    1. Hi Ashok,

      Yes it can be considered because the scope is more in future for appreciation. Also you can look at Nikoo Homes / L&T Raintree Boulevard as an option.

    2. I see what you are saying Harish. But the presence of burial / crematorium appears to have caused a serious impact on its appreciation potential . What do you think of that ?

    3. Hi Aj,

      Overall the Market sentiment and correction in the sector has impacted the growth factor, Not only in Sobha City, across other projects as well, going forward one can see good value in future, also now the trend for ready to move in projects are good; if you consider as a whole project we don’t think the issue with the burial ground, because there are very few units left in the project to get sold, so which shows the positive trend!

    4. Thanks Harish,
      I have a budget of 1.3 . I am looking for a large 3 bhk apartment in a good location -sarjapur , hennur belt s well Whitefield . Could your team help me identify the right projects to choose from.
      I thought Sobha city is a good one. Please help

    5. Hi Aj

      Yes, Please talk to my team member Mr. Team Homz N Space @ 9590144144. He will assist you on your requirement.

  6. Hi Harish, what’s your pick between Sobha City, and L&T Raintree Blvd. in North Bengaluru from an appreciation/ROI perspective. While Sobha city is ready to move in with immediate rental income whereas Raintree is a later possession but considering the advantages. and dis. advantages of location of them which one would be a good investment.

    Plus, is 6100/sft base price ‘now’ worth an investment in Sobha City Santorini -1 Balconies towards the City/Police quarters (graveyard view is far away).
    So is 1.18cr (all incl. and excl. regn.) for a 1740sft 3BHK North-East facing unit with above conditions is worth an investment?

    Also what’s your thought on ready-to-move flat (resale) at Adarsh Palm Retreat in South Bengaluru on the ORR. I think rental income is definitely more here but I’m not sure about any good appreciation that I can expect in 3-5 years down the line.

    Appreciate your inputs as well as from others about your opinion.

    Thanks

    1. Hi Bala,

      It is good decision to buy at Adarsh Palm Retreat; because the whole area is getting good infrastructure with surplus IT surrounded in the vicinity.

  8. Hi Harish,

    I have booked a flat at shobha city by paying booking amount (5 lakhs through cheque which has been encashed). the sale agreement is yet to be done. what happens if i change my mind and decide to cancel the booking. How difficult it is to cancel and what is the cancellation charge.

    1. Hi S Sharma,

      As per the terms of sobha the complete booking amount will be forfeited.

  9. Hi Harish,

    How would you compare Sobha City with L&T Raintree. Raintree demands a premuim of 15% right now. Is this justified? Also, are there any major infra upgrades planned on Thanisandra road (like metro, road widening)?

    Thanks,

    Sri

    1. Hi Sri,

      The location of L&T Raintree is on the main NH7 and connectivity is very good when compared to Sobha City, hence the price difference and which is justifiable.
      As of now the metro is planned till Elements mall (Thanisandra Road) which is Phase 2 line 4 (Nagavara to Gottigere Line)

    2. Undivided share at L&T is far low compared to Sobha and others, not sure how it can be factored into the price comparisons.

    1. Hi Praveen,

      As per your query, as both the projects has advantages, suggest you to choose the location as per your ease of location convenience in respect to your work, schools etc.. and preferred choice of unit.

  11. Hi, Harish, do you see any issue of Rajkaluve on the Sobha City development please, it will be helpful as i am planning to buy the CASA PARADISO 3 near the lake, have paid the token advance, an immediate view of yours will be appreciated, anyone else aware of the same can also enlighten me. Also give your view on the product and from appreciation perspective.

    1. Hi Abhishek,

      As far as we know the issue of new NGT norms are applicable for the new developments i.e w.e.f May 2016 onwards and also till date there is no clarity on the implication of the same to new projects, But coming to sobha city, the project has all the clearance pertaining to environment so we don’t see any issues as this is being retrospective in nature.

  13. Hi Harish ! I intend to buy a Flat @ Sobha City – Santorini. Please advise if its worth investing ? Also, please let me know the current rental and the appreciation value if i hold on for 3 years from now. Your response on this wpuld be highly appreciated. Best Regards

    1. Hi Varun,

      Yes, Sobha city is good project for both self use as well as for investment; currently the expected rental would vary between 25k to 40k for minimum size of 3 BHK and it depends on interior outlook and preferential location of the unit.
      And CAGR for YOY basis would fetch you around 10%

    1. Hi Smitha,

      I suggest you to retain Ozone urbana for some more time. There are beautiful projects planned by Tata & Godrej in 2016.

  19. Hi Harish
    What is your current take on sobha city? The crematorium work has started again and what do you think customers who have invested in a graveyard facing property can expect in terms of rental and resale? We have a Paradiso 3 bhk crematorium facing.
    What are our prospects?
    Balaji

    1. Hi Balaji,

      As far as i know, Crematorium is non functional. for time being Graveyard facing units will have low rental potential when compared with other units.

    1. Hi Abhishek,
      Sobha city – i am not sure if you have already visited the site or not. From the completion perspective, it is already completed before than schedule time.
      All the features and amenities are in place, unlike other builder’s project.

      Living wise, it very much apt for stay and enjoy.
      just try to avoid crematorium facing flat, though there are discussion going to move that. It is better to avoid that view. Apart from that it is really worth putting money here!
      Quality of the project is also good. Now people have started interiors, and waiting for OC.

    2. Hi Abhishek,
      Crematorium is not functional from past several years.. Yes there is a graveyard but eventually tress will be covered. besides Its a worth property to buy and stay.

