Arge Helios Concerns
- Arge Realty is new to real estate and this is their first residential project, considering that the promoters come from a garment export business with over 100 million turnover, this could be a plus as the company would want succeed in the real estate market and develop Helios as a reference project
Arge Helios Investment Plus Points
- A 100 metre driveway to ensure you are away from the busy Hennur road but yet accessible
- lot of new projects being launched on Hennur Main Road making it an upcoming residential locality
- Close to Manyatha Tech park
- Special attention to Vastu compliance
This Project is situated at very fine place but lacks from multiple angles
1. Management : There are some very non serious executives in Management who seems to be owning the project. I recently brought apartment after being influenced by some existing owners. It seems builder is taking help from Owners for sale.
2. Mis management : Lot of mismanagement these executives are doing because of their non listening attitude and arrogance.
3. Plumbing and leaking issues : Came to know that water is coming from all over points
Dear Mr Sandeep,
Pointwise replies to your comments :
1. Management : There are some very non serious executives in Management who seems to be owning the project. I recently brought apartment after being influenced by some existing owners. It seems builder is taking help from Owners for sale.
Congratulations!!! on purchase of a unit in our project. If the existing owners have influenced you in your decision making, we feel we have lived up to their expectation. With respect your issue on non-serious executives, we would request you to please come to sale office and we can resolve the same.
2. Mis management : Lot of mismanagement these executives are doing because of their non listening attitude and arrogance.
Our executives are customer friendly and cordial. However, if you have any issues, we can discuss this when we meet up.
3. Plumbing and leaking issues : Came to know that water is coming from all over points.
This is definitely a baseless statement as residents have been living here for over an year now and any such issues have been addressed to their satisfaction.

I own a 2.5 bdr flat in Helios and we will be moving in this week. Writing this comment to help buyers make a decision on this project.
The main reason we went with the project was its location.
Its close to the city and at the same time gives easy access to the airport.
The pollution levels in an around this area are also much lower than other parts of the city.
There are two sports clubs within walking distance.
Supermarkets and all sorts of stores are close by, so I really dont have to waste much time commuting, which was a big plus for me.
The other plus point I noticed was the lighting and ventilation. Having biozeen on one side and a row house project on the other, gives a very open feeling. I get plenty of sunlight in my house.
I found the sales team upfront with the cost details, all the details given upfront and no cost surprises later.
Now as for regarding the apartment, the construction seems to be of good quality, good noise isolation from the neighbouring flats as well.
I did have a few issues which were promtly attended to by the project manager.
Regarding amenities, such as swimming pool and gym, they are up and functioning.
Though, items such as providing heated water to the pool, backup lighting in these common areas, and a bunch of similar features are still work in progress. Hoping for them to be completed soon.
To sum it up, we are happy with our decision to purchase a flat in Helios and are excited to move in.
heard about the dasshera offer , price being bought down to 5000 /sqft .. still not able to decide considering the comments from existing buyers on this forum .. not able to make a decision on this yet .. when is OC expected .. we could make a decision if the OC is already in place ..
Mr Rohan,
If you have already visited our project, we would have definitely informed that some of the residents who have already moved into the project and have been living here for the last 3 months. They have been using the facilities/amenities too.
OC as mentioned earlier is on the commissioner’s desk and is expected any time and definitely not later than 27th October 2016. We are awaiting his signatures on the documents.
Hope this clarifies your query.
Hi all, Our OC is in the final stage of approval and is on Commissioner’s desk. It is expected ASAP.
Regarding water, we have already paid BWSSB water deposit for all apartments. However, it is not in our control as Govt has to decide on the connection towards this part of Hennur. As of now, we have 2 borewells and the yield is very good. 3rd borewell is also planned.
As per our auditor’s instructions, VAT & ST is applicable on Car Park. Hence we are charging the same.
hope the queries have clarified to your satisfaction

hi, our anguish and frustration is increasing week after week. Even after repeated meetings and promises, there is no progress on the said facilities. The management makes such false promises that you feel you are at their mercy. The attitude they are showing is that they dont care now since they have taken all the money. Its take it or leave it. the final product is no where close to what has been promised, lots of areas they have compromised. I would be careful of buying any property from Arge…they are charging the product as a lifestyle/Premium one but it is no where close to that. The security features in the apartment is very poor and they dont seem to care about it.
We have not compromised on any of the amenities committed and our management is providing all the facilities that have been promised. All owners at Helios are happy and the following comment is a proof of the same –

