Prestige Serenity Shores Near Varthur: October 2026 Buying Guide
At Gunjur near Varthur, Prestige Serenity Shores is a four-tower Prestige Group project still under construction. Its 657 registered homes have all been booked, so new buyers step into an allotment held by someone else. This guide looks at the location, the towers and plans, progress on site and the paperwork involved.
Gunjur and Its Connections
The project is in Gunjur Village on the road linking Marathahalli and Sarjapur, part of Varthur. Prestige Lakeside Habitat, a finished township by the same builder, borders it on the east. The area bridges the Whitefield job hub up north and the employers along the ORR and Sarjapur Road towards the south-west.
Whitefield has had the Purple Line since 2023, but reaching a station from Gunjur takes a drive. Rush-hour traffic on Gunjur Road and Varthur Main Road is heavy, so trying the commute at peak time beats reading a map.
What RERA Lists
Registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/220823/006192 was granted on 22 August 2023 to Prestige Habitat Ventures for a residential apartment project. The land is 42,731 sq m, around 10.6 acres, falling in Ward 149 of Bengaluru East (pincode 560087), Gunjur Village. BBMP sanctioned the plans on 15 July 2023, and building is registered between 1 November 2023 and 31 August 2027.
The towers have a footprint of 6,422 sq m, so 36,309 sq m (85%) stays open. Parking totals 788 covered slots plus 57 in the open. Supply of water is from a borewell and BWSSB.
Four Towers, Four Mixes
Heights and flat types differ from tower to tower. Tower 1 rises 26 floors with 215 homes, chiefly mid-size and spacious three-bedroom units. Tower 2 matches it at 26 floors and 215 homes but holds the biggest three-bedroom plans and the four-bedroom ones.
Tower 3 has 166 homes over 20 floors, in two-bedroom and smaller three-bedroom formats. Tower 4 is the smallest at 10 floors, with 61 homes that are all 1 BHK.
Project-wide, that gives 385 homes with 3 BHK layouts, 108 with 4 BHK, 92 with 2 BHK and 72 with 1 BHK. The tower shapes the outlook and the neighbours, so give it equal weight with the floor plan.
Floor Plans by Size
Three-bedroom flats come in Classic, Premium and Royale grades. Areas in sq ft:
| Plan | Built-up | Carpet |
|---|---|---|
| 4 BHK plus helper's room | 2,667-2,712 | 1,773 |
| 3 BHK Royale plus study | 1,981-2,010 | 1,292-1,295 |
| 3 BHK Premium, 3 baths | 1,699-1,725 | 1,097 |
| 3 BHK Classic, 2 baths | 1,399-1,435 | 889-914 |
| 2 BHK | 1,260-1,283 | 805 |
| 1 BHK | On request | 412-428 |
Carpet figures cover standard units; a handful of corner flats are larger. Classic has two bathrooms, Premium three, and Royale adds a study for home working. The four-bedroom layout includes four bathrooms and a helper's room.
Shared Facilities
At the heart of the amenity plan is a 3,459 sq m clubhouse, roughly 37,200 sq ft:
- Fitness and wellness rooms plus indoor games inside the clubhouse
- A pool next to a yoga lawn
- Courts for sport and a jogging track
- Gardens and a kids' play zone
- A party hall for many uses and retail units
Progress on the clubhouse and pool is filed each quarter with the towers, as both form part of the registration. The agreement ought to list what buyers get on the day of handover.
Construction Status
The completion date on record is 31 August 2027. The quarterly filing of July 2026 shows the project 82% complete, the frame having been completed in March 2026. Other figures were 95% for plastering, 84% for flooring, 75% for masonry, 50% for the clubhouse and 40% for the pool.
A search by name on the RERA site of Karnataka opens the registration and sanctioned plans. Flat-wise carpet areas and tower progress are listed there too.
Taking Over an Allotment
Since every flat was booked by July 2026, a purchase means a transfer. The original buyer has signed with the developer and paid some of the price. The incoming buyer repays that sum plus a premium and then pays the instalments still due.
Developer approval is needed, generally with a fee attached. The buyer pays stamp duty and the registration charge at the time the fresh agreement, or later the deed, is registered. Taking Rs. 1.5 Crore as a sample value, 5.6% stamp duty and 2% registration total Rs. 11.4 Lakhs. The EMI calculator works out the instalment and the cash needed upfront.
Is It a Match?
Buyers wanting a brand-new Prestige home in the belt linking Whitefield to Sarjapur Road, and able to wait to late 2027, are the natural fit. Plans span compact singles up to family-sized 4 BHK homes, and the Royale's study helps remote workers. With 657 flats on 10.6 acres or so, it is a far smaller community than neighbouring Lakeside Habitat.
Two towers reach 26 floors, so expect high-rise living. Those who need to move in now or want a low-rise block should consider completed projects in the area.
Before Signing a Transfer
Everything hinges on the seller's documents and the developer's approval. Check these first:
- Go through the original buyer's agreement, matching the unit and its carpet area to RERA
- Ask the developer for a statement of payments made and dues left
- Secure written approval from Prestige and the fee amount
- Find out if a bank loan exists and get a letter from the bank releasing it
- Get the tower, floor, facing and car park written down
- Check the possession date and what the builder pays for delay
- Pay Prestige's portion only into the RERA project account
Premiums vary between sellers, so compare a few offers on matching plans. See the site before deciding.
