I’m a owner at Alembic Urban Forest – and this is an honest review as of October 2020. Do not fall prey to the marketing/ paid reviews.
Extremely bad builder. There are a lot of problems with the projects, and the builder is not willing to resolve them.
1) The STP is the biggest problem. It does not works, if it works, the water is stinky, smelly and black in colour. It’s almost like the sewer water is coming without any treatment.
2) The driveways, basements and other locations get filled with water after every rains. The pipes for plumbing are smaller than what it should be, and the water is not drained properly.
3) The construction quality is very bad, already, boundary walls have started falling, and multiple boundary walls have cracks in them, can fall anytime.
4) A lot of flats have reported a lot of seepage issues from different floors and blocks. Seepages are a common sight inside the flats.
All these issues can come up with any builder, the difference is whether a 100 year old company is willing to own up these issues and fix it.
Alembic is just trying to run away by giving a bad product to the customers.
I own an apartment in this Complex … and staying since it was operational..2 plus years now – Builder has lots of unfulfilled promises which they made to buyers .. They couldn’t even install a proper STP – the water in flush stinks and in black color … we are awaiting a pandemic to happen soon !!
My advice – don’t buy from Alembic – any of their projects
Whitefield is a very industrial place, but Urban forest offers such a calm and lush green cover. It doesn’t help just the residents but the trees help everyone in the area!
A beautifully designed society along with modern amenities like amphitheatre, swimming pool, lawn tennis court, area for spa and more. Well recommended
Urban forest is offeing luxrious flats with the facility of rain water harvesting and water treatment plants. Also having the other amenties which fullfills the requirements of your family. It is a nice place to stay.
It is a good place to live in if you are working near Whitefield & ITPL. It helps work life balance .
I have been looking for properties in Bangalore and have visited Alembic Urban Forest. It is a well-constructed project with all possible amenities which makes it more attractive.
A home so close to Whitefield was always my dream, and I believe I conquered my dream when I booked my home at Alembic Urban Forest. It is a place better than my dreams and still under my budget. I would say, the most luxurious project around Whitefield in this budget.
Alembic Urban Forest- Awesome buildings and area, One of the best planned apartment complex on Bangalore with lot of space, well ventilated flats, huge wide internal roads, excellent landscaping.
The property is very good situated far away from the maddening crowd of Bangalore and it’s hustle and bustle. A place to relax after a hectic day out.
There is a good swimming pool and gym and more than enough area for an evening walk
Hi Harish, any suggestions among SNN Raj Eterniia, Goyal orchid Whitefield, habitat eden heights and Alembic urban forest..
1. Which is likely to appreciate more in future?
2. Which is a better pick for end use, livability?
3. Easer to put on rent / sale in near future?
Please help.
Thanks.
Hi Modhurima,
SNN Raj etternia can be considered since it acts as epicenter between Electronic city, Whitfield area, sarjapur and ORR areas. Second otpion would be alembic urban forest.
Alembic sales team seems to be in a fix how to clear out their big pending stock which is currently priced at very premium rates ( i feel the builder has priced too high if u consider that they are a new entrant in bangalore with 0 track record in the city for predicting quality ) .The latest scheme adopted by the frustrated sales guys seems to be to make false offers on phone just to make people come to their office.
After i had visited the site, Mr. Mohan called me for continuously for 3 weeks that i should come to their office for negotiation . (note – i clearly told him that my budget was around 8 lakhs less than their quote and i could not increase it much. He said they will give me “very good” discount and try to match my expectations if i come with cheque book). When i went to their office however, Mr. Mohan and his senior Sujata acted very strange. They again started praising their property and quoted the same price without any discount. When i expressed irritation, they even accepted they deliberately misled me into coming there in the hope that i would buy, but were totolly non apologetic and again requested me to consider buying at the high price only !
I am surprised; if they have huge stock as claimed by you then they would have offered you a discount you have asked.
the people in sales team don’t decide prices.
their job is to somehow sell at the prices that management decides. and if sales people are calling for several weeks and even resorting to cheap tricks for selling ( they even admitted to lying about the price to me !) then anybody can guess that their business is not going that good.
