Base price is the number buyers remember, and it is rarely the number they pay. A cost sheet turns a quoted rate into a landed cost, and at Sobha Athena that distinction matters because the project's price is shared on request rather than published. Before you compare this tower against anything else on Thanisandra Main Road, understand what sits above the base figure and what the Karnataka RERA registration already fixes.

Start with what is certain. Every home here is a 3 BHK of 1,682 to 1,718 sq ft saleable built-up area, in four unit types across 19 residential floors, 72 homes in total. Carpet area averages roughly 1,147 sq ft, with about 46 sq ft of exclusive balcony per home. Those figures are declared in the RERA filing — 7,671 sq m of aggregate carpet area, 307 sq m of balcony and 29 sq m of open terrace across the project — so they cannot move after booking. The rate applied to the saleable area is what varies by floor, facing and outlook. See the price page for the full detail.

Goods and Services Tax comes next. An under-construction home attracts GST at the applicable rate for residential property, and since the registered completion date is 30 September 2027, homes booked today fall on the under-construction side of that line. Buyers who wait until after the Occupancy Certificate is issued avoid GST but typically pay a higher base rate, because the developer has absorbed the carrying cost in the meantime. Neither route is automatically cheaper; the comparison has to be run on the full number.

Stamp duty and registration charges follow, payable to the Government of Karnataka at the prevailing rates on the agreement value. These are statutory, so no developer or intermediary can reduce them. Budget for them separately rather than folding them into the loan calculation, since most lenders fund the property and not the duty.

Then there are the project-level items that the cost sheet itemises individually: parking, club or township membership, the maintenance deposit payable at possession, and BESCOM and BWSSB connection charges. The RERA registration records eight parking slots offered for sale across 110 sq m, so parking arrangements should be confirmed in writing at booking rather than assumed. Ask for each line separately; a single lumped figure hides what is negotiable and what is not.

One rule applies regardless of who you buy through. Booking amounts and all subsequent payments go only into the RERA-designated project account named in the registration, PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/200526/003430. That provision exists to keep buyer money inside the project, and it is the single most useful protection the law gives you.

Our team sends the current cost sheet with every line set out — base, taxes, statutory charges, deposits and the construction-linked payment schedule — so you compare a landed cost rather than a headline. Ask for it alongside the plan set for the unit type you are considering.

FAQs

  1. Does the quoted price include GST and registration?
    No. The quoted figure covers the home itself, and GST, stamp duty and registration charges are listed separately in the cost sheet.

  2. Is parking included in the price?
    The RERA registration records eight parking slots offered for sale across 110 sq m. Confirm the parking arrangement for your specific unit in writing at the time of booking.

  3. What is the Sobha Athena total cost for a 3 BHK?
    It depends on the unit, since floor level and facing move the base rate. Our team shares the landed cost for whichever homes are open at the time of your enquiry.

  4. Where should the booking amount be paid?
    Only into the RERA-designated project account named in registration PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/200526/003430. Never into any other account.
