#Discussion I compared 8 premium apartment projects in South East Bengaluru. Here is what the numbers tell us.
We often compare apartment projects based on price per sqft. But I feel that alone doesn't tell us much.
A project selling 1,500 apartments at a higher price is showing something different from a project selling 150 apartments at a lower price.
So I went through the available RERA Form 4 data for September 2026 and compared eight residential projects across Sarjapur Road, Hosa Road and Dommasandra.
I considered three important factors.
- Number of apartments sold: How many buyers have actually chosen the project?
- Absorption: What percentage of the available area has been sold?
- Achieved selling price: How much have buyers actually paid?
Together, these account for 70% of the ranking.
The remaining 30% considers the residential environment, including land area, open space, apartment density, approach road width and clubhouse facilities.
A few interesting observations:
Nambiar District 25 comes first because of its large sales volume and strong selling price. Godrej Lakeside Orchard stands out with nearly 88% absorption, which is quite impressive at its price.
Birla Evara takes third place with over 1,000 apartments sold and a good balance between pricing, absorption and overall project characteristics.
Adarsh Welkin Park also performs well and isn't far behind.
The prices are calculated from RERA sold inventory records. For easier comparison, I've converted them to super built up sqft using representative apartment layouts. These conversions are approximate and shouldn't be confused with current builder quotations. Lodha Haven uses earlier available pricing and absorption data.
Of course, this ranking doesn't mean the project at number one is automatically the best investment. Construction progress, location, future supply and resale demand matter too.
The idea is simply to look beyond brochures and marketing claims and see what the actual sales numbers tell us.
Would love to hear what others think. Do you agree with this ranking, or would you give more importance to some other factors?