Who are the architects and construction partners?
Hi Rajesh,
GDCL (Gannon Dunkerley & Company) are the Contractors and MQA (Mandviwala Qutub & Associates) are the architects for this project
Do, Owners have any Facebook group for internal discussion ?
I am considering an investment in Alembic Urban forest, Whitefield. My question is.. Is it a good option for investment? How can I do a proper verification?
My relative recently bought 3 BHK in Urban Forest and I feel its best quality property in Whitefield bangalore a. Its surrounded by lush greenery. The ammenities and a luxurious flat seems good and worth the pay. I am planning to invest on it soon.
I visited the site last week, floor plan is amazing. What do you thing the property price will be appreciated in near future?
I feel this is good project for investment, as I heard they are tied with Afforestation to develop forest in the project, where we will get such kind of greenery in and around Whitefield
I want to know about amenities & floor plans as well as the ammenities on Urban Froest by Alembic Real estate and where can i find more details on this project.
i am interested in this project but issue is in ground water supply , 2 borewell is enough for 636 apartment ??? and kaveri water is coming on alternte days or may be 2-3 times week in that area
Hi Harish, I have purchased a 2BHK unit in Urban Forest in Mar-2017. Just last week, got an email from the builder that post 1st JUL2017, GST will be levied on the remaining payment. Our Sales Agreement was done in Mar-2017. Can you please advise if you have some visibility on this ?
Thanks,
Hi Parag,
As far as we know the GST will be considered on prorata basis, say for example if you have made 20% payment then the old ST and VAT rates are applicable, post GST implementation, 12% shall be considered on remaining payments
Further need to wait on the implementation on the same to get exact clarity in this regard
Hi … Can you please share the final cost of your 2bhk?
Hi Harish, What is the current price per sq feet?
Hi Satiz,
For 2 & 3 BHK the base price is Rs. 5090 psft and for 3.5 BHK is Rs. 5390 psft
Hi Harish,
We are planning to buy a 3 BHK in Whitefield, Kadugodi area & we are considering – Urban Forest, Assetz MarQ, Sumadhura Shikram (Ready 2 Move) and Prestige Tranquility (Ready 2 Move). Apart from Urban Forest all other three are almost quoting the same rates in terms of per sq ft rate. Urban forest’s quote is approx 250/Per Sq. ft more. Can you please suggest which one is worth to take.
Hi Manu,
The mentioned projects are good and has its own USP’s and mainly the location place an important parameter.
We suggest you to opt the one which is convenient to your work place, schools and other convenient features to you. Also the selection of unit matters.
Hello,
I am planning to buy a 3BHK flat in urban forest.
I liked the plans and the project layout but my only concern was that the sales executive mentioned the floor to ceiling height is 9ft. As per guidelines this as per norms but isnt 9ft slightly low ?
I have heard other builders who have ceiling height as 10ft.
Looking for advice and opinion
Hi Shanky,
Usual clear floor to ceiling height provided by the builder is 3 mts. once the flooring (tiling) & Plastering work is done the height gets reduced. hence the difference.
Hi Harish, please suggest between ROW AND URBAN FOREST in terms of location, brand, future resale ability , rental and liveability?
Hi Megha,
As per our views, ROW would score more in terms of location, Brand or rental, whereas Urban Forest scores in liveability factor.
Consider ROW If you are getting the unit as per your preference, if not you can go with Urban Forest
i found urban forest is very attractive project. I cureently live in nagpur and shifting to bangalore in 2 months. want to have a list of properties to can visit. i want to finalize it soon. please help! Apprecitae it.

hello, My name is Supriya. I have sent mail with all required details to this group a week back but have not heard anything from them yet. Please let me know if any problem.
Hi, this is Swati here. we have seen some 30-40 projects. we are looking for a 2 BHK for own use. Confused between Urban Forest , Nitesh Cape Cod and Kolte Patil Mirabalis. Can anyone help me choose pls..??