    1. It’s a bad investment… The prices have already saturated…
      Paradiso phase 1 – 1.5+reg
      Serenita – 1.2+ reg
      Mykonos – 1Cr + reg
      Santorini is part of phase 2 – 1.2+reg

  28. Please don’t deal with Vinod Jacob and Melbin Sebastian from Sobha for any deal. They are the biggest con and will decieve you with promise and not even pick up your call when the deal is done..I have faced them, so just wanted to apprise all about these two guys..

  31. Hi,

    I have booked a flat in Sobha City and on some payment milestone they have added some interest which is wrong considering that I was not given enough notice on this payment. I have been dealing with the Sales guys who initially promised that this Interest will be waived off but now they say it will not be.

    I would like to initiate a legal case on this. Need your advice on how can I do that. Also I would like to advise people in this please refrain from dealing with this two Sales guys ( Melbin, Vinod ) who does lot of promise and at the last moment don’t even fulfill a single one. Dangerous guys to deal with.

  37. hi Bharat

    Please let me know the right residential property in Bangalore as an investment for 3-5 years, preferably under construction, the budget is Rs 50 lacs to Rs 1 crore.

    Your response would be much appreciated.

    1. Hi Sharada,

      It is abbreviated as Comprehensive Development Plan, dictates public policy in terms of transportation utilities recreation
      CDP’s are mandate for large size project to provide better connectivity from either side of the projects as well as to provide public utilities for the surroundings.

    2. Hi Harish,
      Can you explain it little more! Is it a possibility that the Sobha city road can be thrown open for layout like Brigade Millenium or the road is private property of Sobha.

    3. Hi Ashok,

      Yes it is of CDP road and it will be relinquished to govt and shall be opened to the public in future similar to brigade millennium

  40. Hi Harish, I want to buy 3bhk, but confused between sobha City stentorini, Sobha Halcyon White field and Brigade Cosmospolis whitefield. Basically I know sobha city is really unique and I m loving it but getting confused because Sobha whitefield and Brigade whitefield as prime locality can fetch better rent/ appreciation in comparison to Hebal. Between Sobha halcyon and brigade cosmopolis, brigade looks better, do you agree.
    Pls guide me.

    Also what to know which builder is better in terms of construction quality, customer satisfaction and customer response between Sobha and Brigade. Pls help to give your opinion.

    1. Hi Abhishek

      Comparing b/n Sobha City/Halcyon/Brigade Cosmopolis, Sobha City would be the ideal option. B/n Cosmopolis and Halcyon – Cosmopolis holds advantage only in terms of LOCATION. Sobha holds upper hand in terms of customer satisfaction and quality of construction.

    2. Between the two, I suggest you pick Sobha City. Future growth prospects and proximity to IT parks is a big plus. The community concept and layout in itself is impressive.

  43. Hi Harish,
    There are a lot of projects coming up Thanisandra Road. What is the future plans of the government for this area? We see a lot of unauthorized encroachments also when we go from Nagawara junction on Thanisandra road. Is it really worth it to invest ?

    1. Hi SRM,

      Its a 100 ft Approach Road for the project….Besides, IT Park, 5 Star Hotel, Shopping Malls are coming in Bharathiya City which is just backside of sobha city. As of Sobha City is good for self use than for investment. If you are looking for pure investment, i suggest you to consider Bharatiya City.

  44. Hi Harish, Could you please advise me on Bhartiya city with the best rates that I can get from their marketing partners like fullerton? I will be working in Aerospace SEZ. Whats your view on Ferns North Star for plots?
    Whats your opinion about JS-Group-Lake Mist near yelahanka?

    1. Hi Prasad NN,

      Sorry, We have not reviewed Ferns North Star & JS-Group-Lake Mist. So, Wont be able to comment.

  47. Hi Harish, looking to buy a 3 bhk for self use initially/ rent and resale after few years, in sobha city serenita, wing 3, facing rear, C1 type. As per sobha marketing team all the front view has been sold out. Could you please help with your inputs in below points:
    1. Will it fetch a good rent, considering rear view. Balconies are facing open ground and seems no other flat would have direct view to this one.
    2. If we want to resell it after 5 years, will we get good returns.
    3. Somehow I am feeling 1 Kw power back up for 3 bhk apptmnts seems insufficient. Prestige and other builders are nowadays providing 100% back up.
    4. We are unable to find the direction of this flat. Not sure what facing this one would have..would you be able to help pls?
    Thanks much in advance.

    1. Hi Ruchi,

      Based on your requirement, I advise you to consider Baratiya City / G Corp Icon.

  48. Hi Harish, I am interested in a 3bhk flat in and around Malleshwaram and should be ready to move in by December this year. I want the room sizes to be spacious. It could be a new property or a resale property. Can you suggest a value for money property.
    Regards
    Cmde. Shiroor

  50. I have a flat in casa serinita in wing4. The balcony is facing the open space and east. No no scarcity of air and light anytime. It is one of the early staged booking advantage. I have purchased it solely for investment. Now I want to sell it out.
    Please contact me for further detail.

  51. Dear Harish,

    I am considering one of the two Sobha projects on Thanisandra road, Sobha City and Sobha Chrysanthemum. We are looking for ready-to-move-in or close to completion. Which would you recommend between the two projects? We are hesitant about Sobha City due to the graveyard and crematorium. We liked Chrysanthemum, as it is a reasonable sized community and there are unfurnished units. I am not sure how to compare these two. Can you kindly let us know your opinion on how these projects stack up? Thank you.

    1. Hi Chetana,

      In my view if you see sobha city mykonos block is away from the graveyard place. It is as good as it is not present in the vicinity.
      Moreover, mykonos along with serenita blocks are going to be ready for possesion in next few months, probably feb 2015 onwards.

