Location & Connectivity
Over the Rainbow sits at Chikkasagarahalli, at the foothills of Nandi Hills, on the North Bangalore side of the Devanahalli-Chikkaballapur belt — roughly 26 km from Kempegowda International Airport. This is a distinctly different kind of address from Total Environment’s other, denser Bangalore projects: it’s a low-density, hill-adjacent pocket rather than an IT-corridor micro-market, and it’s aimed squarely at buyers who want distance from the city rather than proximity to an office park.
What’s nearby
- Nandi Hills — a short drive away, the defining landmark of the area
- Devanahalli and Bellary Road (NH7) — the main link back into the city and to the airport
- Aerospace Park SEZ and the Yelahanka/Chikkaballapur industrial belt
The trade-off is straightforward: this is a weekend-home/low-density-living pitch, not a daily-commute one. Anyone buying here for regular use in the city should be realistic about the drive time back into central Bangalore.
Project Specifications
- Builder: Total Environment
- Land area: 8.8 acres (Phase 1)
- Total villas: 33
- Configuration: 3 BHK earth-sheltered villas, built in a stepped formation designed to follow the natural terrain
- Unit size: 3,000 sq ft built-up area, each villa on its own 6,000 sq ft plot
The “earth-sheltered” design and stepped layout are Total Environment’s signature approach at this project — villas are built into the slope rather than flattening the site, which is consistent with the brand’s other nature-led projects elsewhere in Bangalore.
Pricing
One listing quotes a starting price of around Rs 7.14 crore for the 3,000 sq ft villa, while the builder’s own project page lists pricing as “on request.” Given the low unit count and the custom, low-density nature of this project, treat any headline price as an indicative starting figure and get a current quote directly from the sales team rather than relying on either number.
Amenities
- Two private gardens per villa, one with its own deck
- Private swimming pool for each villa, plus a separate outdoor community pool and pool deck
- Kids’ plunge pool and play area, indoor games zone, music room, art wall, lounge
- Multipurpose hall, reading area, meeting rooms, café, experience centre
- Squash court, jogging track, 12-metre-wide internal driveways
- Home automation, 24/7 security and CCTV, power backup, rainwater harvesting and a sewage treatment plant
RERA & Compliance
Over the Rainbow carries Karnataka RERA registration number PRM/KA/RERA/1254/460/PR/240424/006832, which decodes to a registration date of 24 April 2024 — in line with the project’s own reported May 2024 launch. This number and the core acreage/unit-count figures above are confirmed on the builder’s own project page as well as independently on a portal listing.
One aggregator’s page for this project instead shows an entirely different-format RERA number that doesn’t match the standard project-registration pattern used elsewhere on genuine Karnataka RERA filings — this looks like a data artifact on that particular listing rather than a real second registration, and the number from the builder’s own site is the one to go by.
Possession is quoted as December 2027 on one listing, while an earlier industry summary suggested a later 2030 completion — worth confirming the current construction timeline directly with the sales office given the gap.
A Few Honest Notes
This is a small, 33-villa project, which means limited inventory and correspondingly little room to negotiate on unit choice once the popular plots are booked. The earth-sheltered, hillside-adjacent design is unusual and part of the appeal, but it’s also a more specialised build than a standard villa layout — worth asking specifically how the sunken/stepped construction handles monsoon drainage and long-term maintenance, since that’s a less common concern with conventional villas.
Price information is thin and inconsistent across sources for a project at this price point, so this is one where getting a written, current quote before making any decisions matters more than usual.
Nearby Comparables
- Century Trails, Devanahalli — already covered on this site, in the same broader North Bangalore/Devanahalli corridor, useful for comparing plotted/villa pricing in the wider region.
- Brigade Oasis Phase 3, Devanahalli — another North Bangalore project already covered here, though at a different density and price point than this villa community.
Verdict
This suits a buyer looking for a low-density, hillside second home or long-term villa near Nandi Hills rather than a primary residence tied to a daily commute into the city. The earth-sheltered design and small villa count make it a niche product, not a mass-market launch — that’s part of the appeal for the right buyer, but it also means less price transparency and fewer comparable resales to benchmark against. Get a firm, current price quote and a clear construction timeline in writing before committing, given how much the available listings disagree on both.
