Ok so you have been hunting for apartments in Bangalore? There are so many ads floating around in so many different media about various builders and their current/future projects, its really confusing and difficult to keep track. How i wish i had just one place where i got to see the all good builders! This way i will save myself a lot of time and effort. Now i dont need to keep those new paper clippings, cut those little corners from local ads neither i need to glue my ears to FM channels waiting for ads. 
Over past few months i have spent quite some time compiling a list of ‘good’ builders and their web sites. I am sharing the list for all others benifit. Just follow the link below to get the list,
Note that there are quite a few other builders in Bangalore. But i have not listed them here since i have not found enough information about them. Few are also excluded because i have got not so good recommendation about them from my acquaintances. I will keep adding to the list as i know of any new or grown up builder.
Update: July 17, 2009
Have a look at the following site too. Seems like a good one to help you with your property research.
Hi Guys,
Anyone know about NBR DEVELOPERS. Please give me your feed back.
Cheers
Hi,
Even I am interested to get a feedback about NBR developers. Does anyone deal with them

Hi,
I came across Bhoomika’s Parijatha in begur road , very close to Hosur road.
They are quoting 2300 /sqft & have 1550(2BHK) and 1700+ (3 BHK)
Did anyone do a site visit ? kindly share opinion about the builder.
Also since Begur lake is there , does any one have any idea about the situation during rains?
Hi tgvindia,
I have had a look at this place and I’m pretty impressed with the space inside the apartment(both inside the flat as well as the common area). They wud furnish your apartment too at a flat rate of 2500/- if you can negotiate well. Only issue I have had with this place is 1) 2 km from Bommanahalli main road 2) Hard water
If you can manage to live with these two issues, Parijatha is a good buy for u.
Hi Liju,
I came to know from the builder that they provide both borewell and cauvery water. Is that right? Also do you know anything about the construction quality there.
Hey Amit,
Could you please let us know how one can access all the comments from the previous posts as there is a lot of information available in those posts.

frnds,
this is slightly different question, can anyone put some light on home loan insurance policy, different service providers, their schemes and the best possible service provider. I have taken a hosuing loan from LIC for 20 lakhs, and am in the process of getting more information abt the Home loan insurance coverage for the entire duration of loan (this case 15 yrs)
guys do put some light on this as am sure this will help other aspirant dream home purchasers.
all the best for your home search -:)
thnx

Has anyone availed loan from SBI? I have been told about the following charges by an , if I go with SBI -
Charges that Occur in the Process of Entire Home Loan with SBI .
Processing Fees :-NILL-
Stamp Duty @ .25 % for Sale Agreement Value by way of Demand Draft favouring
SUBREGISTRAR, BEGUR Payable @ Bangalore
Stamp Duty @ .25 % For Construction Agreement Value by way of Demand Draft favouring
SUBREGISTRAR, BEGUR Payable @ Bangalore
Franking Charges Rs.350/- by way Cash along with the Demand Drafts.
Legal Charges around Rs.1500/- by way of Cash
Stamp Paper Charges of Rs.2000/- Approx., for Home Loan Agreement with SBI after your Home Loan is Sanctioned