      Rest Harish can answer.

    2. Hi Chetana,

      Sobha City & Chrysanthemum cant be compared. Reason being, Sobha City is unique and bigger project. No doubt Chrysanthemum is decent project. My suggestion would be sobha city with central Spain view or amenity view.

  52. Hi Harish,
    I wanted some clarity on how should the project price be considered while re-selling the apartment, example i buy sobha city for Rs 5000/sqft & with taxes generally the price goes up by 20%, so in reality i am paying Rs 6000/sqft.

    While selling if the apartment sells for 7000/sqft then the appreciation is not more than 17%.
    Compared to if the users would have bought it from the builder at the same time they would have to pay taxes & in actual for the price of 7000/sqft, they would end up paying 8400/sqft.

    Is the market value of the resale apartment equals to the price paid for per sqft + taxes? which in above example Rs 8400 sqft? or it will be 7000/sqft?

    1. Hi Sunit Mehra,

      It will be on 8400 Sq.ft. Base price is just a bench mark. Resale happens on over all price which includes your profit + taxes and other charges.

    1. Hi Harish,
      Can you pls reply to my above query. What is rental for Mykonos 3BHK after possession.
      Also rate this property compared to Brigade northridge that is coming on the same road soon.

    2. Hi Muthuraj

      At the outset comparing Northridge to Sobha City is a wrong comparison. Sobha City is a premium project with Mediterranean Life style concept and Northdridge is a smaller project. For rental you can expect 35000 / Month post possession in Mykonos.

    1. I think wing4 is a corner flat.Yes it is good investment. You can expect 6000 plus per sq feet at the time of possession.

  58. For everyone who has some questions on Sobha City. Crematorium work is halted as directed by Hon Bengaluru High Court. Also BBMP has sanctioned Carvery Water Pipeline. Most of the Phase 1 construction is complete and project is ahead of schedule. I am currently looking for decent Interior work contractor (not expensive) as i expect in next month or so we will be asked to start wood work…while many have apprehensions on project..this is a 3000CR project for Sobha and they will leave no stone unturned to clear petty issues. I am sure Sobha is thinking of buying that graveyard in future and building a mall (no offense to anyone) but this is reality today.

    I heard of some offer they have right now around 5100/- or so. With Modi Sarkar and Economy picking up (see the adds on hiring and pls read real estate news bangalore and pune are today most preferred destinations for office spaces) In a year it will touch 6000/- is my guess

    Note. I am not sales person but rather owner and happy to retain my unit from a long term perspective

    1. Same is my requirement. @Harish Please suggest some good ready to move or possession within 1 year options.

    2. Next door neighbor vajram essenza is a very good option. Next door to Sobha city, very cheap compared to Sobha city and appears to be good quality construction.

    3. Hi Hema

      You may consider Purva Seasons which is near to MG road located in CV Raman Nagar. 3 KMS from Indranagar.

  62. Hi Harish.. I have 2 properties in Bangalore (Sobha Dahlia @ Sarjapur ORR & Brigade Matropolis) – both are 3-BHK . Also booked Sobha City Mykonos at pre-launch price. I am planning to invest in a project in Chennai and need cash for it . Which one is better to retain in terms of value appreciation in the future & which is a better one to sell – Sobha Dahlia or Brigade Metropolis. Not planning to sell Sobha City Mykonos as it might appreciate more after completion .. is this correct thought process. Can you advise pls. Thanks

    1. Hi Sridhar

      I would suggest you to retain Brigade Metropolis as project has good potential for rental and further scope for appreciation

  63. Dear Mr Harish,

    I have a flat in Purva Fairmont at HSR layout. I bought it in 2002 when the project was launched. I plan to sell it since it has been about 13 years and invest the money in some other project and wanted to ask your advice…
    1. Should I sell the flat in Purva Fairmont and invest somewhere else?
    2. If yes, can you recommend one or two good projects that I should consider?

    I prefer to invest with a reputed builder such as Sobha or Purvankara. I was looking at Sobha City but looks like I am a bit late here since the project was launched more than a year ago and the price has already gone up. Are there any other good projects that you would consider a good investment?

    Appreciate your advice and thank you in advance!

    Regards,
    Rajesh

    1. Hi Rajesh,

      I advise you to sell your Purva Fairmont and invest in either Sobha Silicon Oasis / Purva Westend.

  65. Dear Mr Harish
    I am interested in buying a flat in Bharatia city, what is the situation of Bharatia city viz vaz graveyard, is it also adjacent to graveyards or will the actual nikoo homes building not face those?

    1. Hi S.Harsha,

      Purva Palm Beach is good project to invest. Considering the current demand,We have projected Rs. 6500 / Sft by end 2017

  67. Dear Harish, Thanks for your update on the Sobha City project and the crematorium status…, I have also heard that they are yet to get approval for the tree plantation in the Hindu graveyard, while work has commenced on tree plantation in the other two adjacent graveyards. There was also some talk about a decision from the court on the status of the crematorium…. Sobha has not made any communication on the progress. Is anyone aware of any developments and Harish do you have any news, which you can share with us ? Thanks very much, in advance. Arvind

  68. Sobha must be trying hard to get rid of the crematorium. Of course not the graveyard and this was a gamble they took like most reputed builders here and abroad. But the crematoruim must have been a shocker for them. This was supposed to be their signature project and the land belongs to them ( no JV ) and hopefully they will work hard to get the crematorium and maybe future burials in the graveyard on hold. Hopefully !

  69. Why has the matter been taken to Supreme court when this case was being heard in Karnataka High Court? Did Sobha developers seek stay order in the High Court first and if so, what happened to such a petition? The question of going to the Supreme Court would come only if such a petition has not been granted in the High Court. Why is the builder not being transparent on this matter? Can anyone find out the facts?

