All,
I got a mailer from a channel partner of Divyasree group which had details about an upcoming project in Whitefield area. I am not 100% clear on the location, but it is about 500 mtrs from the Whitefield police station, away from the Vydehi junction. This project is in pre-pr-launch phase, and the builder is quoting RS 4200 (all inclusive) at this stage.
The pre-launch will happen a couple of months down the line and the official launch will happen in the 3rd Quarter. The catch is however, the 5l :O comittment fee that they are demanding which is a bizzare amount. I am to buying apartments, and I was only looking at Tier A+ buiders, far far away from the city.
I wanted to know your opinion A) on the builder B) on paying such a high lock in amount. (Thanks a lot!) – Raama V.

Hi, I have a 3BHK (2+1) unit, 1397 sft for resale at reasonable prices. This is North East facing, premium unit. Serious buyers please contact at .
I am interested. Please let me know if it is still available
Hi Girish,
are you looking for 2 bhk ? If yes, then can you send me email @
Hi,
Most of the 16 floor 3BHK Premium flat owners are choosing North East facing flats for Vaastu. In my opinion North West facing flats seems to be a best bet in both – Vaastu and in terms of light and air circulation where NE flats have most of their room windows facing podium which is a small triangular covered space blocking both air and light. One can see it clearly in the model blocks kept in ROW office.
Sorry for the typo. Read “podium” as “facing each other”.
I have got a 2BHK for resale in ROW. If interested; please send me an email at

What about the purposed CDP road going through the project plan area.
What purposed CDP road? Isn’t this project inside the SEZ and behind Accenture? How can there be a “purposed CDP road”? Maybe you mean the briGade project.
Please refer to the above project plan. On the right side of Phase II there is proposed CDP road going through the project plan area and amenities. Project amenities are on the other side of the CDP road. Please refer to the latest project plan at row.co.in.
Arun, do you have a link that shows where this CDP road is? Because when you look at the location on a map, there are already villas behind the project and the ITPL main road runs parallel to it on the right side looking towards North.
Please have a look into the two images uploaded here in this forum. Look for “PROPOSED CDP ROAD” in the first image and then refer to the second image where you can see it’s going through the amenities section of this project.
Can you please post the link to this?
I visited it yesterday and below are my concerns.
1) Traffic (already congested area): Check maps.google.com ‘traffic’ to see how it is during morning, afternoon and evening. Normally ITPL people avoid ITPL road!
2) Kavery Water: My understanding it kavery water will never go through this area even if it covers ORR, Whitefield main roads.
3) Exit to Broofield: Exits to ITPL Road and Varthur are already in there. Direct exit to Broofield is not there but it is mentioned in some places.
4) Ryan School Distance: Brochure mentions distance is 1.7Km. But I think way is around lake which is NOT a road (Maybe kids can walk from school!)
5) Delay in agreement: This directly relates finalizing master plan. Builder changed it many times to accomodate different things. 5L is booking amount, but date counter starts from agreement date only.
6) No of lifts: 2 per tower is mentioned, that means for 3BHK blocks it is 20 floors, 6 flats floor. That means 120 Flats get 2 lifts which I think is substandard.
7) Fire security: Auto fire/smoke detection, alarm, and water sprinklers missing which is scary!
8) CDP Road: I read few places where it mentioned that one flyover road will bysect residential amenities area with main compound. I am not worried about this, but is there any chance of IT Tech parks sharing resindential amenities?
9) Landshare: Nobody mentioned it, but how landshare works in SEZ area?
10) Deserted area from bus stop till Gate: atleast 200 meters between gate till bus stop is dark.
Below are good things I noted.
1) approach road wide and good.
2) Nearby Tech parks, walkable to most.
3) Police station is on walkable area.
4) BMTC bus stop and stand nearby.
5) Hospital nearby.
6) Apartment value will be there till IT companies stay in here.
I got the brochure by email today, the 2STN cost 41.3 to 48.3 lakhs and 2LUX costs 60-70 lakhs max..Feel i have missed a good opportunity last year. The amenities are awesome and looks to be a better deal than Lakeside Prestige . However per sq ft cost comes to 48/735 = 6500 .
Hi Vivek,
I’m Charles Hayward, Sales and Marketing Head for Republic of Whitefield. When you calculate per/ sqft price it should be done using the base cost only, in this case Land Cost + Construction Cost. Once you’ve calculated you will see the p/sqft price is approx Rs. 5800 for a typical 2 LUX apartment.
Do consider that our price is an MRP price so all infra costs, club house, car park, sinking fund etc.. are included in the total price which gives you the p/sqft price you mentioned above.
Do let me know if you have any questions. You can mail me at
Charles Hayward
Hi Charles,
There is a proposed CDP road going through the project plan area cutting the amenities section. Do you have any comments on this.
Hi Arun,
Yes, as per the latest CDP a road is proposed between the amenities area. At present it is planned as a flyover with our property and access running below the flyover.
However, as with many things which are “proposed” we will have to wait and see if it comes to pass.
@Charles, Thanks for prompt reply. I have bought 2LUX in ROW. Agreement dates have been postponed repeatedly. While we don’t get clarity as to approvals from CRM, could you please let us know why agreement is getting delayed?
also heard Divyasree has bought additional patch of land in the vicinity of project. Can you pls provide details on these and impact of same on agreement..? Thanks..
Thanks for your comment. Agreement delay has been due to delayed roll out of our CRM package. As you can understand we have hundreds of home owners to satisfy and needed to ensure the back end was strong enough to support you.
As mentioned by the CRM team, we expect draft agreements to start circulating on or before the 21st of May.
And a reminder that though agreements have been slightly delayed, the work at site continues at a rapid pace.
I’m always available at the Discovery Centre, so come see the progress first hand.
Does this complex has any exit towards Ryan / Brookefield?
There is a big open lot there – probably an extension of an old building of Hindustan Lever. Not sure what is coming there. Another tech park?
Hi Brook,
At this time no access is planned towards the Ryan / Brookfield side. Nothing is planned in the empty lot that we are aware of.
Charles Hayward
Hi Charles,
We appreciate you being open and disclose yourself as part of the Divyashree team, which many builders or representatives are not ready to do. They just promote the projects by pretending to be a buyer.
This exhibits clean ethics from your as well as builders side. Hats off to the honest behavior.
Just observed couple of things about RoW project by Divyasree:
1. Very transparent about their intent and communication
2. Highly Qualified folks in sales and Marketing team (couple of folks are PGDBM from IIM-A) and some are real property consultants
3. Management is very open interims of their inventory list. I have not seen of any builder doing that. below is link to inventory list as of mar 02 2014.
(http://republicofwhitefield.com/downloads/Availability.pdf)
4. Open for discussion in-terms of customer feedback during pre-launch to launch phase.
5. Engage in genuine business interaction instead of creating artificial hype about project.
6. Moreover, very sensible pricing strategy which is unlike other big project/builders who always intend to rip-off buyers.
7. They started quoting all inclusive price ex gov’t levies, ie MRP price for project.
I think they have showcased reasonably honest practices in business dealings in a sector which always been looked down when it comes to transparency and good business practices. With that I am sure they will be setting precedence for real estate industry! Good luck divyasree!
Couple of weeks back, received mail from Divyasree CRM to all “Republicans” (that is how they addressed those who have booked the flat) about the execution of agreement starting from mid-March. Mail was sent to total 453 mail ID, it seems some 50% flats are already sold by now.
May be sent by mistake, all subsequent mail sent to ‘bcc’ only
Good to see some positive feedback,
I would be happy to hear more about them and get the contact details for the person you been interacting with and take it forward
You may contact me at if you are looking for resale
@meet, I do not know if you were intend to be sarcastic.
But all I will ask you is, Do you see any Hoarding/signboards or adds in newspaper regarding RoW by Divyasree..? NO?
Do you see any of those irritating adds on economic times or any other such websites about RoW by Divyasree..? NO!
Now coming to simple example of PLH and BLF. How often you see them on times of india and Big Hoardings near kundalahalli., varthur and other parts of city..? What does this tell to us?
