Best Ongoing Residential Projects Near Old Madras Road in 2026

Most buyers check the price first. That is the wrong starting point.

What should you actually check before booking?

Start with the RERA number. Go to the Karnataka RERA website and look up the project. Check the approved possession date. Then read the construction schedule. It shows the actual stage-by-stage timeline. Not what the brochure says. Next, check the contractor. A builder with a strong track record finishes on time more often. Last, check the payment plan. A construction-linked plan means your money moves only when real work gets done.

These four checks apply to every new under-construction flat on Old Madras Road in 2026.

Purva Northern Lights is the largest ongoing project near the Old Madras Road corridor in 2026. It sits on Bagalur Main Road inside KIADB Aerospace Park, North Bangalore. The township uses 24.55 acres of land. There are 8 high-rise towers. Each tower has B + G + 29 to 30 floors. Total units across 3 phases are 2,973.

Puravankara Limited develops the project. Contractor is Kalpataru Projects International. Architect is Kembhavi Architecture. The total project cost is 859 crore. Construction started in April 2026. Possession is set for 31 December 2029.

All 3 phases have RERA approval. Phase 1 RERA is PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/120326/008523. It was approved on 12 March 2026.

80% of the land is open and green. That is close to 20 acres. Two clubhouses together cover 1 lakh sq ft. A retail plaza of 76,000 sq ft sits inside the gates. You get a gym, pool, indoor courts, co-working areas, and 2 km of walking tracks.

Doddajala Metro Station on the Blue Line is 2 km from the project. BLR Airport is 8 km. That is about 15 to 20 minutes by road via NH 44.

The payment plan is construction-linked. You pay 10% at booking. Then 10% at agreement. The remaining 80% moves in stages as work progresses.

• 1 BHK: 408 sq ft | From 80 lakhs
• 2 BHK: 670 to 768 sq ft | From 1.11 crore
• 3 BHK: 1,003 to 1,077 sq ft | From 1.60 crore
• 4 BHK: 2,235 to 2,332 sq ft | From 2.64 crore

Purva Weaves is a smaller ongoing project. It sits in Yemlur, just behind Prestige Tech Park. That is right on Old Madras Road. The project uses 3.95 acres. There are 3 towers. 80% of the land stays open.

You get 2, 3, and 4 BHK homes here. Flat sizes go from 1,131 sq ft to 2,600 sq ft. Prices start at 1.86 crore. This suits buyers who work in Yemlur, Bellandur, or Whitefield. The address is directly on the Old Madras Road belt. But the entry price is much higher than Purva Northern Lights.

• 2 BHK: 1,131 sq ft onwards | From 1.86 crore
• 3 BHK: Available | Price on request
• 4 BHK: Up to 2,600 sq ft | Price on request

Purva Tranquility is not an apartment project. It is a plotted development. You buy land. You build your own home.

It sits in Medihalli, off Sarjapur-Attibele Road. The gated layout covers 45 acres. Plot sizes go from 1,200 sq ft to 2,400 sq ft. There are wide internal roads, water lines, power connections, and small parks inside. Prices start at 78 lakhs.

Sarjapur Road connects to Old Madras Road via the ORR. But KR Puram is further from here by road than from Bagalur Road. Keep that in mind before booking.

• 30x40 plots: 1,200 sq ft | From 78 lakhs
• 30x50 plots: 1,500 sq ft | Price on request
• 40x60 plots: 2,400 sq ft | Price on request

Every builder shows you a possession date in the brochure. But most buyers never check if the construction schedule matches.

What happens when it does not match?

You pay EMI. The project sits still. That costs you real money and real time. So checking the RERA construction schedule before you book is not optional.

Purva Northern Lights has a detailed timeline filed with Karnataka RERA. Earth work runs from April to September 2026. Foundation goes from August 2026 to March 2027. Superstructure RCC starts February 2027 and runs to November 2027. Masonry continues through November 2029. Finishing work wraps up December 2029. Every stage has a start date and an end date. That is public information on the RERA portal.

Contractor Kalpataru Projects International handles the build. They have a delivery track record across large-format projects in India. That matters when you are booking 4 years ahead.

Many buyers on Old Madras Road ask this honestly. Is Bagalur too far?

By road today, KR Puram is about 22 km. That takes 35 to 45 minutes via NH 44 and ORR. Not ideal for daily drivers.

But Doddajala Metro Station is 2 km from the project. The Blue Line runs 37 km from KR Puram to the airport. Once it is fully operational, you can take the metro from Bagalur Road straight to KR Puram. No driving through city roads.

So for buyers who go to Old Madras Road offices 2 to 3 days a week, the metro makes it work. For daily drivers to Whitefield or Marathahalli, the road time is a real factor. Be honest with yourself about your commute pattern before you decide.
