Lodha Azur

Lodha Azur

We recently visited Lodha Azur, a residential project located off Bannerghatta Main Road, beside Hulimavu Lake Road. This is a joint venture between Lodha Group and House of Hiranandani, coming up on a 33-acre land parcel, of which 10.5 acres are currently being developed by Lodha.

The project includes five residential towers (A to E), with scope for a future sixth tower (F). Positioned near key institutions and upcoming metro connectivity, Lodha Azur is being planned as a community-oriented space, with an emphasis on family living and integrated amenities.

Entry and exit to the development will be shared by both Lodha and HoH, via a 60-ft-wide external approach road, which continues as a 60-ft internal spine through the site.

The residential component currently a total of 550 units. A future sixth tower will bring the total up to 650 units.

• Towers B, C, and D launched between March and June 2024, collectively house 360 units across 3, 3.5, and 4 BHK configurations. These towers feature 4 units per floor and are almost sold out, with only about 10% inventory remaining. Notably, the 4 BHK units here are designed to offer lake-facing views.

• Towers A and E, launched more recently, offer only 3 and 3.5 BHK units. In Tower A, only the 3.5 BHKs will face the lake, while Tower E offers views of internal amenities and is intended to be a more budget-conscious option. Both towers follow the same format of 4 units per floor.

All towers will be equipped with 3 resident elevators + 1 service lift from Otis, Schindler, or an equivalent brand, and 2 staircases per core. The parking structure is tiered, with three levels (G+1+2) at the rear, while the front includes a lobby space that can be used for guest interactions or informal gatherings.

Tower heights:

• Tower A : G+35 floors

• Towers B to D : G+30 floors

• Tower E: G+23 floors

Lodha Azur features a 20,000+ sq. ft greek themed clubhouse named “Club Palladio" designed to support both leisure and functional needs. It includes indoor and outdoor cafes, dedicated work-from-home stations, and is managed by Saint Amand, an in-house hospitality service. The clubhouse also houses a well-equipped gym and two indoor badminton courts.

Outdoor amenities include two temperature-controlled swimming pools, a children’s play area, leisure seating zones for the elderly, a multipurpose sports lawn, and a 200-metre running track. The project also includes a dedicated pet park and a temple within the premises.

We toured the 4 BHK model flat at Lodha Azur to get a closer look at the planned layout and finishes. The unit begins with a foyer that offers a degree of privacy from the main entrance. This leads into a spacious living and dining area designed as a continuous open space.

The living and dining space is well-ventilated, opens to the balcony, and features natural marble flooring.

Balcony 1 runs along the entire living and dining area, with ceramic tiles in a wooden finish.

The kitchen and separate utility area are distinctly divided, with vitrified tile flooring.

The unit has four washrooms; this is the common one. Fixtures are from Kohler or an equivalent brand, and the flooring is done with anti-skid or Dodo tiles.

The master bedroom includes a private balcony, a walk-in wardrobe, an attached washroom, and natural marble flooring.

Bedroom 2 features 8 ft tall windows, an attached washroom, and vitrified tile flooring.

Bedroom 3 comes with 8 ft tall windows and is finished with vitrified tile flooring.

The fourth bedroom is designed with 8 ft tall windows and comes with an attached washroom.

Construction Approach: Hybrid Mivan with In-House Execution

The construction follows a hybrid method using both Mivan and conventional (brick) techniques—Mivan for the external walls and brickwork for the internal ones. All construction is managed in-house, with no external contractors involved. The project’s architecture is designed by Hafeez Architectures.

Safety, Security & Smart Home Features

• Video door phone system

• CCTV surveillance across common areas

• Gas leakage detectors in the kitchen

• Central gas pipeline (GAIL)

• 25 EV charging points across the premises

• Smoke detectors and sprinkler systems in flats and common areas

• Fire extinguishers placed at designated points

Water Supply

The project is currently supported by three borewells, with a Cauvery water connection planned for future implementation. Drinking water is supplied through a dedicated pipeline connected to each unit.

Power Backup

The project provides DG power backup of 6 kW for 3 and 3.5 BHK units, and 7 kW for 4 BHK units. In the event of a power outage, the generator ensures 100% backup for common areas as well as essential loads like lights and fans within each unit.

Proximity & Connectivity

• Metro: Nearest metro station at Royal Meenakshi Mall, approx. 3 km away

• Educational Institutions: IIM Bangalore, Christ University, Dayananda Sagar University, Greenwood High, Podar International School, and Orchids International School are within a 6–12 km radius (20–30 min drive)

• Hospitals: Major healthcare centers like Apollo, Fortis, Jayadeva, and RV Hospital lie within 5–8 km (20–30 min drive)

• Retail & Commercial Hubs: Easy access to Royal Meenakshi Mall, Vega City Mall, Electronic City, and IBC Knowledge Park—within 3.5–12 km (approx. 20–30 min drive)

Project Highlights

• 80% open space within the development

• Thoughtfully designed spaces catering to all age groups

• Multiple approach routes offering convenient access from various parts of the city

Key Considerations

While the project offers multiple approach routes, the stretch connecting Kudlu to Bommanahalli often experiences traffic congestion, especially during peak hours, which can be a concern for daily commuters. Additionally, the immediate vicinity is largely residential with no major tech parks nearby reaching areas like Whitefield may require a longer commute.

Conclusion

Lodha Azur stands out as a thoughtfully designed residential development in a promising location, backed by a reputed builder. With well-planned layouts, strong community-focused amenities, and quality construction, it makes a strong case for end-users looking for long-term value and a comfortable living environment.
