chase: East- or north-facing plots (the road runs along the east/north edge) — morning sun, cooler afternoons, the vastu-favoured main-door direction, and a real, durable resale premium, corner plots — two road frontages mean more light, air and privacy and an easier resale, at the cost of roughly double the compound-wall spend and a bit more street dust, plots facing or abutting the central park / open space — a permanent open outlook nobody can build out, which holds value, plots on a wider internal road — a plot on a 12m/18m road resells for more than the same size on a 9m lane and plots on a cul-de-sac / dead-end road — almost no through-traffic makes them quieter and safer for children, which end-user families pay up for. With 31% of this layout in open space, there are genuinely park-facing plots worth targeting — ask which they are.

Avoid: plots backing or adjoining the STP, OHT/underground tank, electrical substation or DG yard — sewage odour, pump/generator noise and EMF worries that permanently cap the resale price, plots at a T-junction where a road runs straight at the frontage (Veedhi Shula / road-thrust) — headlight glare and dust, and a vastu negative a large share of buyers here simply refuse, which thins the resale pool, plots right at the entry gate — headlight sweep, security traffic and dust and plots at the layout's low point — the natural drainage sink is the first to waterlog in a hard Bangalore monsoon; walk the site in the rain if you can.

K-RERA files the plot numbers and areas but not each plot's position or facing, so before you book, ask the builder to mark on the sanctioned layout, for your shortlist: (1) which are corner plots, (2) each plot's facing (which edge the road is on), (3) which face the park/open space, (4) where the STP, water tank, electrical yard and garbage bay actually sit, (5) each plot's abutting road width, and (6) which sit at a T-junction or on a dead-end/cul-de-sac. Then cross those against the schedule below. The filed sheet's north marker reads "north", so you can orient the layout yourself — but confirm each shortlisted plot's facing against the dimensioned plan.

Reading this layout

From the filed demarcation sheet (contrast-enhanced), a vision read of where things sit — directional, and worth confirming against the dimensioned plan.

On this layout, the open space / garden lies to the E and SW — the vastu-favoured north/east aspect that holds a resale premium; the plots fronting it are the ones to shortlist; a commercial/retail pocket sits on the layout (right side of the crop) — plots right beside it trade quiet for walk-to convenience, so decide which you want; a private third-party parcel not part of this layout (marked near Sy.No.33/6) is drawn inside the site boundary — check what it is and what can come up on it before buying an adjoining plot. The STP, water tank and electrical yard weren't legible on this pale sheet — have the builder point them out (plots backing them are the ones to discount). North on the sheet is toward the north.

Most plots run from 484 to 4,102 sqft (45–381 sq.m), with a median of about 1,749 sqft (162 sq.m) (a handful of outlier reads excluded from the range; the median below uses every plot).

Look up your plot

Every plot we could read off the schedule, with its area. Bare-number areas on the schedule are in square metres (the BIAAPA/K-RERA layout convention); the sqft column is converted. Individual cells are a vision read of a blueprint scan and can carry the odd misread — the counts and ranges above, computed across all rows, are far more reliable than any single cell.

Density, Parking & Open Space

How much of the plot the buildings actually cover, and how close the project ran to its permitted FAR/FSI — context that affects how crowded the site feels day to day, separate from any single unit's own size.

30.6% of the layout is open space — generous, well above the ~15% a sanctioned Karnataka layout typically must reserve, pointing to a lower-density, more park-rich development.

Land & Title

K-RERA land-survey/title rows summarize parcel extent, conversion, deed/JDA, khatha, and owner-share disclosures. 26 survey/parcel rows; land type: Own Land; 26/26 conversion/alienation marked YES; 26/26 deed marked YES; 0/26 JDA marked YES. Use this as a checklist for your lawyer, not as a substitute for title due diligence.

For the most buyer-critical non-plan PDFs, the report now downloads the actual filing and extracts conservative text cues. These cues are not legal opinions; they tell your lawyer what the RERA upload appears to contain and which documents need closer review.

Legal, Approvals & Project Team

No litigation declared on this project's K-RERA filing.

⚠ 1 of 24 compliance document slots are filed as under process / not yet usable: Brochure.

1 additional compliance slots are filed as Not Applicable.

No completion certificate (OC) on file yet — project has not been declared complete.

2 of 3 applicable approvals are on file; still outstanding: KSPCB- PCB (10 Acres to 125 Acres). Pollution-control clearance (KSPCB) is among them — a high-importance clearance, so confirm it has been granted (not just applied for) before you book.

8 further authority slots are marked not applicable by the regulator.

K-RERA names 2 project professional/vendor rows across Chartered accountant, Engineer. Use this to cross-check whose certificates, drawings, and contractor commitments support the filing; final reliance still belongs with your lawyer/technical reviewer.

Facilities & Paperwork Readiness

Key legal and booking documents surfaced from the K-RERA catalog. This is not legal advice and does not replace a lawyer's title due diligence, but it shows which drafts/filings are actually visible before you pay a token or sign.

Treat placeholders and missing rows as questions, not accusations: ask the builder for the current document and have your lawyer review the actual signed version before committing.

Century Real Estate has 21 other K-RERA-registered projects in our records — grouped across the several project-specific entities this developer registers under (e.g. this project is filed as “Century Dwellings”) (average reported construction progress 15%). 11 are past their declared completion deadline with no completion certificate recorded — but because K-RERA publishes OCs inconsistently, a project that has actually been finished and handed over still shows up this way, so this overstates real delays, especially for a high-volume established builder. That is a lower delayed rate than the K-RERA average across Bengaluru on the same measure.

Read this as a list to spot-check for a pattern of genuinely stalled projects, not as a delay rate — pull up a few of the builder's other K-RERA registrations and check whether they've actually been delivered.

Financials & Construction Progress

Latest quarterly filing (2025-Q4): ₹18.83 Cr collected from buyers, ₹6.36 Cr withdrawn from the project's escrow account.

• Construction progress moved from 76% to 90% across the filed QPR window.
• The builder has drawn 0.57x of buyer collections from escrow (about 57% of the ₹159 Cr collected) — money is largely staying in the regulated escrow account rather than being pulled out ahead of spend, which is the safer direction. A ratio near or above 1.0 would be the one to scrutinise.

QPR figures are developer-filed quarterly disclosures. Collections and withdrawals are not a project valuation; they are a sanity check for whether sales, construction progress, and escrow draws appear directionally aligned.

The estimated cost above is the developer's declared construction cost only (K-RERA's own label: "Estimated Cost of Construction as certified by Engineer") — it excludes land cost, so it isn't comparable to the buyer-collection figures below or to a sale price.

RERA 70% project account is on file: HDFC Vasanthnagar Branch, Bangalore IFSC Code : HDFC0003881 Pin Code : 560001. RERA requires 70% of buyer collections to sit in this separate, project-specific account, drawn only against certified construction milestones — confirm your payments are made to THIS account (not a general builder account) and that it appears on your allotment letter.
