Frequently Asked Questions

Everything investors ask before putting money into Koramangala.

Why is Koramangala so expensive?

Blue-chip locality with chronic low supply, highest tenant quality in Bangalore, best-in-class F&B/lifestyle density, and ~15 years of unbroken positive price performance. The premium is structural.

Is Koramangala good for rental income?

Koramangala gives the best tenant quality (VCs, founders, senior execs) and lowest vacancy (~1.5%) in Bangalore, but gross yield is modest at 3.4%. It's a capital-preservation + tenant-quality play, not a cash-yield play.

How much does a 3BHK in Koramangala cost?

3BHKs range ₹2.2-5.5 crore (1,400-2,400 sqft). Premium ready-to-move projects from Prestige, Salarpuria, and Godrej command ₹4-6 crore. Resale builder-floors are typically ₹2-3 crore.

Koramangala vs HSR Layout?

Koramangala edges ahead on cultural density, aspiration, and capital preservation. HSR wins on planned roads, newer apartment stock, and higher expected CAGR. For blue-chip NRI holding, Koramangala is the default.

Are there new apartment launches in Koramangala?

Very few — Koramangala has only 18 active apartment projects. Most new supply is redevelopment or boutique builder-floors. Wait-lists for premium launches (Prestige, Godrej, Sobha) are common.
