Skandaavani Spirit of One is a small luxury villa development in Varthur, East Bangalore, built by Skandaavani (Skanda Avani Shelters). The original block of villas here was completed back in December 2022, and what’s currently on sale is a second, separately RERA-registered release of 24 villas on an adjoining pocket of the same site. If you’re looking at this project today, it’s this Phase 2 release you’ll actually be buying into, not the original 2022 block.
Location & Connectivity
The project sits off Varthur Road in the Balagere/Varthur belt of East Bangalore, a stretch that’s grown up around its proximity to Whitefield, Marathahalli and the Outer Ring Road IT corridor. It’s in the same general neighbourhood as large established communities like Prestige Lakeside Habitat and Sobha Dream Acres, which gives a reasonable sense of the area’s maturity — social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, retail) here is well ahead of newer, more peripheral corridors, though traffic on Varthur Road at peak hours is a genuine and well-documented downside worth factoring in.
Project Specifications
- Developer: Skandaavani (Skanda Avani Shelters Pvt Ltd)
- Location: Balagere, Varthur, East Bangalore
- Land area (Phase 2): approximately 1.37 acres
- Configuration: 24 villas, all 4 BHK
- Unit sizes: reported carpet area around 2,320 sq ft, with built-up/super-built-up figures cited up to roughly 3,220 sq ft depending on which convention a given listing uses — confirm which figure you’re being quoted before comparing it to other projects
- Possession: targeted for late 2029 (one listing gives July 2029, another gives December 2029 — treat this as “second half of 2029” until the builder confirms an exact date)
This is a genuinely small release — 24 villas on just over an acre — so it reads more like a boutique infill project than a full gated township. Don’t expect the scale of amenities or open space you’d get from a 10+ acre development in the same price band.
Pricing
Listings for this phase aren’t fully aligned on the starting price: one source quotes Rs 3.45 crore onwards for the smaller-sized units, while another cites a starting figure closer to Rs 3.88 crore. The gap is plausibly explained by different unit sizes within the 24-villa release rather than a genuine pricing error, but it’s still a big enough spread (roughly Rs 40 lakh) that you should get a unit-specific quote rather than budgeting off either number in isolation.
Amenities
Amenities reported for the development include a clubhouse, swimming pool with a separate kids’ pool, gymnasium, badminton and cricket facilities, yoga areas, a library, a business centre, a café, a party hall, and landscaped green space (reported at roughly 45-55% of the plot). As with a project this size, it’s worth confirming with the sales office whether Phase 2 villa owners get access to the original block’s clubhouse and amenities or whether a separate, smaller set is being built for this release specifically.
RERA & Compliance
This phase carries its own Karnataka RERA registration, distinct from the original 2022 block: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/270125/007436, registered 27 January 2025. That’s a genuine, separate filing rather than a recycled or misattributed number, and it’s consistent across the independent listings checked for this article. The original Spirit of One block (the one that’s already delivered) carries its own earlier registration and shouldn’t be confused with this one — if you’re being shown a brochure or price sheet, make sure the RERA number on it matches 007436, not the older filing.
Nearby Comparables
For a sense of the surrounding market, it’s worth looking at Sobha Ayana (Panathur, part of the Dream Acres cluster) and Sobha Dream Acres itself, both a short distance away and both already-established options in the same general Varthur-Panathur-Whitefield belt. Prestige Lakeside Habitat, further down Varthur Road, is another useful reference point for how this micro-market’s pricing and infrastructure have evolved over time.
A Few Honest Notes
The base numbers here — unit count, RERA registration, and general location — hold up across the sources checked for this piece. Where it gets less tidy is pricing and exact unit sizing, which vary enough between listings that this reads like a case of different villas within the same 24-unit release being quoted differently, rather than any one source being simply wrong. It’s also a small enough project that public information on it is thinner than you’d find for a larger launch, so a site visit and a direct conversation with the sales team will do more for your decision-making here than comparing online listings against each other.
Verdict
This suits a buyer specifically looking for a low-density, boutique villa product in an established part of East Bangalore rather than a large gated township — you’re trading scale and amenity variety for a smaller, quieter development in a well-connected location. Given the roughly Rs 40 lakh spread in quoted starting prices, get a firm, unit-specific price and confirm which villa’s size figures you’re actually being shown before you commit to anything.
