Prestige Lakeside Habitat at Gunjur, Varthur: Plans, RERA and Resale Checks (October 2026)
Completed by Prestige Group, Prestige Lakeside Habitat forms a lakeside community of villas and flats in Gunjur, along the Varthur Main Road of East Bangalore. With the builder's stock fully sold, any home here now comes from an owner. This guide sets out the location, who it suits, the registration, the plans, resale pricing and the checks for a ready flat in such a big township.
Where the Township Is
The address is Devasthanagalu, Gunjur Village, on SH 35, the road better known as Varthur Main Road. It falls within Varthur, on the stretch joining Whitefield and Sarjapur Road. Varthur Lake borders the township, and several towers look out over it.
Offices along the ORR and Sarjapur Road are south-west, and Whitefield's offices are north. The Purple Line metro passes through Whitefield, but its stations need a drive from Gunjur. Peak-hour traffic on Varthur Main Road is heavy, so a trial commute during office hours is sensible.
Who It Fits
The natural buyer is a family employed in the Sarjapur Road or Whitefield belts that wants a ready flat with a complete clubhouse. Plans of 2 to 4 BHK suit most family sizes. Demand from tenants working nearby also makes it worth a look for buyers who intend to let.
Nearly 3,700 households live here, so the place is busy. Buyers after a small and quiet block, or a new flat straight from a builder, will find better options in other projects.
Registration Summary
Key entries in the Karnataka RERA registration are below:
| Heading | Particulars |
|---|---|
| Registration | PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/170915/000176 |
| Promoter firm | Prestige Habitat Ventures |
| Homes | 3,697 altogether: 271 villas, 3,426 flats |
| Land | 401,318 sq m, close to 99 acres |
| Towers | 18 to 29 floors high, 24 of them across 11 buildings |
| Product | Flats and villas around a clubhouse |
| Address | Varthur Hobli, Gunjur Village, Bangalore East Taluk, pincode 560087 |
| Current stage | Completed |
The project is widely promoted as 102 acres, while the registered land is close to 99 acres. Of this, 325,318 sq m stays open, an 81% share, and the towers take up 19%.
Four Apartment Plans
Flats come in four built-up sizes:
| Configuration | Built-up area |
|---|---|
| Two bedrooms | 1,195 sq ft |
| Two bedrooms plus a study | 1,346 sq ft |
| Three bedrooms | 1,655 sq ft |
| Four bedrooms | 2,830 sq ft |
That study plan is sold as a 2.5 BHK, the extra room being compact. A separate villa enclave holds the 271 villas of three and four bedrooms. Because sellers usually give super built-up or built-up figures, the carpet area on the deed is the fair measure.
Facilities on Site
Residents have used the big clubhouse and open grounds every day for several years. Facilities include:
- A community hall, games room and small theatre in the clubhouse
- A pool, gymnasium, sauna and spa
- Basketball, tennis and badminton courts, along with table tennis
- A jogging path through landscaped gardens
- Play spaces for children
For a township already in use, upkeep counts for more than the list. Seeing the chosen tower's lifts and basements, and the clubhouse, shows the association's standard of care.
RERA and Completion
The registration is dated 15 September 2017. Work started on 10 May 2015, and 31 January 2020 was the registered completion date, with delivery in phases over those years. The portal holds an occupancy certificate dated 24 July 2018.
On Karnataka's RERA portal, a search by the project's name shows the number along with each building's towers, floors and units. Years of occupation mean a buyer inspects real homes, not a brochure plan.
Resale Prices and Extra Costs
Each flat's price turns on its tower, floor, outlook and condition, with lake-facing and upper-floor flats commanding more. Deeds registered in the same tower, found through a search at the local sub-registrar, are a better benchmark than quotes.
Buyers pay stamp duty and registration in addition. As an illustration only, a Rs. 1.5 Crore deal carries Rs. 11.4 Lakhs in duty at 5.6% plus 2% registration. GST does not apply to a finished flat that has an occupancy certificate, and our EMI calculator works out the instalment and the cash needed upfront.
Before Paying an Advance
A resale depends on clean title and a sound flat, so begin with these checks:
- Compare the flat number, tower and carpet area on the deed against the unit list on RERA
- Study the sale deed and khata, and pull a fresh encumbrance certificate
- Get the bank's closure letter if a loan is running on the flat
- Collect the association's no-dues letter and confirm the transfer charge
- Check the maintenance fee per month and which parking slot is included
- Look for leaks, plumbing problems and electrical faults before settling the price
- Drive from the township to the office during weekday rush hour
Across the site, approach roads, the walk to the main gate and the views vary widely. Weigh the resale flats currently listed in Prestige Lakeside Habitat, then see the site before deciding.