Hi Swati, As a owner of 2BHK flat in Urban forest, I can tell you that it is the right coice to invest. The project will be built with ample amount of greenary and modern amenities like gym, play area, swimming pool, club house, walking tracks and much more. The area has good number of schools,hospitals, restaurants and much more nearby. I’m aware of Nitesh cape cod & mirabalis projects as well but still feel that Urban Forest will be the perfect investment.
well said Deep… It is now a matter of great concern. These tricks are the builder’s speciality……to trap the customers and be at their mercy..
Hi Rahul, I don’t find any tricks from Alembic here, they have been transparent when it comes to providing information and other formalities. Its quiet clear in the agreement and at least I’m happy with my booking in the project.
Hi Harish,
I would like to share a information and seek you advice on Alchemy Urban Forest project, Bangalore.
I feel like cheated here, as initially on their website, on your portal, on ads and other property portal they have said
Total Land Area:11.23 acres
Total floors:19 Floors
Total Towers: 4 Towers
Total Units: 636 Units.
But now if you go to their website (http://www.alembicrealestate.com/urban-forest-apartments-whitefield-bangalore/) they have changed the area of land to 8.23 acres keeping other details same. It’s complete wrong.
How could they do this? I booked a flat here in 2015 and now they have started showing their real colors.
Now, they are saying that, they are starting phase 2 and adding 300 plus more flats who will be using same amenities as they are not including any amenities for 300 + house of phase 2.
With your forum i seek your help and advice on this and would like to warn prospective customer that please check all this before taking a final call. This is a serious matter as non of us would like to be in a queues to use any amenities.
Thank You
Deep
Hi Deep, We have booked a unit in 2015 during the launch. They have clearly informed us that the total extend of land is 11.23 acres which will be developed in two phases. Phase 1 they have started in 8.23 Acres with 6363 units including amenities. The same has been mentioned in the agreement too. Also, They have plans to add out door amenities in phase 2.
I wonder if you are part of the Urban Forest family as the agreement has this information clearly mentioned. Kindly stop spreading false information.
Hello Deep,
We representing Urban Forest Owners Group (125+ verified owners) do not agree with the concerns you have raised and fully condemn your views. Some of us are first owners of the apt and at any given point right from day one, Alembic were fully transparent on the overall project scope including the land parcel and phase 2 development, which is also mentioned in the agreement.
Further Phase 2 development is still not finalized yet. However, Alembic group has committed to consider groups suggestion on the additional amenities that can be build in phase 2, as & when the planning for the same kicks off.
May be your interpretation is wrong . We suggest you to get clarity with the builder and correct your views.
You can also write to urbanforest.ownersgroup@gmail.com, for any further clarification.

I’m a regular commuter to whitefield location. Have seen this project Urban Forest by Alembic Real estate, but never got time to really check out the project. Heard that it is the first project by the developer in Bangalore. How is it? Is it worth investing?? Open to discuss!!
Hi Deepu, Although this is the first project by Alembic in Bangalore, they have picked it up pretty well. It is a project worth investing. Being developed in 3 acres of green space, I’m sure it would be best place to relax in after a long day of work. Proximity to metro station, IT companies and various amenities like swimming pools, gym, and good amount of parking space etc. make it a good development project.
@Harish – Am i missing the boat by investing in this project at this stage (finishing)? i believe Nikoo 2 is a better buy hoping that North Bbgl is set for a better development. Suggestions?
Hi Aaron,
Both are equally good in terms of investment. Urban Forest holds advantage in terms of location. Nikoo in terms of concept.