Postal Stamps worth around Rs.25/- at the time of Documentation with SBI
Encumberance Certificate around Rs.200/- at the time of Documentation with SBI
For me all these are summing upto Rs 15-17K. If there are so many charges then why do they claim that processing fee is NILL, what is processing fee all about then?
Thanks,
Ravi
Do you have any idea about Springfields apartment on Sarjapur Road? Anybody has any opinion on the water problem around that area.
Can registrations happen without Khata? There area few blocks there which doesnt have khata.
Is it possible that a few blocks have khata and not all?
Hi Guys,
Any thought of The Empyrean project.
Its about 17ksm from Whitefield – which is the only grouse I have – apart from that, I have seen the model villa and it is amongst the most high end houses I have seen in Bangalore.
If any one has booked there, please let me know your feedback.
Hi Pawan,
Do you have any pictures of the model house? Also, how much are they quoting for the villas? Do you have the details? What is the timeline for completion?
Regards,
Manisha
Hi Manisha,
They are quoting 47 lakh for Prestino(entry level villa). The phase 1 will be completed in 2011 end. For details you can visit at http://www.the-empyrean.in/
smr vinay galaxy when enquired in july the completion date was april2010 now they are saying sep 2010.the prize is 2300 .pls suggest can we go for it.
I have bought a flat in SMR vinay galaxy and also got the loan approved by SBI. I think you can try to negotiate for a price better than what is been offered to you. Regarding the completion date you should be ready to wait even till the year end. Only then go for this project.
I booked flat in Galaxy and cancelled as the project may take 2 more years to complete. Amenities are curtailed….300 flats and only 2 borewells. 30X40 clubhouse. I got it for 1810Rs. Only 70% carpet area.
Raghu, I think you wasted a good deal, instead of cancelling you could have sold and made atleast 300-350 psqft profit
. Regarding borewells it does’nt matter you have 2 or more, since in hoody area there is a scarcity of ground water. I am not sure on what basis you concluded the project would take another 2 years. If 2 years is including all the amenties i can agree with you if not i dont think so. I had been tracking the progress of this project almost every day for the last few months and the progress of construction has improved and I am sure it would be ready for interiors some later half of next year. Well regarding amenties I agree the club house is small but its has its own pro’s and con’s. There’s more monthly maintenance involved for a bigger club house and you can see how much builders with a very good club house charge as a monthly maintenance.
Vaishnavi Rathnam seems to be in a very good area , 4KM from yeswanthpur RS and 6 kms from iskcon.
Project is also very near NH4 and in the vicinity of 3-4 Metro stations which will be coming up during Phase 3 & Phase 4 of metro project.
Anyone please comment on the builder , area & the project
Hey folks,
I have booked a 2bhk in Concorde Manhattans, finally. And yes, they look to be on track to complete the entire project by Jan/Feb 2010 (inclusive of all amenties). Currently they are quoting 2764/- per sqft for a 2bhk and Rs 3025/- per sqft for a 3bhk. If anybody’s interested in purchasing one there, buzz me offline(I can assure you apartments at a discounted rate)
Cheers,
Liju
Hi Liju, Not sure where you received this information about completion date of concorde manhattan. I’ve multiple friends who’ve booked and as per builder notification in October, the completion date is postponed by 6 months to April 2010. This project should have been already ready for possession by now. Also there are couple of blocks where constrcution is not in full swing and will continue for 1 more year.
Well, I spoke to their MD and he did confirm that they would complete the entire project by June ‘09(taking the buffer months into consideration). But most of the apartments/amenities would be ready to move in by Feb 2010. Have you had a look at the site, recently?
Any feedback about Sumadhura’s Sandoval???

Confident – Atria ( Seems a little Pricey – they are quoting upwards of 1550/SFT)
Aisshwarya Samskruthi – http://www.aisshwaryagroup.in/ . Not sure of the builder credentials.

Any Idea about the Sukritha Buildmann.

Any comments about the builder?

Hi,
Does someone has inputs on Salapuria Symphony on Housur road. What is the expected price for a 2.5 BHK flat there.
Regards,
Vikram
Hi Vikram,
I ahd enquired about Salarpuria Symphony few backs back and they quoted me close to 54 lakhs for 2.5 BHK. @2,700 per sqft for 8th floor. What price are they quoting now?
Regards,
Parry
Hi Parry,
I am getting a re-sale at 5th floor and the guy is quoting 2600 pqsf.
Do you have any information on quality or any legal issue if there?
Regards,
Vikram
Quality is good and I don’t think there is any legal issue.
2,600 for resale is on higher side. So far I know, builder is OK upto 2,550 and resalse should obviously be lower than this.

Parry
Parry,
Thanks for your input!!

ANY BODY KNOW RULING PRICE IN MYSORE ROAD NEAR RAJARAJESWARI LAYOUT ABOUT RESIDENTIAL APARTMANTS.
Hi,
I am evaluating a property at Surakshaa Fair View, can anyone share his/her experience with the builders from their current or past projects in Bangalore or Hyderabad ?
Thanks
Has any one booked a flat in the project NEOTOWN- Bangalore is a 120 acre integrated township Smondoville (PATEL REALTY) near electronic city? If yes, please post in your comments.
Hi Swaroop,
I checked their website. It sounds promising and the prices seem to be attractive.
Based on the info posted on their website, it sounds like buying a 2 bedroom flat is a better bargain compared to a studio or BHK.
Studio I BHK 2 BHK
Built up Area 248.25 448.69 678
Super Built Of area 360 635 895
BA % of SBA 69% 71% 76%
So in a 2 BHK you get a higher floor area for the price.
Do keep us posted on the final price/SFT they settled for.
Cheers
Tan
Tan, They are quoting 24L for 2 BHK and said negotiable. Have you visited the site?
Hi Tan, Swaroop,
Even i am planning to book a flat in smondoville, I would like to know your advice if you have visited the site and final price on the same. Could you please sen your mail ids so taht we can keep in touch.
Regards,
Murali
Hi guys,
I have booked one. For owners I want to start a community.
please visit http://smondoville.blogspot.com and sign up on google groups.
the price is at 1895 per sq feet for initial 5 towers. the inside towers have a premium price of 1995 per sq feet. I am still skeptical on negotiation, as the flats are flying of like hot cakes, thanks to BLR public.
more details on patel engineers can be had off the internet.

