Brigade Lakecrest, Battarahalli (Old Madras Road)

Brigade Lakecrest Review

Location & Connectivity

Brigade Lakecrest is at #166, Old Madras Road, Sannatammanahalli, Battarahalli Hobli, Bengaluru 560049 — set beside Bhattarahalli Lake, near the Pashmina Waterfront landmark.

  • Battarahalli bus stop is about 500 m away
  • K.R. Puram Metro Station is roughly 7 km
  • Kempegowda International Airport is around 30 km, about 45 minutes depending on traffic
  • Old Madras Road and Whitefield Main Road both run past the project, giving reasonably direct access to Whitefield, ITPL, Bagmane Tech Park and Indiranagar without needing to cross the Silk Board corridor

Project Specifications

  • Developer: Brigade Group
  • Land area: ~7 acres (28,024 sq m per the approved plan, which works out to about 6.9 acres — different listings round this slightly differently)
  • Configuration: 4 towers, 21 floors above 2 basement levels, roughly 65.85 m in height, approved FAR of 3.25
  • 604 apartments across Studio, 1 BHK, 2 BHK, 2 BHK+Study, 3 BHK and 3 BHK+Maid’s Room/Home Office formats
  • Sizes: listings disagree noticeably here — one set of sources quotes 482 to 2,179 sq ft, another quotes 323 to 1,410 sq ft for what’s described as the same unit range. That’s too wide a gap to just be measurement convention; confirm the exact carpet area for whichever configuration you’re looking at directly with the sales office rather than trusting either aggregator figure blindly.

Pricing

Prices start from around Rs 59 lakh for the smallest studio units. No consistent per-sqft rate or top-end price for the larger 3 BHK+Home Office units was available across sources — worth asking for a full cost sheet before comparing this project against others in the corridor.

Amenities

  • Swimming pool and kids’ pool
  • Tennis court, half basketball court, squash court, box cricket
  • Outdoor gym, skating area, table tennis
  • Community garden, pets park
  • Clubhouse, amphitheatre, landscaped gardens, gymnasium, party hall
  • Multi-sports courts and children’s play area

RERA & Compliance

Registered under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/240625/007866, decoding to 24 June 2025 — in line with the reported construction start of 1 July 2025. Possession is targeted for 31 March 2030.

A Few Honest Notes

This is a compact site (under 7 acres) packing in 604 units across just 4 towers, which is a dense layout by Bangalore high-rise standards — expect a fuller clubhouse and less green buffer between blocks than you’d get on a larger campus. The lake-facing pitch is real (Bhattarahalli Lake is right there), but lake views in Bangalore projects can vary a lot by exact unit and floor, so don’t assume every apartment gets one. The unit-size discrepancy across listings is significant enough that it’s worth resolving before you get attached to a specific configuration.

Nearby Comparables

This stretch of Old Madras Road/Battarahalli has had steady development activity given its position between Whitefield and the older parts of East Bangalore. UKN Interlaken in nearby Doddanekkundi and Ramky One Carnival, both already covered on this site, are useful comparables if you’re weighing Lakecrest’s smaller-format studio/1BHK options against other East Bangalore options in the same price band.

Verdict

Lakecrest is aimed at buyers who want a compact, amenity-packed project close to Whitefield’s job corridor without paying Whitefield’s premium pricing — the Rs 59 lakh starting point for a studio is genuinely accessible for the area. The trade-off is density: 604 units on a sub-7-acre site means this will feel more like a vertical, tightly-packed development than a sprawling township. Anyone specifically drawn in by lake-facing marketing should confirm which units actually get that view before booking, and everyone should nail down the real carpet-area figures given how much the listings disagree on unit sizes.

Add a comment

“In 2009 I was in search of a property. Before I could finalize one, I had so many questions: was the location right? could I rely on the builder? was the price quoted the same for everyone? what should I know before I issue the cheque? — and many more questions that kept coming to mind. With no platform, I started harshasagar.com to help myself out. 15 years later, these questions still come to me whenever I think about buying another property. There’s no shortage of platforms today — social media, WhatsApp, and more. But if you’ve still got a question or something to share, this place is still here for you.”— Harsha Sagar, founder