Hi Aaron, Each project has its own uniqueness. Urban forest is also unique in terms of its specifications and approach towards the project. Personally, I feel Urban Forest would be the right choice for investing. It’s built up area is 1314 sq ft. for 2BK and 1890 sqft. for 3BHK and 2628 sqft for 4 BHK . Major IT companies are placed nearby the project & the proposed metro station is also closer. Urban Forest is a better investment option as its close to IT hub and it continues to be a dominant growth driver for Bangalore
Anyone have any information on the second phase of this project? I believe they have a big piece of land infront of first phase where they are planning the next phase
Hi Kumar, We are planning for Phase 2 of Urban Forest in the land in front of the current project, the timeline for which has not been set, as yet.
I’ve been monitoring this project constantly as I’ve made an investment here. I’m keeping tabs on the construction, its good to see that so far its going at a proper steady rate.
Hi Abhay, Are they providing the same flooring that they have showcased in the display model (Grey coloured tiles)
Property prices in Bangalore specially Whitefield area are increasing at a steady rate.
I have heard the rates have been increased to 4890 rs per sq feet
Hi Alok, Yes rates have increased, current price is Rs 4890/sft onwards for 2 BHK & 3 BHK and Rs 5190 for 3.5 BHK
Hi Alok, Yes rates have increased, current price is Rs 4890/sft onwards for 2 BHK & 3 BHK and Rs 5190 for 3.5 BHK
very good project for a long term investment. Have recommended to my friends too..
Hi Harish, could you please suggest which project would you recommend between Urban Forest, Trifecta Starlight and Brigade Lake Front and what are the main parameters for consideration?
Hey Sanjiv, My friend has purchased a 3BHK in Urban Forest. Its a gated community project which is developed in 3 acres of green area and its location is in Whitefield which is nearby to ITPL. Also, the proposed metro station is close by too. All nice ameneties like club houses, gym, nice park, swimming pools etc. Are included in the project.
Hi Sanjiv,
First Preference would be for Brigade Lake front Second Preference would be urban forest & Last would be Trifecta( parameters considered are, Project Configuration, Brand , Quality of construction, ROI & Location )
Hi Harish what are the current rates
Hi Alok, Current price for 2BHK is Rs 4790 per sq ft and for 3BHK its 5090 per sqft.
Hi Alok,
Current price is Rs.4790 to 5090 / Sq.ft.
What are thee current rates for this project?
Hi Rahul,
For 2 & 3 BHK – Basic Price is Rs. 4790 psft & For 3 BHK + Ser Rs. 5090 psft
I was looking into this project from an end user perspective. My three primary concerns are: 1. Ground water level in this area 2. Size of the central courtyard area, it looks small as it is surrounded by four tall towers and 3. I heard that there will be a second phase in this project, this might make the overall project very congested specially if the club house and other amenities are shared.
Apart from these the overall project looks good!
From an end user perspective this is one of the best project in Whitefield. It’s in the close proximity to ITPL. Yes there are some concerns regarding the ground water level across Bangalore. But ground water level is better here than the surrounding areas. They do have the bore well in the project. Central courtyard is quite spacious its more than half acre of land and project do have 3 acres of green area.
Hey guys, looks like this project Urban Forest is a very big one in whitefield. Are their bookings closed? Has anybody invested in any of the 2BHK & 3BHK flats? Can someone suggest me if this is a right choice for long term investment & decent rents in future? Any response from the property owners is appreciable!!!
Hi Shrikar,Urban Forest is a gated community project being developed by Alchemy Real estate, a Alembic group company. Looking at the construction history of Alchemy and location of this project, I feel it is a perfect choice for long term Investment. Whitefield is IT hub and investing in such area would fetch good rents.
Hi Murari.. I just booked a 3 bhk flat here after exploring all the availabilities in the same price range and standards. Though not for investment, I bought it for stay. You would have already read the plans at this location.. An underpass, metro station will be 1km.. No slums nearby..Upcoming PRR ..these things will definitely take time..but I believe its will yield a good returns!!
Hi Ravi, can you please tell me what is their current price. i am also planning to buy there.
Hello Ravi,
I am looking to buy a 3BHK here, and I need some information.
If you dont mind, can you please message me your no. or email id on
(9741844884) and I will contact you.