How I understand is RoW is value buy and they are not finding it difficult to sell.
Reasons why they are able to sell less liquid market..?
Location, Configuration (just enough for middle segment of market), Amenities and Price/total Cost and Brand.
With that, genuine buyers can sense what is value for money and what is insanity. Go find yourself.
I evaluated my decision to buy in RoW compared to recent fad i.e, Godrej United. What I feel is:
RoW is near to office, yet in the middle of serenity(look at the surrounding of project on maps)
Amenities/Play Gorund and Open space factor is way ahead of Godrej United.
Floor plans I agree smaller in size but OK for me as I am not used to bigger place so I can keep my mortgage less yet I can have my son play on a cricket ground!
For RoW, No Pollution and Dust as project is bit inside from main road
Access to Brookfield is something I always I admired about this project.
Lastly, my unit is RoW is NOT up for sale and I bought it for end use!
@Pioneer
I am not able to understand why you are replying to me ?
Did I ask you to analyse ROW ?
Did I ask you for sale/buy ?
My post was targetted to VJ, Not sure what is fuss around it?
The provided link is giving 404 Not Found error: http://republicofwhitefield.com/downloads/Availability.pdf
Correct link is http://republicofwhitefield.com/pdfs/Availability.pdf
@ ROW_Cust, I too found that link is now not working. Alternatively u can go to their website (http://republicofwhitefield.com/) and in the bottom of home page, there is a link for ‘Availability’. You can check there(they keep updating this periodically may be every week , as u can see date on availability pdf file).
Can someone tell about any online group available for the ROW customer to share the information and discussion about the project
Picked up a 2 BHK for investment. The overall experience was good compared to others.
How much is price now?
Regards
Kartik
A curious question? I got a mailer saying that please book your dream home in “xyz” by 15th Feb as price will increase after that. Now that got me thinking, if I were a builder, increase in price means more profit for me. And when I can earn more profit in 3 days time, why should i not wait for 3 more days and sell higher price? Why, I as a builder be “desperate” to sell at a lower price?
sign of desperation on the part of builders ???
all builders are cheating the public.wait till elections are over..if we have a hung assembly..then all builders should wind up their business and go home.
I regret to miss the prelaunch opportunity. Really it was too good offer. But now the price quoted by builder is on higher side which i don’t think to have much space to appreciate. If anybody who booked in pre-launch, willing to sell, please contact me on or on 08939913644.
Can someone tell me the advantage of buying an apartment in Divyasree Republic of withefiled vis-à-vis Prestige Lakeside habitat? Looking for a 2 BHK
different locations. Can’t be compared if you are buying for living.
if for investments – don’t know. time will tell. depends on time frame as well – 5 years, 10 years, 20 years?
if you compare at the project level – I would say RoW is better. It is right in the middle of a techpark, amenities to match PLH (may be better), earlier possession. If your office is in the same techpark, you dont even need to look anywhere else. Overall a better developed and better connected location than PLH. Coming to 2 BHK – I think Divyasree has messed it up big time. They have done a decent job with 3 BHK but 2 BHK is so so small. they have 2 variants – stn (standard) and lux (luxury). Lets come to stn first. negatives here are – (1) no balcony, (2) very small kitchen – 7×7, (3) very small bedrooms – one is less than 11×10 and another is less than 10×10, (4) no attached toilet/bathroom, (5) provides 2 very small (less than 4×4) enclosures in the name of toilet/bathroom – 1 is just a toilet and another is just a bathroom – so so old fashioned, almost reminds me of “sarkari quarters”, (6) no bay-windows. Any positives about 2 BHK STN – will write when i find one honestly. Now lets come to 2 BHK Lux. can be considered, only major negative is kitchen – 7’7″x 7’2″ – a very very small kitchen. Rooms/living/dining etc are not spacious but not cramped either – i would say manageable. So its your call now.
ROW is value for money compare to PLH. Location is fantastic, yes i agree 2bhk and 2+1bhk floor plans are not impressive but if you see other side by making bigger floor plan it would have cost more money. every 100sqft adds nearly 7 lacs.
Sachin: First time when i saw floor plan even i was feeling negative. but later after discussing it with many people i realized that we need to see floor plan with different angle.
2bhk stn is actually for those people who can afford only 1bhk in good society. By tweaking floor plan divyasree is giving them a 2bhk in same space. People with limited budget will understand how good this plan is. ofcourse it has some negatives but those are minor one.
2bhk lux: dining room and kitchen are small, but again as you said it is manageable. hall and bedrooms size is ok
2+1: At this point i am not sure if it is a hit or miss. but overall space is there. People from mumbai would love this plan but for bangaloreans it will take some time.
Heard price is going to increase from next week.
@satish : Curious to know how does 100 sqft more add 7 lacs? that’s almost 7k per sqft rate. Sure RoW is going at a lower rate than this. And by your logic if a builder gives you five 5×4 rooms in an area of 100 sqft, would you call it a 5 BR apt. Sure, builder has intelligently/innovatively used the space and created 5 BR apt. How many people in Mumbai (or even Bangalore) stay in 5 BR apt right? No proper bathroom, a terribly cramped kitchen, 2 pegionhole sized rooms and no balcony after paying almost 50 Lacs ( i dont know the price of 2 bhk stn at RoW but i am guessing it must be between 40-50 lacs) is not a minor thing for me. I can understand when people trying to defend on logical points but to me this is absurd. If you are spending your hard earned money, at least spend on something that is worth. Or stretch your budget and go for a 3 BR. if cant, at least look for a better house to stay in some other location from some other builder. Also consider the social consequences, in the high end society when you stay in the cheapest/smallest of the flats, poeple tend to look down upon you. You may not agree to this but this is the fact of life.
100 sqft -> 7 Lacs is final price including floor hike, vat, service tax, registry.
if you see current 1045 sqft 2bhk base price is 59 lacks, floor hike would be nearly 2 lacks, vat and st would be 6 lacs and reg would be 2-3 lacs so it makes total to 70 lacks. thats almost 7k final rate.
You are not getting a point that 735 sqft apartment would be small. Now some people make a studio in this space, some offers 1bhk and divyasree is offering 2bhk.
If you see some tier1 builders 1bhk (for ex brigade metropolis, prestige sunrise park) in same space you will notice that room size is small only 11*11 or 10*11.
You have an option to opt for bigger single room plan or little small 2 room plan.
if you don’t like the plan doesn’t mean that plan is bad. i already said that people with budget of 40-50 lacs for tier1 builder will appreciate this plan…in brigade metropolis you need minimum 60 lacs for this 1bhk.
Also if you see proper 1bhk plan in same space you will notice that kitchen size and room size will only be slightly bigger than divyasree’s 2bhk. you wont see a huge difference.
Now please don’t argue that stretch budget or go with another small builder and you get a bigger home. here i am talking about tier 1 builders nearly 750 sqft home.
if you want bigger rooms then bigger floor plans are there.
Satish – first of all my feedback was to subash (different story if that nick also belongs to you). So dont know why you getting into an argument with me and that too on absurd things. I was objective in my assessment of a 2 BHK and did not compare it with any other builder or anything. Your argument is bordering on something like “the crap satish is buying is better than the crap that others have bought”. What you dont realize is you are still buying crap. You want to justify the 2 BHK because somebody else is giving a studio or 1 bhk in similar SBA. My whole point was if you pay 50L or so, make sure you buy something that is worth 50L. That 2 BHK is not suitable for a family to live, you wont be able to find a buyer if you want to sell, and you cant rent out to a family either. Do you not see those challenges? And FYI, i am considering a 3BHK in RoW.
@Sachin_federer: Dont you think the price is high now for this project, 65Lakhs for a cramped 2BHK? The pre-launch guys got a good deal. What all other options you are looking at? I am also looking to buy a 2BHK for around 60lakhs.
@Sachin: So you couldn’t find anything in 50 -60 or 70 lacs, the cheapest not crap apartment you could find is 3bhk priced at 1.2 crore. I feel that you don’t have any idea about 1bhks or 700 sqft apartments because your budget is of 3bhk, you just saw a small apartment and said that its crap.
