In Avalahalli, part of the wider Yelahanka corridor, Vajram Chrysanthemum pushes the low-density format further than most of its Yelahanka competitors: just 115 exclusive units across 3.3 acres, at roughly 35 units per acre. This is a deep-dive review covering the developer, the location, unit sizes and specifications, pricing, possession, RERA status, how it stacks up against its own sibling project, and our honest assessment of its investment merit. We've updated this review with the latest details from the project's own listing, including specification-level information not covered in our original write-up.
1. The Developer: Vajram Group
Vajram Group (formerly Salarpuria Vajram) is a Bengaluru-based developer known for design-led residential communities across the city. Chrysanthemum is the second Vajram boutique project we've reviewed on the Yelahanka corridor after Vajram Vivera on Kogilu Main Road, and the two share a clear family resemblance: both are pitched as low-density, boutique alternatives to the high-rise, high-unit-count towers that dominate this stretch of North Bengaluru.
What's worth noting is how deliberately Chrysanthemum is positioned relative to Vivera rather than as a standalone launch. Vivera runs at roughly 55 units per acre across 6.2 acres and leans on scale, an IGBC Platinum Pre-Certified clubhouse and a 4 BHK option; Chrysanthemum runs leaner still at roughly 35 units per acre across a smaller 3.3-acre footprint, drops the 4 BHK tier entirely, and prices meaningfully below its sibling. That reads less like two unrelated products and more like a developer testing two distinct price-and-density points in the same micro-market within months of each other, worth keeping in mind if you're comparing the two before booking.
2. Location: Avalahalli, Yelahanka
Vajram Chrysanthemum is located in Avalahalli, a BDA (Bangalore Development Authority) developed neighbourhood within the Yelahanka corridor, North Bengaluru. A BDA-developed layout typically means the roads, drainage and basic civic infrastructure around the site were planned and approved by a government development authority rather than left entirely to a single private layout, which is a meaningful, if easy to overlook, difference from a purely private, unapproved plotted extension. Key proximity metrics from the project's own listing:
- RMZ Galleria Office: ~6.4 km, the nearest large commercial office address to the project
- Yelahanka Railway Station: ~7.7 km
- Upcoming Yelahanka Metro Station: ~7.2 km, on the Namma Metro Blue Line extension into North Bengaluru
- Kempegowda International Airport: ~26 km, a factor for both airport-adjacent employment and frequent-flyer convenience
- BMS Institute of Technology: ~1.1 km, the closest listed institution to the project
- Vishwa Vidyapeeth School: ~1.9 km · Mallya Aditi International School: ~5 km
- Manipal Hospital: ~8.1 km · Cytecare Hospital: ~9.2 km
Read together, the profile is that of a residential-first location rather than a commercial one: the nearest school is under 2 km, but the nearest large office campus and metro station both sit beyond 6 km. That's a reasonable trade for a family prioritising a quiet, low-density home base over a short office commute, and less ideal for a buyer whose main criterion is walking or a five-minute drive to a tech park. Worth factoring in before booking on location alone.
3. The Project: What You Actually Get
The project spans 3.3 acres with just 115 exclusive residences, a density of roughly 35 units per acre, even lower than Vajram Vivera's already-low 55 units per acre. 80% of the land is kept as open, landscaped space, with a high Undivided Share of Land (~55%) and a 14,000+ Sq.Ft clubhouse. Amenities are organised into three zones:
- Sports & Active: rooftop swimming pool, indoor badminton court, pickleball court, indoor and outdoor gym
- Nature & Wellness: biophilic design elements, a reflexology path, herbal and aroma gardens, healing yards
- Community & Work: a co-working lounge, multipurpose hall, community kitchen and BBQ area, and dedicated pet parks
The pattern across all three zones is the same: this isn't a project chasing an amenity headcount for a marketing brochure. A rooftop pool and a co-working lounge serve a specific kind of resident, someone who works partly from home and wants wellness-oriented common spaces, more than they serve a generic "50+ amenities" checklist. It's a coherent positioning choice, even if it means the amenity list reads shorter than some competing high-rise launches.