I’m planning to invest in this project. Do you guys think if its a good choice for a long-term investment? Any informaton regarding the project is appreciable!
Hi Murari, Urban forest is a large project developed by Alchemy, part of Alembic group. It is definitely a good choice for long term investment as it would fetch good returns. The main reason being it is rightly placed at the central location whitefield which is closer to all IT tech parks specially ITPL, good hospitals, educational institutions and also the proposed metro station is nearby. Also, the project is built amongst 3 acres of green area.
Hi Murari,
Yes, You can consider this project for long term investments.
Thanks Jyoshitha.
Now, I am actually confused between Urban forest and Sumadhura Silver Ripples. If I go with Urban forest, it will be another 2.5 years of rent (including the buffer period). With Sumadhura Silver Ripples, I may get the possession by Sept 2016.
Any reviews about the later one?
Looks like my comment got deleted. Never mind, will post it again :)
There has been news about KIADB encroaching of forest land in Kadugodi and this still stands as a dispute on 700 acre land. Does this project location also falls under the forest area OR has the project got clearance from forest department.
Also the project has been in 4th slab for some time. Has there been any delay?
I think the forest land that you are referring is opposite to GR Tech Park. I visited the project site last week, they have already reached to 7th floor. Construction pace is quite satisfactory.
Hi Ravi,
This project doesn’t fall under Forest zone.
Hi Harish.. I am quite interested in this project. But my concern is the location. This looks like or perhaps suppose to be a “Forest” area. There has been news about KIADB encroaching forest areas in and around Kadugodi which is still an ongoing dispute. Does this project have all approvals including from the Forest Department ??
Hi Ravi,
Don’t worry, Its a private property and Project has all the approvals and construction is on full swing.
Can some one inform me what is the real booking price? Why is the pace of construction so slow? Already one year of project start is over. Most agents seem to be discouraging investing in the project despite the promoters being so cash rich. It is said that completion may go beyond Dec 2018
Construction is going on as per schedule, we will definitely complete the project by Dec 20 17. Please do not believe market rumours. If you have any doubt/ query, please visit our marketing office we will definitely clear your doubts on any of the matter.
I have been to Prestige and UF. But honestly liked the specifications of UF better. But i’m not sure if its worth the price. Can anybody give me more info about this?
I have researched about Urban Forest but I would like to hear some feedback from people who have invested in their properties. Please let me know if you have invested in the property already.
I visited this property and liked it a lot. Specifications are good for the quoted price and after speaking to the Alchemy representative, I had my doubts cleared and I invested in it.

Akg, pls pass the contact I am interested in booking in this project. Thanks
Hi Sri, are you sur eit is 4200 p sq ft, 2 months back I was bargaining with them they were nto ready to go below 4590 base price. I fteh price has come down, please let me know.
They are continuously calling us to book@4200 however i have decided not to book in this project as they come in just average builder category but charging too high.
Hi Akg,
Request you, not to miss guide the home buyers as sentiments are involved.
I’m told that the prices are being increased to Rs. 4790 psft very shortly, I doubt if they would really sell at Rs. 4200 now…
Alchemy is the name associated with Alembic Pharma having a history of 108 years. We already have 4 projects under our umbrella (3 in Vadodara and 1 in Bangalore). The Sq.ft. rate of Rs.4200 is incorrect as our base price starts at Rs 4690 onwards.
I live in jaynagar right now and wanting to buy an apartment in whitefield so i can shift there with family. can anyone please share info on this project?
My uncle has booked apartment at urban few days ago. Spacious and decent amenities. Would suggest you to visit it once also check delivery timeliness
finalised 2BHK at 4200 per sq.ft last week on a lower floor
Can you share the contact number of the person thru whom you have booked at 4200.
Hi Sri. In all our communications we have been clear that our base price starts from Rs.4690 onwards. Even during our pre-launch phase, the price was Rs 4390 onwards. You may have mistaken our project with some other project in the same locality.
Hi Sri,
Request you, not to miss guide the home buyers as sentiments are involved.
