Casagrand Vivacity at Electronic City resident here – gave possession in late 2024. My experience: Casagrand's construction quality in Bangalore is on par with their Chennai projects – decent materials, reasonable finishing. The delay was about 6 months which is standard for this industry. The issue I had was the maintenance team post-possession – they're using a third-party vendor who doesn't understand Bangalore's specific requirements (water pressure here is different, elevator parameters differ from Tamil Nadu norms). For Casablanca I'd say the quality will be fine but verify their Bangalore maintenance partner before committing.
Kanakapura Road has been one of Bangalore's consistent performers in real estate appreciation – south Bangalore always holds value. The concern here is the possession date reality: RERA says May 2029 for a project that started site work now (2024-2025). That's 4 years which is long by any standard. During this period you're paying both rent AND EMI if you've taken a home loan. Model this carefully – 4 years of dual payment on ₹80-90L loan is ₹2.5-3L per month EMI plus ₹25-35K rent = ₹3-3.5L monthly outgo. Make sure your income supports this through the period.
Follow-up from my own post – went back for a second visit last week. Construction has progressed on Tower 1 – reached 4th floor slab level in one month which is good pace. Sales team confirmed 280+ units sold so far (35% of 805). The 5 BHK floor villas are almost entirely sold – apparently NRI buyers snapped them up. The penthouses have 2-3 units remaining. The bulk of unsold inventory is 2 and 3 BHK in Towers 3 and 4. If you're looking at floors above 12, negotiate hard because those are the slower-moving ones.
The hospital gap is real – nearest decent hospital from this location is Manipal or Columbia Asia in Jayanagar which is 14-15 km. In a medical emergency at 2am from Kanakapura Road that's not reassuring. Apollo and Sakra are even farther. This is the fundamental risk of buying in emerging corridors – you get good pricing but accept infrastructure gaps that take 5-7 years to fill. Factor this into the decision especially if you have elderly parents or young children at home.
