Research Report on new and upcoming projectsin Bangalore East

Key Favorable Factors for investing in Bangalore East localities:

CONNECTIVITY TO THE IT HUBS, CITY CENTER and AIRPORT QUALITY OF RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS APPRECIATION POTENTIAL

Bangalore is the only city, amongst the top 8 cities of India, where buyers continue to exhibit positivesentiment towards investing in properties, be it apartments, villas or plots. It has witnessed a 17%increment as per a leading publication’s property index. One of the key regions to have witnessedtremendous commercial and residential development in the last few years is Bangalore East. Residentialpockets of Varthur, Brookefields, Kadugudi Road, Whitefield, Old Madras Road, Budigere Cross arewitnessing a supply of large apartment units and gated villa properties and are turning intoBangalore’s fastest-developing micro-markets. The major driver has been IT and ITES relateddevelopment, and its demand for commercial space. The landscape of this region has changeddramatically in the last decade, turning some of these locations into self-sustaining neighborhoods today.According to a recent article in the newspaper, ‘Bangalore witnessed an absorption of 33,988residential units in 2012, of which the lion’s share of 45-50 per cent was seen in Bangalore East.’

Given below is a comparison of average pricing trends across five key development regions inBangalore over the last twelve months. ft2acres believe that property pricing across Bangalore Easthave held steady and are poised for growth as the pricing continues to fit comfortably with the averagehome buyers budget. Many investors view this as an opportunity to buy before the next boom.

Connectivity

The stretch from Vartur upto Hoskote almost has witnessed massive growth in infrastructure in terms ofconnectivity. The ‘signal-free ORR’ stretching all the way from Silk Board junction to Hebbal andlinking Electronic City to Whitefield is the major highlight of the eastern quadrant.

The KIADB Road, Whitefield Main Road and Marathahalli Bridge have been responsible for bringinggrowth to this region. Whitefield, for example, is well connected to the rest of the city via the four-laneWhitefield Road, four-lane Vathur Road, ITPL Road and Old Madras Road.

Budhigere Junction on Old Madras Road, is the other region in this quadrant seeing a lot of newdevelopments. Located 12kms from ITPL, 18kms from CBD and about 40kms from BangaloreInternational Airport, it seems to be the ideal residential location for the upwardly mobile techemployee.

The State government has recently given a go ahead for the construction of a state-of-the-art peripheralring road around Bangalore at a cost of Rs. 5,800 crore. This eight-lane peripheral ring road willconnect Tumkur Road, Hessargatta Road, DB Pura Road, Bellary Road, Hennur Road, Old MadrasRoad, Whitefield Road, Anekal Road, Sarjapur Road and Hosur Road. Land acquisition for this multicrores project is ongoing.

The phase two extension of the Metro from Byappanahalli to Whitefield, with stations in Kundalahalli,ITPL and Kadugodi Industrial Area in between, will link this region to the rest of the city. Whitefieldrailway station, located on the Bangalore-Chennai route, is in the Kadugodi area. The station is slatedto become a junction with a new Whitefield-Kolar line being laid. All this will only further improveconnectivity to this region. Development

Bangalore East is home to many IT Hubs with resident firms like HCL, Accenture, IBM, Capgemini,Tesco, TCS, Society General, GE and SAP etc.

Following the success of the IT hubs in this region, several large retail establishments, educationalinstitutions, healthcare facilities and other varied service providers have established base in this region.Some of the shopping malls and department stores in this area are Big Bazaar, Cosmos Shopping Mall,Hyper City, More, Forum Value Mall, Inorbit, Phoenix Market City and Park Square. Premiumeducational institutes and play schools such as Gopalan National School Ryan International School,Vibgyor, The International School of Bangalore, Indus Valley Residential School, New BaldwinInternational School, Neev, Euro Kids are just some of the options available for children residing inthis area. Some of the best healthcare institutions of the city such as Shankar Eye Hospital, Sai BabaHospital, Vydehi Hospital and Columbia Asia hospital have facilities here. Best of hospitality propertiessuch as Taj Vivanta, Zuri, Marriott, Oakwood Premiere, etc. have already marked their presence in thisneighborhood.

Over the last five years, these substantial infrastructure and social developments have enhanced the landvalue of the region, attracting developers to plan extensive residential projects .

Target Segment and Demand

According to recent studies, the IT and ITeS sectors' bull grip on Bangalore's residential real estatemarket has dramatically loosened over the past five years. The sales contribution from non-IT sectorshas surged past the halfway mark for most city-based developers. For Mantri Developers, non-ITprofessionals contribute 60% of its sales. Likewise for Shriram Properties the revenue contribution ofthe non-IT sectors stands at about 55% now. Five years ago, the revenue contribution from the ITsector stood at 70%, which now stands at around 45%. Sectors such as manufacturing, banking andfinancial services, automobile and aerospace are propelling the growth share of the non-IT segment. Thechanging consumer profile of the city's real estate market, which clocks average residential sales of35,000 units a year, is also reflected in the share of office space absorption by the non-IT sectors.

Previously IT/ITes professionals largely drove demand for residential property in Bangalore Eastlocations, as proximity to work place was a key decision making factor. It is also expected that the ITsector in Bangalore alone will continue to add over 100,000 employees annually over the next fewyears, so this large and affluent segment cannot be ignored. That said, with several high qualityresidential projects on offer from new and brand named developers and vast improvements in the socialinfrastructure, these areas are witnessing renewed interest from buyers from all walks of life.

