ARATT Alchemy One, Old Madras Road: What a Buyer Should Know (October 2026)
East Bangalore has plenty of finished flats, but few come in a compact one-tower community. ARATT Alchemy One is that kind of project, built by ARATT Developers beside Old Madras Road. This guide explains the layout options, the money involved, the papers a buyer should demand and the final checks to run before signing.
The Project Summarised
The key facts fit in one table.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Builder | ARATT Developers |
| Address | Survey No. 36/1, pin code 560049, with Brigade Exotica as the neighbour |
| Plot size | 1.3 acres |
| Building | A single 23-floor tower holding 162 homes |
| Stage | Finished, with handover on offer since December 2025 |
| Cheapest home | Rs. 94.1 Lakhs, a 2 BHK |
The builder marked completion with an inauguration in July 2026. The tower opens a series called Alchemy, whose other members are Elixir at Electronic City and Essence around Hennur.
Plans, Sizes and Rates
Three plans are on offer, all quoted on built-up area. The smallest, a 2 BHK, gives 951 sq ft for a price starting at Rs. 94.1 Lakhs. The 3 BHK pair gets 1,460 sq ft in one plan and 1,482 sq ft in the other, opening at Rs. 144 Lakhs and Rs. 146 Lakhs.
Spread over the built-up area, each plan costs close to Rs. 9,900 for every sq ft. Because the building has 23 floors, an upper level or a better aspect adds to the price of any plan, which is why a unit-by-unit rate card is worth asking for.
Money Beyond the Base Price
A finished flat with an occupancy certificate in hand is sold without GST, a real saving over a flat still being built. Registration of 2% and stamp duty of 5%, with surcharges added, are still due, since the value is above Rs. 45 Lakhs.
Ask for the extras to be spelled out on paper. It should itemise premiums for floor rise and facing, the parking bays included, clubhouse membership and the corpus fund, and the maintenance paid up front along with the monthly rate. Deposits for electricity, water and gas come next. Stamp duty and registration apply to the entire sale value, not only the base price.
Who Will Be Comfortable Here
People who prefer to move in now rather than wait three or four years for a build will like a ready tower. Dual-income couples and small households whose budget runs between Rs. 95 Lakhs and Rs. 150 Lakhs, and who commute to Whitefield, Indiranagar or KR Puram, are the best match. A single clubhouse for 162 households also suits people who like a small community.
Anyone after a multi-tower township, a four-bedroom home or a low-rise layout should look at other formats on this stretch. In one tower, upkeep is shared by fewer homes, so ask about the monthly maintenance early.
Surroundings and Commute
The project borders Old Madras Road, the arterial that heads east towards Hoskote, and its neighbour is Brigade Exotica. Stores, classrooms and clinics along the road and at KR Puram are open today, so nobody has to wait for future growth. For more on the area, see the page on this locality.
From here residents go to KR Puram for rail and metro, to Whitefield for offices, to Indiranagar towards the centre, to the Outer Ring Road offices at Marathahalli, and up north to the airport. The road is jammed at peak times, so make the trip to your workplace at your usual hour before you decide.
Inside the Compound
More than 25 amenities cluster around a clubhouse planned on a concierge-living theme. A slim tower footprint frees space for pools, courts and gardens, and ground-floor shops cover quick errands.
Indoors, expect a gym, an indoor games room, shared work desks, a business lounge and a library. Outside you will find a lap pool for adults, a shallow pool for toddlers, a yoga deck and a jogging loop. There are also a multipurpose court, play areas for children, landscaped gardens, an amphitheatre and a party space. Utilities include water and sewage treatment plants, a converter for organic waste, and piped gas, all of which help keep costs steady for one tower.
Documents to Ask For
A finished flat changes hands through a registered sale deed, so the papers carry the deal. Request these from the builder before making a booking payment.
- Occupancy certificate for the whole tower
- Sanctioned building plan, with your unit marked on it
- Title papers, along with an encumbrance certificate for the survey number
- The builder's khata and the most recent property tax receipt
- The project's RERA number, matched against the state's portal
- A draft of the deed and the owners' association documents
Once the deal is registered, the khata moves to the new owner and tax is counted from the day of the deed. Banks require this same set when they lend.
About the Builder
The firm behind the tower, ARATT Developers, is a Bangalore firm that has delivered apartments in different localities. The Alchemy name began on this road and has since reached Electronic City and Hennur. Seeing a completed ARATT tower in person shows how well finishes and shared spaces hold up.
Last Steps Before Booking
Possession is no longer in doubt, though inspection still matters.
- Examine your chosen flat for finish quality, damp patches and fittings before settling on a price
- Learn which homes front the carriageway and which look inward, since noise varies with the side and the level
- Get the carpet area in writing
- Count the lifts and watch how the entrance joins the road in rush hour
- Ask what the monthly maintenance covers
More homes for sale along Old Madras Road make useful comparisons. The sales team can share the current price sheet and the units still open.
