Mana Cresta

Mana Cresta is a residential apartment project by Mana Projects at Chikkanayakanahalli, just off Sarjapur Road in East Bangalore. It carries Karnataka RERA registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/161224/007303, which decodes to a 16 December 2024 registration date — this matches both the builder’s own site and an independent listing platform, and also lines up with the project’s public launch announcement in mid-to-late December 2024. One older search result surfaced a different-looking RERA number for a project of the same name, but the two sources that go into the most direct detail on this specific site both converge on 007303, so that’s the number to go with.

Location & Connectivity

The site is at Chikkanayakanahalli, off Sarjapur Road, close to Primus Public School and within a few kilometres of the IT parks along the Sarjapur-Marathahalli-ORR belt (sources put the nearest tech parks at roughly 4-7.5 km away). This is well inside the established Sarjapur Road catchment that’s been a steady IT-crowd draw for over a decade now — reasonably good social infrastructure (schools, hospitals, retail) compared to newer peripheral corridors, though Sarjapur Road’s traffic during peak hours is a known, long-standing issue that isn’t specific to this project.

Project Specifications

  • Land area: 2.45 acres
  • Configuration: 4 towers, 8 floors each, 6 apartments per floor — a boutique-scale layout rather than a mega-township
  • Total units: 180
  • Unit types: 2 BHK (around 838 sq ft carpet), 2.5 BHK (around 887 sq ft carpet) and 3 BHK (1,000-1,100 sq ft carpet) — though the builder’s own marketing emphasises the 3 BHK line, so confirm which configurations are actually open for booking in your preferred tower before assuming all three are available everywhere.
  • Possession: targeted for December 2028

Pricing

Listed prices for this project vary more than usual across sources — anywhere from roughly Rs 1.23 crore up to Rs 1.83 crore depending on when and where the quote was pulled, with the builder’s own site currently citing “Rs 1.64 crore onwards.” That’s a wider spread than a rounding difference would explain, and likely reflects a mix of early-launch pricing versus current rates as the project has moved along — a reminder to get a dated, current price sheet directly from the sales office rather than relying on whatever figure a search turns up first.

Amenities

For a 2.45-acre, 180-unit project, the amenity list is fairly full: a clubhouse with indoor games, gym, swimming pool, a basketball court, a yoga pavilion, a café and spa/salon space, a multipurpose hall, jogging track, reading zone, landscaped “tree court” and social-pod seating areas. The developer also flags solar power provisioning and EV-charging readiness. The architecture is marketed around a curved, “fluid” facade design with wide balconies, which is a reasonably distinct look compared to the boxier towers common in this price band.

RERA & Compliance

Registration number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/161224/007303 checks out on both the builder’s own project page and an independent listing site, with a consistent 180-unit, 2.45-acre, 4-tower description on both. The December 2028 possession date is also consistent across both of those sources. As noted above, one earlier search turned up a different RERA-format number attributed to a project of the same name — worth flagging to the sales office directly if you want to rule that out entirely before booking, even though the weight of evidence points to 007303 being correct.

A Few Honest Notes

This is a small, boutique project by unit count (180 units across 4 towers) rather than a large township, which suits buyers who want a quieter, lower-density building over sheer amenity scale — but it also means less room for negotiation-driven inventory and a shorter runway before units sell out compared to a 1,000+ unit launch. The price-spread issue above is the main thing worth chasing down before you commit: get the current, dated price list rather than working off an older quoted figure. Mana Projects has been operating in Bangalore since 2009 with a reasonable back-catalogue of delivered projects in the city, which helps on execution-risk grounds for a builder that isn’t one of the very largest names in the market.

Verdict

Mana Cresta suits a buyer who wants a compact, well-located Sarjapur Road address without the scale (and traffic-inside-the-project feel) of a 1,000-plus-unit development, and who’s comfortable with a mid-2020s builder rather than one of the big legacy names. It’s not the project for anyone chasing the lowest possible entry price in this corridor — nail down current pricing directly with the sales office given how much the quoted numbers have moved across sources — and the 2 BHK/2.5 BHK availability is worth double-checking given the builder’s own site leans hard on the 3 BHK story.

Nearby comparables

Buyers shortlisting this stretch of Sarjapur Road should also look at Mana Verdant Terraces, the same builder’s other project a little further along the Sarjapur-Varthur corridor, as well as Purva Meraki and Godrej Splendour — both already covered on this site and both sitting within a reasonable drive of Chikkanayakanahalli, giving a useful spread of builder track records and price points to compare against.

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
