Sattva Songbird Budigere Cross — Studio to 4 BHK Villas, Price & RERA

Published: 10 July 2026 | By OneCity Property, Senior Property Advisor, Bangalore Real Estate

Sattva Songbird comes up constantly in Budigere Cross searches, and like the other pre-launch and under-construction projects on this site, the numbers depend heavily on which listing you happen to land on. There's also a detail worth knowing upfront that most aggregator pages blur together: this project actually has two distinct phases with two separate RERA registrations, filed roughly eighteen months apart, and a lot of listing sites mix facts from both phases into one description without saying so.

This page separates what's consistently verifiable from what varies by source, and flags the Phase 1 versus Phase 2 confusion specifically, since that's the single most common way a buyer here ends up with the wrong expectations.

None of this makes the project a poor choice. Sattva is a genuinely established, decades-old developer with a broad completed portfolio. It does mean that the "Sattva Songbird" you see advertised depends heavily on which specific listing, and which specific phase, you happen to be looking at.

Project Snapshot

Sattva Songbird is a residential development by Sattva Group (also operating as Salarpuria Sattva) in Budigere Cross, East Bangalore, just off Old Madras Road. Phase 1 launched around September 2024 under RERA number PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/060924/007008, offering Studio, 1, 2, 2.5, and 3 BHK apartments alongside 4 BHK villas or row houses, with reported pricing starting around 67 lakh rupees for the smallest units and extending well past 5 crore for the larger villas.

Phase 2 appears to be a separate, more recent launch, with its own RERA registration, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/270326/008557, filed in March 2026. Phase 2 is described consistently as two 42-storey towers with 381 units in 2 and 3 BHK configurations, priced from approximately 1.46 to 1.6 crore rupees, a noticeably higher price band than Phase 1's entry point. If a broker or listing quotes you a single "Sattva Songbird" price without specifying which phase, that number may not mean what you think it means.

Where the Numbers Actually Disagree

Total project land area is reported anywhere from roughly 12 to 16.4 acres depending on the source, and unit counts range from 1,321 to 1,760 across the project. Tower counts vary too: some sources describe 4 towers, others 5 or 6, with floor counts ranging from 29 to 42 storeys depending on which phase and which listing you're reading. Given the confirmed two-phase structure, at least some of this variation likely comes from sources describing only one phase while presenting it as the whole project, though not all of the discrepancy is explained that cleanly.

The practical approach here is the same one we'd recommend for any project with numbers this inconsistent: ask Sattva's sales team directly which phase a given price, tower, or unit count refers to, and cross-check both RERA numbers on the Karnataka RERA portal, and get the current total project scope in writing rather than assembling it yourself from multiple listing pages describing different moments in the project's history.

It's also worth noting that Sattva Group operates at a scale, with a portfolio in the dozens if not low hundreds of projects, where individual project pages inevitably get less day-to-day attention from the developer's own marketing team than the volume of third-party aggregator content describing them. That's a structural reason for the inconsistency, not necessarily a reflection on this specific project's actual construction quality or delivery likelihood, and it's a pattern worth expecting from any sufficiently large developer's less-flagship projects rather than something unique to Sattva Songbird.

About Sattva Group

Sattva Group, operating under the Salarpuria Sattva name in some contexts, has a history dating back to 1985, with a substantial completed portfolio across Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad. Reported completed-project counts vary by source, from roughly 91 to 142, which is itself consistent with a large, decades-old developer where different marketing pages get updated at different times rather than a red flag on its own. The group's other notable Bangalore developments include Sattva City in Doddajala and Sattva Forest Ridge in Anjanapura, giving a reasonably broad base of comparable, completed or ongoing projects to check the developer's track record against, beyond this specific project's own marketing.

The group's broader Bengaluru portfolio also includes Sattva Springs, useful as another reference point if you want to compare how the developer has positioned scale, location, and pricing across different corridors, alongside this project's own Budigere Cross positioning. Official brochures and current specifications are available through Sattva Group's own website, a safer source for official details than most third-party aggregator pages.

