SOBHA Limited traces its residential business in Bangalore back to the company's first residential project, Sobha Sapphire in Bangalore, which broke ground in September 1997 and was handed over by 1999. Nearly three decades later, that same quality-first approach shows up in North Bangalore's Jakkur locality through SOBHA HRC Pristine, a gated community built on Opp KV Jairam Rd, off Jakkur Rd, Amruthahalli Main Rd, Jakkuru Layout, Jakkuru, North Bengaluru, with amenities including 24 hrs power backup, clubhouse, gym, swimming pool, cricket pitch and badminton hall. The project reached completion status with construction in progress and completion by March 2023, giving Jakkur one of its few ready-to-move addresses from a listed, national developer.
The project sits on a plot that most public listings place at roughly 8.5 acres, with a total of 381 apartments across 2, 3 and 4 BHK configurations, complemented by row houses on the same parcel. Unit sizes span 1,459 to 4,112 sq. ft., with prices starting from INR 1.64 crore. The layout is organised as 381 apartments and 14 penthouses across 5 towers, each with 2 basements, a ground floor, and 18 or 19 floors. On-ground amenities extend beyond the standard clubhouse-and-pool template to include a meandering stream, a bio-pond, Bird's Nest Coves, and a reflexology trail, alongside a dedicated walking and jogging track, yoga deck, and tennis area. The project carries RERA registrations issued across its four phases, filed as PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/171104/002276, 002270, 002268 and 002267.
What differentiates a SOBHA address from most other options in Jakkur is less about the amenity list and more about how the building itself gets made. Unlike Prestige, Godrej, Brigade, DLF and Oberoi, which outsource interiors, glazing, façades, woodwork and concrete to specialist vendors, Sobha runs all of these in-house through its own factories, and each residential unit undergoes 1,456 quality checks before handover. This model has been in place since the company's earliest years: founded by PNC Menon, who drew on over three decades of Middle East construction experience, the company was launched to address delays, substandard materials and cost overruns common in the sector at the time. SOBHA Limited itself now counts 581 projects across residential, non-residential and commercial spaces, totalling 150.13 million sq. ft., and its Bangalore business alone has become the single largest contributor to company revenue, with Bengaluru contributing 55% of FY26 sales at ₹4,478 crore, the company's historic best.
Jakkur sits on the east side of National Highway 44, between Yelahanka and Hebbal, which places SOBHA HRC Pristine within a short drive of the Embassy Manyata Business Park corridor rather than inside it. Independent project listings put the site's proximity to this IT hub at roughly 2.1 km from the Embassy Manyata Business Park, while the locality itself is a rapidly developing part of north Bangalore situated along the railway line and is home to the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced and Scientific Research, an autonomous institution funded by the Department of Science and Technology. Social infrastructure in the immediate catchment includes DPS, Ryan International School, Canadian International School, and engineering colleges such as BIT, REVA and NITTE, along with hospitals in the Hebbal and Jakkur stretch. Public transport currently relies on Nagawara as the closest metro station, though the Bangalore metro's Blue Line, an ORR-airport corridor, is expected to extend rail connectivity further into North Bangalore in the coming years.
Jakkur's residential price band has moved meaningfully in recent years. Across the locality, flat prices range from roughly Rs 9,450 to Rs 15,900 per sq ft, with the average settling around Rs 12,000 per sq ft, and rates have risen 19.4% in the last one year, 69% over three years, and 101.7% over five years. Within that set, SOBHA's own project has outperformed the neighbourhood: Sobha HRC Pristine appreciated the most in Jakkur, with growth of 10.8% in the last one year, and its transaction rate of roughly Rs 15,950 per sq ft places it at the top end of the local premium bracket, ahead of comparable projects in the same stretch of Amruthahalli-Jakkuru Layout. For a buyer weighing options in this corridor, that combination of an established, backward-integrated developer and a locality still building out its metro and social infrastructure is the core of the SOBHA HRC Pristine proposition in Jakkur.
