Location & Connectivity
Sobha Royal Crest is on Mysore Road in Banashankari, just behind PES University. It’s a well-established part of South Bangalore rather than a developing fringe, which shows up in the surrounding infrastructure — schools, hospitals, and everyday retail are already in place rather than years away.
The location has decent access to the Kanakapura Road and Mysore Road corridors, and to the NICE Road ring for cutting across the city. It sits further from the Outer Ring Road IT clusters than the newer North and East Bangalore launches, so it suits someone whose commute runs through South Bangalore rather than toward Whitefield or the ORR tech parks.
Project Specifications
- Developer: Sobha Limited
- Land area: 6.33 acres (also quoted as 6.30 acres on one listing — effectively the same figure)
- Total units: 329
- Configuration: multiple towers of 31 floors, organised in wings
- Unit mix: 3 BHK apartments and 4 BHK duplexes, sized from 1,853 sq ft to 3,475 sq ft (carpet area on the smaller end runs roughly 1,238-1,362 sq ft on 3 BHK units, per one listing’s carpet-vs-super-built-up breakdown)
- Launch: June 2022
- Possession: December 2028
Pricing
Sobha’s own site quotes the project starting from Rs 2 crore, while a listing site gives a wider band of Rs 1.76 crore to Rs 3.30 crore spanning the 3 BHK and 4 BHK duplex options; a separate source puts the top end for the largest 4 BHK duplex at closer to Rs 4.93 crore. Given the size range on offer (1,853 to 3,475 sq ft), that spread is plausible rather than contradictory — but it means you should get a size-specific quote rather than anchoring on the headline “starting from” figure.
Amenities
The project is themed around Bangalore’s palace architecture, with turreted facades and a design brief built around that heritage look. Listed amenities include a clubhouse, an amphitheatre, a party lawn, a kids’ pool and a main pool, an arbor park, a play court and playground, a pet park, a jogging path, and an organic garden.
RERA & Compliance
Royal Crest is registered under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/300522/004936, which decodes to a registration date of 30 May 2022 — consistent with the reported June 2022 launch.
A Few Honest Notes
This is now over four years into its construction cycle with possession still more than two years out (December 2028), so ask for a current construction-progress update from the sales office rather than relying on the original launch-era marketing — a project this far along should have visible tower-by-tower progress to show.
The exact tower and floor count isn’t consistently published across sources — you’ll want the tower-wise layout plan before shortlisting a specific unit, since 329 units across 31-floor towers implies a fairly specific tower configuration that isn’t spelled out uniformly online.
Nearby Comparables
Tata Promont Phase 2 in nearby Hosakerehalli (Banashankari) is a directly comparable project in the same micro-market and worth comparing on price per sq ft and amenities.
Verdict
Royal Crest suits a buyer set on established South Bangalore over the newer North/East corridors, and who’s fine with a large-format 3-4 BHK apartment or duplex rather than a compact unit. The location trade-off is real: you’re further from the ORR tech parks, but closer to schools, hospitals, and the kind of settled neighbourhood infrastructure that a brand-new launch on the city’s edges won’t have yet. Given how far into construction this project already is, a site visit to check actual progress against the December 2028 possession date is worth doing before you sign anything.