Configuration and Sizes

Across both phases, Sattva Songbird offers an unusually wide configuration spread: studio units starting around 468 to 480 square feet, 1 BHK units near 753 square feet, 2 BHK units in the 1,280 to 1,340 square foot range, 2.5 BHK units around 1,398 square feet, 3 BHK units from roughly 1,733 up to 1,876 square feet, and 4 BHK villas or row houses in the 3,336 to 3,543 square foot range. This breadth is genuinely useful if you're comparing this project against others with a narrower configuration mix, since it means Sattva Songbird can work for a single buyer wanting a studio and a joint family wanting a villa within the same broader development.

As always, confirm whether a quoted size is carpet area or super built-up area before comparing it against another project, and confirm which specific phase and tower a given configuration and size actually belongs to.

Villa or Row House Versus Apartment Within the Same Project

Choosing between the villa or row house option and an apartment configuration here is less about location, since both sit within the same broader development, and more about lifestyle and budget. The 4 BHK villas or row houses, at 3,336 to 3,543 square feet, offer independent-home living with more space and privacy, at a price point several times higher than the smaller apartment configurations. If you specifically want the independent-living feel without leaving a gated, amenity-equipped community, this is a genuine middle option between a standalone plot purchase and a standard apartment. If budget is the primary constraint, the apartment configurations, particularly in Phase 1, offer a considerably more accessible entry point into the same overall development.

Orientation and Vastu Considerations

As in most Bangalore developments, north and east-facing units here command a price premium over other orientations, and with a project spanning multiple towers and configurations, you'll likely have more orientation options to choose from than a smaller, single-tower project would offer. Decide upfront how much that premium matters to your own priorities, since a well-oriented unit at a lower floor can sometimes cost similarly to a less-preferred orientation at a higher floor, depending on how the developer has structured pricing for this specific project.

Pricing: What's Being Quoted and What to Verify

Phase 1 pricing is reported starting around 67.34 lakh rupees for the smallest units, extending to roughly 5.67 crore for the largest villas. Phase 2, being a separate and more recent launch, is priced meaningfully higher, from approximately 1.46 to 1.6 crore rupees for its 2 and 3 BHK units. One source also notes that average per-square-foot pricing moved from roughly 11,400 to 14,300 rupees during a recent quarter, a jump worth asking about directly, since a move of that size in a single quarter is unusual and worth understanding the specific cause of before you treat it as an ongoing trend.

Given the two-phase structure and the reported price movement, get the current official cost sheet for the specific phase and tower you're considering, rather than anchoring to any single number from this page or any other source.

Amenities

Reported amenities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, clubhouse, multipurpose sports court, table tennis court, children's play area, and more than 45 additional lifestyle amenities according to some listings, with over 80 percent of the project area reported as open space and greenery in most sources. Internal specifications mentioned include vitrified tile flooring, branded bathroom fittings, granite kitchen platforms, stainless steel sinks, and CCTV coverage. As with any project still under construction, confirm which specific amenities are contractually committed for your phase and tower versus described only in general project marketing.

What "80 Percent Open Space" Actually Means in Practice

This figure appears across almost every listing for this project, and it's worth understanding what it does and doesn't tell you. It typically refers to the ground-level footprint not covered by building structures, meaning roads, landscaping, walkways, and amenity areas, rather than a promise about density or crowding within the towers themselves. A project can genuinely have 80 percent open ground space and still feel dense if the remaining 20 percent houses very tall, closely-packed towers with a high total unit count. Ask to see the actual site plan and tower spacing rather than relying on the open-space percentage alone to judge how crowded the community will feel day to day.

This is worth checking in person if possible, since a site plan on paper can look more spacious than a fully built-out, occupied township actually feels, particularly once landscaping has matured and every parking spot, walkway, and amenity area is in daily use rather than shown empty in a rendering.

Possession Timeline and What "Under Construction" Means Here

Possession is most consistently cited as May 2029 based on the RERA-registered timeline, though at least one source distinguishes between a RERA possession date of May 2029 and an internally targeted completion around December 2028, a gap worth understanding since the RERA date is the one with actual regulatory teeth behind it. Phase 2, being newer, likely carries its own separate possession timeline distinct from Phase 1, which is another reason to confirm exactly which phase's schedule applies to the specific unit you're considering.