Hi Harish,What, in your opinion is the valuation of Urban Forest per sq. ft in 2015, 2016, 2017. ie, what is the %YoY growth you see with this project?
On an average property prices increase by 8 to 10 percent. At the time of launch, the sq ft rate was Rs 4390 now it is selling at 4690 onwards.
Hi Priya
You can expect an average of 10% YoY growth
Hi Harish,
In response to your comment that “UDS will be allotted only on constructed area ( Building foot prints only ) but not on complete project”, who owns the remaining land?
Hi Ravi
The remaining land will be in name of the Association formed for that particular project.
Hi Harish, I liked the property but one thing which is bothering me is the balcony space. As per the person who showed us the property told that there is no space to sit in the balcony …just space is there to stand which was very strange. Any comments?
Hi Sachin, we have actually 3 balconies irrespective of 2 or 3 BHK. Main Balcony/deck is the Spacious one whereas having two Standing balconies is one of the delights given to the residents for enjoying more open space and ventilation
Hi Sachin
The living room balcony is spacious to place a chair or sit, while, Bedroom balcony is considerably small in terms of width.
Hello Harish,
I am looking for end use, do you think this project is good for that. And if I want to exit in 3 years, will it be easy to do that? Now a days I see many resales which are posted in commonfloor unsold for 6 months. Will it be easy to exit later in UF? returns is not important to me.
One of the reason that I purchased the flat is that layout of the home is made for people to stay comfortably. If I want to sell the flat later I would definitaly get good return as whitefield is a good location to have a house
Hi Shankar,
Yes, Alchemy Urban Forest is good for self use. 30 % of Resale stock will be floating the market. which is common trend in real estate. Alchemy holds advantage in terms of location. So selling at later stage will not be difficult.
HI Harish
I have heard they are providing very less UDS 20% only. Is it standard for all builders? As it is having 80 percent open space, I feel UDS allotment should be more.
Please clarify.
Thanks
Arunava
Hi Arunava,
UDS will be allotted only on constructed area ( Building foot prints only ) but not on complete project.
Arunava, my research on properties says that there is no standard UDS %…normaly builders in bangalore give around 15% uds. So i think Urban forest has decent UDS percent.
Stay away from Urban forest. I invested in this project before prelaunch @4390 and pull out my money before signing agreement to sale, when they were selling at @4590. I was impressed with location, price and layout.
Agreement to sale is complete mess and you don’t know what is the size of property 8.23, 11.23 or 14.23 acers. They initially launched 8.23 with 82.3 acres but have plan to build more apartments in different phases which will be sharing same club house..
Agreement to sale has many conflict terms that you will be wonder what you are signing and what you will get?
What will happend, if they add another 600-800 apartment in remaining land ( 6 Acres
Hi Harish,
We are planning to buy a 3 BHK and visited Urban Forest as well as Prestige Lakeside Habitat. Locationwise Urban Forest looks better. But as it is their maiden project in Bangalore, we are skeptical if the builder will be able to complete the project on time with all needed approvals etc…As it is a big investment, we would like to know the track record of the builder and proceed accordingly. Thanks in advance.
Hi Poornima,
All the approvals are in place. Need not to worry. Besides, Alchamy is a cash rich company.
Hi Harish, I have read through a lot of reviews and have found them very helpful in understanding the pros and cons of the projects. I am currently looking for a 3bhk for our own purpose.. v saw so many properties,, v liked both Mirabilis which is in Horamavu and Urben forest, white field..and i have a school gng son.. i need a gud school nearby and gud coaching centers too. so which project do u suggest ? and appriciation vise which is best and how abt the public transport?
Hi Priya,
Horamavu is the next residential hub. besides you will find lots of good school near Banaswadi, HRBR layout & Hebbal. besides Horamavu acts centre for all the place. I suggest you to consider Kolte Patil Mirabilis.