Can you atleast name some good project in same area where a good spacious apartment is available in 50 lacs ?
I would say wake up from sleep and go and explore real estate market.
Don’t pass comments like Mr. Tharoor who travels in business class, lives in Leela hotel and call economy class as cattle class.
>Can you atleast name some good project in same area where a good spacious apartment is available in 50 lacs ?
@Satish : Buddy do you research yourself. Dont expect people to spoonfeed you. If you are so happy with that pegionehole in RoW, go ahead and book. Your choice, your money.
sachin, eager to hear from you on the projects whose floor plan really impressed you.
@Etios Smith : Buddy I agree with you. Price is high for sure. But if you work in the same tech park you can think of paying the premium. Anybody who doesnt work in the same tech park, they neednt not. And its just my personal view, you can differ. Also, I am not looking for a 2 BHK. I am looking for a 3/4 BHK for end use, so cant help in this case. Good luck.
Satish:
Let me share the 3BHK 1610 Sqft plan of Brigade Metropolis.
M Bed: 12.3 X 10.8
C Bed: 11.6 X 10.8
G Bed: 10.8 X 11.4
I don’t see too much difference with ROW bedromm size.
http://www.brigadegroup.com/enclaves/metropolis/apartments/metropolis-luxury-apartments-floor-plan-16series.html#16102
The going rate is 1.2 – 1.3 Cr.
You have missed a big point that Brigade Metroplolis is having 2 TL (for 1610 sq ft.) whereas ROW is having 3 TL. I hope that is a mistake else wrong this is wrong interpretation. Good that you have shared the link.
The kitchen are european/US type. just place to stand, cook and hug . nothing else. but innovative.
There is no doubt and it is a value for money. Even corporate companies may lease out the flats for rental purposes. Also this one is right in the heart of whitefield and techno parks and hence resale value during project completion would definitely be higher (taking inflation into consideration). Rental values will be high as the amenities provided by ROW is not comparable with other projects. I see almost all the flats are sold out and I heard there would be another price hike shortly.
Hi,
Today I visited Mantri Webcity Project on Hennur Main Road and found the project is more impressive and cheaper then Divyasree ROW or Prestige LakeSide Habitat in terms of Future Development, prices and Appreciation. Surrounding to this Project all big other builders projects are coming like Salarpuria Gold Summit, Aspire, Bhartiya City , Purvankara Palm Beeach, Nitesh , Goyal Orchid. Hennur Main Road is developing in all aspects as all the big builders projects are coming there. Prices are also very much in check if I consider the brand name of Mantri . For 2BHK of 965 sqft they are quoting all inclusive 55-56 lks (Floor rices extra 30rs) and for 2 bhk of 1005 its around 62 lks (floor prices extra). Their Carpet area is 78% which is biggest by any tier A builder. So Carpet area is more than 2bhk of Divyasree (1047 sqft) pr PLH (1100 sqft)
Many International Schools , Colleges and Hospitals are surrounding this projects. Manyata is 5 kms. and Upcoming Nagavara Metro Station is near by. Roads are also very wide. I want to clear one more thing that I am not any sales guy of Mantri. I just wanted to tell as I liked the project which ivs ery much under my budget with all the best ameneties and future prospect of the area. I checked the Upcoming IT Parkes as well many of them are coming on on Airport road or Thanisnadra road which is adjacent road to Hennur Road. Proposed Peripheral Ring Road is 900 Meters from here. MG Road is 12 Kms from here with Bangalore East Railway station around 10 Kms. Bangalore Fast Rail Link which will connect Airport to city is also on the future list of Hennur Road. Tomorrow I am plannig to go book a 2BHK as I am convinced overall with Area, Builder, Carpet Area and other prospects.
Ok pls go ahead and buy ..All the best …Checked once thier plan..It was REAL CRAP…even ROW’s 2BHK (1047) Living Room is bigger than their 1740 sft 3BHK..don’t know why such foolsh architect was choosen..Price wise I hear same 4840 from last 5-6 months..so obviously doesn’t look as rosy as you seem to indicate..
@Akash,
Dude Get your facts right. . I calculated carpet area for Living+Dinining+Foyer(If any)+Kitchen for Both ROW and Mantri (1005 and 1740)
Foyer(If any)+Living + Dining
29.4 * 23 = 676.2 (Divyasree 1047) (including Foyer 30.6)
31.4*32 = 1004.8(1740 Mantri)
26.81*24.4=654.164 (1005) (including foyer 13.53)
Kitchen
7.7 * 7.2=55.44 (Divyasree 104)
9*11.3=101.7 (Mantri 1740)
8.6*9.1 = 78.26 (Mantri 1005) = = 101.7
Dude I have checked almost each and every small and big builder in Bangalore East and found one or other thing i need to compromise (either Price or Area). Mantri Webicity I found which is something I found satisfactory for me in both prospects.
correction 101.7 mistakenly mentioned.. correct one is already their for Kitchen for 1005 of Mantri Webcity
One more correction .. foyer (30.6) mistakenly mentioned to Divyasree.. .it belongs to Mantri (1740)..
But my point here is if I am getting more carpet area with Mantri Webcity (1005) than ROW (1047) and will be paying lesser around 5 lakhs+ with better Builder Name and better upcoming Developing Area so I found Mantri Webcity to be a better Deal.
Hi BR ..If you are satisfied then you must buy ..this is what matters most i don’t care what others say ..
Regarding dimensions..I mentioned about only living room not living room+Kitchen+Dining ..ROW is better than 3BHK of Webcity …We didn’t like the design at all …when we visited the Model Apartment last month then my wife Actually asked them where is the Living room and they said this passway is living room..Hell why such a bad design ..My Boss and his senior also visited and rejected straight away due to such bad design…Also I wasn’t convinced with their explanation about the adjacent land which belongs to some religious organisation and what my boss told that it is not right to assume that nothing will come up on that land (Webcity guys claimed that)
Finally Price I guess they must be offering you some discounts what we were told price for 1055 sqft on 4th floor was around 66 total (including a covered park) and I bought 1047 (on 5th level) in 65 including all in ROW (57.8 + 12.5% ) This was on pre lanch on 22th jan ..now ROW will cost about 68 . Can you pls share your price list ..
@Akash,
I agree with you that one should buy which ever project they found good and comfortable and in their budget. If any religious project is coming than Mantri Webcity is a 40 Acre project so I dont think its going to disturb anything and one should be open minded to except it as religious society will not cause any harm.. Moreover this project is already SBI approved, you can check yourself on SBI website under SBI approved projects so i dont think there is any dispute on the land . I booked on 4th Floor , they are offering discount and I got in 62 (all inclusive with floor rise) which is still 6-7 lakhs lesser than current price of ROW and possession for my house will be June 2016.
And one more thing ST+VAT+Reg is 14% which ROW executives were never telling to customers whereas mantri has mentioned these as well in the price break up.
I see the availability chart online now. http://republicofwhitefield.com/downloads/Availability.pdf
@akash. I think you have wrong understaning here.. For Divyasree (1047 sqft) living is 16 *10.8
wheras for Mantri (1740) living is 13.9*12.6 which is almost same but the dining for divyasree and other places for Divyasree are too small and not even can be compared with Mantri however , please find below some major dimenstion of Mantri (1005) (not included Foyer and Passage area)
Mantri (1005)
Living 12.6*11.8
MB 13*11
B 11*11
2T 8.4*5.1
K 8.6*9.1
Din 10.10*9.3
Utility 3.1.*6.7
Balcony 7*3.2
Please check with the Floor plan of Divyasree (1047) and let me know that except Living which other places you can have better than Mantri (1047) and i am not at all comparing Divyasree(1047) with Mantri (1740) as there is no comparison .
HI,
I work in Divyasree Techno Park from more than 5 years and I was very much happy after knowing Divyasree has launched residential in same campus. But when i checked their floor plan i was completely disappointed because of compactness of flats.