Floor Selection in Towers This Tall

With towers reported as tall as 42 storeys in some listings, floor selection here carries more weight than it would in a shorter building. Very high floors offer genuinely long views and reduced street noise, but lift wait times in a tower this tall, especially during peak morning and evening hours in a 300-plus-unit tower, can be a real daily friction point rather than a minor inconvenience. Ask specifically how many lifts serve each tower and how that ratio compares to the total unit count on record, since a tower with high floor counts and too few lifts is a common complaint in very tall developments once they're fully occupied.

Fire safety and evacuation procedure also deserve a direct question at this height. Ask what refuge floors, if any, are built into the tower design, and how the building's fire safety certification addresses evacuation from the upper floors specifically, rather than assuming standard fire safety measures scale evenly regardless of building height.

Why Budigere Cross, and What This Location Actually Offers

Budigere Cross sits on Old Madras Road in East Bangalore, within a corridor that has developed rapidly over the past several years, sitting among established projects from Sattva itself, Prestige, Brigade, Godrej, Disha, and Shriram. The corridor connects to Whitefield, KR Puram, and Hoskote, with Budigere Cross's main road functioning as an alternate route toward Kempegowda International Airport alongside NH-44.

If you're specifically comparing Budigere Cross against other Bangalore growth corridors, our Budigere Cross investment guide covers the area's fundamentals independent of this specific project, and is worth reading alongside this page since it covers civic infrastructure and long-term corridor trajectory rather than just this one development.

Should You Buy Phase 1 or Phase 2, or Look Elsewhere in the Same Corridor?

Phase 1's lower entry price reflects both its earlier launch and its wider configuration range, including smaller, more affordable studio and 1 BHK units that Phase 2 doesn't offer. Phase 2's higher price point buys you a newer launch with a narrower, larger-format configuration mix and, presumably, updated specifications and pricing reflecting the corridor's appreciation since Phase 1 launched. Neither is objectively better; the right choice depends on your budget, your preferred unit size, and how much you value being in a more established phase versus a newer one.

If Budigere Cross's fundamentals appeal to you but this specific project's pricing or configuration mix doesn't fit, it's worth comparing against other established developments in the same immediate corridor, since Budigere Cross has enough competing supply from major developers that you have genuine alternatives within a few minutes of this exact location.

How This Compares to Other Budigere Cross Developments

Budigere Cross has enough established supply from major developers that this project doesn't sit in isolation. Our Budigere Cross villas and plots guide covers a different segment of the same corridor, useful if an independent plot with your own construction timeline appeals to you more than either a completed villa or an apartment within a larger township. If you're weighing this corridor against North Bangalore's airport-driven growth story instead, our Bangalore locality comparison lays out pricing and fundamentals across the city's major micro-markets side by side.

Connectivity in Practical Terms

Old Madras Road provides the primary connectivity spine here, linking toward Whitefield, KR Puram, and onward into central Bangalore, with Budigere Cross's own main road serving as an alternate route to the airport alongside NH-44. Reported distances include Whitefield Metro Station and Railway Station both around 7 to 7.5 kilometres away, and KR Puram Metro Station at roughly 10 kilometres. International Tech Park Bangalore is cited at approximately 12 kilometres.

As with any distance figure quoted in project marketing, treat these as straight-line or best-case estimates rather than guaranteed commute times, and drive the actual route at a genuine peak hour before assuming the connectivity story matches your specific daily commute.

Schools, Healthcare, and Daily Life

Nearby institutions cited across listings include New Baldwin International School, VIBGYOR High School, Sri Jnanagangotri International School, and Garden City University, along with healthcare access through providers like Sri Sai Health Care and Vitals Hospital. Decathlon is cited at roughly 600 metres away, with Orion Uptown Mall around 2.2 kilometres, giving reasonable access to daily retail needs. As always, map actual drive times from this specific project location to your own preferred schools and healthcare providers rather than relying on a corridor-level summary alone.