Helios Owners SEPTEMBER 14, 2016
Dear All,
We are the owners of Arge Helios. If you are owner at Arge Helios, Please contact us on to join Owner’s group.
We are happy that builder has handed over the flats for interiors ahead of schedule and construction is complete before the committed date.
Project is not yet completed, hence please refrain from posting any negative reviews on non-delivered amenities. Builder is still working on amenities ?
Regards
Helios Owners
================
Video door phone which is a security feature will be provided ASAP.
If you are one of the owners please come and talk to us/Mr Arulnathan in person.
There seems to be a big contradiction .. One owner group says project is good whereas some owners say the opposite., which side to believe is the question.. Anyways, all buyers should validate any first time builders carefully before moving forwards..
When you see such contradictory comments it certainly does not give you a comfort level for such huge investment. End of the day the buyer is at stake and all current owners should provide the true picture of the situation to be able to get the full commitment from the builder to deliver what was sold.

Did they provide the OC .. can you all kindly update on OC and other missing amenities that the builder is working on currently .. how about water supply .. we visited the site and felt that water may be a problem down the line ..
Also i looked at their pricing .. Car parking doesn’t attract any kind of Service TAX , but they add them as part of their construction cost and ask for service tax which is incorrect .. did you all agree for this pricing ..
When will the OC given to the builder by the BBMP Engr. We as a family visited the site. No doubt they are good as on rear side villas and family are staying and no chance for any other high rise building would come up on the west of the building.
It is not yet distempered properly and therefore, looks bit shabby.
However, we wish to chose either this or Salarpuria Aspire.
Let us see what is written in our fate!
saleem
Whats the opinion of other customers who have bought a flat here. I dont see the project match the brochure. Makes me trust the integrity of the builder.
Dear Sir,
Firstly we need to know who you are and your apartment number, to better address your requirement.We got commencement certificate in 10th Feb. 2014 and have registered customers starting from 22nd March 2016 and handedover flats for interiors from January 2016 itself. The project size is of 3.7 L sft. Which project in Bangalore has met such schedule in 23 months. In given times project of such size are completed in -5-6 yrs.
Please look around in Hennur area itself and all projects started before us are no where near completion.
You must first be a happy customer who has got his apartment key or will get the key in next few days as we do not know your apartment number.
Your comment on builder integrity is answered by the above.
On the product not matching with the brochure is premature comment/analysis as the project is still in finishing stage
Why are you commenting on a unfinished product. Helios when finished will have each and every feature mentioned in the brochure.
We have applied for O C and this is expected as per timeline.
Please let me know your flat no and Block in ARGE Helios.

I have booked an apartment in Arge Helios recently. Can I have the phone numbers of others who have also booked here. Would like to take their feedback on the property.
can you add me @rajiv,
Hi Gupta ji,
There is an email address mentioned in end of this thread by someone mentioning about creating an owners group…. please mail your details to the email id. And also you can ask them to add you to watsapp group, if you are interested…..
Hi All,
Got update that first batch of apartment will be released for possession on Mid Jan 2016.
Regards
Yes I got a confirmation too in this regard.
I am planning to buy 1469 ( Corner flat) but price comes to more than 85 lacks is it really worth to buy this property ???
Hi Rajiv,
Did you buy the flat ?
I have bought a flat at 89 L + registration on a higher floor same area.
Yes quoting the same price for me also
Hi Rajiv, it depends on what are you looking for?
Investment or end user….if investment, I am doubtful if any project is good for investor at current time… as real estate progress is slowed down….. if you are looking for living, I think this is good project, as possession date is less than 6 months and no much risk is involved compared to pre launch….
Hi, I booked 2 bhk 🙂
hi live724,
what price did you book .. i also like this property and planning to book a 2BHK

