Can one move into Brigade Exotica right away?

Yes. Handover started in December 2017 and every flat has an owner, which means anything offered today is bought from that owner.

What are the apartment sizes at Brigade Exotica?

Expect around 2,990 sq ft in a 3 BHK and around 3,630 sq ft in a 4 BHK, with penthouses of nearly 4,500 sq ft at the top of the towers.

Does Brigade Exotica carry a RERA registration?

None is listed on the state's RERA portal because the project was finished in 2017. A buyer should read the khata, the title chain and the occupancy certificate.

Must a buyer pay GST when purchasing a resale flat here?

A finished home bought from its owner is outside GST. Charges are stamp duty at 5% plus surcharges and a registration fee of 2%, both on the property value.

What is the address of Brigade Exotica?

The location is Aavalahalli, Bengaluru 560049, along Old Madras Road just ahead of Budigere Cross. Whitefield or KR Puram is roughly a 20-minute drive when roads are clear.

Brigade Exotica Resale: Sizes, Costs and Checks (2026)

Two 35-floor towers by Brigade Group, finished and lived in, rise on the eastern side of the city near Budigere Cross. Brigade Exotica has been receiving residents since December 2017, and no flat is left with the builder, so every purchase is now a resale between private parties. This note looks at the neighbourhood, the apartments, the extra costs of a resale and the papers to verify first.

Getting There

The site is in Virgonagar village, Aavalahalli, Bengaluru 560049, on plots 35 and 36/1 P, a short way before Budigere Cross along Old Madras Road. As NH 75, the highway connects the city and KR Puram in the west with Hoskote in the east. Both Whitefield and KR Puram take roughly twenty minutes when traffic is light.

Namma Metro's Purple Line has a station at KR Puram, west of the site, and carries on to Whitefield. A second line, the Blue Line out of Central Silk Board, is still under construction, with no confirmed opening date as of October 2026. Traffic builds at the KR Puram junction and along the highway in the rush hour, so drive it once at office time.

Inside the Development

A 10-acre site holds the two towers, which together contain 454 apartments of three, four and five bedrooms. Having only two buildings on that land leaves most of it open, and a mini forest is the centrepiece of the plan. Positioning of the towers prevents any two homes from facing each other directly.

A 3 BHK covers 2,990 sq ft or so of built-up area and a 4 BHK covers 3,630 sq ft or so. Both towers end in penthouses of nearly 4,500 sq ft.

The development holds a green-building pre-certification. The clubhouse houses a spa and sauna, a gym and a pool, and a room for games including table tennis. Outside are courts (basketball among them), a jogging track, gardens, a party space and play areas for children.

Who Will Enjoy Living Here

Large households that love space, and do not mind a high floor, are the natural fit. Even the smallest layout dwarfs the average flat in the city, and the towers reach 35 floors. Those wishing to move soon, having walked through the real flat first, will find an occupied community that is complete.

Others may be happier elsewhere: anyone watching the budget closely, or hunting for a small flat to let. Families who like low-rise living, or want a fresh booking on a developer payment plan, can look at other projects along the same road.

The Money Side of a Resale

When these homes first went on sale, the price was close to Rs. 5,940 for each sq ft, as the first buyers paid. Treat that as history, not as today's price, because resale quotes now vary by floor, outlook, layout and how well the flat has been kept. Check recent asking prices inside the project before you make an offer.

Buying a finished home from its owner means GST is not charged. Several other costs still apply beyond the agreed price:

Karnataka stamp duty, 5% plus surcharges, on properties valued above Rs. 45 Lakhs.
A registration fee equal to 2% of the value.
A transfer fee, where the owners' association collects one.
Lawyer's fees, and brokerage when an agent is used.
Khata transfer, and new names on the electricity and water connections.

Documents to Read

Completion came in 2017, ahead of the time when most Karnataka schemes entered RERA, and in October 2026 the state portal shows nothing registered for this project. With a completed building, three papers decide matters: the khata, the title chain and the occupancy certificate. A number printed in certain listings is an agent's registration, which tells nothing about the project's approvals.

A title search by a lawyer should begin with the developer's deed to the first buyer and follow every later transfer. An encumbrance certificate spanning the whole period reveals any loan or other charge still recorded on the flat. Lenders also conduct their own legal scrutiny before funding a resale.

Final Checks Before Handing Over an Advance

In a building that is eight years old, both the flat and its paperwork deserve a hard look. Work through these items:

Walk the flat looking for seepage, test the fittings and list repairs that are due.
Gather the sale deeds and the occupancy certificate together with the latest khata and tax receipts.
Obtain an encumbrance certificate, plus a letter from the association showing no dues.
Find out which parking space is assigned and if it passes to the new owner.
Ask the association about lift servicing, the backup power arrangements and the monthly maintenance rate per sq ft.
Make sure interior alterations carried out in the flat were sanctioned.
Set the asking price against recent deals for comparable flats in these two towers.

Across 35 floors, working lifts and dependable backup power count for far more than in a low-rise, so study what the association has recorded about each. Other homes nearby are listed on the Old Madras Road page.
