Kalyani Developers publishes the acreage, the tower count, the amenities and dated construction photographs for LivingTree. What it does not publish anywhere is a RERA registration number — and that is the one thing you should not buy without.

What Kalyani does publish

To be fair to the builder, its project page is more informative than many. Kalyani states LivingTree is a 25-acre community of ten 24-floored towers at Bagalur, about 15 minutes from the international airport, with over 60 amenities including a spa, kids’ play area, multipurpose court, swimming pool, gym and open gardens.

More usefully, it publishes dated construction updates — building by building, running through July 2026 and covering Buildings 1 to 6. That is a genuine disclosure and more than most Bengaluru developers offer on a public page.

What is absent: any price, any unit count, any configuration list, any completion date, and any RERA registration number.

That pattern is worth reading. A builder who publishes construction photographs is comfortable being checked on progress — photographs are the easiest claim in real estate to falsify against reality, because anyone can drive there. A builder who omits the registration number is more likely to have a website nobody has updated than a secret. The two omissions sit oddly together, which is itself a reason to ask rather than assume.

Why the registration is the one that matters

Everything else on that list can be worked around. You can ask for a price. You can count towers. The registration cannot be substituted, because it is the document the law attaches your protections to.

The filing carries the declared completion date, which is what delay compensation is measured against. It carries the sanctioned unit count and approved plan, which limit what can be changed without your consent. It identifies the promoter entity that will actually sign your agreement. And it lists the promoter’s other registered projects, which lets you check their record.

Without it you have a brochure and some photographs. With it you have a set of legally declared facts. The difference is not small, and it costs you nothing to insist on.

The number that circulates

Secondary sources give PRM/KA/RERA/1251/309/PR/260924/007084 for LivingTree. The embedded date reads 26 September 2024, which is internally consistent with a project whose first six buildings were under construction by mid-2026.

We could not confirm that number against Kalyani, so we have not treated it as established — and neither should you. A registration number you found online is a starting point for a question, not a substitute for the builder telling you.

The right move is to take it to the sales office and ask: is this the registration for LivingTree, and is it the one covering the tower my unit is in? On a ten-tower project built in phases there may well be more than one. Our guide to checking a Karnataka RERA registration walks through the portal.

Use the construction photographs properly

Kalyani’s dated progress updates are the most useful thing on its site, and almost nobody uses them the way they should be used.

Take the most recent update — July 2026, Buildings 1 to 6 — and go to the site. Does the building in front of you match the building in the photograph? Is it further along, as it should be by now, or does it look the same?

A developer publishing dated progress is making a testable claim. Testing it costs you a Saturday morning and tells you more about delivery risk than any assurance. On a project where no registration number is published, physical progress is the most reliable evidence available to you, so use it rather than admiring it.

What to do before you pay anything

In order, and the first is not optional.

Ask Kalyani for the RERA number in writing, specific to the tower your unit is in. An email will do. If the answer is vague or slow, that is information.

Look it up yourself on the Karnataka RERA portal. Read the declared completion date, the sanctioned unit count and the promoter name.

Check the promoter matches the entity on your draft agreement.

Compare the sanctioned unit count against the reported 2,522. If the filing shows something very different, ask why.

Get the completion date into the agreement. Not “expected”, not “from” — the declared date.

Until all five are done, pay nothing you cannot get back. A refundable expression of interest is fine if you want to hold a unit; a non-refundable booking amount is not.

Is the absence a red flag?

Honestly: not by itself, and we would rather say so than manufacture alarm.

Plenty of registered, perfectly sound Bengaluru projects fail to put the number on their marketing page. It is often an oversight by whoever maintains the website rather than a decision. The construction updates Kalyani does publish, running to July 2026 across six buildings, are not the behaviour of a developer hiding from scrutiny.

But “probably fine” is not a basis for committing forty lakh or more. The registration either exists and covers your tower, in which case the builder can send it to you in a minute, or it does not, in which case you have learned something crucial. There is no scenario where asking costs you anything.

Ask. Then verify. Then buy, if the rest stacks up.

And if a salesperson tells you the registration is “in process”, treat that as a different project entirely. A registration in process means no declared completion date and no sanctioned plan on record, which changes your position materially. Kalyani is building here already, so that answer would be surprising — but if you get it, stop and get it in writing before going any further.

Official figures from Kalyani Developers’ own project page, read 3 October 2026. Items marked reported come from secondary sources and could not be confirmed with the builder. Nothing here is an offer or a contract — verify any registration number on the Karnataka RERA portal.