A Note on "Group Buy" and Bulk Discount Offers

At least one listing site references a "group buy" scheme for this project, offering bulk-booking discounts if multiple buyers commit through the same channel. Treat offers like this the same way you'd treat any limited-time or bulk-discount sales tactic: useful if it genuinely reduces your price versus the developer's own current cost sheet, but worth confirming independently rather than assuming a third-party site's "guaranteed lowest price" claim is accurate without checking it against what Sattva's own sales office quotes you directly for the same unit.

Who This Project Actually Suits

Given the wide configuration spread across both phases, this project can suit a genuinely broad range of buyers: a single professional looking at a studio or 1 BHK in Phase 1, a family wanting a 2 or 3 BHK in either phase, or a larger family wanting a villa or row house. The common thread across all of these is a multi-year wait to possession and a corridor still very much in active development, which suits a buyer comfortable with that timeline more than one needing to move in soon.

If rental yield is your primary concern, run the numbers through our rental yield calculator once you have a confirmed, current price for the specific phase and configuration you're considering, since Phase 1 and Phase 2 pricing differ enough to meaningfully change the yield math.

Rental Demand in This Corridor

Reported monthly rents in the broader Budigere Cross area range from roughly 17,500 to 56,000 rupees for 2 and 3 BHK units, giving a rough sense of achievable rental income if you're buying primarily as an investment. This corridor's rental demand is driven substantially by Whitefield and ITPL-adjacent IT employment, similar to the pattern covered in our broader look at Budigere Cross as an investment corridor. As always, verify current achieved rents for comparable units in this specific project or its immediate vicinity, rather than relying on a broader corridor-level rental range that may not reflect this project's specific amenity level and positioning.

Considerations Specific to NRI Buyers

The two-phase confusion documented on this page is exactly the kind of detail that's harder to catch from outside India, where you can't easily call multiple sales offices or visit in person to clarify which phase a specific unit or price belongs to. If you're earlier in the process and want the fuller picture on FEMA compliance, RERA protections, and e-Khata requirements specific to NRI purchases, our NRI property buying guide is a useful companion to this page.

Financing an Apartment or Villa Purchase Here

Units across both phases generally qualify for standard home loan products from major banks, subject to income and credit profile, with loan-to-value ratios typically in the 75 to 80 percent range for salaried applicants. Expect a construction-linked disbursement schedule given the project's under-construction status, with funds released to the developer in tranches tied to actual progress. Compare offers from at least two or three lenders before finalising, and confirm whether your preferred lender treats Phase 1 and Phase 2 units differently given their different RERA registrations and possession timelines.

Home Insurance for Villa and Apartment Units

Home insurance remains underused among Indian buyers generally, but it's worth budgeting for regardless of which configuration you choose here. A villa or row house carries different insurance considerations than an apartment unit, since you're typically responsible for more of the structure yourself rather than sharing that responsibility across an owners' association. Ask your insurer specifically how coverage differs between the two configurations if you're deciding between a villa and an apartment within this same project.

It's also worth checking whether the developer's own master insurance policy, if one exists for shared structures and common areas, adequately covers the clubhouse, amenity blocks, and shared infrastructure across both phases, or whether that responsibility falls to the eventual owners' association once possession begins.

Neither of these is a dealbreaker either way, but knowing the answer before possession, rather than discovering it when the first major repair bill arrives, is the difference between a manageable cost and an unpleasant surprise split across an entire tower's worth of owners.

Owners' Association Across Two Phases

A project with a confirmed two-phase structure raises a specific governance question worth asking directly: will Phase 1 and Phase 2 eventually share a single master owners' association, or will they be governed separately? This matters for how shared amenities, if any are actually shared across phases, get maintained and funded long-term, and it's a materially different question than the single-phase governance structure most projects have. Ask the developer directly how this is planned before assuming either phase's maintenance costs or amenity access work the way a single-phase project's would.

What Happens If You Need to Exit Before Possession

Given the multi-year timeline to possession on either phase, it's worth understanding the developer's transfer policy for a pre-possession sale before you commit, typically involving a transfer fee and the developer's written consent. Confirm this explicitly at booking rather than assuming standard resale rules apply, since terms can differ between phases of the same overall project, not just between different developers.

