Assetz Earth & Essence, Hosahalli: Buyer's Guide to the Row Houses (October 2026)

Families hunting for a roomy row house in North Bangalore will hear about Assetz Earth & Essence, a finished neighbourhood put up by Assetz Property close to Yelahanka. The row houses in both of its phases have already found owners, so a purchase today is second-hand. The guide below looks at who the community suits, how the land is divided, house types, facilities, approvals and the paperwork to verify.

Who It Suits

Households that want a big house with a private entrance and terrace, among neighbours they can get to know, are the natural fit. The airport-side location helps frequent flyers and those employed near the aerospace park, in Hebbal or in Yelahanka. With construction over, each room can be inspected before any money changes hands.

Buyers who prefer the builder's warranty and a payment schedule linked to construction are better off with new launches. A resale asks for the whole price on registration, which usually means a loan sorted out beforehand.

Dividing Up the 25 Acres

Karnataka RERA lists the community as four projects, all registered to Assetz Premium Holdings. The plotted parts take the greater share: 94 plots over 9.39 acres, then 52 plots over 5.70 acres in the second phase.

Row houses fill the rest. Phase 1A has 45 houses over 5.36 acres, and Phase 1B has 22 houses of four and five bedrooms over 2.85 acres. In all, the community offers 67 houses and 146 plots. Phase 1B houses have three levels and two covered parking spaces each.

Finding the Site

The address is Yelahanka Taluk, Jala Hobli, Hosahalli Village (PIN 562157), and Phase 1A uses survey numbers 8/1, 16/2 and 17. The land is a short distance off the eastern side of Bellary Road (NH 44), a little north of the Yelahanka Air Force Station, with Kempegowda International Airport further along that highway.

Journeys go along Bellary Road: southwards via Yelahanka to reach the Outer Ring Road by way of Hebbal, northwards to the airport. A Blue Line metro extension to the airport is being built on the same corridor. Yelahanka and the highway hold the schools, hospitals and bigger stores, so a car handles most errands.

House Types

Row houses are on offer with three, four or five bedrooms. In built-up terms they measure approximately 3,027 sq ft, 3,308 sq ft and 4,125 sq ft, in that order. Carpet area is lower, as it leaves out the walls, terraces and shared parts.

The registered carpet areas in Phase 1B convert as follows:

• 14 four-bedroom houses, with carpet areas between 2,606 and 2,685 sq ft
• 8 five-bedroom houses, with carpet areas between 3,349 and 3,369 sq ft

Phase 1B has three blocks with five, nine and eight houses, and each block is 13 m tall. A row house has side walls in common with the house next door, unlike a detached villa. The seller should produce the floor plan and the surveyed area of the specific house.

The Earth Club and Other Facilities

Shared life revolves around the Earth Club, which extends over about 1.5 acres. It brings together:

• Swimming pool and gym
• Racket courts for tennis and badminton, half-court basketball and a futsal ground
• A lounge, party area and multipurpose hall
• A children's zone with a treehouse and a zipline
• A working organic farm with a place for farmers' markets
• Shops, including a supermarket, inside the gates

A landscaped central space of roughly 13,000 sq ft serves for play and rest. Because residents already live here, a site visit shows how well the facilities are kept. What that upkeep costs shows in the monthly maintenance bill and the association's books.

Timeline of Approvals

The airport-area planning authority, BIAAPA, approved the plans. The registrations came in this order:

• June 2018: Phase 1A goes on record on 21 June, and its completion date is later pushed to 30 April 2024
• August 2020: first plotted phase registered, and a completion application follows in May 2024
• October 2021: second plotted phase registered, and it too files for completion in May 2024
• May 2022: Phase 1B goes on record on 7 May, and its completion application goes in during December 2024

The two plot registrations are numbered PR/200811/003538 and PR/211027/004375. Phase 1A started at 55 row houses; a plan revision cleared in December 2021 trimmed that to 45. Sales of all houses in both row house phases were complete when completion was filed.

What a Second-Hand Purchase Costs

Owner and buyer settle the price between themselves, and it shifts with the size of the house, where it falls in the row, and the interior work. Registered resales inside the community are the best yardstick, so look at current offers of houses and plots before bidding.

These expenses come alongside the price:

• Stamp duty of 5%, becoming 5.6% after cess and surcharge, plus registration at 2%
• Any transfer fee the association charges under its bye-laws
• Legal fees for checking title and preparing the deed
• Repairs and interior changes

GST does not apply when an owner sells a finished house. The EMI calculator converts a price into a monthly instalment and the upfront cash required.

Who Built and Designed It

Assetz Property builds in Bangalore's northern, eastern and southern parts, with northern apartments near Yelahanka and Devanahalli. Architecture RED, a Chennai practice, drew up the row houses.

Paperwork Before Signing

A resale demands as much scrutiny of the seller's right to sell as of the builder's permissions. Gather these documents:

• An occupancy certificate covering the block that houses the home
• The seller's purchase deed, registered, from Assetz Premium Holdings, plus the agreement that preceded it
• The latest property tax receipt, and a khata in the seller's name
• An encumbrance certificate for the whole period since the first sale
• A letter closing any loan, if the home was mortgaged
• Written confirmation from the owners' association that nothing is due
• An engineer's check on terrace, walls, plumbing and damp

The deed should show a phase and house number that tally with the RERA entry. To arrange a visit, or to weigh the house against villas and row houses elsewhere in North Bangalore, contact our team.
