Bangalore’s CBD (central business districts) has traditionally been the ideal location of choice for luxury property investors. Century's Renata, Prestige's Edwardian, Brigade's Rhapsody and Crescent - Nitesh Estates' Logos are some of the luxury projects gracing the Central Business Districts of Bangalore. Along with the CBD, Whitefield, Devanahalli and North Bangalore have also emerged as the perfect locations for premium projects, on account of the on-going infrastructure developments and the establishment of Bangalore International Airport.
Luxury/premium home developers in the city have a penchant to think on their feet. By constantly reinventing their offerings and serving something new to the platter every time, realtors in Bangalore have set a benchmark for themselves. From lavish landscaping to golf courses in the backyard, the luxury segment of Bangalore’s realty sector has created a niche for itself in the real estate market.
On a quarterly basis, Bangalore report sales close to 100 luxury home, where as Mumbai and NCR see only around a dozen such sales. :( :( . The demand for luxury homes subdued across all the metros over three to four financial quarters but again it has gained the momentum in past 60 days. :) :)
Being the third-biggest real estate hub for HNIs, Bangalore has witnessed a huge influx of investment from NRIs looking to re-settle in India. As per JLL (property consultants), Bangalore is estimated to home more than 10000 millionaires in the days to come. This will fuel the demand for luxury units in the city significantly.
I completely agree with you but what I feel is that the another reason for Bangalore to top the list is the price of the luxury homes in Bangalore are far more reasonable and realistic than Delhi NCR and Mumbai. :)
The price per sqft going on in premium localities in Bangalore ranges from Rs 9000 to Rs 12,000 per sqft. No other posh areas of other major Indian cities offer such prices in the luxury segment.
According to JLL's report, Bangalore tops the list for luxury homes. Luxury homes in Bangalore priced above Rs 5 crores. The report says, that quality of construction, amenities, floor plan, design, ventilation, floor to ceiling heights, configuration and building elevation are the key factors that is fueling Bangalore to top the list.
Yes there are disadvantages of a super luxury apartments.
1) Absence of good and quality labour is one of the rising concerns for the builders community in Bangalore. A special kind of building material is used to construct high-end living spaces, in order to give them an aesthetic touch. In Bangalore, there is a dearth of such type of material which developers need to make quality homes.
2) The heavy maintenance price of the luxury apartments often takes a toll on the finances of the investors. On an average, the maintenance cost for luxury apartments can climb up to Rs 35000- Rs 40000 per month, which includes charges for gardeners, security personnel, garbage cleaners, water body maintenance crew, 24-hours cleaners and sweepers etc.
3) To reside in luxury apartments, the domestic staff needs to be paid accordingly. Domestic staff includes maids, cooks, plumbers, carpet and sofa cleaners, electricians and other housekeeping personnel. Services provided by such staff comes at a high price, for instance, changing a bulb by an electrician can cost up to Rs 250 per visit and can go up by Rs 350-Rs 400, if its a fancy bulb. The high charges asked by the housekeeping members often makes residing in a luxury home extremely difficult.
Along with Yemlur, Whitefield, Marathahalli and Bellandur have cropped up as the potential high-end areas in the east. High-end homes in the area range between Rs 7500-Rs 8500 per sq ft, while in Indiranagar a luxurious enclave would somewhat value in between Rs 10000- Rs 15000, because of limited supply. Proximity to CBD, developer’s brand and amenities offered in the project also play a key role in determining the price range for high-end units.
Traditionally, the Old Airport Road and Old Madras Road in the east defined connectivity in the region, however, with the completion of the ORR (in 2002) accessibility to Whitefield became much easier. With the completion of the Metrorail extension of the M G Road-Byappanahalli line to Whitefield, connectivity and residential development in the region will get a further boost

In addition to it, proximity to the EPIP zone (that includes the BFSI and IT/ITes sectors) makes Varthur road, ITPL main road and Brookfields as the favorable areas for high-end projects.