Given the wide configuration and price range across this project, from a 67 lakh rupee studio to a villa well past 5 crore, the resale liquidity you can expect also varies meaningfully by configuration, and a smaller unit in a well-connected corridor like this one will generally see faster resale turnover than a large villa at the top of the price range.

A Due Diligence Checklist Specific to This Project

Confirm specifically which phase, Phase 1 or Phase 2, any quoted price, tower, or configuration refers to, given how frequently listings blend the two together.

Verify both RERA numbers independently on the Karnataka RERA portal rather than trusting a single listing site's presentation of either.

Ask for the current total project scope, combined acreage, unit count, and tower count across both phases, in writing, given how widely these figures vary across sources.

Confirm whether quoted sizes are carpet area or super built-up area before comparing this project against any alternative.

Ask specifically whether Phase 1 and Phase 2 will share amenities and governance, or operate as effectively separate developments.

Get the current official cost sheet for your specific phase, tower, and configuration rather than relying on a launch-era or third-party-quoted price.

Documents to Collect Before You Register

Request the RERA registration certificate for the specific phase you're buying into, the approved building plan for that specific tower, the draft sale agreement with its payment schedule and possession-delay penalty clauses, and the project's land title documentation. Our guide to property registration in Karnataka covers the Kaveri portal process and stamp duty calculation for the eventual registration step, and running the current stamp duty and registration cost through an up-to-date stamp duty calculator gives you a realistic total transaction cost rather than just the headline unit price. Since this project will eventually need Khata documentation at possession, understanding the difference between a Khata certificate and a Khata extract now is worth doing before you're under time pressure at registration.

Property Tax and Civic Administration

Once units here reach possession, property tax and civic administration will run through whichever authority covers this stretch of East Bangalore under Karnataka's 2025 restructuring of BBMP into the Greater Bengaluru Authority and five city corporations. Our full breakdown of the BBMP-to-GBA transition covers what changed and what buyers specifically need to verify, relevant here just as it is across every Bangalore growth corridor currently working through this administrative transition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Sattva Songbird Phase 1 and Phase 2 the same project?

They're part of the same overall development but have separate RERA registrations, separate launch dates roughly eighteen months apart, and different pricing and configuration mixes. Confirm which phase any specific price or unit refers to before treating them as interchangeable.

What are the RERA numbers for this project?

Phase 1 is registered under PRM/KA/RERA/1251/446/PR/060924/007008. Phase 2 carries a separate registration, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/270326/008557. Verify both directly on the Karnataka RERA portal.

Why do sources disagree so much on total acreage and unit count?

Reported figures range from roughly 12 to 16.4 acres and 1,321 to 1,760 units. Some of this likely reflects sources describing only one phase while presenting it as the whole project. Ask the developer for the current combined scope in writing.

What configurations are available?

Across both phases, the project offers Studio, 1, 2, 2.5, and 3 BHK apartments and 4 BHK villas or row houses, though Phase 2 specifically offers only 2 and 3 BHK units at a higher price point than Phase 1's full range.

When is possession expected?

Most sources cite May 2029 for Phase 1, based on the RERA-registered timeline, with at least one source noting an internally targeted completion around December 2028. Phase 2, being newer, likely has its own separate timeline. Confirm directly for your specific phase.

Is this a good fit for a first-time buyer on a tighter budget?

Phase 1's studio and 1 BHK units, starting around 67 lakh rupees, are more accessible than Phase 2's 2 and 3 BHK units starting near 1.46 crore. Budget-conscious buyers should specifically ask about current Phase 1 availability rather than assuming Phase 2 pricing applies project-wide.

Twenty years of doing this in Bangalore has shown that a two-phase project like this one isn't unusual, but the confusion it creates across listing sites is avoidable if you ask one specific question upfront: which phase, exactly, are we discussing right now. Get that answer in writing before any other number on this page or anywhere else starts to matter.

None of this is unique to this one developer or this one corridor. It's a pattern worth applying to any pre-launch or under-construction project you're considering across Bangalore: the specific facts that matter to your decision, RERA status, current pricing, phase-specific timelines, are worth getting directly from the source, in writing, before a single number from any listing site becomes the basis for a decision this size.
