High Rise Apartments Bangalore 2026

Published On: 31 July 2026

Bangalore's tallest completed apartment towers stand at Phoenix Kessaku in Rajajinagar. Those five towers rise 30 floors each. The tallest towers currently under construction belong to Sobha One World in Hoskote. Those go up to 46 floors. Between these two ends of the skyline, five more high-rise apartment projects are active across the city right now, including Prestige Falcon City Luxe on Kanakapura Road, South Bangalore.

In Bangalore, most planners treat anything above 20 floor as a genuine high-rise. Below that, its a midrise apartment block, common enough that it barely gets called out separately. Height matters here for more than bragging rights. Taller towers usually mean better ventilation, unobstructed views on the upper floor and a lower footprint per acre, which often leaves more open, green space at ground level. The trade-off is longer construction timelines and stricter fire safety requirements, both worth understanding before you book a unit above the 20th floor.

Prestige Falcon City Luxe

This is the project anchoring this list, and its scale explains why. It sits on Kanakapura Main Road in Konanakunte, South Bangalore. The development spans 41 acres, with 7 towers rising up to G+31 floors, that's 32 storeys counting the ground floor. Total unit count is 2520, spread across 2, 3 and 4 BHK layouts. Sizes run from 1,240 sq. ft. to 2726 sq ft. Entry price starts at ₹1.40 cr, going past ₹3 crore for the largest 4 BHK homes.

The height of the buildings enhances the skyline while providing better views and airflow on upper floors. Prestige has preserved 75 percent of the 41 acres as open space. RERA approval for Phase 1 of the Falcon City township is secured (PRM/KA/RERA/1251/310/PR/170913/000114). The Luxe phase is awaiting its RERA number, expected in April 2026, with the official launch on April 15 2026, and possession starting in August 2031.

Phoenix Kessaku

This one holds the title right now. It's Bangalore's tallest completed, ready-to-move residential development. Located opposite Orion Mall in Rajajinagar, Central Bangalore, Phoenix Kessaku packs five towers, each 30 floors tall, onto just 4 acres. That's an unusually small footprint for towers this height, which keeps the unit count low too, somewhere between 108 and 183 ultra-luxury apartments depending on the exact wing.

Configurations run from 3 to 8 BHK, including duplex residences
4 BHK units start around 6,179 sq. ft.
Prices start above ₹11 crore for 4 BHK homes
The project is complete and has been ready for possession since December 2023

If height and low-density luxury matter more to you than budget, this is the reference point every other project on this list gets measured against.

Sobha One World

Sobha's Hoskote township is chasing the record Phoenix Kessaku currently holds, and it might take it. The full masterplan covers 300 acres in East Bangalore, off Old Madras Road near the Hoskote Toll Plaza. Phase 1 alone runs across 48 acres, with 14 towers rising to 45 or 46 floors. That makes them some of the tallest residential structures currently being built anywhere in the city.

Around 3,484 apartments are planned in this phase, in 1, 2, 3 & 4 BHK configurations. Sizes range from 734 sq ft. to 2415 sq. ft. Prices start from ₹1.09 crore. Construction is underway, and possession is targeted for around 2030 to 2032, depending on the specific tower and phase.

Prestige Southern Star Phase 2

Southern Star Phase 2, located in Akshayanagar off Begur Road in South Bangalore, spans 35 acres with 14 towers rising up to 27 floor. The project offers around 2,130 apartments in 1 to 4 BHK sizes, with prices starting at ₹81.75 lakh. It has full RERA approval and launched on March 22, 2025, with possession expected by September 2029, and is currently under construction.

Prestige Park Ridge

Park Ridge sits on Bannerghatta Road, South Bangalore, and it's the more compact option on this list, at least by unit count. The project covers 25 acres, with 12 towers rising between 18 and 24 floors depending on the source you check. It houses 1,119 apartments, sizes ranging from 650 sq. ft. to 3,750 sq. ft. Entry price starts at ₹85 lakh. Over 80 percent of the land stays open, which is common practice on Bannerghatta Road projects competing for the same green, low-density appeal that Kanakapura Road properties offer just a few kilometres away.

What to Check Before Buying a High-Rise Apartment

Height changes what actually matters in your due diligence, compared to a low-rise flat. Fire safety compliance becomes non negotiable above 15 floors in Karnataka. Ask for the fire NOC and confirm refuge floors exist at regular intervals. Lift to unit ratio matters more too, a 30 floor tower with too few lifts means real waiting time during peak hours, so ask how many lifts serve each wing before you book. Water pressure on upper floors also depends on booster pump capacity, worth a direct question to the sales team rather than assuming it's handled.

Is a High-Rise Apartment Worth Buying in Bangalore?

Do high-rise apartments hold their resale value better?

Generally, yes, particularly on higher floors with clear views. Projects like Phoenix Kessaku show this clearly, resale demand there stays strong years after possession, largely because low unit density and height together are hard to replicate on a newer site nearby.

Are taller towers actually safer to live in?

They can be, provided the builder follows Karnataka's high-rise fire code strictly. Reputed developers like Prestige and Sobha build refuge floors, pressurised staircases, and sprinkler systems as standard on any tower above 20 floors, so brand track record matters more here than in a low-rise purchase.

Which of these five projects offers the best balance of height and price?

Prestige Falcon City Luxe, most likely. It combines genuine high-rise scale, towers up to G+31, with an entry price well below what Phoenix Kessaku or Sobha One World's larger units command, while still sitting inside a fully planned, amenity-rich township.

FAQs

1. Which is the tallest apartment building in Bangalore?

Phoenix Kessaku in Rajajinagar currently holds that title among completed buildings, with five towers each 30 floor tall. Sobha One World in Hoskote will likely take that record once complete, with towers planned up to 46 floor.

2. What counts as a high-rise apartment in Bangalore?

Most planners in the city treat anything above 20 floors as a genuine high-rise. Below that height, buildings are usually classified as mid-rise instead.

3. How tall are the towers at Prestige Falcon City Luxe?

The towers rise up to G+31 floors, which works out to 32 storeys including the ground floor. The project has 7 towers in total across 41 acres.

4. Is Sobha One World the tallest under-construction project in Bangalore?

Yes, currently. Its 14 towers in Phase 1 are planned to rise up to 45 or 46 floors, among the tallest residential structures being built anywhere in the city right now.

5. Are high rise apartments more expensive than low-rise ones in Bangalore?

Not always. Prestige Park Ridge starts from ₹85 lakh despite towers up to 24 floors, while some low-rise gated communities in premium micro-markets cost more per square foot. Location usually drives price more than height alone.

6. What safety features should I check in a high-rise apartment?

Confirm the fire NOC, refuge floor spacing, and lift-to-unit ratio before booking. These matter far more in a 25 plus floor tower than in a low-rise building, and reputed developers list this information on request.

7. Which zone of Bangalore has the most high-rise apartment activity right now?

South Bangalore leads this list, with three of the five projects here, Prestige Falcon City Luxe, Prestige Southern Star Phase 2, and Prestige Park Ridge, all rising along the Kanakapura Road and Bannerghatta Road corridors.