To the owner of the blog: How can i see ALL the comments? I had seen it in the past but now i am not able to see it. Can you advice.
All,
Has Salarpuria lived up to the expectations in its “Serenity” project in HSR layout. It is ready to occupy status and they are charging 3600 psqft. Is it on the higher side? Has anyone taken apartment there? Any complaints/legal issues/forums for discussion etc? Any general feedback would be really helpful.
Thanks,
Arun
Anyone know’s about Vaishnavi Rathnam . Its 4KM from yeshwanthpur jn.
I am planning to book there and builder is quoting 2500 . I asked for 2400 and he is mostly ok with it. Did anyone book here ? Any comments ?
I saw in the above posts that builder is coming down to 3200 for Vaishnavi Nakshatra(near Yeshwanthpur JN) which was quoted at 3500.
I booked here last month. The price I got is 2425/sqft.
Hi,
Just wanted to know whether you have booked any flat here. Myself and 2 of my colleagues are planning to book here.
Wanted your feedback.
Regards,
Santosh
AFAIK , it is very strategically located . Although one might debate pros/cons of this project , i believe that it is definitely not going to make you repent even 1%
Not yet Swaroop, planning to speak to them for a visit over the week end. BTW I mailed them asking for info and they informed that the completion would take close to 24 months.
Hi Tan,
Did u manage to visit the site, I am waiting to hear from you,
Regards,
Murali
Hi Murali and Tan,
As such there is nothing at the site except for the road that cuts through the place, model flats and few sign boards that marks the proposed location for various buildings. They are launching it on 18th Nov, and you get the pocession by Dec-2011 if everything goes as scheduled.
I had visited the site. They have made the model flats available and those looks decent. They say they are giving Jaguar fittings and johnson tiles etc… could be a marketing gimmick… not sure though
Hi Swaroop, Thanks for the information. did u get any idea if they are bargaining on price.
Has anyone heard of/visited the site of Sowparika Ananda in Sarjaour? Any feedback?
Hi Shekhar,
I have infact visited the place 3 times. its 34 Kms from MG road.
The construction is good and price is also pretty low, 1575 per sq ft all inclusive, excluding registration charges.
I have actually cancelled my booking, just because its really far.

/sanjay
Hi All,
Any feedback on Ajmera Infinity. I am planning to buy a 2 BHK flat there.
What should be the rate/SFT in this area (Near eCity – Phase1) ?
Basic price is 2250/- per sqft. A 2bhk should come to around 36 lakhs(all inclusive)
Thanks Liju. How are the builder and the quality of work.
Look pretty good and reputed. Close to 81% carpet area. Over 80% construction completed, but still they say that the handover would be in Dec 2010 only – kinda surprised. Hence, I moved on to Concorde Manhattans which is 100 mtrs away from Ajmera and booked there. Do let me know if you would be interested in Manhattans.
Hi, Does any one has idea about Magnum developers?
we have seen a flat in balaji pristine in whitefield area.. Builder is quoting 2350/- per sqft.
Is this price good for this area ? If anyone has booked, kindly tell the price for the same. Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
Hi,
I had enquired about this project almost six months back. At that point builder was quoting around 2200/sqft. I am not sure what is the price right now. In the last six months I had seen the project progressing very well.
as such how is this area .. any idea about builder or construction quality…
Location wise Balaji Pristine is very good. Schools, hospital, groceries, market and busstop are nearby. Opposite to this apartment there is good BDA park with a decent size play ground, very rare to find in this part of Bangalore. I basically backed off( six months back) due to some differences with the marketing guy Mr.Venkat. He was not so comfortable when ever I was asking about the builder details and also was not ok for me going for a home loan with SBI.
i m planning to buy in veracious lansdale in whitefield which is next to forum value mall. Project has just been started and completion is march-2011. Please provide valuable opinion.
What is the current rates at Veracious Lansdale? I heard it will get completed by 2012