  70. I recently visited the site and the sales team confirmed that the crematorium is on stay. However, if anyone can suggest the pros and cons of this project, I would make up my mind. I have one apartment on 17th floor in Casa Paradiso. Depends on the outcome, I may either sell it or keep it.

    1. Hi Premnath,

      I have Serenita Apartment in the project knowing all the issues as the project is really nice with Sobha’s reputation as best in class builder in mind. Also, to allay your fears, I bought it for end use and would not put my hard earned money in jeopardy.

    2. Thank you Mr. Gupta for your positive thoughts. Yes you are right, knowing the fact that the project is a class one, don’t feel like getting out. Let us wait and see the response from both Sobha & the order from the Supreme Court.

    1. I mailed my crm but he nither confirmed nor denied the news. He said he would come back with more information. Not sure why Sobha would like to hold back any good news if there are any.

  72. Dear Harish, I have booked a Central spine facing flat in Sobha City, Casa Paradiso Block A2, (the apartment block closer to the clubhouse ) with East facing main door. Earlier I saw a lot of comments about the graveyards and the crematorium behind Casa Paradiso A1 block, but in recent times not much mention of the same. Has the issue been resolved and what price can I expect on resale ?

    1. Hi Arvind,

      As per my latest discussion with Sobha Team. Sobha Developers has approached supreme court and bought the stay order for Crematory activity. Builder is planning for planning to plant trees to avoid graveyard view.

    2. Dear Harish,

      How true is this approach made by Sobha to Supreme Court? I am a customer myself and I have not heard of any such thing myself. Is this really new?

      Harsha

    3. Hi Harsha Kasi,

      I came to know about this during my latest discussion with Sobha Sales Team. If Sobha Wins the case. You will receive the official communication.

    1. Hi Rama Bisa,

      It would be wise decision to invest in sobha silicon Oasis as its near to Electronics city, Silk Board & Hosa Road connecting to sarjapur Road. Projected Rental For 3 BHK is 35000. Minimum 50 % ROI by 2017

  75. Any one interested to buy a 3bhk in Mykonos please call me on 09873425146. I had bought a Mykonos unit with terrace garden on 3rd floor assuming we will move to Bangalore, but have not yet. Learnt that the final installment letter will be raised this quarter. Meaning the unit is complete but ommon area work remains, which should get done before end of year.

  76. Hi Harish,

    I am looking for a 3 bedroom flat in Bangalore North. I have seen Bharatiya City and Sobha City. I liked Sobha City and they have offered an apartment in Santorini-2 facing Row Houses for 1.23. I came to know about G Corp Icon which I have not seen. I see that this is more closer to city. How is the construction & plan of G Corp Icon. What do you suggest on this. Are there any other good properties in Bangalore North which I need to consider.
    Thanks for your valuable suggestions.

    Regards,
    Anup

    1. Hi Anup,

      G corp offers decent construction & good floor plans… but not to compare with sobha City. Based on your requirement i suggest you to consider Sobha City.

  79. Hi, I own a 3bhk in sobha city Santorini wing 1 which is row house facing. I have been hearing about prices is already saturated in and around Hebbal. Would this give me a good return? If so how much appreciation can i expect? And also what is the rent i can expect around 2016 when it gets launched.

    1. Hi Visu,

      Prices at north bangalore are appreciating at tread of 15 – 17 % per year. so there there no scope of saturation. You can Expect 30 – 35 K per month as rent for 3 BHK.

  80. Dear Harish, we are looking for pre launch offers . and got to know that godrej is coming up with pre launch in whitefield. can you please if that will be a good buy? we already have a apartment in Sobha city mykonos 5th floor corner flat.( not facing graveyard-phase 1 booking). we are in double mind about keeping or selling

    1. Hi Meenakshi,

      As of now, We have not received any communication about Godrej New project at Whitfield. If your unit is non graveyard facing. Then i advise you to hold the unit.

  81. hi harish, your suggestions and reviews are good and very much useful. You have already suggested Hiranandani glengate when compare to Shoba city in terms of ROI. Can you please be little more elaborative that what will be the % of returns we can expect in glengate by 2016/2017 and what are some main reasons for the same? thanks in advance. For own use also i believe glengate is better option, pls suggest.

    1. Hi Harish Muguda,

      Hiranandani Glen Gate is a premium development. Including Specs and Configuration. Quality is at par with Sobha. Equally good for Self use / Investment and Project returns by 2017 would be at least 40 % on Current Price.

  82. Hi Harish, I have a flat booked at adjacent property (vajram essenza). I don’t think you have posted any review about that property. Can you throw some light? Also is this property anywhere closer to the crematorium? Thanks in advance.

  84. Dear Harish,
    I invested in Mykonos, east facing 13th floor, block 3 for 97 Lacs in 2013 Jan. Recently I heard about the grave yard issue. Should I hold it ? I am planning to rent it/ sell it in due course. Do you think its a wise decision or get rid of it and invest in another property?
    Regards,
    Jay

  85. Hi Harish, thanks for posting such a good information of all projects. I am interested in to invest in north Bangalore area for buying an apartment while doing research I could find sobha city was the place to invest. Is it would be the right decision to do so?

    Please guide. Your reviews would be helpful for taking this grave challenge.