Homebuyers in Bangalore are opting for well maintained gated communities that provide variousamenities and facilities required for a high quality way of living and breathing space with an enhancedgreen cover. This region continues to be attractive to the NRI community, especially for the high-endapartments and villa units. The depreciation in rupee rate over the last several quarters has ensuredinvestments in the new properties. And given that prices in NCR and Mumbai have sky rocketed andout of reach for many investors, Bangalore also presents a unique investment opportunity for these andother Indian investors.

Pricing Trend and Appreciation Potential

A PE research note, shared by international property consultants Vestian Global, showed that Bangaloreaccounted for five out of a total of nine investor exits in the April to September period, giving them anaverage internal rate of return (IRR) of 23.5%. Interestingly, all exits pertained to residentialdevelopments, indicating a stable end user driven market in Bangalore.

Some of the new properties launched in Bangalore East have already sold out 35%-60% units withinsix months of launch. This shows demand and propensity to consume. The demand and supply

equilibrium indicates steady price growth and rental returns. This will only lead to an increase in theend user occupation of new projects, which meanwhile provides an attractive investing opportunity toindividuals. Some of the under construction projects in this vicinity have seen rates increase by 10% to48% since launch. Just to give an example, Prestige Tranquility was pre-launched in December 2011 atRs. 2600 per sq ft is now selling at Rs. 4000 per sq ft. That is a 48% jump in price over 24 months.Pashmina Waterfront, located on Old Madras Road, was pre-launched in June 2012 at Rs. 2950 per sqft and is now selling at Rs 4400 per sq ft, an increment of almost 50% in 1.5 years. It is expected thatthe average annual capital appreciation in this region will be around 13 per cent for the next 3-5 years,while the average yield on rental rate is expected to hover around 4%-6%.

Upcoming Projects

The upcoming projects offer residential units of all categories suiting various budgets giving the buyer a variety of options to choose from thus meeting various ticket sizes. Premium villas to one bedroom and studio apartments, there is something for everyone. The average entry price today at Rs. 4100 per sq ft is slightly higher as compared to some of the other locations in South Bangalore, however one can expect a good return on investment in 36-48 months.

We at ft2acres have highlighted ten key new and under construction projects for your quick referenceand highlighted our recommendation as the showcase project of this region. We have made an effort tocover projects at various budgets and type of dwelling. We have largely chosen to cover projects bybranded developers for the following reasons:

- Projects eventually command a premium price over competition

- Enjoy better liquidity

- Assurance of developer's good track record of transfer of clean title

- Timely project completion

- Safety of booking advance

Note: Rates are indicative of transactions recorded and available for the micro market. Individual properties may witness transactions at higher or lower rates as there are several variables influencing rates. We advise clients to make their own analysis before taking a decision.

Location

The project is located on the Sarjapur-Whitefield Main (SH-35) road at Gunjur, about 2.5kms from theVarthur junction. It is right opposite the Chrysalis High School. It is less than 20 minutes drive to allmajor IT parks in the area. It is also located close to several international schools in the vicinity. It isalso about 4kms away from White field Forum Value Mall, 6.5kms from Wipro corporate office, 4kmsto Sigma Tech Park, 20kms to Electronic City, 8 kms from ITPL and 7 Kms from Outer Ring road.Prime educational institutions within 5 kms range are Greenwood High, Chrysalis High School,Inventure Academy, Global Indian International School, Greenwood High International and IndiaInternational School. Schools within the 10kms radius include Delhi Public School, Ryan International,Euro School and Neev. Hospitals like Vydehi hospital, Whitefield Saibaba hospital, Apollo Hospital,Yashomati, upcoming Columbia Asia hospital, etc. are easily accessible and make this location the mostpreferred area for residents.

The project is accessible by a two-lane road, which is in fairly good condition. Though being a statehighway it is also the route that is utilized by heavy goods vehicles. Future plans by the BDA includewidening this road, as it will be key to providing accessibility to the peripheral road proposed.

The location also has the advantage of being situated close to two lakes thus ensuring that the groundwater table will remain favorable.

There are some smaller projects started by local developers in the vicinity but nothing in the scale andscope of the Prestige Lakeside Habitat. And as such Prestige enjoys a first mover advantage in this area.It is only expected that other branded developers will soon follow suit depending on the landavailability situation.

Appreciation Potential

Bangalore East micro markets have witness real estate price increase due to advantages listed in thereport above. Compared to other projects in Whitefield the pricing of Prestige Lakeside Habitat iscompetitive and according to market conditions. The average price of projects in the immediate vicinityis Rs. 3675/- per square feet. Most of them are still under construction and the highest number of unitson offer in any single project is less than 200. Most of these are low to mid housing projects with noneor few amenities. None of these builders have the experience, professionalism or brand strength parallelto that of the Prestige group.

The average pricing of comparable projects in Bangalore East, including recently launched projects byPrestige, Brigade, Adarsh Developers and Pashmina Developers, is about Rs. 5800/- per square feet. Itis expected that at the time of project completion, the pricing, at minimum, would have escalated to atleast Rs. 6500/- to Rs. 6700/- per square feet, given that Brigade Cosmopolis, located 4.5 kms away ispresently selling at Rs. 6100 per square feet. This will provide investors with a minimum return of 35-40% on completion of the project.

Key factors to consider:

- Exit options in the early stages will be limited due to the size of the project and the number ofapartments on offer.

- Delays in road widening and peripheral road development may limit accessibility initially.- Competitive pricing with bigger upside as compared to other similar projects in Bangalore East

is the biggest advantage offered by this project.- Very few large developments will be possible in this region in the future as there are very few

large land parcels left and prices are escalating rapidly.- Direct connection to Sarjapur and ITPL. Proposed peripheral road is also close by.