Hi friends,
Just went through the Value Homes ad by Brigade Group(check The Hindu Newspaper ad dated 26/11/09).It was sounding very interesting & looks like it has the least risk factor even if one wishes to cancel registration. The issue is its a pre-launch offer & they are yet to get any approvals. They will be launching it only after 6-12 mths once approval is obtained.But,the registration ends by Dec 6th,2009. I am interested in the KR Puram project. Is it worth booking a flat at this point? Or is it wise to wait until all approvals are obtained? Pls give me your valuable feedback. Thanks.
obviously not worth to book right now, unless you want to forget your money for 3 – 4 years with a weekly pain of following up with builder on status. I dont think even priceis right. In case, it is worth to pay little extra when project becomes credible in terms of approvals and some action on the ground. It’s risky, to book in any pre-launch offers, advertised to create a hype, unless you feel atleast 50% will get booked, Until that happens, it’s unlikely any real work on project will start. Builder will seat on your cash and may use it for other projects.
Also, it seems they are not giving any choice in terms of floor/flat direction etc to you. you need to decide if you want to buy something which costs in million+ without any choice. It may be best way for them to dispose of all odd facing, low demand type houses in pre launch offer because anyway those are sold at a discount.
Exactly.
I went to there office, the high headed execs were so snobbish. I was seriously feeling, low cost properties == beggars.
I visited smondoville (neotown) breathe easy, its good and refreshingly different. The president of the Patel group, Mr. Praveen was a thorough gentleman and easily accessible. the Execs although crowded by folks drawing checks
(you can understand how good is the bangalore crowd), were courteos and helpful, to the extent they could.
I booked one. I am looking forward for like minded folks to join on http://smondoville.blogspot.com/

Brigade sent a Pre-launch of Metropolise in August 2005 with the launch to be done in Dec 2005 at 1500/Sqft. Thus is 2009 Dec the project is still not completed. Look at their floor plans even for a 1800 Sqft flat costing above 60 lakhs at the present rate has bedrooms very small. There is nothing you get extra, all the ammeneties are being charged to you on a yearly/Monthly basis. Spend 60 plus lakhs for an apartment which will look small after a few years and then also pay Rs.4000 to Rs.5000 maintenance every month even for people who have now taken Possesion without any ammenities still ready and construction still going on.
No point, techies will not learn lesson, they will still fall over each other to grab pre-launch offer, (just check previous blog), they dont bother whether project is approved or not, They will try to save few lacs by grabbibg pre-launch offers blindly, and dont bother about giving away many more lacs to builder for ever….without getting their share in return.
They save few lacs in pre-launch or launch time offer and then pay much more in terms of EMIs, every weeks’s site visit to check progress, fighting with builders, giving money for non existing amenities, modification charges
Hi Friends,
Finally we brought the flat in Purva Riveria Marathalli. After seeing like 30 odd builders in that area.

Hi,
I am planning to book a flat for Durga Rainbow located at Mahadevpura near Marathalli adjecnt to More supermarket.
Can anyone of you update how is this builder since he has 2 completed projects on outer ring road, near to Intel
Your valuable comments and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Nila
@Nila, its a good builder. Does have some issues regarding timelien and all but still quite reliable. You can go for it. What rate are thye quoting and when is the completion?
Dear Maxi,
Thank you for your feeback.
They are Quoting me 2740 (50/-) less than what they tell their pre-launch offer price.
I am negotiting for more discount, the issue here is they are charging VAT @ 12% why I fail to understand… as they make atleast more Rs.200/- on a Sq.feet. Also the KPTCL/BWSSB is charged @ 175/- per sq.ft which is again little on a higher side.
Does VAT is still applicable as some builders don’t apply? can you be able to give me some info on this
Once again thanking you for your feedback
Best Regards
Nila
@Nila,
Can you give me the contact of Durga Rainbow. Web site or something should also do.
Is theree any feedback on MAKINDIA developers ? Their site is http://www.makindia.in
They have a parkview project at Sarjapur. Any thoughts on how this project is ?
Hi,
Has anyone review ETA star property in Magadi road called ‘Gardens’. They have about 937 apts in 16 acres with all amenities. The handover is to be done shortly. The rate from the builders is around 3400/- but I see there are resale apts for as much as 2800-3200/-. Does anyone know if there is any issue with the apartments, builders (considering the dubai real estate doom), etc. The location is close to city railway station (1.5 km) and perhaps the metro too..considering all this, I would expect their rates comparable to other high end builders around the central business area, but this is much cheaper..would like to know if someone has an insight on this..
Hi
