The 30 storey Tower is comprised of a mix of large, luxury Branded Residences. Composed of a glazed mass anchored to a stone clad core, the Tower rises as a series of four stacked segments of six storeys each sandwiching recessed floors and articulated with vertical recessed slots to add depth and shadow to the glazed mass. Typical Floors house two units each and feature corner balconies and panoramic views. Duplex Units with dramatic double height Living Rooms are inserted in the lower two segments of the structure. The building culminates in a pair of Duplex Penthouses with Roof Terrace access to individual decks and pools overlooking all of Bengaluru, and is crowned by a palisade of vertical metal fins engaging the sky.

All units are served by individual lift cores and feature quarters for multiple staff members. The Ground Floor houses a Club, Media Room and Gymnasium, and offers access to a private Pool. As with the Hotel Residences housed in the adjacent Hotel Tower, residents would have access to all of the amenities offered by the Four Seasons, Bengaluru Hotel.

Four Seasons homes in Bangalore herald a ritzy real estate trend
Pavitra Jayaraman & Madhurima Nandy

I do have high standards where my living spaces are concerned,” says Raj Chawla, who is among the first set of clients to buy a Four Seasons branded residence in Bangalore. A two-bedroom apartment on the 24th floor of the building that will also house the Four Seasons hotel will be Chawla’s retirement home. “By the time I am 50, I hope,” laughs the 43-year-old, Singapore-based investment banker.

For Chawla, a Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts regular, the choice was a simple one. “Though I don’t live in Bangalore, there is an assurance that I won’t be short-changed because of the brand involved,” he says.

Being built by Westcourt builders in collaboration with Four Seasons, the project, named CityView, stands on a 6.5-acre site north of Palace Grounds on Bellary Road in Bangalore. Of the three buildings, one 30-storey tower will house the hotel along with one- and two-bedroom apartments priced at Rs. 4-7 crore on the top nine floors. The second 30-storey building, labelled the North Tower, will be dedicated entirely to residential spaces, and will have generous three- and four-bedroom apartments priced upwards of Rs. 10 crore.

Designed by Studio u+a, with interiors by Yabu Pushelberg and landscaping by P Landscape, both buildings will include duplex penthouses that will be custom-made for buyers. Each floor in the residential tower will have two units with independent elevators. “The biggest distinction is the service component,” says Westcourt’s president and CEO, Vinay Kapoor. In addition to services such as 24-hour valet parking, concierge services and complex-wide Wi-Fi, all residents will be able to enjoy the hotel’s paid services such as room service, limousines, apartment cleaning services or even supermarket shopping and delivery. “We haven’t yet decided on the price points for these services, and might discount them for residents,” says Christopher Wong, vice-president, development, Asia-Pacific, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. The North Tower will also have a wine room with dual-temperature wine refrigerators, a media room and sports centre independent from the hotel. The residents will also have a discreet entrance to the hotel lobby.

All 110 residences are being marketed by Sotheby’s International Realty, the real estate division of art auction house Sotheby’s, which has entered the Indian real estate market with this project. “The buyers can be categorized as mostly NRIs and Indian executives in the age group of 35-50 years,” says Philip Grant, project director, real estate sales and marketing, Blueprint Global/Sotheby’s International Realty. Grant is on the look out for clients who want to live the high life, which is perhaps why he is scouting for buyers at Sotheby’s global art events. “I would imagine that people with fine taste will appreciate what we have on offer here,” he says.

CityView is expected to be ready in 2012, but the fact that several similar projects are in the pipeline across the country is an indication of a recovery from the economic lull of 2008-09. Property consultants believe that the new concept of high-end, branded residences in India lends a different flavour by mixing both hospitality and residential elements in the same space.

“Developers can easily fetch a premium of 15-20% on the pricing of such residences, and these are good investment options as well,” says Karun Varma, managing director, Jones Lang LaSalle, a property advisory firm.

While the trend is relatively new, developers in Mumbai and Bangalore have begun toying with the idea of building such branded residences.

Mumbai-based Oberoi Realty is in the last stages of finalizing an international hospitality operator for its south Mumbai (Worli) project, where it plans a hotel and branded residences. Bangalore-based Nitesh Estates, which is developing the Ritz Carlton hotel in the city, is planning similar residences for its second Ritz Carlton project in Chennai.

“These residences would be considered in our mixed-use development projects where you can also build a hotel alongside,” says Ashwini Kumar, chief operating officer, Nitesh Estates. Though they won’t come with a hotel, Mumbai will also get its own set of Trump-branded residences, which will be developed through a tie-up between billionaire Donald Trump’s Trump Organization and local developer Rohan Lifescapes. Priced at around Rs. 40,000 per sq. ft, the 60-storey tower will come up on Hughes Road in south Mumbai.

This works out to approx 20,000 Rs/Sq.ft.. Is this a good rate for this area ? Am not from bangalore, so dont know about the price levels in this area.. Considering the amenities and the Four Seasons Brand, I am sure, there must be a significant premium built in for the same in the price...

wonder if this new format would be more suitable for investors or actual users

Westcourt, which is developing Four Seasons hotel and private residences in Bangalore, has already sold 25-30 per cent of the first block of residences on offer. “The hotel wing of the project has 48 residences comprising one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments which we have opened up for sale. We have already sold 25-30 per cent of this,” Mr Vinay Kapoor, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Westcourt, told Business Line. The price tag for these one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments could be anywhere between Rs 4 crore and Rs 7 crore. The residences would be serviced by the project's hospitality operator, Four Seasons. Cityview, the Rs 1,500-crore project which would have commercial, retail, hospitality and residential developments, would also offer larger private residences.

These larger units would be located in a separate wing — North Tower. There would be about 60 such large units — three- and four-bedroom units — would be priced between Rs 6 crore and Rs 12 crore. Those who have bought into are “large corporates including MNCs, non-Bangaloreans, who come to the city on work, and jet-setting Bangaloreans,” said Mr Kapoor. However, he said that there are several more enquiries from Bangaloreans for the larger units. He added that the company was not aggressive on sales, and didn't expect “sales to be all pre-sales and expect it to happen over the next 2-3 years”.

Westcourt would also look at developing other projects across the country “when we get into the final stages of this project”, he explained.

The company would also start discussions with retail players for the retail space in the near future. The project would be completed by 2014, said Mr Kapoor
