KNS Aura

KNS Aura location is at Rampura, on the Hennur-Rampura Road east of Hennur Road, in North Bangalore. Rampura is a village in Bidarahalli Hobli, in the belt between Hennur, Thanisandra and Bagalur that has become the main plotted-layout market on this side of the city. The developer's map places the layout near Bidarahalli, with Budigere Road and the Bangalore-Tirupati highway further east.

Hennur Road is the spine of the area. It runs south-west to Kalyan Nagar and the Outer Ring Road at Hennur, and north to Bagalur and the airport road. The developer's brochure puts Kempegowda International Airport about 40 minutes away. Embassy Manyata Business Park is about 12 km by road, Bagmane Tech Park about 14.5 km and the International Tech Park at Whitefield about 20 km.

Schools are the closest facilities. The brochure lists St. George School at about 1.5 km, Edify World School at Bileshivale about 1.7 km, and Sri Chaitanya Techno School, Prestige International School and The Landmark School at about 2.6 km each. Vision PU College is about 1.5 km away and Garden City University about 9 km.

Hospitals are further. Cratis Hospital is about 6.2 km away, Vitals Hospital about 12 km, Aditya Multi Speciality Hospital about 12.3 km, and the larger Manipal Hospital and Aster CMI at Hebbal about 15 to 16 km. Bhartiya Mall of Bengaluru and Phoenix Mall of Asia are the nearest large malls, both shown on the developer's map towards Thanisandra.

Plotted layouts in this belt are bought as much for the land's future as for building now. Ask what is planned on the adjoining land, how far the nearest bus route and market are, and when the internal roads and utilities will be handed over.

KNS Aura Floor Plans are plot dimensions rather than home layouts, because buyers build their own houses here. The brochure gives the sizes in metres. A 9.14 m x 12.19 m plot is the standard 30x40 ft plot of about 1,200 sq ft, and 9.14 m x 13.72 m is 30x45 ft at about 1,350 sq ft. The 9.14 m x 15.24 m plot is 30x50 ft at about 1,500 sq ft, and 12.19 m x 18.29 m is 40x60 ft at about 2,400 sq ft.

The 20x30 ft sites of about 600 sq ft are marked EWS on the plan. Layouts sanctioned by the BDA reserve a share of sites for economically weaker sections, and those sites often carry eligibility conditions. Ask the developer whether they are open to all buyers before you count on them as the entry price.

A 30x40 ft plot is the standard Bangalore size for a compact two- or three-storey house. A 30x50 ft plot adds a longer garden or a second parking bay, and a 40x60 ft plot gives room for a large family home with setbacks on all sides. The 30x45 ft size, with 18 plots, is a middle option that few layouts in this belt offer.

Before choosing a plot, ask for the building rules inside the layout. They cover the setbacks, the height limit, the permitted floor area and any design guidelines the owners' association will enforce. Also ask whether the plot has a drain, an easement or a utility line crossing it. Use the Download Brochure button for the developer's plot table and plan.

KNS Aura Master Plan is published in the developer's brochure as a BDA-approved layout of 139 plots on 11.5 acres. An early campaign creative said 10 acres, so the brochure figure is the one to check against the sanctioned plan. The plan is marked not to scale, and the brochure notes that the layout is conceptual and may change.

The plot table on the plan gives the mix. There are 20 plots of 30x40 ft, 18 of 30x45 ft, 36 of 30x50 ft and 11 of 40x60 ft, plus five 20x30 ft sites marked EWS. The remaining 49 sites are odd-sized, eight of them EWS, which is usual where a layout meets a road or a boundary at an angle.

Master plan highlights, as planned by the developer

• Land: 11.5 acres, gated, BDA approved
• Plots: 139, from about 600 sq ft to 2,400 sq ft
• Eight parks, numbered 1 to 8 on the plan
• Park 3: outdoor gym, gazebo and seating decks
• Park 6: multipurpose court, volleyball court, amphitheatre with a stage
• Park 7: yoga deck, multipurpose lawn, senior citizen zone, children's play area
• Park 2: paw park and the sewage treatment plant
• Park 5: overhead water tank
• Broad asphalted roads with underground utilities and solar street lights

Note where the sewage treatment plant, the overhead tank and the transformer yard are placed on the plan. Park 2 holds the STP and Park 7 the transformer yard, so plots facing them may be priced lower than plots facing the amphitheatre park. Corner plots and park-facing plots usually carry a premium, so ask how the developer prices them and confirm your plot's dimensions on the sanctioned layout, not the brochure.

KNS Aura Amenities are spread across eight parks inside the layout, as drawn on the developer's master plan, rather than gathered in one clubhouse. The list below is what the brochure shows and may change when the layout is finished.

Sports and fitness

• Outdoor gym
• Multipurpose court
• Volleyball court
• Yoga deck

Community and leisure

• Amphitheatre with a stage
• Multipurpose lawn
• Senior citizen zone
• Children's play area
• Gazebos with seating, seating decks and stone benches
• Paw park

Landscape

• Tree park, tree court and bamboo court
• Lawn mounds and flower garden
• Row tree planting, trellises and layered planting along the edges

Infrastructure

• Broad asphalted roads
• Underground utilities
• Solar-powered street lights
• Sewage treatment plant and overhead water tank
• Gated entry

Some listings mention a clubhouse, a gymnasium and a swimming pool, but the developer's brochure does not show them, so ask whether any are planned before you count on them. In a plotted layout the parks arrive after the roads and utilities. Ask for the timeline for each park, check that the agreement for sale commits to them, and ask what the monthly maintenance charge per plot is expected to be once the owners' association takes over.