After I saw the discussion on Projects on Hennur Road , I visited it yesterday and found that it can be a good deal to invest there.I was completely surprised by seeing Salarpuria Gold Summit which is of 33 Floors and ready to move in and thought I had missed a good opportunity. Although I agree it would be far for me but definitely I may not be lifelong in same Technopark and moreover the roads are good and thinking about developments I felt its not at all a bad palce to invest. I went to both Mantri and Purva. Both looks good but unable to decide as poorva has not disclosed their launch prices. There are some other projects as well which I am thinking for. Thanks to Harshasagar for posting interesting threads which is helping me to think in different dimensions
Got an resale offer, 2+1 all inclusive 72+floor hike + reg, builder is selling the same @ 79 +fh+ reg.
is it a good deal ? please advise as i need to close soon.
he would have got at 60L + other charges you mentioned and now selling at 72 L so definately good deal for him/her 🙂
What is the current psft rate quoted by the builder?
@sameer : did you check the floor plan of 2+1. in fact they have a model flat of 2+1. check that out. in my view its a terrible design. two small livings separated by a wall. check with builder whether he will allow internal modifications? A very very small kitchen ( 7×7). I would rather suggest that you take their 3 BHK STN (standard). Its exactly the same size (SBA and CA wise) but better design than 2+1. Plus 3 BHK STN has bigger kitchen. my suggestion is, go and see the 2+1 model flat for yourself. My personal opinion is that 2+1 is a ridiculous design. Some people may differ.
@ sachin_federer, I agree with you on 2+1 and same is brought up to the notice of management by many pre-launch/launch buyers. The folks on RoW forum on Facebook are discussing with management to allow for removal on wall in the middle of living room (2+1), door orientation if same is made 3 STN, and larger kitchen and any other specification they may have brought for discussion. What I feel is that, traction for 2+1 is very less from end user perspective and eventually most units ideally can be made into 3STN as 2+1 makes little or no sense for many! (buyers no offensive pls)
Sachin…….You seem to be well versed on our project. I’m the VP Sales & Marketing for Republic of Whitefield project and invite you to direct queries to me at .
The 2+1 you mentioned has the option of removing the central wall and extending the kitchen, creating the same layout as the 3 STN.
Let me know if you need any more info on the Republic of Whitefield.

Hi,
I am interested in buying a 2bhk unit in ROW. Anybody reselling please contact me in .
Even I was thinking of buying in this project, but the price quoted by builder is on higher side which i don’t think to have much space to appreciate. If anybody who booked in pre-launch, willing to sell, please contact me on or on 08939913644.
Hi Anurag can u pls add me in this group
Divyasree is offering a special price with discounts from 2 to 5 lacs for the first 50 customers. The offer is valid between Jan 22nd 10:30 AM to Jan 24 6:30 PM, 2014. Call 9980808080 for queries and bookings.
Hi Harsha,
Don’t you thinks it’s too high price tag? With my little knowledge about real estate, I feel brigade lakefront would be more promising at similar price? What’s your opinion ?
Thanks so much for your help in advance!
it was supposed to be budget housing at pre-launch of Rs 4k – 4.2 psqft.
did something change?
@ K,
Website of ROW is up. Also please solicit cost breakup from ROW as well as BLF and then compare. I am sure, you will not be disappointed.
http://row.co.in/
it is a congested area. narrow lanes. lot of congestion. heavy traffic.
one can buy either (or both) of these. one will anyway be stuck in traffic often.
plus, with the rate of approx 6k psft, appreciation will be low in ether case.
water problems in this area as well.
Are the prices mentioned full prices? Or will Maintenance Advance, Corpus, Club House, Legal Charges, etc. be extra?
It is complete price but doesn’t include Govt Levies (ST+VAT+Reg)…Booked at 2BHK today..
First time a builder is selling on MRP basis ..No more per square foot and other charges.. A good start..This give clear picture how much you need to spend..I found builders charging so differently for Car Part (1.5 to 3) ,Club House (50000 to 2.5 ) BWSSB (100psf to 300psf) etc..
Anyway if you take out CAR (3lac)+ BWSSB/PowerBackup etc (2.5lac)+Club house (2lac)+Sinking Fund/Maintenance( 1lac)+PLC (1lac)…it will come down to 56.9-9.5 =47.4 for 1048 SFT..which is about 4525/- PSF. which I found reasonable because it is inside a technopark and one can walk to work..Specification are premium one…Amenities I found highest by any builder in bangalore…What I didn’t like is size of 2BHK is 10% small and they say it is done to keep prices less..
http://www.bangalorenest.com/Top-Stories/divyashree-technopark/
Check this link and see what it costed you not how you have reduced it .
this has a snapshot of cost list which was shared with pre-launch buyers
Thanks Rahul Yes I had seen this before buying..In fact I tried to buy in April last year but couldn’t as I was late… I consider it as missed opportunity . The charges I mentioned are the one I see on lots of builders ..You can check yourself. .
According to the list at the link the 2BHK was mentioned as 46 lac without Car Park so it will be 49+ and I paid 16% more (it is almost a year) whch I feel OK. BTW Now project is bigger in size and will have a cricket ground etc..Pls check at row.co.in
I am happy to avail 3lac discount…Will it give a great returns ?. I think Yes as per my analysis..But I am not GOD so I can’t say it will go up 100%. ..
Guys who have booked the apartment in pre launch van you tell me whether the overall price then is 4200 or it is only the base price and car park, I mean for the folks who booked earlier did the price is 4200+car park+ clubhouse+deposits+sinking fund and maintainence or it is only 4200 all inclusive pls. Let me know.
And if any one interested to sell a 2 or 3 bhk let me know
4200 was base price (including 1 car park ) + 140 (BWSSB + BESCOM) + 85000 (club house) + 3*12(maintenance) + 3*12 (sinking fund) + 29000 (legal) + floor hike + govt charges.
prelaunch price for us was
2bhk – 48 laks + floor hike + govt charges
2+1 – 62 laks + floor hike+ govt
3bhk – 78 laks + floor hike + govt
That means people who booked it during prelaunch are already sitting on nearly 25% profit :O :O
Also i noticed that floor hike charges are ridicules, for normal facing itself they are asking for 30 psft and for villa facing 60 per floor psqft. is this same for prelaunch folks ?
I am trying for 2+1bhk non premium but these people are not telling me the distance between tower and IT company building…does anyone knows this ?
Also i would like to know people’s opinion on which one is better 2+1 or 3 std ?
>> sitting on nearly 25% profit
minus >30% tax (on short term gain) minus some money that needs to be paid to builder for change of owner minus (1% or 2%) brokerage (i.e. if they can’t find a buyer on their own)
pft : Profit is profit..when other apartments in bangalore are giving max 10% profit between prelaunch and launch, prelaunch folks in ROW getting 25%…and you know that there are many ways to save short term gain…obviously one can’t make 25% today but this gives a good base to en-cash 70-80% return in next 3 years…people who book now will see an average 30-40% return only.
I called to their cusrtomer care number and they informed me that 2BHK lux was available at approk 57 Lks (excluding vat +ST+Reg) and told that after 28th Jan. Project will be launched and prices will be increased further so i went to 24th to enquire about this project. Their sales guy informed me that the same details so i checked availaibilty and decided to book 2bhk lux (1047 sq ft) next day. On very next day i went their morning to book the same. But they informe me that they have increased the basic price for 2 lux and others by 2.5 lakhs and more from now onwards which was supposed to be done from 29th Jan. This is really ridiculous that they are telling that lanch is on 29th but they are accepting bookings on launch prices before only. First of all they are not at all quoting lesser than any A grade builder as their sizes are comparatively very small then other builders so we decided not to go for it as first prices are higher and they are increasing like anything everyday and even the flats sizes are two small .So paying around 70 plus all togther for a compact size 2 bhk is not a wise decision.
I would like to buy 3BHK. Anybody intersted in selling 3 BHK, please contact me.
I am also interested to buy 2 or 3 bhk at Divyashree Whitefield project, if any one interested to sell pls. drop a mail or call me on 9241545354 with ur price details asap.