Unit Sizes
Vajram Chrysanthemum offers 3 & 3.5 BHK configurations exclusively: large-format layouts with substantial balconies. 3 BHK units span 2,237 to 2,449 sq.ft. (super built-up); 3.5 BHK units span 2,573 to 2,630 sq.ft. There is no compact or 2 BHK option here; every unit is built for space over density, which also means this project isn't a fit for a buyer specifically shopping for a smaller, lower-ticket entry point in the Yelahanka corridor.
Specifications
Beyond the headline density and amenity numbers, the build specifications listed for the project are worth a look for anyone evaluating construction quality against the asking price:
- Structure: Seismic Zone II compliant RCC structure with solid block masonry walls
- Flooring: premium vitrified tiles in the living and dining areas, anti-skid ceramic tiles in balconies, and laminated wooden flooring in the master bedroom
- Doors & Windows: engineered wood door frames with UPVC or aluminium sliding windows fitted with mosquito mesh
- Electrical & Security: concealed copper wiring, 100% DG (diesel generator) backup for common areas, and CCTV surveillance with an intercom facility
None of this is unusual for a project in this price band, but it's a reasonably complete, mid-to-premium specification sheet: solid-block masonry and copper wiring rather than the cheapest available alternatives, and 100% DG backup on common areas specifically (worth asking whether that extends to individual units, since brochures don't always spell that out clearly).
4. Pricing
| Configuration | Super Built-up Area | Approx. Price |
|---|---|---|
| 3 BHK | 2,237 – 2,449 sq.ft. | ₹1.96 – 2.60 Cr |
| 3.5 BHK | 2,573 – 2,630 sq.ft. | ₹2.25 – 2.86 Cr |
*Minimum down payment starts at approx. ₹25 Lakhs (incl. taxes). Estimated monthly maintenance: ₹13,554 – ₹15,510. Contact us for verified current pricing and availability.
At roughly ₹8,800-10,600 per sq.ft. across its two configurations, Chrysanthemum prices meaningfully below Vajram Vivera's ~₹14,200-14,700 per sq.ft. on Kogilu Main Road, a real gap worth understanding before choosing between the two. Some of that difference likely reflects Vivera's larger clubhouse footprint and IGBC Platinum certification, versus Chrysanthemum's smaller but still substantial 14,000+ sq.ft clubhouse; some of it may simply reflect Avalahalli being a step removed from the Kogilu Main Road frontage. Either way, buyers comparing the two shouldn't assume "same developer, same price band": see our side-by-side comparison for the full picture.
On the payment structure, the roughly ₹25 Lakh minimum down payment (inclusive of taxes) is a meaningful upfront commitment even by the standards of a ₹2 Cr-plus purchase, and the estimated ₹13,554-15,510 monthly maintenance should be factored into your total cost of ownership, not treated as a footnote. For a large-format home like this, maintenance in that range is broadly in line with what a 14,000+ sq.ft clubhouse and low-density common-area upkeep would cost to run, but it's still worth budgeting for separately from the EMI.
5. Possession Timeline
Vajram Chrysanthemum is currently under construction, with an estimated possession of Mid 2029: the same timeline Vajram has quoted for Vivera, consistent with both being early-stage launches from the same developer group, and subject to RERA-mandated updates as construction progresses. A Mid-2029 possession means this is a multi-year hold before you can move in or start renting the unit out, so it suits a buyer planning ahead of a life event (children starting school, a planned relocation) or an investor comfortable with a multi-year horizon, more than someone who needs a home within the next year or two.