    1. Hi Ramana,

      In Case if you are looking for Self use. You Can Consider Sobha City Santorini. If its for Investment- I suggest you to look into Mantri Lithos

    2. Hi I have an apartment in sobha city casa serinita wing 4, North facing on 20th floor, If any buyers pls contact me at 9036637471, Manju

  86. I booked a flat in sobha city wing 3 Flat 3185 East facing (18th floor). Since I am not from Bengaluru i do not know whether my flat is facing the graveyard. can you please tell me whether it is facing the graveyard

  87. Hi Harish,

    Thanks for that feedback.
    Just wanted to know that buying apartment in Thanisandra road at this high price (92-93) lakhs for 3 BHK mykonos, can expect enough appreciation?
    I feel the price is already inflated. How much more do you see the appreciation by 2016-2017.

    2. Hi Harish,

      I feel techysharma’s fears are right. The price is already inflated and the amount you are quoting Rs.7000 – 7500/sft is already the price of this apartment. Please tell me one thing when i try to sell the apartment will I be able to add the similar charges as what the developer is adding like parking + deposits etc.?
      If I cannot add then here is my calculation why i feel this is inflated price. Super built up area of Mykonos is around 1597 sft, assuming 80% for carpet area it will be 1280 sft. Going with this 92lac/1280 comes up to Rs.7180/sft.

    3. Hi Raghu,

      You need to add the similar charges as what the developer is adding like parking + deposits etc.

  88. Thank you Harish for the facts you published. Sobha City is an amazing property and with Sobha quality this will come out fantastic. I booked one apartment in Casa Paradisso 3. It is a very good block. I met one sales person from Sobha and he explained everything about the project. I am very happy with their service. They have a separate CRM team to take care of after sale service…this is one of the professional approach from the company.

  89. Hi Harish,
    Thanks for the quick input. Just wanted to understand your logical reason behind for selecting Sobha city over webcity, as that will help in my decision. As i feel

    Webcity pros: New concept, demand might be more. Mantri brand/quality. Newly launched flats are opposite to Club house. Good carpet area.
    Cons: Feels like very much crowded, as >3k flats in 40 acres. Concerned about the appreciation. Lots of construction inside the property.

    Sobha city pros: Again very good configuration, good dose of amenities. Sobha brand/quality. right on thanisandra main road, closer to metro station.
    Sobha city cons: Mykonos(my interest) is bit far from large clubhouse, so feels bit secluded. Less carpet area. Some of the public roads (CBD + cart) roads coming inside property.

    Need your expert advice on sobha city is better compared to mantri. Really appreciate your thoughts Sir.

    1. Hi Techy Sharma,

      I opted for Shoba City mainly for 1 ) Location – key factor for better ROI 2) Brand & Quality 3 ) Mediterranean Concept 4) More open sapce

  90. Harish,

    I am getting offer of resale for Sobha city Mykonos 3 BHK for 92.5 lakhs inclusive of everything.
    Is it good offer? or new flat in 3 BHK in Mantri’s webcity on hennur, which is also coming around 88-89 lakhs. (inclusive of everything for 1445 sq feet ). Urgently need ur advice.

  91. Dear harishji,

    I want to buy a 3BHK flat available in 2nd floor in Sh city santorini middle block facing the spine from top its not a corner flat its east facing its offered close to 5600 PSFT charging 4Lacs as maint deposit whats your opinion on this the entire property its in a straight line thats the over all plot close to 2000 residents not a very big entrance gate do you think this will fetch me a better price at the time of possession in 2017 currently the prices are also high in bangalore but shoba is reliable they wont delay their project like other builders for years .

    1. Hi Prakash,

      As per current development at thanisandra and considering the current demand.Project will appreciate up to Rs. 6500 – 7000 / Sft. You can invest either in Sobha City / Bharthiya City.

  92. Hi Harish,

    I am hoping to have your advice on this decision.I bought serenita wing1 facing spine 1801 sqft @ 5450 Rs/Sqft. I have two choices now for shifting to avoid graveyard view:
    1. 2nd floor East facing Santorini, overlooking spine : 1697 sqft @ 5580 Rs/Sqft
    2. 17th floor East facing Santorini, overlooking spine : 1697 sqft @ 5990 Rs/Sqft
    Both are in the same wing and i would like to sell it off soon. Please advice which of these two choices is better from your point of view? Thanks ahead for your advice.

    Thanks
    Padma

    1. Hi Padma,

      I would have opted for 2nd floor East facing Santorini, overlooking spine : 1697 sqft @ 5580 Rs/Sqft. So that, I can enjoy central Spine view with out Floor Rise Charges.

    1. Hi I booked in August SOME GOOD GUY CANCELLED IT there is no worry of graveyard or whatever its in 1st floor facing the ULTIMATE i presume the best project in bangalore THE REAL APPRECIATION WILL KICK IN AT THE TIME OF POSSESSION BUT I WANT TO MAKE A LIVING THERE.
      THANKS FOR THE WISHES
      .

  95. Dear Harish i purchased 2 BHK big one in the 1st floor shoba city C sernita block 1 facing the spine looking at luxury living in a gated community closer to intl Airport i paid the prevailing price at 5300 PSQFT..

    Am looking at longer run will this get me a good appreciation .

    1. Hi Gaurav,

      Both are equally good projects. Mantri Lithos has location advantage which help you in fetching better returns in terms of Rent

  101. Hi Harish, I am considering sobha city Santorini block facing row houses which is spared form graveyard view. But now i am little confused between sobha city(Santorini) and sobha forest view. Can you please tell me which is better investment in terms of price appreciation, area, resale and rent perspective.

    1. Hi Su,

      Both are Equally good. ROI will be almost same in terms of price appreciation,resale and rent

    1. Hi Kumar,

      Looking into the current trend. Project Should be appreciate at least Rs.7000 / Sft by 2017.