I am interested in selling a 3bhk unit. You can reach me on 9741510263.
Hello Rajesh,
I have booked the 3BHK Premium (H block 7th floor, flat no: 45). I am planning to transfer the 3BHK if you are willing to take the transfer charges. Pls. drop me a mail to if you are interested.
Thanks and Regards,
Sunandha Ramasamy
Any idea if got launched .. am told by DS folks that it will come out by dec’13 .. but no news yet. Am interested in it.
They don’t have permissions….some of the plans require for permission are still on drawing board…Divyasree’s whole focus in on luxury township and commercial projects (may be because core team is common and people are busy)
This is a confirmed news that few plans have been pulled back from bbmp office and company will submit modified plans….it will take minimum 2-3 months from here for approvals..
One way it is good for investors like me….don’t have to pay more money and you can stay invested for long period and make good profit with just 5L investment.
No harm for Divyasree because 3.5 years will start from date of signing agreement….
I got a mailed from DS informing about opeining of the switching window, and that the project will be launched on 26th Jan. Does anyone have access to the floor plans, coz there might have been changes.
Getting launched on 26th Jan
Project is soft launched @ 5100
2bhk@57 lakh + tax, 2+studio@ 75 laks +tax, 3bhk@93 lakh+tax
Launch is on 26th jan @5500
What is your source of info?
Looks attractive when you see these numbers but it gets very costly when you add it up.
2bhk will cost 70 lacs, and 2.5 – 93-94 lacs and 3bhk over 110 lacs.
they will not be able to sell more than 10 -20 units at this price itself and you are talking about 5500 rate OMG
why are they charging Sobha, prestige, brigade rates.i think they just have one residential building in bangalore, don’t know the quality.
Model flat is attractive and eye catching!! i liked the concept to 2+1
Present rate at that location same for other Top builders..2bhk @70 is common now..ROW location is the big advantage and Amenities..already to 400 to 500 flats sold out.
I am interested in selling 2 units of regular 3bhk (1685 sq ft each). Email me if interested.
Please share your email id.
Divyashree @ Rs 5800/sqft….I cant believe that people still want to invest in this project at this price….dont forget that Divyashree launched it as value homes…It aint a luxury project however the Brigade’s luxury projects Lakeside and Cosmopolis are also launched at around this price….Even ready to move in 3BHK (around 2100 sqft) apartments in a high end project like Presetige Shantiniketan are also available at Rs 5900/sqft that too on as high as 15th floor etc. Even the rents for such apts in Shantiniketan is around 40K. I am just writing to make ppl aware of the other options available in whitefield, Pls make an educated decision.
@Sameer, Yes. It was pre-launched as value homes. But eventually looks like they will launching it with premium specs. Since, I am a buyer in this project, I have seen specifications of project during allotment of units to pre-launch buyers. You do not need to trust my words, Just wait till Jan end and you evaluate yourself and then compare it with other projects.
I must say, I am not sure if they are going to price it @5800 psft. But considering the other costs such as parking(included in BasePrice), club house, infrastructure charges (which are much lower) and the Brand, it possible that they could be moderately aggressive in terms of Base Price. Hence, please do not compare project on Base Price. The total cost may vary significantly between same dimension of two builders due to PLC, Car Parking, ClubHouse, High Maintenance, reticulated gas connection, other charges etc. So be smart before drawing conclusions.
I wish I could give all the details of amenities and other specs. But I do not think it would be appropriate to write a entire story of movie when you are reviewing it on Thursday..! 🙂
I had a discussion with their VP on this point (value home), she said yes this project is value home and elan also belongs to value home segment. To divyasree luxury project is something where you get less apartments on big land, marble flooring, bigger homes etc etc….right now budget segment is in 4000 – 6000 range and luxury segment is selling between 7000-10000 rate.
Of course builder will try to fetch maximum from customer in the segment, Brigade were smart and confident so charging 5800-6000 from day1. Divyasree has little less brand value so they started 4200 the moment they realized that apartments are selling like hot cake they stopped bookings and now planning to test 4950 rate for next 200 apartment, if successful they will increase price and will try to go towards higher side.
I have booked small apartment in DS and its difficult to manage 50L but realized that there are many families who can easily pay 1cr for an apartment, and for many its 2nd or 3rd apartment…..can on the spot in 5 minutes decide for better apartment 5-10L increase in budget not a problem.
Lets discuss , I am interested .
Khushboo,
Even i am looking to sell my apartment. Most of the sellers are quoting 5800+floor hike + other charges. just giving you an idea….would be great and easy to sell if rates are uniform. Please keep it on the same line 🙂
Just curious if anyone successfully bought/sold/transfer their apartment , If yes – what rate and was their any transfer fee involved with builder ?
share your contact details rohit… we should talk….
Hi Khushboo,
You can mail me at .
Regards,
Shikhil

I”m interested in buying. can u pls mail me at ?
Please let me know your e-mail id and contact number at which I can contact you. I am interested in this offer.

Official launch expected in 2nd week of December
i recently came to know that india might be heading to sub prime crises..so be carefull while investing
in real estate..if everyone starts investing..in Realestate..that will be the end..
save cash and enjoy life…
Wat do u mean by sub prime crisis??? Can u Pls eloborate
The project is named Republic of Whitefield please update the title.
I think project would be launched in 2nd week of Jan as bbmp approval is still pending.
If anybody is interested in selling 2 BHK please let me know and we can discuss.
i have a 1400 sqft small 3bhk@6th floor south facing. Looking for 5800rs psqt + 300rs psft floor hike + other charges.
Only 5800 +300 = 6100 per sqft ?? Thats just 45% profit in 10 months. I am sure you can quote much higher than 6100 and there would be enough gullible people to buy. Real estate hype at its peak!
Real Estate prices in Bangalore off late is like Ripley’s Believe It or Not.. weird but truth.. well I am not suggesting one to buy at that price. But sad part is prices are not within reach of many; still they inches higher every quarter. And all those who are cynical and were waiting for ‘correction’ are proved wrong time and again. I would suggest a buy NOW in project which suites budget and aspiration instead of postponing..
it is not 45%.
It is 500%
He paid 5 Lac and will be getting 1800 (premium per sqft) * 1400(area of his apartment in sqft) = 2520000 which is more than 500 time his investment ..
Price doesn’t depend on how much rate you got it previously…its all depends on current market rate ,all A grade builders charging 5000+ in that area…just wait for lunch..you will see same price..
Can somebody explain how does this work –
If builder is giving for 5800 psft with 5L as booking amount and remaining on a slab basis and If I were to buy @5800 psft from an investor who booked at prelaunch stage (@ 4200) because of the preferred location, etc, HOW would my payment be to him/her ?
How should I pay him/her the difference ?
If anybody is interested in selling 2 BHK ( 1041 or 951 sqft), please let me know and we can discuss.
I have bought B4 type 1041 sqft. Would like to sell if the offer is good and transfer is hassle free
Please pass on your contact details, for transfer fee pls clarify with divyasree, accordingly we can figure out a way.

Prashanth
Hello Prashanth,
I too am interested to book a 3 BHK apartment in this project. As I don’t see their email address for enquiring can u please advise regarding their email id to ascertain exact loc (postal address) plan, price, payment & completion schedule for 3 BHK Apt “Behind DivyaSree Techno Park, EPIP, Whitefield” or how to get their user name & pass word to log in to “ask a question” ? (Being abroad at the moment, phone calls are not a satisfactory mode).
Regards, Peter.
Any update on the project launch ?
Name of apartment is Republic of Whitefield (ROW).
Launch will be late sep or early oct.price will be 5000/- per sqft.
I have booked 3 BHK in March.
Hi guys
I am interested to book a 3 BR apartment in this project and can’t book as the builder has closed the bookings. Does anyone know the date when the builder is going to take bookings for this project? Please let me know if anyone is willing to sell or transfer already booked apartment in this project. Please get in touch with me here –
Cheers
Which type you want ? how much you are willing to spend ?
