Location

✦ Why Location Decides Long-Term Asset Value

Location is key for the lifetime value of any luxury home. The quality of the facade, the planning of amenities, specification of the fit-out among several other variables are things that can be upgraded, retrofitted or redesigned over a 20 year holding period. Location? Not possible. Century Astoria Jakkur location is right on NH 44 in North Bangalore. It’s an address that gives arterial connectivity and the breathing space that more central addresses gave up a decade ago. The micro-zone is defined by well established Hebbal to the south, rapidly expanding Yelahanka to the north, the airport belt passing through its spine and Jakkur Lake on the eastern boundary.

Whoever is studying the Century Astoria location Jakkur footprint against Hebbal, Yelahanka or Devanahalli options should be aware of a structural benefit not listed on any brochure – the micro-market is architecturally protected by the height envelope around Jakkur Aerodrome. A specific area around the aerodrome can only be developed to regulated heights so you do not see a dense, uniform wall of mid-rise blocks here around Jakkur. The view from these towers is resilient in a way that matters where you have good resale value over a 10-15 year horizon.

✦ The NH-44 Corridor and Toll-Bypass Routing

The western boundary of the residential land is formed by Bellary Road which gives direct connectivity from the airport to the city centre via NH 44. The Jakkur Bellary Road connectivity has multiple layered advantages. This is a service road network for residents moving into central Bangalore, bypassing the NICE Road toll and the worst of the Hebbal flyover traffic. Travel during peak hours is still predictable and not too punishing. It is the quiet luxury of the old central addresses which were lost when the city’s network of roads overgrew the capacity of 2010.

Another advantage of Century Astoria location Jakkur is the larger airport zone commercial belt that has matured over the last five years. Kirloskar Business Park, Manyata Tech Park, Prestige Tech Cloud, KIADB Aerospace SEZ and the proposed IFCI Financial City all lie within an arc of 7 - 22 km creating a very strong employment base driving rental absorption and end user demand. Distance from Manyata Tech Park is just about 8 km when you use signal free roads from Century Astoria. Outside of peak windows, the commute will take about 15 to 20 minutes.

✦ Airport Access and the Aerodrome Advantage

The toll-bypass route on NH-44 from Jakkur to Kempegowda International Airport is 20 km long. This is the most meaningful number on the location sheet for the HNI shopper who travels a lot. A 20 km drive to the airport at around 30 to 40 minutes beats a 12 km drive through congested infill roads in 50 minutes or more. Another plus point is the proximity to Jakkur Aerodrome, which is just 3 km away, for those who own private aircraft or charter services for business travel. It also enforces the height restriction envelope that protects skyline value, which is the major reason why the Century Astoria location Jakkur is well protected in terms of architecture.

✦ Schools, Hospitals, and Lifestyle Anchors Within 10 km

The question of how to reach Jakkur from Hebbal is something that you see most people ask at a site visit, and the answer for this is also simple. Well, the drive is only 9 km via the Hebbal flyover and Bellary Road stretch, with a 15 to 25 minutes travel times depending on the hour of day you choose to travel. Schools, hospitals and retail spots are all within 10 km too. Families moving in from other Indian cities or returning from overseas postings and admitting their children in these schools prefer international schools like Stonehill, Canadian International, Mallya Aditi and Vidyashilp, all of which are K-12. Tier-1 healthcare spaces like Aster CMI Hospital, Manipal Hospital Hebbal and Cytecare Hospital are within a 8-10 km range. For premium retail and dining, Phoenix Mall of Asia, RMZ Galleria and Forum 13 Degree North are just few minutes away from your home.

The Century Astoria neighbourhood map and landmarks geography is varied and large and fully visible for you to experience fully. Yelahanka Junction is 7 km away, Outer Ring Road is accessible within 10 km via uncongested road ways and the upcoming metro station, planned within the Century Immencity township, will be integrated into the larger Namma Metro Phase 2 expansion. Each of these reduces dependence on one single road. And that is the planning principle of the modern luxury location: redundancy of access, not just proximity to a single zone.
