Dear Sir / Madam,

Greetings from the Brigade Group !

We are pleased to share with you the progress on Brigade Value Homes.

NORTH – DEVANAHALLI – BRIGADE ORCHARDS:

We are currently gearing up to obtain the sanction for the model units and the site Marketing Office, which we should have by October end. We are in the advanced stages of obtaining NOCs before applying for the Development Plan/Building Plan sanction.

· Around 2 km of 1.8m high, solid concrete fencing has already been erected.

· Work on the main spine road has commenced, and about 1 km has already been leveled; asphalting is to commence

· NOCs from BSNL, AAI have been received, as also water NOCs

· Workers quarters have been erected, and a temporary site office is functioning

SOUTH – KANAKAPURA ROAD – BRIGADE MEADOWS:

We are pleased to inform you that Brigade Value Homes on Kanakapura Road is named ‘BRIGADE MEADOWS’. Construction of the Site Office and Model Apartments is underway. This is a Ground + 3 storey structure, and will have all the apartment configurations. Phased development will be taken up along with a School, Club and Commercial Complex. We expect to launch in 3 -6 months subject to receiving approvals and the first phase will take 24 months from commencement. We have submitted the Development Plan and are awaiting sanction. We understand the Namma Metro project proposes to have the Art of Living location as its last stop in Phase 2. This may coincide with the completion of our project and will be an added benefit….

EAST – WHITEFIELD / K.R.PURAM:

In this location we have not been able to obtain legal clearance on the land parcels in hand. While we regret the delay, it is our bounden duty to convey property free of any encumbrance and we will only proceed once all clearances have been received. This may take another few months and we would like to retain your registration to avail of our offer, However, if you would like to take a transfer or a refund, please inform us.

WEST – MYSORE ROAD:

While we have the land, the formalities are taking time. Hence there would be some delay in the launch of this project. We have made progress in this area and though delayed, we are working towards design development and approval.

Transfer to other Value Home locations: Those who wish to shift registrations to other locations can do so by sending us your request by email. We will take it up when we are ready to launch the properties.

Site location for Devanahalli Brigade value home

Brigade have disclosed the site location for devanahalli site and its only 1 km north of the bangalore airport. Thast rests some concerns that it might be in some deep interior location but we should now expect a lot of airport noise in the complex. personally I would prefer a balcony which doesn't overlook the airport.

KR Puram Location - Brigade value Homes

Based on the conversation with the folks at Brigade it seems that the location is 2kms from hoodi circle on the devasandra main road. Personally I have visited the whitefield area quite often and find the devasandra area a bit congested, but that's a personal opinion. I am sure some people like being in the midst of things.

A wikimapia to the possible location is at http://wikimapia.org/#lat=13.0067321&lon=77.6998079&z=18&l=0&m=s&v=9
