[RAVIKANTH]

EVERYTHING U WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT DEVELOPMENTS IN CHANDAPUR ANEKAL ROAD


Under construction 275 acres Allianz Eldorado Park on Anekal Jigani Road with 1100 villas plus 200 row houses, 500 apartments, 18 hole golf course, 4 screen Multiplex, 5 star hotel with 150 rooms

Allianz Shopping Mall on Anekal Jigani Road – proposed – inside Allianz Eldorado Park - with 1,75,000 sq.ft leasable area

By 2018, Metro Train Phase II will have a Bommasandra Metro Station up and running, just 3-4 kms away from Chandapura Circle .

If one takes the road through Naganathapura to reach Whitefield or Sarjapura or Marathalli, it will be a breeze to reach the IT hotspots and will be about just 15-18 kms. Varthur, Whitefield can be directly accessed through the Chandapura-Dommasandra road, reach Dommasandra circle, take a straight road to Varthur, Whitefield.
PES engineering college, Oxford Institutions - both on Hosur Road , will be about less than 8 kms from C-Circle.

This Chandapura Anekal road from Chandapura Circle (C-Circle) till Anekal - which is about 9 kms long is being widened into a huge massive 300 ft road and work is under progress now at the moment.

This Chandapur Anekal road will soon become a part of the Intermediate Ring Road since road widening work into 300 ft wide road from Chandapura Circle till Anekal circle has already started and work is currently under progress at this moment. This Intermediate Ring Road will be a total length of 188 km which will connect Chandapura, Anekal, Nelamangala, Bidadi, Harohalli, Tattekere, Hosakote, Sarjapura, Jigani, Tavarekere, Aradeshanahalli and Mylenahalli and connect Devanahalli International Airport directly. This road (including the Chandapur Anekal stretch), when road widening work is completed, would be 188 kms long and will be an 8 lane road including two service lanes on either sides. Estimated Cost is Rs. 1000 crore.

A super luxury high end villa project on Chandapur Anekal Road (C-A Road), just 4 kms from Narayana Hrudayalaya Hosptl was announced by Artha Property of Times of India group in association with Vasudha Properties as the Land Developers with launch of 165 villas on a 13 acre land with private swimming pool for each villa - costing between 1.10 crores to 1.50 crores basic cost was announced on 5.8.2011 as per a Times of India/Times Property newspaper article. This means the area and the Anekal Road has fallen in the eyes of land developers and the area has come to their notice for development prospects. This project will be located just 500 mtrs behind Marsur Gate Petrol Bunk.

HDFC is constructing a total of 2750 apartments on C-A road with a dedicated CBSE school from 1st standard to 10th. The project is called VBHC Budget Apartments and when fully completed, this project will have a total of 2750 apartments, bang on the main road, just 2 kms from Marsur Gate, just 6 kms from Chandapura Circle . 56 apartments keys were handed over to owners on 13.8.11 as per a TOI newspaper report.

A medical college is proposed to be constructed just opposite this VBHC apartment complex, close to Alliance Business School .

A Malaysian company is constructing 576 apartments on C-A road with a commercial complex of its own in the apartment complex.

JR Meadows Layout also has a reserved land bank on the main road, to construct a commercial complex, to lease, sell or rent out when constructed.

Surya City has started construction of 392 apartments on the main road itself. Work started on 15th July 2011, bang on the main road, 3 kms from Chandapura Circle , in addition to below mentioned project details.

Surya City Phase I:

Is expected to be a total of 1200 acres when work is fully completed.

Out of this 1200 acres, an area of 300 acres project is already fully occupied and operational with private roads, gardens, parks, proposed shopping complex like BDA complexes and has a total of 3697 units with a mixture of Low income flats, middle income flats, high income flats, low income villas and high income villas, with a mixture of 4 storied buildings and also 8 storied buildings. All these together have 3697 units/dwellings total (1633 plots + 487 Houses + 1577 Apartments = 3697 Units).

Surya City Phase I has already called for Tenders to construct 4 BDA shopping complexes inside the complex.