Thanks

Hi All,
I booked an apartement in Arge helios. Vetted the legal papers and found it to be ok.
I donot see much discussion about this project.
What might be the reason?
Regards
hi,
I have seen the model flat and I am happy with the finishing and it looks very premium.
Legal is cleared by Anup Shah and construction is outsourced to Birla.. it looks plus point for me.
Construction speed also looks very promising.
I am interested to buy 2 BHK here. How is hennur road with respect to accessibility to school, pre nursery, crèche, hospital, ATM, grocery and other daily needs etc?
How is the transport facility from BMTC?
Can somebody help me to understand as I am new to Bangalore and do not have much idea on the location.
Thanks
hello live724 ,
hope by now your flat is ready and also by now you must have realized that there is so much difference in finishing ( model flat and your flat) . so are you happy now .. do you think you have made a good decision ..
Glad to know that the builder has upgraded window/shutter frames to UPVC from Anodized aluminium. Have you got any information on this? I could not visit in the recent time, they claim, work progress is also very steady and have also started the block work simultaneously. Could anyone check and share.
Hi Sharma, i know its a late reply and dont know whether u could visit the flat in this time, however i’ve visited yesterday and i could see the actual flat which is in the building with the new specification. Things have changed a bit from what i have seen in the model flat. Windows and doors have been changed. Its of a better quality now. Windows are UPVC. Last time it was aluminum, which i personally did not like. Thank god its changed. Doors are from shobha is what they said. Tile shades are different now. I know Its a personal choice, but I liked it. Work is in good progress..
Regards
Hi,
I recently looked into this project, ans was interested. Can someone share with me the the price that was quoted. And probably anything else I should know about this project.
Email me @
Thanks,
Robins Joy
Robs, quoted price was around 4800 during my purchase. now they have increased the price i guess. Its a good buy if u have liked the choice of your house plan. Good progress also, which gives a confidence to get the delivery on time. You can reach me on .
I have visited the site. liked it . I would like to purchase 2 BHK . how is the legal documents .. approvals… I felt the maint. cost and car parking is bit higher side.
Keshav, legal and approvals are very much in place. I got it vetted through my advocate. U can also do it once and get an opinion from your own lawyer. Maint, i also felt on a higher side. But the builder will maintain only one year i guess. Then the residents association can bring it down a lil bit i feel.
Hi All,
Sorry for not responding earlier. I have created a google group called “Arge Helios” where all apartments owners can connect and discuss.
Please do email me () your name and apartment number and I will send out an invite.

Jasdeep
Hello Jasdeep,
Glad to know that you have created a group. I really appreciate your initiation in this.
Please send me an invite to join the group. ()
I have recently bought a 3bhk.

Hello Jasdeep,
I have book flat in B-block. Can you send me the invitation to :
Hi everyone, where is the owners group? Is it in commonfloor or somewhere?
I would like to be a part of this group. I bought 2 flats for my daughters recently. Project looked very convincing to me because of the legality and the construction pace. Its quite fast.
Hi Harsha, we are contemplating on Helios for a 3BHK unit for end-use. Earlier I took your suggestion on G-Corp Icon, but few things din’t fall into place, hence we backed off.
Now after seeing few more properties in Hennur road, we liked this project a lot. In terms of floor plan,amenities,location,connectivity – I am quite satisfied. My only concern are as below:
1. Arge-Helios is not a pre-launch, it’s already under construction. Do you think it’ll be a good idea to invest here now, considering i assume, we may not get much appreciation here on?
2. We also kept Purva Palm Beach, Premium 3BHK as option. & Since this is in pre-launch, we may get better ROI. But compare to Helios – this will be smaller unit.
3. Also – I am not sure about the payment T&Cs and flexibility for both these builders.
As of now, however it seems Purva will be almost similarly priced, or may be more for the premium units.
So kindly advise your best here.
Thank You.
Hi,
Is there an apartment owners group for Helios? Else I can volunteer to create one. I just picked up an apartment.