Thanks Harish , I am struck between Assetz Marq and Alchemy , from an end use point of view and in terms of livability which will be better
Hi Spandan,
Assetz Marq is a mixed development. Usually Mixed development projects holds upper hand in terms of liveability aspect. Both the project are equally good for end use. I advise you consider based on your floor plan liking.
Hi Harish,
First of all, thanks for a detailed unbiased analysis on property , I am sure lot of people are getting benefited from this forum. I went to the builder today , now the price stands at 4890 for some apartment and 4790 for few others . Can you please let me know if it is worth buying apartment here paying this price .
Hi Spandan
Alchemy is quoting at a very competitive price compared to surrounding projects, so you can consider the same.
Hi Harish, Can you please tell me which is the best for ROI and investment/rental among these? five summits, divyasree row and urban forest?
Hi Harish,
Do you have any information about Gitanjali honey pool? Builder review?
Hi Rekha
Sorry, We have not reviewed the project so wont be able to comment on the same.
HI Rekha,
I am also looking out for Gitanjali honey pool.
Please let me know, if you have any info.
My Phone Number: 9611350174
Thanks
Hi Rekha and Rakesh
Were you able to get any reviews about this project?
Plan and location looks good. Any review on the projects completed by same builder in Gujarat!?
Hi Harish, Do you run any group booking discount scheme for this project or know of anyone who does?
Hi Vini,
Currently there are no offers running for urban forest
Hi.. I’m planning to buy a 2bhk in this project. Can we get any discount on current price?
Also are there any other good category A builders with projects in similar price range? (70-80L)
Hi Vishal,
You can consider Divyasree ROW
Hi.. I’m looking for a 2bhk here.. Have u considered any other options?
They are currently running an offer on Tower C and D of 4490 per sq ft. Other 2 towers are 4590. I am curious to understand if this is because of the flats in the discounted towers not being vastu complaint? Any ideas please.
Secondly, can you please advise about the water situation in that area/project? I am not fully aware.
Lastly, is there a way to get a discount from them? I have tried 2-3 times now but they don’t seem to reduce anything from their sq. ft price.
Are there people on this forum who are looking to buy? May be we can go together and bargain a group discount.
Hi Harish,
Whats your opinion about this project? I visited the site last week, floo plan is amazing. What do you thing the property price will be appreciated in near future?
Hi Archana,
Property holds advantage in terms of location, you can expect 12-13% growth rate YOY basis
Hello,
The company is Rich.
The lady sitting as Customer Relationship Manager,is wonderful.
They are saying ,they are competing with Shobha Habitat,makes sense.
We are group of 5 people still roaming in Whitefield area yet to make a decision on which flat to purchase.
We will wait ,till the time they provide some more clarity of few Items.
Anil Rai
Hi Anil
can you please provide with your contact number? Need to discuss with you on this project from a third party perspective
Recently, I heard a lady wanted to pull out of the group,because of the cheating these people are doing.They are refusing to refund the amount.so be very care full.
sometimes they say 8.23,otherwise they say 11.23, some other time they say 14.23.
if you go and ask them they will say, ” even we are not clear ” haaahaaaaaaaaa, ” we don’t have any plans as such”
what is what,they are not even clear.
Hello,
These people are little crooks.
Medicine for this,go a group of 5 to 6 guys ,and crack down on them.
Ask them everything u want to clarify.
Thanks.
Hi Harish,
We are looking for 2/3 bhk depending which fits in our budget.Till now we have liked ROW, Assetz Marq and Urban Forest. Definitely ROW and Urban forest has advantage of location as near to ITPL. Republic of whitefeld has increased their price way to far. Urban Forest looks good but litle concerned as this is the first project and we do not get to know the exact quality. Even if we overlook Assetz location little far from ITPL , they are delivering Neighbourhood 1 next year december , and other 3 phases would take much longer may 4-5 yrs down the line. This is little concerning. Could you please suggest over Assetz and Urban Forest.
Thanks!