6. Legal and RERA Verification
At Luxura Habitat, no project recommendation is made before legal verification. For Vajram Chrysanthemum:
- Project RERA Number: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/472/PR/031125/008217
- Status: RERA-registered, under construction
- Advertiser/Agent RERA: This listing is marketed by an Authorized Channel Partner / RERA Authorised Advertiser (Karnataka: PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/AG/170823/000045)
We encourage all prospective buyers to independently verify this registration number on the official Karnataka RERA website before finalising a booking, a step we recommend regardless of developer reputation. Note that Vajram Vivera carries its own, separate registration number (PRM/KA/RERA/1251/472/PR/030325/007539); don't confuse the two when verifying, since both projects share a developer and a similar-looking registration prefix.
Beyond simply checking that a number exists, a RERA registration for an under-construction project like this one is what obliges the developer to keep buyer funds ring-fenced for this specific project, disclose the actual carpet area and layout accurately, and register a completion timeline that carries financial consequences if it slips. It's a floor on protection, not a substitute for your own independent title and encumbrance check on the specific unit you're booking.
7. Who This Project Actually Suits
Drawing on the project's own stated positioning and what we've verified independently, Vajram Chrysanthemum is built for a fairly specific buyer profile rather than a broad one. It suits families and HNI buyers who want a large-format 3 or 3.5 BHK home with genuine privacy and low density, and who are comfortable trading amenity scale and airport proximity for that. Its high Undivided Share of Land (~55%) and low unit count are also the two structural factors most likely to support resale value over time in a market where UDS is increasingly scrutinised by second buyers and their lenders. Its proximity to RMZ Galleria and the upcoming Yelahanka Metro Station gives it a reasonable, if not exceptional, rental catchment among working professionals once construction completes.
It's a weaker fit for buyers who specifically want a compact 2 BHK entry point, need possession within the next two to three years, or are prioritising walk-to-work distance from a tech park over space and privacy.
8. Chrysanthemum vs. Vivera: The Short Version
Since the two are so frequently shortlisted together, here is the comparison distilled to what actually differs between them:
| Attribute | Vajram Chrysanthemum | Vajram Vivera |
|---|---|---|
| Location | Avalahalli, Yelahanka | Kogilu Main Road |
| Land Area | 3.3 Acres | 6.2 Acres |
| Density | ~35 Units/Acre | ~55 Units/Acre |
| Configurations | 3 & 3.5 BHK | 3 & 4 BHK |
| Open Space | 80% | 85% |
| Clubhouse | 14,000+ Sq.Ft | Larger, IGBC Platinum Pre-Certified |
| Approx. Price/Sq.Ft | ₹8,800 – 10,600 | ₹14,200 – 14,700 |
| Possession | Mid 2029 | Mid 2029 |
In short: Vivera trades a lower density-per-acre discount for a larger clubhouse, a 4 BHK option and IGBC Platinum certification, at a materially higher per-square-foot price. Chrysanthemum pushes density even lower and prices well below its sibling, but caps out at 3.5 BHK and a smaller clubhouse. Neither is objectively "better"; it comes down to whether the extra amenity scale and unit-size ceiling at Vivera is worth the price premium for your specific needs. Our full Vivera vs. Chrysanthemum comparison goes deeper into the amenities, layouts and connectivity trade-offs.
Our Honest Assessment
Vajram Chrysanthemum's clearest point of differentiation is density taken to its logical extreme: 115 units across 3.3 acres, with no compact configurations diluting the low-density pitch; every home here is 3 BHK or larger. That positioning, combined with a genuinely lower entry price than its Vajram sibling on Kogilu Main Road, makes it a strong option for buyers prioritising space and privacy over amenity scale or brand-name frontage. The build specifications, seismic-compliant RCC structure, vitrified and laminated wood flooring, concealed copper wiring, 100% common-area DG backup, read as solid rather than cut-rate for the price band.
The trade-off is a smaller clubhouse, a location a step further from the Kogilu Main Road corridor and roughly 26 km from the airport, and no compact-unit option for buyers on a tighter budget. As an under-construction project with a Mid-2029 possession, the usual diligence applies: verify current construction progress directly, confirm the RERA registration (PRM/KA/RERA/1251/472/PR/031125/008217) independently on the Karnataka RERA portal, and check the encumbrance and title documents for your specific unit before booking.
