Buying at Prestige Willow Tree, Vidyaranyapura (October 2026 Guide)

Since July 2022, Prestige Willow Tree in Vidyaranyapura has held its occupancy certificate, and families have been living in its 451 flats. The Prestige Group project has five towers spread over 6.73 acres in North Bangalore. This guide looks at the neighbourhood, the homes and what they cost, the RERA history and the buyer's checklist.

The Neighbourhood

The flats are reached from the main road of Vidyaranyapura, a mature residential suburb between Jalahalli and Yelahanka. It developed alongside the area's public sector campuses, so its schools, shops and streets have been in place for decades. Most everyday errands can be done close to home.

Arterial routes connect eastward with Bellary Road at Hebbal and westward with Tumkur Road beyond Jalahalli, and Bellary Road through Yelahanka leads to the airport. For the metro, the closest operating option is Green Line stations near Tumkur Road, so residents largely rely on cars, two-wheelers and buses.

Inside Vidyaranyapura the roads are tighter than the main corridors, and traffic towards Hebbal crawls in rush hour. Driving to work at the normal hour settles the question quickly. The location best serves people employed at Manyata Tech Park, in Yelahanka or in the Jalahalli industrial belt.

Project at a Glance

Prestige Estates Projects Limited developed these residential apartments, registered with Karnataka RERA as PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/181204/002195. Its postal address carries pincode 560097. The project offers 451 homes of one, two and three bedrooms in five towers, the tallest of 11 floors and the others of 10, with an OC of 21 July 2022.

The plot measures 27,249 sq m, or about 6.73 acres, of which 5,745 sq m is built on. The rest, 21,503 sq m or roughly 79%, is open space. With about 67 homes to the acre, density is moderate by city standards.

Apartment Sizes

Most of the project is three-bedroom flats. RERA lists these carpet areas:

• 56 one-bedroom flats of roughly 431 to 441 sq ft
• 106 two-bedroom flats of roughly 786 sq ft
• 289 three-bedroom flats of roughly 947 to 1,238 sq ft

Physically there are three buildings. Two pair up 11-floor towers, one with 184 flats and the other with 186, and the third is one 10-floor tower with 81 homes. Mid-rise blocks like these mean quicker lifts and fewer flats per floor than a 30-floor tower.

Because built-up and saleable areas add walls and common space, they run higher than carpet; the 1 BHK is advertised at around 661 sq ft once walls are counted. Compare flats on carpet area, which every sale deed states.

What Homes Cost

Prices begin at Rs. 55 Lakhs, which buys a one-bedroom flat; on its built-up area that is close to Rs. 8,300 a sq ft. Larger flats now sell chiefly as resales, at each owner's asking price.

Resale value moves with the tower, floor, facing and upkeep, and recent registered sales here are the most reliable benchmark. The flats on offer now, and their prices, can be shared on request.

Over and above the price, plan for:

• 5.6% stamp duty inclusive of cess and surcharge
• 2% registration
• The owners' association transfer fee
• The maintenance deposit and monthly dues
• Lawyer's fees for title verification and the deed

For a Rs. 55 Lakhs flat, duty plus registration is close to Rs. 4.18 Lakhs. GST does not apply to a finished home with an OC, and the EMI calculator works out the monthly payment and cash needed upfront.

Approvals and Timeline

The RERA registration is dated 4 December 2018, and builders started on site in January 2019. A completion date of 30 June 2022 was registered and extended under the Covid relief to 30 March 2023. The OC was granted in July 2022, on the 21st, comfortably ahead of the extended deadline.

BDA, the Bangalore Development Authority, sanctioned the plan. The portal record holds the approved plans and the occupancy certificate, and as the flats are ready, buyers carry no construction risk.

Facilities

The clubhouse is the focus, with outdoor play spaces in the open land between towers:

• A gym in the clubhouse
• A pool
• A jogging and walking path
• A playground and basketball court
• An open-air amphitheatre
• Landscaped parks
• Backup power in common areas

Because the campus has been occupied for some years, every facility can be judged in use. Lobbies, lifts, basements and the pool reveal how well the association runs things, and its recent statements reveal the monthly fee and the reserve fund balance.

Buyer Profile

The core audience is families wanting a ready flat from a major developer in a long-settled part of North Bangalore. Three-bedroom homes dominate, giving families the most floors and facings to pick from, and the 1 BHK suits singles, couples or investors after a compact rental in a gated community.

Anyone needing a walkable metro station should search near the Green Line on Tumkur Road. So should buyers expecting a big township's list of 40 or 50 amenities. What this project offers is mid-rise living, generous open space and a well-settled suburb.

Document and Site Checks

Ready flats are bought through a registered deed, so check that specific flat's papers first:

• Match the flat's size, block, level and orientation with the approved plan
• See the occupancy certificate covering that tower
• Review the seller's deed, e-khata and encumbrance certificate
• Confirm property tax and maintenance are paid up
• Check that the deed records the allotted parking
• Get a loan release from the seller's lender where a loan exists
• Inspect for damp, worn fittings and faulty electrical points

A visit after office hours on a weekday shows the traffic on the main road and how parking works inside. A chat with a few residents fills gaps the papers leave, such as water in the summer months and maintenance response times. Visits can be arranged and current availability shared on request.