Hi,
Can the people who booked please tell me what is the psqft price they booked at? What kind of negotiation is possible on price today? Thanks…
Hi everyone. I have been to this project today and it is very good one. But what I’m concerned is this is very next to Biozeen which is a pharma company. I’m worried that any of their bio waste will cause damage to people living near by.. may be into ground water or air.. just my fear.. can someone help ?
Thanks
Krishna
Krishna, I had the same concern when i bought my house in helios. I have personally visited biozeen to get a clear idea on their nature of function. Biozeen has no bio or chemical wastage as there are no chemical or pharmaceutical production units in this premises. They fabricate equipments required for research laboratories and give training for students and researchers. So we residents need not worry about any such waste disposals near by helios. Hope your have no ambiguity now.
I have booked a flat here. i strongly believe this would be a good investment. Finishes and space inside the flat is pretty good and very impressive i must say. The work is in good progress. Though they have commenced the construction very recently, they have already completed the first level basement. The pace of construction leaves an impression that the completion will be on time.
I had a good interaction with the marketing team. They are not willing to. Come down on the price. I am considering this property and Mantri Lithos. Mantri they are giving a 300/ sqft discount but still the price is 1000 more than Arge Helios. I am looking for investment. Any thoughts on which will be a good bet.
Thanks
Durai
Lithos, it looks like there are more towers to be launched as and when the approvals come in. Helios has all approvals in place and the number of flats coming up is clear. Being investors when we look out for a buyer or tenant, supply in lithos will be more against the demand. Helios will have less supply with more demand and proportionately prices will appreciate and it will be easy for an investor to exit with a good return in hand. Exclusivity is what i see in helios and hoping there will be a very good appreciation in price. They gives a decent Undivided share of land when compared with other projects in the similar range. I feel helios is the better option unless its a bulk investment you are planning Mr Durai.
When we look into a long term investment, this location seems to be very fine. Considering many corporate giants planning their corporate offices and other SEZ, there would be a very good potential for rental returns. I have been to their show flat which is very impressive and made of good quality materials compared to other projects in the vicinity. The rooms were decently sized and very spacious.
I have interacted with Arge Helios and found their project good. The explanation given by their marketing team was very clear. They Also said carpet area will be clearly mentioned on agreement.
they are not charging on carpet area and there advt are misleading in their first project itself….how will they go long way.
As per my conversation with them, they said they will clearly define the carpet area in the agreements which they claim that others don’t mention
all builders are cheating public..lets wait till real estate regulator comes in place..no hurry in booking..
once RER is in place ..prices will drop by 40 %
The Real estate regulatory act is not going to give an impact on the total cost anyways. When the salable area comes down to carpet area, basic price will go up accordingly. Eventually the total price will remain same. In fact the prices might even go up by 20-30% with all the regulations.
Kiran
Even the salt price which had gone up, will never come down in this world we live today. And end of the day nothing comes for free, unless it is charity..!!!! The prices will go up by 40%.!!!!!
Prices may not drop , once regulations are in place , instead will go up further , please don’t be under that impression , otherwise you’ll be buying half the area what you had planned to buy earlier. ..
i do not agree with you ..
There will not be any investors once regulation comes in place..all will buy at the same price point..more over builder can only launch after getting all the approvals..NO PRE LAUNCH..
so pressure will be on the builders to launch the project and get it sold..its not going to be easy…only few builders will exisit..other has to wind up