I can transfer my booking if offer is good 🙂
I do not think so you can transfer the booking. I think I read it in the docs that I filled in.
Divyasree terms and condition says (as mentioned in their PDF document)
In case a Home Buyer desires to transfer the Agreements for Sale and Construction to his/her Spouse/children/parents/HUF, Transfer Fees of Rs.
1.00 Lac shall be charged by the company. For any other transfer or sale to a third party, the Transfer Fee Payable to the Company shall be Rs. 5.50
Lacs upto 31st August 2013, and as per the rates to be notified thereafter.
This is also written on the booking form. I have photo copy of my booking form duly signed by Divyasree sales manager.
Hi,
Is this project launched ? Is booking still happening ? How do i approach them, don’t find anything on their website about this project.
Pankaj,
Project will be launched sometime early next year and bookings are closed for now. Divyasree will open bookings again sometime this year end as Pre Launch and price would be high ~4800….i am considering to transfer my booking @4600 rate….if interested let me know.
Thanks
Rohit
Hi Rohit – please let me know your contact/mail details.
Pradeep: My friend is willing to purchase from me and we are waiting for launch rate…..you can leave your email with me….in case my friend say no then i will contact you.
If Divyasree hold the launch till year end then i will hold my bookings….during booking i was told that launch will be year end or early next year so i booked it….i don’t have money to pay 20% by aug/sep. i don’t know why are they hurrying up with launch.
Rohit, u can reach me p a d d y 1 0 0 5 @ y a h o o . c o m
why you put up a add for sale if your frnds was interested :-)..just checking if you can make 4600 or not…haha
I heard that they would be launching this year in August and price would be 4300. So, wait for some time and you may get it cheaper. 4600 is very high for this location.
Certain facts/things which one should consider;
1. Project is inside a Technopark so one can estimate rental yield
2. Provisional access to project from brookfield as mentioned in the website(http://www.divyasree.com/Commercial/Ongoing/TECHNOPARK.html).
3. Price of projects from equivalent builder in vicinity like, Brigade Lakefront, Rohan Avitri etc is much higher.
4. Price quoted i am sure excluding parking (as they did during the soft launch)
5. More importantly location is not Gunjur or Off-sarjapur road to conclude as price is ‘very high for this location’. It is at the heart of THE HAPPENING Place.
6. Better surrounding area with a school, IT park. Which is Unlike other area with defunct chemical or cement factory etc
7. Relatively Low infrastructure cost, clubhouse charge (pls check marketing brochure during soft launch)
8. Any other benefits of living in EPIP on top of above.
9. Much better access than borewell road area considering the vicinity to IT offices.
Inspite of all these, if any reason one considers why the price is higher for ‘this area’, is greatly appreciated.
Hi Rohit , If your ROW flat is still available , I would be intrested to purchase . You could pm me .Thanks
Actually i got allocation of a 2.5 bhk, south facing in one of the top 5 floor (total 20 floor). No one knows the exact rate but speculations are that project will be launched@5000-5050 rate(this info i have from a premium brokerage firm), some people are even speculating 5800 base rate+ floor hike.
Obviously i would like to earn maximum from my bookings so i am holding my decision and waiting for launch. Without a guidance rate i can sell only@5800 rate. Please note that budget would be 5800+ nearly 1000(floor hike) + other charges….close to 1C + reg.
i can help you guys in changing floor or to non premium side or to a non premium 3bhk unit.
If you feel 5800 is high then better wait for launch.
Please reply with your contact details.
Good try, All the best 😉
Hi Rohit pls let me know your contact details via email. I m interested in buying a flat .
Thanks..
Is this project officially launched now ?
Project will be launched sometime this year end or early next year. Issue is height clearance due to airport authority building in brookefield area….builder is trying to get clearance for more floors. Not sure if divyasree would reduce flat ceiling height to construct more floors in permitted limit.
It seems like they don’t have solid plan…first they came out with 4 types of 2bhk and 3 type of 2.5 bhk but later they cancelled 2 type of apartments…
which type you are interested in ? i am waiting for their model apartment, 2bhk+studio in 1300 sqft is a new concept. Could be hit or flop…my personal opinion is that it would be flop…all rooms are anyway very very small…just need to see how big is hall in main apartment and how big is studio.
Any body from Accenture in this forum ? Can you let us know the discount/rate offered ?
Has anybody got the token number from Divyasree ?
I have some knowledge of RE industry….400 bookings in prelaunch is not correct. Divyasree has booked only 150-200 flats and next 400 flat they will book during launch…which is 50% of the apartments. remaining 50% apartment they will try to sell over next 3-4 years in much higher price. Also i have some info that launch will be @4700 rate (If you are ok to pay 4700 then you can give your cheque even today to DS office). Construction will take ~4 years…you will not get apartment before mid-end 2017.
Price will reach ~5000 by this year end.
What do you guys say about floor plan….to me except D1 and B4..all plans looks bad…many people have booked C3 but if you go realistic way and try to measure room /kitchen and hall physically you will find it too small…is it worth spending 75L on a flat which is neither a proper 2bhk…nor a 2.5 bhk….to me it looks like many small rooms in 1350 sqft….your opinion guys….i have done booking without selecting apartment type and need to decide apartment type asap.
Looks like Divyasree is pushing hard for their doublement concept to all of their upcoming properties….2bhk + studio in 1200 sqft…2 families with parents can live in that apartment…Thanks to divyasree for promoting mumbai chawal like living in bangalore….i am sure their car park would fit 2 nano!
Hi, While I had booked a unit already, a friend of mine approached them for a booking at the launch price (as suggested in the mail above), however, they are not taking any cheques. I have a token number of 300+, hence I am assuming that they have for sure sold 300+units.
Also, the total units are 1300+ units, hence 300 units is only about 22%, which is a regular pre launch inventory for any project.
@ Avik – I would suggest a D type if you are looking for 3 bed room. the rooms are large and spacious.
Divyasree Vs. Plazzacity Vs. Bhartiya city … Which one you prefer ?
Divyasree 2bhk 1041 sqft (all inclusive) 58L
Plazzacity 2bhk 1242sqft (all inclusive) 70L.
Bhartiya city 2bhk 1056sqft (all inclusive) 62L
Plazzacity floor plan is better and its a proper 2bhk
Divyasree whitefield project, have the bookings opened now?
How did u come to 58 lacs cost for 2 BHK 1041 sqft?
47L is already listed in Divyasree pdf + 4L (tax and service charges)+ 3L(reg/khata/etc)+2-3L floor hike (10th floor) + 1L (inside facing PLC)
for registration i am counting full price of apartment. People can save money in that but i guess that will be issue if you resell, capital gain will be huge.
second if you want a corruption free govt/offices/env then start from your home.
This would be my second home so i know it will cost this much, later i don’t want to blame builder for hidden charges…
One of my friend has booked it but now he wants to transfer the booking in my name…we have discussed with divyasree office and since agreement is not yet done so they are ok to switch by charging a small fee.
which pdf you are talking about?whats the price per sqft, i know prelaunch was 4200 but i guess thats closed now.
Is there anybody else who has a prelaunch booking for 2 BHK and interested in doing a transfer?
Naveen,
check this price list, this is from same pdf but now rate has changed to 4200
http://www.bangalorenest.com/Top-Stories/divyashree-technopark
you can see all floorplans @
http://www.propertytimes.org/project/divya-sree/sizes.html
wait for sometime and bookings will open again.
Rate has changed to 4200??i thought that is the price they opened the bookings at?
never get into prelaunh offer..IT is not doing good and it seems bleak..beware of huge EMI that people may need to pay everymonth..
Agree if you are taking loan to pay pre launch booking price.
DS will launch this project minimum @4500 rate, even if they launch and start construction after 1 year , you are saving 5L in just 5L investment.
I understand the launch price is Rs.4800/- Plus as indicated by Divyasree. they are not committing to it, but say in the vicinity of this range. Also they are looking at launch in end June.
