Adarsh Bellahalli Master Plan — Six Acres, Four Blocks
The Adarsh Bellahalli master plan places four Ground+15 blocks on a six-acre parcel fronting Bellahalli Main Road, with roughly a quarter to three-tenths of the site under building footprint and the balance released to landscape, circulation, amenity and below-ground infrastructure. Around 480 apartments are distributed across the four blocks at approximately seven to eight homes per floor plate. For another Bengaluru planning reference, Address Maker Apollo helps keep attention on density, circulation, landscape depth, and the way residents will move through the community.
Adarsh Bellahalli site plan
Land use
| Element | Indicative allocation |
|---|---|
| Total site | 6 acres (~261,360 sq ft) |
| Tower footprint | ~25 – 30% |
| Landscape and open space | ~45 – 50% |
| Internal roads, drop-offs and hard circulation | ~12 – 15% |
| Clubhouse and amenity built form | ~5 – 8% |
| Utilities, STP, transformer yard, service access | ~3 – 5% |
At 480 homes on six acres the density is roughly 80 apartments per acre. The current high-rise launches on Thanisandra Main Road and the Hennur arc run 110 to 130 per acre. That gap is not an abstraction — it is the difference between a pool that is usable at 7 a.m. and one that is not, between a visitor parking bay that exists and one that is theoretical, and between a landscape budget spread across a wide site and one squeezed into the residue between towers.
Building placement
Four blocks on six acres gives the planner something a two-acre infill site never has: the freedom to position each tower independently rather than pack them onto a shared podium grid.
The blocks are arranged around a central landscaped spine rather than in a row along the frontage. This has three consequences. First, no block looks directly into another at close range — inter-block setbacks are generous enough to preserve privacy and sightlines from the middle floors upward. Second, every block has direct pedestrian access to the central green and to the clubhouse without crossing a vehicular road. Third, the arrangement lets the majority of floor plates take a north–south orientation, which in Bengaluru's climate is the difference between a west-facing living room that is unusable from three to six in the afternoon and one that is not.
The Bellahalli Main Road frontage carries the arrival sequence: a set-back entry court, a gatehouse with boom barriers, and a covered drop-off at the primary lobby. Service and waste access is separated onto its own approach so that refuse and delivery vehicles never share the resident arrival route.
Ground+15 is the height decision, and it is a considered one. Sixteen levels gives real elevation — from the upper floors the sightlines run north over the Yelahanka green belt and the airport corridor, and east toward Thanisandra — without incurring the costs a 30- or 40-storey stack imposes: longer lift waits, more complex water and air pressurisation, higher common-area maintenance per home, slower evacuation, and a firefighting strategy that depends on equipment the city's fire service has in limited supply.
Green belt and open space
Close to half the site is landscape. That allocation is what six acres at 480 homes buys, and the master plan spends it on a connected system rather than on scattered pockets.
The central green spine is the organising element: a continuous landscaped corridor running between the four blocks and terminating at the clubhouse. It carries the main pedestrian route through the site, so a resident walking from their block to the pool or the gym does so under tree canopy rather than along a kerb.
Around the spine sit the differentiated zones — an open multipurpose lawn sized for a gathering, a children's play area with soft-fall surfacing and a separate toddlers' zone, a senior citizens' seating court placed away from the play noise and close to a block entrance, a reflexology path, an amphitheatre stepped into a level change, and a pet-friendly zone at the site edge.
The perimeter jogging and walking loop runs the boundary, which on a six-acre site gives a circuit of meaningful length — long enough to run rather than to pace. Planting is layered: specimen trees for canopy along the spine and the loop, flowering and ornamental species around the amenity zones, and screening planting along the service edge and the transformer yard.
Roads and circulation
The circulation strategy is vehicles down early, pedestrians above.
A single controlled vehicular entry from Bellahalli Main Road passes the gatehouse and drops almost immediately to the basement parking levels. Resident traffic therefore does not circulate across the site at grade. What remains above ground is a peripheral fire-tender and service road at the mandated width and turning radii, the covered drop-offs at each block lobby, and visitor parking bays near the entry.
The consequence is that the interior of the site — the spine, the lawns, the play areas, the amenity frontages — is pedestrian-first. A child walking from a block to the play area does not cross a live carriageway. This is straightforward planning, but it is only available when the site is wide enough to put parking below rather than around.
Fire tender access is maintained to every block on the peripheral loop, with hardstanding at the designated points and turning circles sized to Karnataka Fire and Emergency Services requirements.
Pedestrian movement and landscape design
Every block lobby connects to the central spine by a shaded walkway. The walkways are laid to a continuous level where possible, with ramped transitions rather than steps at grade changes, so that the site is navigable with a pram, a wheelchair or a wheeled suitcase.
Lighting is designed as a layer of the landscape rather than an afterthought: bollards along the walkways, uplighting on specimen trees, and higher-level lighting only where the loop meets the service road. The intent is a site that is comfortable to walk at nine in the evening without being floodlit.
Below-ground infrastructure
The basement and podium levels carry the parking allocation, at a ratio appropriate to the configuration mix — with 3 and 4 BHK homes in the plan, a meaningful proportion of households will hold two cars, and the plan is sized for that rather than for a single-car assumption. Provision for EV charging is built into the basement layout rather than retrofitted, which matters because retrofitting EV capacity into a completed basement is one of the most expensive things a Bengaluru association can be asked to do.
Also below ground or at the service edge: the domestic and fire water tanks, the pump rooms, the transformer yard and DG enclosures, the STP, and the segregated waste handling area with the organic waste converter.
Sustainability infrastructure
| System | Specification |
|---|---|
| Sewage treatment plant | Sized for full occupancy, with treated water reused into landscape irrigation and toilet flushing |
| Rainwater harvesting | Across the full site catchment, with recharge structures, per BWSSB requirements for this footprint |
| Power backup | DG capacity covering all common areas plus a backup allocation to every apartment |
| Solar | Common-area and landscape lighting |
| Waste management | Organic waste converter at source; segregated dry-waste handling and storage |
| EV charging | Provision built into basement parking levels |
| Lighting | LED throughout common areas |
| Water metering | Individual metering per apartment |
The STP with treated-water reuse is the load-bearing piece. A six-acre landscape with close to half the site planted has a real irrigation demand, and in a Bengaluru summer that demand cannot be met from potable supply without either a large water bill or a dead landscape. Closing the loop — treating the community's own sewage and irrigating with the output — is what makes the master plan's green allocation sustainable in operation rather than only on the drawing.
Rainwater harvesting across the catchment does the complementary job on the input side, recharging groundwater and reducing dependence on tanker supply during the dry months, which in this part of North Bengaluru is a live operational concern rather than a compliance checkbox.
What to verify at launch
The master plan described here is drawn from the sanctioned scheme parameters — six acres, four blocks, Ground+15, approximately 480 units — and from Adarsh's planning conventions on comparable projects. The specific allocations, the amenity positions and the parking ratio are finalised in the sanctioned plan filed with the Karnataka RERA registration.
When that registration is published, three documents are worth reading before booking: the sanctioned plan (confirms block positions, setbacks and the open-space allocation), the specification sheet (confirms parking ratio, STP capacity and DG allocation per apartment), and the common-area schedule (confirms which amenities are in the handed-over scope rather than shown indicatively).
