Sobha Brooklyn Towers: Unpacking the real 3BHK living space
Did a site visit to Sobha Brooklyn Towers Town Park Phase 4 on Saturday, and honestly, the price tag (₹2.63 Cr) for a 3BHK gives me pause. I'm currently in a 2BHK and thinking of upgrading, but is this premium justified for daily living? The floor plan looked okay on paper, but actual carpet area efficiency kitni hai? Matlab, real space kitna usable hai? Also, neighborhood quality for schools and markets kaisa hai, aur noise levels ka kya scene hai? Already home loan hai, so making sure this is a good home.

I feel you on the budget constraint, especially with an existing home loan. ₹2.63 Cr is a huge jump. Have you looked at any other options? Sometimes, a slightly older resale flat in a more established locality might give you better carpet area for the same price or less, and no waiting period. Just a thought to save some EMIs.
Regarding the neighborhood quality, my sister lives nearby. Schools are decent, but traffic is a nightmare during peak hours. And noise levels? Prepare for some construction sounds for a while, as there's always something coming up in that belt. Markets are okay, but not exactly walking distance for everything. You'd need a vehicle for daily errands.
The possession date is 2029-06-01, right? That's quite far off. I'm always wary of projects with such long timelines, especially after seeing so many delays in other builders. Did you check their RERA number? It's PRM/KA/RERA/1251/308/PR/270922/005269. What's the track record for this specific phase?
Yes, that RERA number is correct. I found it too. But track record is tricky. Sobha generally delivers, but sometimes phases get delayed. My friend booked in another Sobha project near Adigara Kallahalli and got possession a few months late, nothing major, but still, delays are stressful. Always factor in a buffer.
You're right to be cautious about the possession date. 2029 is a long wait. I checked the RERA site for Sobha Brooklyn Towers. It's an ongoing project, but I couldn't find any specific delay history for this phase, only the initial registration. But with 99 units, it should be manageable for a builder like Sobha.
Sahi keh rahe ho. Sobha ka name hai, but for ₹2.63 Cr, I expect a lot more than just 'okay' floor plan. Bengaluru property rates have gone bonkers, but even then, this seems steep. What about the amenities? Are they justifying the premium? Because if it's just basic stuff, then why pay so much?
Haan yaar, I agree with your point about amenities. They show you all these fancy renders, but then the actual maintenance charges hit you hard. Plus, waiting till 2029 for possession? That's a long time for your money to be locked up, especially with interest rates fluctuating.
Exactly! The price tag for Sobha Brooklyn Towers is definitely on the higher side. I was looking at something similar in Aavalahalli, and even there, prices are high but you get better appreciation potential perhaps. But for this project, the premium feels more for the brand than the actual value.
Amenities are decent, but nothing out of the world for that price point. My cousin lives near Akshayanagar and got a bigger 3BHK for much less a couple of years ago. The current market is just brutal for first-time buyers like us. Builders know people are desperate.

Totally understand your dilemma. Upgrading from 2BHK to 3BHK is a big step, especially with prices like this. Regarding usable space, I heard from a friend who booked in Sobha Windsor that their carpet area felt significantly smaller than what was quoted. Always ask for the RERA carpet area certificate, not just super built-up.
Bhai, you're not alone! ₹2.63 Cr for a 3BHK in an ongoing project with possession in 2029? That's a huge commitment. I visited Sobha Brooklyn Towers a few months back too, and felt the same about the carpet area. Photos always look bigger than reality, especially with these new age layouts.