Could someone forward the mailer from divyasree to me
Hello All,
I am trying to buy one of there apartments. I saw down the blog, that people have bought some of the plots already. My question is: Did you happen to bargain on the price per sq feet? Will Divyashree not accept a lower rate?
Your advice on this is valuable. Please help!
-Prashanth
I have been enquiring with DivyaSree and they have closed the bookings now, with almost 400+ unit sold.
Go with the cheque and you will be able to book it.
yes negotiate well, i got 200 off. They gave me accenture discount. Marketing team suggested me to come with a friend who works in accenture with his id card.
I am looking to book but there marketing team are telling that they are not accepting any further booking. Is their any broker etc who can help ?
When did you book and what is the rate that you got ?
Pls let me know ur mobile number – bhola(dot)blr(at)gmail.com
The discount to Accenture is not yet finalized. How can you get Rs 200 discount ?
hi Pradeep, can you let me know through whom you got 200 off, how much you booked for (4000?), and date have you booked?
3900. sorry can’t share more details…thats the deal…Accenture discount is a known thing and when i booked this project was not known to any brokers..why you guys are surprised..
You are damn lucky !!! Now they dont even accept atRs4200/-.
Looks like huge initial response have made them greedy for more.
Can i know what block and when have you bookeD?
Please share your contact No at my email id :
What is your contact no?
I noticed that all the flat types have 2 bathrooms side by side facing each other.I don’t know what’s the use and reason of that.One of the bathroom is supposed to be attached to one of the rooms.
And also both the bathrooms are just beside the kitchen.Which could be unhygienic.
Ankit,
Did you discuss this with builder…is there any scope of floor plan change ? I am looking for a bigger unit but i didn’t like the concept of 2 apartments in 1370sqft…all rooms are going to be very small in that apartment…even if builder gives a door b/w two living room it is not going to solve the purpose….regarding 2 bathroom side by side and total 3 bathrooms in 2.5 bhk..can we opt for only one bathroom…may be bigger or merge 2nd bathroom space with adjacent room.
Hi MD
I talked to the builder while booking itself.He told me that he had received such complaints from other people as well.So they are considering of re-planning it.
I also talked about having only 1 bathroom and make the other one as a store room.But he told me that he cannot guarantee or give any assurances.
Divyasree office told me that floor plan are not final but they didn’t mention any specific change…for this reason and b/c of divided hall i opted for type B4. They should have another plan for 2.5 bhk…small kitchen and two small rooms are not good.
Good thing is they are giving 75% space…for type B4 we are getting ~790sqft /1041.
Hi guys… I have booked C3 type….went thru group booking………it’s direct booking…not thru agent….Accenture guys took 200 units in last week told by divyashree guy… Got discount also…if any details please call 9945276186
What was the discount you got? I am told the price is Rs.4200/-, at which they closed.
I also booked a 2 BHK C3 type @4200 psqft.
I find the location as very good.

well, looked promising initially.
Priced within budget by keeping the size of apartments small (very small!!).
Most of the apartments (2BHK) don’t even have a balcony. Suited for rental purpose. Not sure how many would be end user. There are gonna be 1300+ apartments.
Well, they are providing clubhouse + swimming pool + other amenties (and we ll be paying for it too – downpayment + monthly maintenance) but no balconies!
Its like Maruti coming up 600 cc 4 wheeler with only 2 doors and pricing it below alto.
C3 type apartments have a balcony i guess.
Bhola bhai thats reality now…there are many apartments available where 2bhk is ~1300 sqft but at the same time it comes with a price tag of 70L+ 25-30% other charges…..
For type C1 2 bhk received price list 4200 *1198= 5031000 and including other charges maintenance adv it is 5399076. Which type is better for 2bhk .
VAT, service tax and registration charges are extra. VAT and service tax is approximately 8% of the total cost so total cost of 2 bhk , 1198 sq ft. would be approximately 57.5 lac + registration charges.
hi,
i today i called them they said that they stopped bookings is it true?please let me know
Hi Raji,
Even I came to know bookings are stopped, you can try during the project launch.
its 400 bookings.I think they will open booking again after the lunch around june end or july
if there are 400 bookings already done without general public being aware of the launch and without approvals, then are these not investors/speculators ?
Hi Raji,
Today I called my broker to book a flat for my friend, but has been informed that they stop booking for the time being and will be start soon with new rate within a range of Rs.4,500 o 4600 per sq.feet
Regards
Gopakumar
I found the price breakups and a basic layout for the lowest sqft (726) and for the highest one (1638).. http://www.bangalorenest.com/Top-Stories/divyashree-technopark/
Hope its useful to guys who r planning to book an apt. I m not sure wht cld b the water situation in this area… as such B’lore east is very poor in its water bed densities. With 1300 units getting constructed in this premise, Borwells / Water tankers wld b the only dependency factor going ahead… Wld appreciate your feedback on my opinion
Sorry typo error.. Highest one being 1685 I/o 1638 (as mentioned by me in my earlier post)
Without any doubt i feel type B4 – 2bhk 1041 sqft is best, room sizes are better than C3…B4 final would be ~60L however C3 will cost you 80L.
I feel its not worth spending 80L on a compact 3bhk..i would rather go for regular 3bhk D1 in 90L
FYI. i am referring to Divyasree price list + 30%
7.5 & for registration
12-13% – for VAT and service tax
another 7-8% for PLC, floor rise and bescom/bwssb expense.
@ Ashwin / Gopakumar please confirm is 4200 psft all inclusive rate coz I spoke to executive who said base price is 4200 please let me know how much would the
2BHK Economy + Studio [Type C1] -1198Sft cost are they not providing balcony or windows for this please let me know.
Thanks,
Yar
Dear Yar
Rate per sq.ft is Rs.4200/- and total cost of Flat for 1198 Sq.ft including car park + infrastructure + association fund+ 1 year maint. etc will be Rs.54 Lakhs
Regards
Gopakumar
54 Lakhs + VAT and service tax.( approx.4 Lakhs ) + Registration (approx. 2 Lakhs).
So total cost would be around 60 lac for 1198 Sq.ft
Hi,
Those who have booked can stay connected through this google group called “Divyasree-whitefield-residentialproject”

HI,
I booked a Divyasree apartment on Mar 31, type C3.
Please add me to the group Divyasree-whitefield-residentialproject.
Thanks,
Gaurav
Well – I’ve booked a 2 BHK and stay in Whitefield — it may be a concrete jungle etc. but I think the project will do well with a ready audience with captive IT companies in the park. I am looking at it from an investment purpose only and if I look at branded builders in Whitefield area – I do not see any builders offering a 4200/- all inclusive rate and this apt is coming up in a decent area of WF and less than 1 km to main bus station / malls etc.
What is the final price for 2BHK. Can anyone tell me this plz
is the pre-launch booking stoped for this one?
Dear M.Shambbu,
Pre Launch booking is still continuing @ Rs.4,200/- per Sq.feet including the cost of car park,
Today I have booked a 2BHK+Studio with balcony – C type. Project officially launch in July/August.13 and Construction may be commenced in Oct or Nov’13 and procession in mid of year 2016.
Hi All,
Looks like, Pre Booking is stopped for Divyasree. You guys have any idea, how many are booked so far?
Hi,
I had posted earlier.
I visited the site as well yesterday and have booked the 1368 sq ft unit (called C3). Paid the money today. A booking partner told me they are likely to increase the price soon to rs 4,300 psqft but could be a bluff.
The site is within a tech park…no doubt that it is between buildings…the surrounding area is largely business, but with 1300 units…this itself becomes a residential area so to speak.
There should not be a land issue as Divyasree already owns the 82 acre plot. There is also a hotel property coming up in the 82 acre plot itself. The 13 acre residential units are towards one end of the 82 acre plot. The plot on 2 sides has companies….Right behind the plot is villas by Sobha…and on one side it is currently vacant and there is a road…
Seemed ok to me.
AshishB
Congrats Ashish for your booking. I also interested on C3-1368SQFT flat. I have few queries, would you mind in response please?