  103. Hi Mr.Harish
    I am confused in deciding property I am looking for property in Off sarjapur road and Hennur/Thanisandra road
    I looked below apartments but it is hard to decide

    1. Purva skydale – off sarjapur road
    problem – approach road is narrow and the case for widening the road is happening from 2010. I dont know when that would come to an verdict.

    2. Sobha city – Hennur road (costlier than purva skydale)
    Problem – graveyard near by and lot of discussion going on that. I dont know whether anything would come up between sobha city and graveyard area.

    3. Prestige misty waters – Hennur road (Costlier than sobha city)
    Problem – Uncovered Drainage and priced more than others, which goes more than the budget.

    4. Brigade altamont – we didnt like location and approach road.

    All of these has one or other problem. Can you please suggest me which one to go for? or is there any other property which is good for investment and to live in future in this area.

    Thanks in advance!!!

    1. Hi Naresh,

      You might also want to look The Icon from GCORP which is adjacent to Manytha Tech park. I have recently booked a property there looking at all options you mentioned…

      Regards
      SJ

    2. Hi SJ
      Can you please share your email id? I have some questions to ask you about G corp Icon..since you have already booked the apartment it would be great to get my doubts cleared from you. My email id rajnaresh underscore kumar at yahoo.com Thanks NK

    3. Hi Naresh,

      Looking into your Requirement…I Feel, You should consider Purva Skydale ( Hope road work will be completed by 2016 ) or even you can consider Nikoo Homes.

    4. Hi Mr.Harish Thanks for giving your inputs. But I have one more question on Purva Skydale. I liked the property because of its location,brand,bigger apartment etc.. but the approach road is narrow and the markings for widening the road have been made on 2010 and the cae is going on. I have seen people talking about its been 3 yrs no sign of widening the road it is as it is.So I am really worried to take a risk on Govt and public issue..:( Bharatiya city Nikoo homes also have affected by graveyard problem I guess.How about G Corp Icon? they have only few projects completed. I dont know about the quality,new brand etc..and the price still 1 cr+. Or is there any other property that you can suggest in north blr and off sarjapur area?? Please advise. – Thanks NK

    5. Hi Naresh,

      I suggest you to go head with G Corp Icon. I have personally witnessed great quality of construction in their Sky garden Project.

    1. Hi Roa,

      Looking into the current and future development @ kanakapura Road…I Suggest you to go ahead with Sobha Forest View.

  105. Dear Mr.Harish, Need advise on buying an apt. Need is 3 BHK, no hurry to move in however would like to have rental friendly as well investment appreciation. Like morning sunlight and good ventilation. My daughters are in Kumarans hence looking at primary on Kanakapura road. May (??) stay in this apt in future as job is transaferrable / uncertain. However i want to have a good / rental friendly property in Bangalore. Options are 1)Ellita Premenode, Puttenhalli – resale 1.2 cr. Good sunlight and venti, surrouding. good rental but constu quality ok ok 2)Sobha forest view – Maple 1.1 cr. Jan 2015. Q good but location + do not know the potential for rental, as it may take another 5 yrs to develop the surrounding. 3) Chartered Bevertly – ready possesstion 90L, but low rental potential now, GOod Q but location inside. 4 ) Mantri serenity – bnlock 5 – 1.1 cr / No pre EMI scheme now. i like the location but waiting period is too long. or shall i look at apt in Bannerghatta road apts. than K pura road as it does not have offices / companies / employment potential ?.. Please advise to take a decision. ( Good for rental and appreciation, safe ). thank you very much. : MM

  109. Hi Harish , Thanks so much for your quick response and valuable advise as always . Also want to check what would be the rentals in 2017 for a 3 Bed room Flat in Sobha Ebony . How good will be projected resale market in Kanakpura Road and the rate I can expect if I wish to resell in 2017

  110. Hi Harish, Any guess on whats the rent we can expect for Casa paradiso unit in Phase 2, which i presume is not facing any graveyard also its expected to be complete by Mar 2017 and whats the property appreciation we can see then.

    thanks in advance for your response

    1. Hi Sreecharan,

      Expected rental return would be around 50,000 – 60,000 and expected appreciation would be Rs. 7000 / Sft by 2017

    2. Hi Harish,

      What rental/appreciation could we expect for GCORP The ICON project. Appreciate your view on this..

    3. Thanks so much Padma for the information . I am visting Sobha Forest view on Sun . Will also check this out and let you know .

  111. Hi Harish, I recently brought an apartment in Santorini Row house facing. I just saw photos and videos of graveyard there in facebook community. I was concerned about few things can you give your view on this?
    1) Resale value after possession
    2) If i plan to put it on rent will i be able to get good rent here??

  112. Hi Harish . I am now looking at Sobha Forest View . Just want to ensure that there are no Crematorium / Grave yard close near the property as in the case of sobha City and Eternia . Could you let me know on this aspect . I dont belong to Bangalore , but plan to visit the site . How do I find this out . Would be grateful if you could advise

    1. Dear Srinivasan,

      I far as i know, there are no Crematorium / Grave yard near to Sobha Forestview

    2. Srinivasan,

      I have visited both the places.
      – Eternia has a grave yard between Sobha and Prestige project and it is visible from the standard apartments
      – According to one of the sales guys of Sobha, Forest View has a grave yard as well. though i have not seen it and i have heard contradicting views on the same.

  118. Harish,

    I bought a graveyard facing (and spine facing) serenita unit in the last few months. Now, after coming to know about the problem, i have the following options:

    1. maintain status quo
    2. switch to a flat in santorini albeit for almost the same cost but 130 sqft less and with no graveyard view!
    3. switch to a flat in sobha elite. elite is 0.5 km from metro and is almost completed,
    4. switch to sobha forest view. forest view is 6 kms from the metro (and perhaps 2.5 kms in phase 2 though not sure), but corner flat availability is only on 20+ floor, and is not close to most of the IT industry.
    5. Exit the property paying some penalty

    Please provide your suggestion on which choice would be a wise decision.