Hi Mayuri,
Alchemy Urban Forest would be the good bet to opt for; reason being though it is the first project in bangalore the response from other buyers is good and its competitive pricing is added advantage and is backed by Alembic Pharmaceuticals which is century old company.
Today I did visit the project site and marketing office. I learned from them, the project consists of 8+ acres only and not 11+ acres. Phase II will be there on the 3 acres which the builder referring it as forest. IT IS A BIG JOKE and somehow most of the builders want mislead the customers. I am still surprised how do they advertised it is 11+ acres of project??!!
Dear Reddy
The project size is around 11 acres only, they are not mis-guiding anything.
But they are saying ~600 + apartments are being constructed in 8 acres and around 250 appartmentso will, be constructed in phase 2 on rest of 3 acres
And looks like p1 and p2 will share the clubest house andown other ammunities.
They should tell 11 acres 800 + apps
Hi Harish, how does the builder’s reputation go? This looks like one off project, 2 in Vadodara, how is their execution ability? Also how is the project compared to ROW, Marq and Ithica? Asking from investment point of view and concerned about cash flow.
Hi Deepak,
The company is cash rich as they have come from the Alchemy pharamceuticals background;
All the statutory approvals are in place and construction is in swing. SO you can consider this project
Hi Harish,
I have read through a lot of reviews and have found them very helpful in understanding the pros and cons of the projects. I am currently looking to invest in a 3bhk in the whitefield area and have shortlisted Skylark Ithaca, Achemy Urban Forest and Asset Marq. Can you comment on which of these three you consider the best and what are you reasons for that? Also can you recommend any other projects in the area that I can consider?
thanks and regards,
Roshan
Hi Roshan,
First preference would be Alchemy Urban forest – reason being Location and price
Second preference Assetz Marq – Key factor is project configuration and location
Third Preference Skylark ithaca – advantage is price
Hello Harish, I was looking at Brigade Lakefront and i came across this project. How do you compare this with Brigade LakeFront? Thanks in advance for your inputs
Hi Sajeev
Alchemy Urban Forest holds advantage in terms of location and pricing, i would suggest you to consider Urban Forest over Brigade Lakfront. Besides, project is equally good for self use / investment.
Hi Harish, I am confused between Urban forest and Prestige Lakeside Habitat. I am looking for 2 BHK for my own stay. Please suggest.
Hi Siddhartha
Both are equally good. If your criteria is location, then you may consider Alchemy.
Harish, Your views on investing in this project ?
As this is +3 years property, what will be a projected appreciation ?
Hi Rahul,
Its Worth investing in this project. Best Part of the project is Location & Price. Projected Appreciation trend is 12 – 15 % YOY.
Hi Harish,
Homznspace is a good initiative which you have taken and it helps many people. I came to know of many projects from this site. Thanks.
I am a first time buyer, my budget is 55-60L all inclusive. i need it for self use. I had shorlisted orchid footprints (As it was in my budget), now this project also looks good.
Is there any prelaunch offer and group booking in this project.
I did not understand the “other charges” part. Is this amount already included in the “payment schdule”.
Hi Harish,
I am interested in this project for end use.
I am not in country for a site visit so these are few concerns I have gathered from different forum.
Please help me to clarify below doubts
1. Approach road to this project ?
2. Cement factory near by s a concern ?
3. Vastu is not ideal as per few members from other forum.
4. Reliability of builder (only 2 under construction projects in Gujrat)
5. Traffic congestion at Hope Farm junction
Hi RKJ,
My views on your quires are :
1. Approach road to this project ?
60 Ft Road – Approx. 500 Mtr from main road.
2. Cement factory near by s a concern ?
There are no cement factory as far as i know, people are confused on Cement mixing plant which is installed at neighbouring project
3. Vastu is not ideal as per few members from other forum.
You will not get 100 % vastu in any project.
4. Reliability of builder (only 2 under construction projects in Gujrat)
Need not to worry, Construction is on full swing and Builder has very good funds backup
5. Traffic congestion at Hope Farm junction
:) You have to live with it. Road expansion is proposed.