1. I have seen huge infrastructure price, what is this for? but i cant see the car parking price?2. I believe we should pay 5L booking amount and rest of the amount should be paid based on the construction.
3. I think this one is 2bhk+studio, so we can use one for end-use and rent the other or rent both? If yes, can we get the 2 car parking space?
4. Do you think master bed room attached with the bath room?
5. If you dont mine can you share the price and also booking partner details please.
Thanks
Hi All,
Thanks for posting valuable information here! I have a few queries on this project and would be glad if anyone can help.
1) As far as I am aware, the whole area is a SEZ land and constructing a residential complex there would require denotification of land.I have been told that has happened but are we sure of that?
2) I do not think there is anything in the vicinity for shopping daily needs neither is the builder planning to build any supermarket in the complex. Any clues here?
3) For people who have already visited the site, can you please let me know how far is it from the Technopark main gate and are there any public transport available outside(auto/buses)? I guess the nearest bus stop is Vaidehi hospital which is about 600 m(+400 m from gate assuming) so comes out be 1 km of a walk beore we get a bus.
4) How many apartments per floor are going to be there?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Valid points.
1) SEZ de-notification of land–> no idea. Pinning hopes on good reputation of builder
2) Shopping –> nothing walkable currently. Big bazaar and inorbit mall within 2kms. Don’t know about retail unit in campus.
3) No Public transport after Vydehi yet. Residences easily 400m from tech park gate. But completion is in Dec’16 for Ph1 and Dec’17 for Ph2. I still think public transport will not come close to the gate of the tech park. it on a sort of a closed loop. In a way it could be better from a traffic perspective.
4) How many apartments per floor are going to be there? –> approx 100. 14 floors, 13 blocks and 1285 units.
Thanks,
AshishB
Hi Ashish,
Did you directly approach Divyasree or through some agent ? Could you please share your contact No or Email Id? I would like to discuss with you about this project as i am also interested in booking a flat in Divyasree.
Thanks,
Sanju
Hello Ashish,
I also booked the same unit. Have you discussed anything about the common wall (wall between 2BHK and Studio)? As we were planing to remove that but DivyaSree ppl told that we can remove the complete wall but we can have a gate between them. Do you have any idea of this?
Manjari
Hi Manjari,
They said the same to me. It is a load bearing wall and only a 4ft gate kind of passage can be opened in it.
Purpose of the studio is to allow it to be put on rent. Otherwise, 3 Toilets are also an overkill in a 1368 sqft space in my opinion. Not sure if getting C3 applicants together and talking to the builder will help.
Thanks,
AshishB
Thanks Ashish,
Yes i am ready to discuss with builder… because i m not looking for any rental benefit i wants to fulfilled my 3BHK requirement with this:) it would be gud we they permit us to have atleast 6ft passage.
Manjary
Guys,
I visited the so called project site.Its not a residential area at all . The house will come up in the midst of all concrete jungle housing IT companies.
Vinay
Hi Vinay ..is it that the ventilation will be an issue… Your statement can be good in a way that it will be always occupied & will generate rental income for investors …
Plus is this a economy Project ?
Its in middle of IT companies.. off course this will go out for high rentals and price subsequently. Also there is a metro station a km away from the project around the time of delivery. This property will surely be around 7000/- in about 3-4 yrs.
Hi ,
I am also interested in buying 2BHK flat in divyasree tech park,
Pranesh : Could you please share your contact No? I would like to discuss with you about the project.
I got an email from one of the property broker regarding the Divyasree new whitefied project launch. The rate they offered is Rs.4,200/- per sq.feet. Could you let me know whether this project location is good?
I learned from reliable sources that Divyasree is a reputed builder with good track record.
Located at centre of so many companies, entry of the apartment will be through the tech park. Awesome location.
Thanks Mr.Pranesh for your valuable information. I will be at Bangalore on end of this week and planning to visit the project location. If the location is good like what you said, then I am planning to book one.
I got feed back from my friends that Divyasree is a good and quality builder.
Even I booked a 2 BHK, all the best. Hope you get at best price.
how much booking amount u paid?
and, when is the expected possession?
can u plz brief me about that?
if u can’t share on the forum, plz get in touch with me at OR, alternatively, pass your email id to me.
Thanks,
Ashish
Hi Guys,
I hope you booked the flat which is having a balcony. Because there is some 2bhk type which are not having a balcony or may be you will get a 1 balcony or if you will pay around 47L then you will get 2 balconies.
Please clear me if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Vishu
5lac is the booking amount, possession date is not disclosed by the builder. But I am sure it is gonna be the valuable investment for future
Hi Parnesh,
Just wanted to chk when they are planning to start the construction for this. Also what if someone wants to cancel the booking at the time of launch. seeing actual plan/amenities etc?
I am not discouraging anybody here. But for ppl who have already booked, can you clarify the follwoing –
1. Is there water availability ? Will you depend on tanker water throughout the lifetime of ur stay in apartment.
2. How many floors will be coming up for ~1300 apartments ?
3. Isn’t 5L a big sum to take (without paying any iterest) for a property that is still in approval stage ?
4. Will amenities be ready by 1st phase or for there might be a wait till phase II gets ready (no timeline for that yet – could be 2017/18?)
Hi Pranesh,
Congrats.
Could you please let me know what is the booking amount? and on what rate you got it.?, Is the builder is giving any interest for the booking amount. If you feel that if it is unethical to disclose the rate, please provide your email or Mobile no. I will contact you directly.
Thanks and regards
Gopakumar

Hello Pranesh,
I am interested in this project. At what price you got it booked. Any group discount are they offering….
They are taking bookings at 4200/- in the construction site itself.
Hi,
I am also interested. We can approach builder together or through a partner. They are likely to announce pre-launch in June’13 but might not hold price-point till then depending on interest it generates and bookings/enquiries they are getting.
Allotment style is common to what others do. Cancellation is stringent and they said it is done to keep away investors who book and cancel at will.
Thanks,
AshishB

Hi Ashish,
I will be at Bangalore on end of this week and see the project location. After that I will decide whether proceeds further or not. My contact No. is 09947181058.
Ashish: The catch is that you need to pay Rs 500,000 to ‘reserve’ a project in pre-pre launch stage.
1. Even the A+ builders do not charge this kind of money
2. I am not sure of the credentials of Divyasree builders
@all: I have decided to ‘pass’ this oppportunity
Divya sree is A + builder only, check out the commercial projects they have completed
Yeah I too receive the mail for the same. I suppose it is behind the Accenture campus. One of the partners is offering the (pre) pre-launch price too be 4100/- If anyone interested let me know / share your contact info.
i m interested…pls share the details
Hi,
I am interested in buying @ 4100. Please email me the details @ .
Thats the old price ,now its 4200/-
I am interested, please share the details at
I too received the same. There are couple of points i noted which was strange. 1. 5L booking amount.
2. They are saying, the plans and sqft area might change forward.
3. Cancellation fee charges are different – it ranges from 30K to 10L depending on when you are cancelling.
4. Allotment happens only after plan finalization and launch
The question is what if the flat that you are interested gets drastically changed and you don’t like it: you will end up loosing 2L.
I did not get exactly the catch which you mentioned.
Can you elaborate in detail?
Thanks,
Ashish
What is the booking amount 1.5L or 5L? Also is the builder agreeing to give interest on the invested money like Brigade group coz pre-launches promise a launch date that is never adhered to by any builder?
booking amount is 5L.no pre emi offers like ither builders.
I am considering this project and it seems like a good end use as well as investment project. I work nearby and my son goes to Ryan. Hence to me it seems a good buy
I visited this property today and as discussed this in mid of IT companies.
But these are the issues which I observed
1) 5.5 lakh should be paid to builder if you resell your flat befoee registration. Hence this is not for investors.
2) There is a dump yard at the back of the project ( behind GE).
3) No clarity on the start date.
4) No commitment on launch dates as everything is “may be”
5)So much of the commerxial contruction is stopped and there are chances that our 5L deposit will get re-used there.
Overall, this project looks good for people who want to stay and working close to these IT PARKS.
The booking amount is 5L