    Thanks very much ahead for responding to this post.

    2. Hi Padma,

      I Feel, switching to a flat in santorini albeit for almost the same cost but 130 sqft less and with no graveyard view! would be a ideal decision.

    3. Hi Harish,

      Thanks very much for the reply. i have an additional option available. Would it make sense to shift to sobha eternia (1.5 kms into harlur road), sarjupur area, a lake facing apartment, as opposed to moving to Santorini for a higher premium? sobha eternia is also adjacent to a grave, but is smaller, and is not facing this apartment.

      Thanks for your response ahead of time.

    5. Hi Harish,

      It is very nice of you to respond quickly to the questions that i have posted and appreciate your efforts for the same.

      There is a small graveyard between sobha eternia and upcoming prestige property on harlur road. The apartment i am looking at is facing the harlur lake (which does not have bad smell), on the 12th floor, and does not have any view of the graveyard.

      I am told that harlur road is an upcoming posh locality, but of course there is a glut of apartments on this road, and the road is narrow as well. It is only 2 kms to ORR and hence if you could please describe why you think sobha city with the crematorioum/big sized burial grounds would be better than this project, it would be helpful since the apartment glut in the north is also huge and sobha city may get devalued due to the grave yards.

      I am thankful to you for your response.

      Thank you
      Padma

    6. Hi Padma,

      No Doubt Harlur Road is Developing in great pace… I Recommended Sobha City Santorini because your loss is only 130 Sq.ft. Property price at harlur road is already in peek. besides, North Bangalore has just started developing with better city plans. This will definitely fetch you better returns in long run. Apart from Crematory view. Sobha city doesn’t have any drawbacks… The unique concept of Mediterranean Style township will obviously have its competitive advantage compare to other surrounding projects and next to sobha city, bharthiya city is also doing tremendous development. In next 5 yrs you will witness mind blowing development for sure.

    7. Dear Harsha , Need your urgent advise . I hav a 3 bhk Flat in Mykonos Internal Road facing corner flat on 6th Floor . I am concerned for 2 reasons . ( 1) the CPD Road which cuts through the Prperty opens in to the graveyard which means that there is a chance that we may have funeral processions passing through inside the town ship ( 2) The burial ground can be seen from the club house . All this makes me uncomfortable and I will find it difficult to stay there . I am also not sure if this will impact the resale prices . I have an option to move to Sobha Forest view . What is the investment postential for this property;say expected appreciation after 3 years . Will I have a challenge in re selling it , in case I wish not to stay there . Your advise will be great help

    8. Hi Srinivasan,

      I doubt funeral processions will pass inside the town ship and secondly you need to really think on ” How much time you spend on Club House and Look into Burial Ground when you are inside the club house” and we are not sure about the view of burial ground from inside the club house. Besides, Resale price will not effect much until unless you have apartment with cemetery view. If you are still uncomfortable, You can switch to Sobha Forest view. ( Appreciation Trend is almost Same )

    9. Many thanks Harish for your valuable and quick respponse ; appreciate it so much !
      Also I also want your input on Tumkur Road Property of Sobha . Which one is better ; Sobha forest view or the Tumkur Road Property from an appreciation perspective . S sorry to bother you again

    10. No Issues Srinivasan… According to Growing & Demand Trend at kanakapura road…Sobha Forest View should fetch you better return…

  119. Hi Harish,

    I have an apartment facing the crematorium/graveyard (Casa Paradiso). Do you think I should cut my losses and exit the project ? I am interested in knowing more about people who consider living next to graveyard/crematorium as lucky. Maybe I can sell it to them.

    1. Hi SB,

      Selling Graveyard facing unit is not an easy task…moreover its open fact to interested buyers…i advise you and all the unit holders to wait till project completion and parallely approach Sobha Developers to cover up the view by planting trees. In Case, if sobha developers doesnt do anything. As a owner, take help from owners association and cover up the view.

  120. Hi Harish,

    I have a mykonos unit facing central spine in Sobha City.
    Taking issue of graveyard + crematorium adjacent to Sobha city, what do you suggest:
    Should i stay invested in Sobha city or sell it off and exit from the project asap?

    Regards,
    Sahil

    1. Hi Sahail,

      I dont advice you to exit from the project .Instead, lets wait… Besides, you need not to worry as your unit is facing central spine.

  121. Hi Harish,

    Kindly advise me on the prelaunch offer for Nitesh Hunter Valley . Has the booking started already. if there are any group booking. Kindly let me know. I am Interested. Thanks & Regards – Srini

    1. Hi Srini,

      Bookings have not yet started for Nitesh Hunter Valley. Will update you as soon as builder opens it for Retail

  122. Hi Harsha,

    I am surprised by your observation that the value of a project doesn’t suffer because of factors like graveyard or crematorium adjacent to it. Can you please elaborate on it? Having examples of some existing projects will be really beneficial where prices were not impacted despite such adverse factors vis-a-vis some other projects in the same area where these factors were absent.

    Thanks
    H.

    1. Dear Mr H

      The key fixed prime quantifiable parameters in assessing the appreciation of any property is by the accessibility and the connectivity which are directly proportional to the infrastructure development to that particular region which in turn boost the investments followed by businesses and the communities (Residential) leading to appreciation of the prices, the variables and non quantifiable parameters such as grvyrd and other things are largely subjected to individual perspective which are hard to quantify in assessing the property value in a particular region, to the matter of fact the prime regions like wilson garden and harish chanrdaghat near navarang, Rajainagar all have major grvyrds, the property prices aren’t affected there.