Surya City Phase II:

When completed is also expected to be a total of 1260 acres in addition to the above Phase I of 1200 acres.

This Phase II is under development and construction is going on, just adjacent and behind this Phase I on a 310 acre extension with plans to have about 3500 dwelling units. I can show you all these if you are interested to make a visit by your car and you can see and assess the potential for future yourself personally.

Surya City Phase III:

Land acquisition is in progress already, as of now, for Surya City Phase III and Phase III alone is expected to be a total of 1400 acres.

Thus, Phase I will have 1200 acres, Phase II will have 1260 acres, Phase III will have 1400 acres.

After all Phase I, II, III are done and completed, the whole of Surya City or Surya Nagar is expected to be a total of 3860 acres, all 3 phases together total.

By 2020, all 3 phases of Surya City – Phase I, II, III of 3860 acres is expected to be completed as per the Comprehensive Development Plan 2031 (CDP 2031) prepared by the Government of Karnataka as required by the regulations of JNNURM funded by the Central Government of India. JNNURM is a centrally funded organisation which oversees the Urbanisation of Rural Areas surrounding a city, monitoring the planned scientific growth and development of a city for Inclusive Growth of the lowest strata of society to bring the rural population out of poverty and include them in the growth of the nation. 60 cities including Bangalore come under the purview and jurisdiction of JNNURM. The meaning of URM is Urban Renewal Mission.

Such is the speed with which Chandapura Anekal road is developing.

Since this part of South Bangalore is purposely being urbanized by the State Government with Surya City expected to act as the catalyst for urban growth and to encourage faster urbanization, it is proposed that Phase III of Metro Train connect Anekal to Chandapura circle and onwards till International Airport for direct connection to the airport via the Chandapura-Dommasandra road.

An Individual Town Ring Road called ITRR is proposed for Anekal town as per the CDP 2015 plan of the Government of Karnataka called Comprehensive Development Plan which is prepared once every 10 years, by the government, for the next 10 years.

As the government set out to make a survey to construct Satellite Town Ring Road for Bangalore along with Intermediate Ring Road (STRR and IRR), they found that 8 towns were in the way of these two ring roads. Hence a need was felt to construct 8 Ring Roads around these 8 towns which are called Individual Town Ring Road (ITRR). These 8 towns are mentioned below.

These ITRRs will be linked to IRRs which will be further connected to STRR which will be further connected to Radial Roads called RRs.

The ITRR will connect 8 towns viz., Devanahalli, Kanakapura, Hosakote, Nelamangala, Ramanagaram, Anekal, Magadi, Doddaballapur and will be a total of 190 km high speed corridor in length with 300 ft wide road, having 4 lanes of 180 kmph speed, plus 2 service lanes on either side (total 8 lanes)

The ITRR as above will be 190 km long

The STRR is proposed to be 204 km long

The IRR is proposed to be 188 km long

The RRs will be 180 kms long

Peripheral Ring Road will be 116 kms long.

The above project – all above roads mentioned is under the control of BMRDA.

In addition to all above, a Peripheral Ring Road that connects to all above roads, is also being planned by BDA.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT PLANS BY GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE INVESTORS:

Recent articles on growth plans in this Chandapura Anekal stretch of road or area or surroundings:

Times of India - Page 2 dtd 7.7.2011 - Bio tech park proposed on 109 acres - constructiton to start from 11th July 2011 by US Company Alexandria Equity Ltd for 500 crores - built up area - 14 lakh square metres (not sq. feet)

Same issue as above - page 5 - IIM - B to start construction soon of a 2nd branch and unit in Anekal on 110 acres on a 30 year lease already got from Government

Same isssue as above - Management Development Institute - Gurgaon's most famous MBA college and B School plans a new campus on 50 acres next to IIM B Anekal extendable by another 50 acres at a later date.

Same article as above - Karnataka's first Private University offering MBA programs called Alliance University - 2nd most popular MBA college after IIM-B in Bangalore - plans to expand operations to 105 acre campus on its existing college and project site, currently already running and operational since 10 yrs on Chandapur Anekal main road itself.

