Master Plan & Site Design

SNN Electronic City Master Plan

The SNN Electronic City master plan is built around a single organising idea: go vertical, and give the ground back to people. Rather than covering the site with mid-rise blocks and surface parking, the plan concentrates all 552 Phase 1 homes into three high-rise towers - each a 3B + G + 36 structure rising to roughly 120 metres - and pushes parking entirely underground across three basement levels, so the land freed up at grade becomes landscape, amenity decks, walkways and open green space. For another Bengaluru planning reference, Sobha OneWorld helps keep attention on density, circulation, landscape depth, and the way residents will move through the community.

Design Intent

Vertical, Green and Open by Design

Three towers, not one slab, and not a dozen low blocks. The three-tower arrangement gives SNN Electronic City a legible skyline silhouette while spacing the buildings to let light and air move between them - improving cross-ventilation, reducing the canyon effect, and ensuring that apartments on most faces enjoy open outlooks rather than staring into a neighbouring wall. The towers are positioned to maximise the panoramic views that 120-metre height makes possible across the Electronic City greenbelt and skyline, and to keep the built footprint compact relative to the overall plot.

Land-Use Breakdown

Indicative Land Use

Land useIndicative sharePurpose
Tower footprints (built)~25 – 30%Three high-rise towers
Landscape & open green~35 – 40%Gardens, lawns, tree cover, courts
Amenity & clubhouse zones~10 – 15%Clubhouse, pool deck, sports
Internal roads & circulation~10%Arrival, fire-tender access, drop-offs
Pedestrian plazas & walkways~10%Walking loops, seating, play

Because parking sits below ground, the surface is reserved almost entirely for green, social and pedestrian use - the inverse of the surface-parking-dominated layouts common in older Electronic City stock.

Site Design

SNN Electronic City Master Plan - How the Site Works

Building placement strategy

The three towers are arranged to balance privacy, views and open space. Spacing between towers is set so that habitable rooms are not in direct sightline of one another at close range, and orientation is tuned to capture prevailing breezes and the best long-distance views while managing afternoon heat gain on the western faces. Each tower lands on its own ground-level lobby and arrival point, so resident movement is distributed rather than funnelled through a single congested entrance. With 36 residential floors over a ground level and a modest number of apartments per floor, lift cores are sized for short wait times even at peak commuting hours.

Green belt and open space

Open space is the centrepiece of the plan rather than a leftover. The intent is a layered green environment: a tree-lined arrival avenue, central landscaped gardens between the towers, dedicated lawns for yoga and gatherings, shaded seating courts, and softscaped edges along the site boundary. Mature and fast-growing native species are favoured for shade and biodiversity, and the planting is designed to be irrigated substantially with treated water from the on-site sewage treatment plant, closing the water loop. Despite the high-rise massing, a resident at ground level experiences gardens and greenery rather than parked cars.

Road, circulation and pedestrian movement

Vehicular circulation is kept deliberately light at grade. Vehicles enter from Neotown Main Road into a controlled arrival court, descend to the three basement parking levels, and the surface road network is limited to what fire-tender access, service movement and resident drop-offs require. The pedestrian network knits the three towers to the clubhouse, the amenity decks and the gardens through shaded, step-free walkways, with a perimeter jogging and walking loop, rest points and exercise stations. Children's play areas are placed within sight of seating, and senior-citizen decks sit in quieter, shaded corners. Lighting is designed for safe after-dark use.

Below-ground and sustainability infrastructure

The three basement levels do far more than park cars: they house transformer and DG rooms, pumping and water-treatment plant, fire-fighting tanks and pump rooms, and the building services a 120-metre tower requires, with provision for EV charging. The plan integrates the environmental systems expected of a contemporary premium high-rise - a sewage treatment plant with treated-water reuse, rainwater harvesting, LED common-area lighting and efficient pumps and lifts, solar provision for common-services load, and segregated waste handling with organic composting at source.

Fire safety and tall-building systems

A ~120-metre residential tower is governed by stringent high-rise fire and life-safety norms. Each tower is planned with pressurised fire-fighting staircases, fire-rated lift lobbies, wet risers and sprinkler coverage, smoke detection and a fire-alarm system, and refuge floors at the intervals tall buildings require. Fire-tender access is a primary driver of the surface road layout, and the three basement levels carry their own ventilation, smoke-extraction and fire-suppression systems.

Phasing and what to confirm

Phase 1 delivers the three towers and 552 homes described here, with the amenity programme sized to serve this community so early residents are not left waiting on later phases. Because the project is pre-launch, the details reflect design intent rather than a sanctioned document. At booking and again on RERA registration, obtain the sanctioned plan and confirm the land area, tower and floor count, unit and per-floor count, committed open space and amenities versus future-phase reservations, parking allocation, setbacks, tower spacing and approved building height. See the amenities page for the full facility programme and the overview page for the project specification.

Sustainability & Long-Run Operations

SNN Electronic City Master Plan - Sustainability and Long-Run Building Operations

A 552-home community on a compact ground footprint is only credible if the environmental systems are sized for the long run rather than the launch brochure. The SNN Electronic City master plan treats sustainability and ongoing operations as design constraints from day one, which is what allows the site to read as green and walkable at the same density that drives the project's investment math.

Water cycle and STP-led irrigation

The on-site sewage treatment plant is sized for the full Phase 1 population at design occupancy, with treated water cycled back into landscape irrigation, basement washdown and flushing across the towers. Rainwater harvesting tanks capture roof and surface runoff from the gardens, recharging shallow aquifers and refilling the treatment-plant supply during heavier rainfall months. The combined effect is to insulate residents from the freshwater shortages that periodically squeeze Bengaluru's outer corridors, and to keep landscape green even in extended dry spells.

Energy efficiency and solar provisioning

Common-area and corridor lighting is fully LED on motion and daylight sensors, lift drives are specified for regenerative braking, and pumping systems run on variable-frequency drives to match load to demand. The plan reserves rooftop and podium area for a solar photovoltaic array sized to a meaningful share of the common-services load, with capacity to extend further as panel pricing improves. EV-charging conduit is run through the basements to every parking bay so the build-out can scale with resident demand without retrofit.

Green-belt biodiversity and microclimate

The landscape palette favours native and adapted species over high-water exotics, with mature tree cover concentrated along the perimeter and shaded pedestrian spines linking the towers, clubhouse and amenity decks. The intent is a measurable on-site temperature drop relative to the surrounding road network, achieved through soft surfaces, planting depth and water-body placement. Composting at source handles wet waste from the community, closing the loop on landscape nutrients.