      When it comes to real estate its not only the location which is the deciding factor in assessment of the appreciation, there are multiple and various factors like Project construction quality, pace of development, Project maintenance and management, many other valid parameters, everything holds a weightege , just cannot be written off based on a non quantifiable parameter.

      Regards,

      Prashanth

    1. Hi Amol,

      Both are Good Project. But Sobha City is better project because of its concept and project configuration

    1. Hi Rajesh,

      Current Rate per Sft is 4900 to 5500. By the time of possession, I am looking at 50 % appreciation on current price.

    1. Hi Rith

      can you pls send me full details. with payment plan and how much payment done and possession time.

      thanks

      Rajesh

  128. Dear Harish . I have booked a Flat in Mykonos in Sobha City . Just want to check if the resale value of the Flat will get affected beacuse of the Burial and Crematorium ground next to the property . However it is quite far from my building . Also want to check , given the upcomming developments in the area what would be the expected appreciation in rates in the next 3 years once the project is fully operational

    1. Hi Srinivasan,

      Crematorium ground will not effect much to resale market. you can expect 30 – 35 % appreciation on current price by 2016

  129. Hi Harish,

    I am confused as which is better project; Sobha city, The Icon or Bhartiya city. Looking at the cemetary issue, I am hesitant to go for sobha city. Could you give me your review on GCORP’s The ICON project?

    Regards

  130. Hi I have a 21 st floor 1930 sq ft E1 type east facing appartment in casa serinita… .. I am an invested and seek guidance to hold till possession or sell.. What could be the per sq ft rate expected in 2 years from now.. Pls advise…

  132. My friend want to sell a flat 1569 sq.ft 3BHK flat @ MYKONS, but he is confused as what price it will fetch when he sell now or would it be beneficial to sell later- the base price be bought the apartment is INR 4700 – Can you please suggest your views.

  133. There are over 2k+ appts here in this project. The facility they have is less I feel to accommodate everyones needs.

    Now say swimming pools. There has to be at least 4 pools of the kind. A Gym should be able to accommodate 100 people at a given time , with at least 25-30 joggers and alike equipment.

    The problem is that people are building huge projects w/o realising the needs to use these facilities adequately.

    Has anyone take a look at these amenities before booking here? What is your take harish?

    1. They have 3 outdoor swimming pools + one indoor pool. They would be having one of biggest club house in Bangalore of around 60000 sq. ft. I think it would be fine to accommodate all the residents.

      Also, if you see all the huge projects like Prestige Shantiniketan , Elita etc, they also don’t have all those feature which Sobha City would have and they all have more residents than Sobha City would have.

      Regards

  134. Hi Harish, A very informative site indeed. Thanks.
    I was hearing about the cemetery beside the property and talk about the smoke, etc. I was looking for Paradiso ( the new one at the fag end of the layout ) but wanted to hear if it really is an issue for people who are purchasing the property? Unable to get any real insight in to the same. Any guidance?

    1. Hi SVR,

      You are right, there is a cemetery on the back side of the Paradiso Block and and even smoke appears too… Some people dont mind it because they feel its Auspicious for them…and some have even swapped the unit for better view… Besides, Sobha is also Planning to plant trees in the Cemetery.

    2. Hi SVR, The cemetery is behind the 1st phase of Paradiso and not near new block. As rightly said by Mr.Harish, Sobha is planning to plant trees near it.

  135. I have bought an appt in Sobha City Mykonos. Not yet decided if I would move into it after handover (2015-16). As per your research, what would be the % appreciation by 2016. Since Manyata tech park is close by , what would be the approximte rentals for a 3 BHK ?
    Is it true that the banking industry has purchased a large parcel of land nearby to set up an integrated backoffice space?

    1. Hi Verman, Yes it is true that there is a plan to have a banking backoffice operations to be set up near Baglur (Approx 1220 Cr project) projected. Appreciation will be around 20% once you have your possession.

  136. I am getting a resale deal in sobha city casa serenity with 1.18 for 1945 sqft flat in middle floor.

    Let me know if it is a gud investment and will get any return by jan 2016. what price i can expect by jan 2016?

    1. Nitin,

      In case if you are not planning to buy resale apartment . Can you let me know the details of it? I wanted to book in sobha city casa serenity but all good apartments seems to be sold out now.

    2. I have a 2BHK flat in Casa Serenita Wing 2 on first floor facing the tree lined avenue. Let me know if you are interested in buying.

      Regds,
      Salina Nair

    3. Salina, would you be able to provide more details about your property viz. size, expected price, etc…

  137. Hey Harish! Great insight provided here! Thanks so much! Although, I am very much interested in Sobha City – Casa Serenita, the prices soaring so high as I believe I am late to know/ try to buy one. Can you please let me know any other project just initiated similar to Sobha (amenities and culture) in Bangalore City so I can have a better idea to go all in? Thank you very much and wish you best!

    1. Hi Pradeep,

      Thanks for your feedback…

      I would suggest you to wait till Nitesh Hunter Valley pre – launch ( Should get launch in couple of months ) or you can even consider Bharitya City – Nikoo Homes and Last option is to try your luck in Sobha City Resale

  138. hi harish, iam interested in thanisandra area
    bit confused whether to book nikoo homes or sobha city because sobha has good reputation but bharatiy city is the new developer can you respnd which one i consider

    1. Hi Shankar,

      Both are Very Good Projects, You can consider either of the one…

      Even Though Bharitiya City is new Developer… Companies Management Team is very much experienced