Within a radius of about 16 kms from Chandapura circle, as many as 70 IT companies and OEMs are located. Just 12 kms from Cpura circle, on Sarjapura Attibele Road , Infosys has acquired a 300 acre land for their next IT expansion and construction work on the campus is expected to start in March 2012 as per a recent newspaper report.

Attibele (which is the border and last part of South Bangalore, before Tamilnadu starts), which is another 7 kms away from Chandapura Circle - has a project by Shriram Properties with upcoming 1300 apartments in one single project location.

With these developments, in another 3 to 5 years, this area too will become a hot spot like Sarjapura, Marathalli, Whitefield, HSR layout, Hosur road, Electronic city, Jayanagar, Koramangala etc.

BMRDA consists of 8005 sq.km which consists of Bangalore Urban area and Bangalore Rural area out of which right now, BDA is under control of only 1219.50 sq.km of Bangalore . Contrary to popular belief, BDA itself also actually comes under BMRDA, because BMRDA is divided into BDA, BBMP and 10 more Planning Authorities called BMICAPA, APA, NPA, MPA, HPA, KPA, BIAAPA, APZ-1 and 2, all Interstitial Zones in BMR.

By 2030, Bangalore is expected to grow to the whole of this 8005 sq kms

With BDA controlling only 1219 sq km, BBMP is currently controlling only 800 sq.km and is hardly generating any revenue to sustain itself or execute developmental or growth/improvement activities. To improve its revenue generating potential by way of property tax, 110 additional villages were brought under BBMP jurisdiction a few years ago. Thus many Rural areas have suddenly become BBMP areas – in common man’s terms – Bangalore City Corporation limits and thus BBMP spread to 800 sq.km. In the same way, another 250 villages will be brought under the BBMP jurisdiction by 2016 to increase the revenue generating ability of BBMP as per the CDP 2031 plan and to have a planned organized growth of Bangalore . Thus slowly all villages inside of 8005 sq.km. will become Urbanised and there will be nothing called Rural Bangalore. Everything will be Urban Bangalore. That is the reason why you see names everywhere like “Uttarahalli” and “Marathahalli” inside Bangalore city whereas Halli actually means village. Once upon a time they were villages. Now they are inside the city.

Anekal Town alone has 170 villages. It wont be long before all these 170 villages become urbanized and become part of the city. It is already planned by CDP 2031 that all these 170 villages be brought under Urban Bangalore – means Bangalore City – by 2031. With that purpose in mind, a Ring Road around Anekal Town is planned to connect the Ring Road to Intermediate Ring Road of 188 kms as mentioned above.

With the same purpose in mind and with a desire to make Bangalore have a planned growth and development, it is proposed by the government that by 2030, the remaining 5986 sq.km be also brought under the jurisdiction of BBMP thus totaling 8005 sq.km.

This means that Chandapura Anekal road and Anekal town itself will also one day, if not today, atleast by 2030, be under Urban Bangalore, thus losing its previously held tag of Rural Bangalore. The rates then will be something like what it is in Bannerghatta Road because by then, multiplexes, malls would all have sprung up in the surroundings.

Great...!!! Are these all seriously expected in next 15-20 years?

Mr Ravikant,

I am sorry to differ your points ..

Except VBHC project and Surya City , nothing spl in Chandrapura _Anakel Stretch.

Lot of layout between Anakel Road and the railway track , sold to NRI . Their name , place and Country are printed in a metal sheet . None of them are going to-build an house there .

Anekal town in Bangalore Urban is unimaginable .(at-least in the next 50-60 years )

There are chances of development in Sarjapur Road and While field - Sarjapur road, but not in Anekal surrounding areas

[mramki_77]

Agree with Jack. Hundreds of layouts but none is interested in construction. That is the sad reality. So should expect around a decade for some sort of growth. By the time Metro comes to Hosur road, we will be retired and our kids will be working . Phase 1 is not yet completed.

Thanks
Ram
